DEAR INVESTORS:
Our 1995 fiscal year - representing the 12 months through November 30, 1995 -
saw a remarkable turnaround in the U.S. financial markets. An unusual alignment
of economic influences - moderate but steady economic growth, a mild inflation
environment, declining interest rates and rising corporate profits - buoyed
investor confidence and spurred major advances in both stock and bond prices.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average continued its unprecedented climb, surging
past the 5000 mark just nine months after reaching 4000 in February. Bond
markets rallied as well, reversing their pattern from a year earlier.
American Variable Insurance Series, which serves as the underlying investment
vehicle for your contract, benefited from the market's bounty. The value of all
of the funds in the series appreciated in fiscal 1995, most of them
substantially. These gains, along with positive cash flows into the funds,
significantly increased the assets of the series.
The year's results stand in marked contrast to those of fiscal 1994. When we
reported to you last year, the Federal Reserve was in the process of raising
the federal funds rate - the rate that banks charge each other for overnight
loans. Ultimately, it would move from 3% to 6% in seven steps over a 12-month
period. This attempt to temper economic growth and keep inflation low had its
desired effect. The U.S. economy continued to grow, but at a modest pace. The
economy's perceived "soft landing" contributed significantly to the strength of
U.S. financial markets in 1995.
Washington pitched in with good news as well. Investor confidence grew under
the assumption that the new Republican Congress would continue to slow the
growth of federal spending, and that a reduction in the capital gains tax rate
could be expected. As a cautionary note, we would add that should the budget
impasse continue, securities markets could be affected negatively.
Here are brief comments on the investment activities of each of the funds:
THE GROWTH FUND rose 35.4% for the 12 months ended November 30. Many U.S.
corporations posted record earnings over the period, due in part to
productivity gains, technological advances and a wave of restructurings across
a number of industries. At the same time, declining interest rates lowered
borrowing costs for businesses, encouraging them to expand. Electronic
technology was one of the strongest market sectors over the period. It was also
the fund's largest area of concentration. Among the fund's top gainers were
Adobe Systems, a developer of desktop publishing (+104.9%); LSI Logic, a
leading manufacturer of integrated circuits (+95.9%); and semiconductor giant
Intel (+93.6%). Media businesses were strongly represented among our largest
holdings as well. Many of these benefited from merger activity. At the other
end of the spectrum, sluggish consumer spending caused several of our specialty
retailer holdings to suffer. Given the strength of the technology sector, we
reduced some of our holdings in that area during the last half of the year.
This raised the fund's cash and equivalents position slightly, to 17% of
assets, which gives us ample buying reserves should the market experience a
correction.
THE INTERNATIONAL FUND posted a gain of 10.8% for fiscal 1995. U.S. financial
markets found themselves a step ahead of their non-U.S. counterparts, many of
which were grappling with the same economic uncertainties experienced here a
year ago. Measured in U.S. dollars, every major international market but
Switzerland lagged the United States. (In local currency, the U.S. market had
the best investment performance of all major world markets.) Stock prices in
Europe, the fund's largest geographic concentration, were lackluster for a
variety of reasons, including higher interest rates as governments there
attempted to keep inflation at bay. As always, the fund's analysts focused on
the long-term prospects of individual companies rather than the short-term
movements of local markets, and several of the fund's largest holdings were
also among the greatest gainers: Orkla, a Norwegian marketer of consumer
goods, posted a gain of 59.8%; British hotelier Forte increased by 41.3%; and
ABN AMRO, the Netherlands' largest banking group, returned 28.7% for the
period. On balance, the fund benefited from the strength in European
currencies, while elsewhere in the world, fluctuations in currency values had a
relatively minor effect on returns. In Japan, the fund's relatively small
weighting offered some protection against a 3.8% decline in stock prices there,
caused by a stubborn recession and a burgeoning bank crisis. Despite a somewhat
sluggish 12-month period, international markets have done very well over longer
time periods and we continue to believe they afford investors attractive
opportunities for growth.

</TABLE>
THE GROWTH-INCOME FUND increased 33.1% for the year, due in part to the sharp
rebound by companies in interest-rate-sensitive industries. The fund benefited
from its large investments in banking and insurance companies such as Allstate,
which rose 73.5%, and Citicorp, which gained 70.0% for the period. The fund
also had large concentrations in health care, broadcasting & publishing and
telecommunications, and many of the companies in those areas appreciated
considerably. With continuing cash flow in a robust stock market, the fund's
net assets increased 44% in the last 12 months. We used the opportunity to add
to many current holdings, as well as purchase stocks of new companies,
including several in the forest products and energy sectors. All told, we have
added 23 companies to the fund's portfolio and eliminated 20 since we last
reported to you six months ago. The fund's invested position was slightly
reduced at year-end. It now holds 17% of its assets in cash and equivalents as
a buying reserve.
THE ASSET ALLOCATION FUND posted a gain of 29.5% for the year. The fund
provides an opportunity to benefit from market cycles in all three major asset
classes, and this year it enjoyed virtually the best of all possible worlds.
The fund's asset mix throughout the year reflected the relative gains in each
market. On November 30, it held 70% in equities and 21% in bonds, with the
remainder in cash and equivalents. The equity portion of the fund, which is
similar to a conservative growth and income fund, concentrated on typically
stable industries such as health care, banking and energy, many of which
experienced substantial increases during the year. Financial services companies
did particularly well and several of the fund's most profitable holdings were
banks involved in recent merger talks. These included First Interstate Bancorp
(+90.1%), BankAmerica (+55.2%) and First Fidelity Bancorporation (+63.1%). On
the fixed-income side, declining longer term interest rates boosted bond prices
and contributed significantly to the fund's investment results.
THE HIGH-YIELD BOND FUND rose 19.8% as the rebound in debt markets helped most
of the fund's holdings recover last year's lost ground. High-yield bonds occupy
a unique position in the fixed-income universe. Many of these issuers are young
growth companies that have not yet achieved a high level of financial strength
or stability. Others are mature companies that, for one reason or another, do
not meet investment-grade standards. As a result, they offer higher yields than
companies with more solid balance sheets and higher cash flows. They are
sensitive not only to interest-rate swings, but also to the rise and fall of a
company's fortunes. In that regard, they share many characteristics with
stocks, and it was no surprise that the current strong stock market created an
attractive environment for high-yield bonds as well. Our ongoing research
effort has helped us uncover promising high-yielding opportunities. At fiscal
year-end, the fund held about 73% of its assets in U.S. corporate bonds, 13% in
non-U.S. securities and 7% in U.S. Treasury securities, with most of the
balance in cash and equivalents.
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT/AAA-RATED SECURITIES FUND rose 14.7%. Roughly one-half of
that amount represents interest income generated by the bonds in the portfolio.
The other half reflects increases in the bonds' prices. (Bond prices tend to
rise when interest rates decline, and vice versa.) Over the past 12 months, we
took several steps to take better advantage of the bond market rally. First, we
increased the fund's U.S. Treasury holdings. These securities tend to do well
in an environment of declining yields because, unlike corporate bonds or
mortgage pass-through securities, they typically cannot be paid off early.
Second, we increased the fund's exposure to the bond market by reducing the
cash position in the latter half of the year. While we believe that the current
environment of moderate growth and low inflation should have positive
consequences for fixed-income issues for some time, we are monitoring
developments as they arise. In the meantime, the fund continues to find
attractive investment opportunities among a variety of top-rated fixed-income
obligations.
THE CASH MANAGEMENT FUND had a 5.6% return for the 12 months ended November 30.
Short-term interest rates and money market yields continued to rise at the
start of fiscal 1995. Since then, moderate economic growth, continued low
inflation and a slowdown in consumer spending have led the Federal Reserve to
loosen its hold on short-term credit. The Fed cut the federal funds rate by a
quarter of a percentage point two times in the last six months - once in July
and again after the close of the fiscal year. The fund maintains a high-quality
orientation by investing only in money market instruments carrying the highest
credit rating from Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service, or those
determined to be of comparable quality. At the close of the fiscal year, 94% of
the fund's assets was concentrated in top-quality commercial paper. The fund
can be used as a suitable base from which regular investments can be made into
other funds.
As we look ahead to the coming year, economic prospects look bright. Of course,
while years like the one just past are always welcome, investors would do well
to remember that financial markets can - and do - move in both directions. In
the meantime, we remain committed to helping you achieve your long-term goals
by uncovering promising investment opportunities as they arise. On the
following pages, we invite you to learn a little bit about how the series'
investment adviser goes about looking for those opportunities.
We look forward to reporting to you again in six months.
Cordially,

CAPITAL RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY:
AN ARCH TO BUILD UPON
HOW YOUR INVESTMENT ADVISER PUTS EXPERIENCE TO WORK
Any architect will tell you that whether you're adding a room to your house or
erecting a 50-story office tower, you must start with a stable foundation.
Without the proper support, your structure may lean to one side or you may end
up with a building that crumbles under its own weight.
Like any building, a long-term investment portfolio needs a steady base to help
it grow. The funds in American Variable Insurance Series are constructed on a
solid foundation: the experienced professional management of their investment
adviser, Capital Research and Management Company (CRMC).
With roots reaching back to 1931, the Capital organization, parent to CRMC, has
provided prudent investment management for more than 60 years. In addition to
advising American Variable Insurance Series, CRMC is the investment adviser for
the 28 mutual funds in The American Funds Group, one of the nation's largest
mutual fund families. CRMC's building blocks have been a time-tested investment
philosophy, an extensive research network and talented professionals with
investment management expertise. This broad base of experience and knowledge
has helped Capital Research and Management Company achieve a history of
consistently superior long-term investment results for its investors.
INTENSIVE RESEARCH: CRMC'S WORLD OF EXPERIENCE
There are many things that can affect the value of an investment - changes in a
company's business environment, economic policies, currency fluctuations,
political events, even accounting standards, to name a few. Making an
investment decision requires a global perspective on economies, markets and
companies. This is true whether that investment is made abroad or right here in
the United States.
[begin chart]
CRMC'S GLOBAL REACH*
1,175 research calls in Europe
5,010 research calls in North America
118 research calls in Africa
442 research calls in Latin America
64 research calls in the Middle East
2,642 research calls in Asia/Pacific Rim
228 research calls in Eastern Europe
*As of 12/31/94
[end chart]
CRMC set up its first research base outside the United States in the early
1960s, making it one of the first U.S. money managers to establish an
international presence. What started as a single office in Geneva three decades
ago has grown into a sophisticated research network operating out of nine
offices on three continents. Each year, CRMC's research analysts - who hail
from diverse cultural, business and national backgrounds - call on thousands of
companies, government officials and other experts around the world in an effort
to gain insight into the global marketplace and search for attractive
investment opportunities.
CRMC's research effort is also supported by one of the world's largest
databases, developed by one of Capital's own subsidiaries. The Morgan Stanley
Capital International World, EAFE(R) (Europe, Australasia, Far East) and
emerging markets indexes are produced by the Capital organization. They provide
an industry-wide standard for statistical information on markets around the
world. (The commercial rights were sold to Morgan Stanley in 1986.) The widely
quoted periodical, Morgan Stanley Capital International Perspective, also
compiled by Capital, provides information on more than 2,700 securities in 22
countries.
A UNIQUE SYSTEM FOR MANAGING ASSETS
A cornerstone of CRMC's investment management process is the multiple portfolio
counselor system. Under this method, which has been employed since 1958, the
assets of each fund are divided among several portfolio counselors, while
another segment is assigned to Capital's research analysts. Portfolio
counselors are "generalists" who select from a wide range of investments, while
research analysts are "specialists" who buy and sell securities among the
industry sectors they follow.
Each portion of the fund is managed independently, as though it constituted an
entire fund. An investment committee, meanwhile, reviews transactions to ensure
they're in keeping with the fund's objectives.

extensive research network and talented professionals with exceptional
investment management expertise.

The Growth-Income Fund has five portfolio counselors, each of whom
independently manages a portion of the fund's assets. A sixth segment is
managed by a group of research analysts.
The illustration on the left shows how one fund works. The Growth-Income Fund
has five portfolio counselors. Among them, these investment professionals have
91 years of experience with the Capital organization, providing a wealth of
knowledge and skill that few organizations can match. Instead of investing in a
specific industry or geographic region, each portfolio counselor assembles a
portfolio of securities that resembles an entire fund. A sixth segment of the
fund's portfolio is managed by a group of research analysts, who can invest in
securities in industries or regions they follow.
The independence fostered by this system means that portfolio counselors can
focus on those investments in which they have the greatest conviction.
Diversity of opinion, untempered by the need for consensus, is perhaps the
system's greatest strength. It has ensured that investors have the opportunity
to benefit from the viewpoints and perspectives of a range of professionals
with differing approaches and styles. Different investment styles have tended
to smooth out the peaks and valleys of investing: The funds in American
Variable Insurance Series have seldom had the best - or the worst - results in
any given year, because when one counselor has had a poor year, his or her
results have usually been offset by the success of one or more other
counselors.
The multiple portfolio counselor system was designed to produce consistently
strong long-term investment results, but it has also fostered an additional
benefit. By not relying on a single manager, it has brought remarkable
continuity to the organization's investment management efforts. When one
counselor's responsibilities change, only a portion of the portfolio changes
hands. Smooth and gradual transitions help CRMC's investment approach remain
consistent.
Although each portfolio counselor may take a different approach to investing,
all share a common conviction, and that is to maintain a long-term perspective.
Rather than buy and sell based on short-term market fluctuations, they prefer
to buy good companies at reasonable prices - and hold them for extended
periods. A commitment to a long-term investment approach is another hallmark of
Capital Research and Management Company.
A SEARCH FOR FUNDAMENTAL VALUE
Capital Research and Management Company takes a value-oriented approach to
investing. Instead of following trends, analysts look for individual companies
whose fundamental long-term prospects appear to be better than the market says
they are. Research helps them uncover those opportunities. Before purchasing a
security, an analyst may spend hundreds of hours studying the company or
issuer's financial records, talking and meeting with managers, suppliers,
customers and competitors, all in an effort to determine a company's prospects.
Only then, and only if the price seems reasonable, will he or she recommend
that security.
Research, value, independent thinking: Six decades of investing have taught us
that these fundamentals can provide an arch of experience for building
long-term goals.

WHAT DOES AN INVESTMENT ADVISER DO?
Capital Research and Management Company may not be a name you are familiar
with, but as the adviser for all of the funds in the American Variable
Insurance Series, it plays a key role in your variable annuity or variable life
insurance contract. Each fund is a separate, fully managed portfolio of
securities with distinct investment objectives and policies. It is CRMC's job
to make investment decisions on your behalf that are in keeping with those
objectives and policies.

Notes to Financial Statements
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 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 traded on a national securities exchange (or reported
on the NASDAQ national market) and securities traded in the over-the-counter
market
are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation; other
securities, and securities for which no sale was reported on that date, are
stated at the last quoted bid price. 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 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 year.
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 $1,861,000, of
which $27,000 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 year ended November 30, 1995. The High-Yield
Bond Fund and the U.S. Government/AAA-Rated Securities Fund had available at
November 30, 1995 capital loss carryforwards totaling $9,307,000 and $7,165,000
respectively, which may be used to offset capital gains realized during
subsequent years through November 30, 2003. It is the intention of these funds
not to make distributions from capital gains while there are capital loss
carryforwards. For book and federal income tax purposes, the amounts of
unrealized appreciation and depreciation and the cost of portfolio securities
at November 30, 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 November 30, 1995, aggregate amounts deferred were $50,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
_________________________________________________________________
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
American Variable Insurance Series
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the per-share data and ratios
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Growth
Fund, the International Fund, the Growth-Income Fund, the Asset Allocation
Fund, the High-Yield Bond Fund, the U.S. Government/AAA-Rated Securities Fund
and the Cash Management Fund (constituting the American Variable Insurance
Series, hereafter referred to as the "Series") at November 30, 1995, the
results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in
each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended,
and the per-share data and ratios for each of the five years in the period then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and per-share data and ratios (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Series' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at November 30, 1995 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures
where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above
