TO OUR POLICYOWNERS:
A banner year in the stock and bond markets helped many of Northwestern's
portfolios turn in strong performances for 1995. During the second half, when
the Dow galloped past the 5,000 mark, these portfolios continued to enjoy the
robust gains made during the first half. For the separate portfolios, judicious
stock selection played a critical role.
For example, in choosing more conservative stocks within the technology sector,
the Aggressive Growth Stock Portfolio dodged the biggest losses as the sector
sputtered in the second half. Similarly, the Growth Stock Portfolio exploited
increases in financials, telecommunications, health care and consumer
non-durable stocks. The Growth and Income Stock Portfolio, which tends to
approximate the sector weightings of the market, reaped the returns of the
overall market rally. Finally, though many international funds suffered during
the second half, the International Equity Portfolio turned in a very respectable
comparative performance in part due to good returns in several European markets.
For the US financial markets as a whole, slow economic growth and low inflation
proved to be extremely favorable for financial assets. Interest rates have
fallen steadily to levels not seen since early 1994, and corporations have
turned in record profits through cost cutting, higher operating margins and
higher productivity.
Also fueling the current market rally is a flood of money pouring into stock
mutual funds from retirement-oriented vehicles such as 401(k)s. A wave of
mergers and acquisitions along with share buy-back programs buoyed the market
while Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and secondary offerings have surged to
record levels.
From our perspective, there are several signs that the US economy is coasting
toward a slowdown. Anemic housing starts, sluggish auto sales and poor retail
sales indicate a consumer reluctance to spend. Already saddled with bleaker job
prospects and high levels of debt, consumers seem to be reacting to the
continuing trend of corporate layoffs. Faced with this eroding consumer
confidence, the manufacturing sector is also feeling the pinch of a slower
economy. We view these as important short-term developments.
Amid this economic sluggishness, however, we see several bright spots. After
maintaining a relatively tight monetary policy during the early part of the
year, the Federal Reserve loosened its grip on the economy. Due to the economic
slowdown and a lack of inflationary pressure, the Fed can be expected to
gradually lower interest rates. Moreover, if significant progress is made on
balancing the budget, the Fed should begin to aggressively lower short-term
interest rates. Inflation, which remained subdued throughout the recovery,
appears poised to head even lower during the slowdown. Bottlenecks and shortages
- -- which normally put pressure on inflation -- are now largely absent.
Looking ahead, we think it's wise to expect more volatility in the upcoming
year. Though there are many positive market trends, it is difficult to predict
where this unprecedented bull market will head in the future. It would not be
unreasonable to expect a setback in the financial markets at some point. But, in
our view, maintaining a long-term investment focus is the antidote to market
volatility.

INDEX 500 STOCK PORTFOLIO
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index provided great performance in 1995
and outperformed the majority of active stock managers.
Northwestern's Index 500 Portfolio is designed to achieve investment
results that approximate the performance of the Standard & Poor's
500 Composite Stock Price Index and continues to achieve that
objective. The portfolio is fully invested in equities.
As indicated on the graph, on April 30, 1993, the portfolio was
indexed to approximate the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index. Prior to April 30, 1993, the portfolio
was actively managed.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an index of
unmanaged groups of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The index is heavily weighted
toward stocks with large market capitalizations and represents
approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic
common stocks.
[Camera Ready Graph]
This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 12/31/85. Returns
shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and
reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account
sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future
performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The
net investment rates of return shown on page 10 reflect mortality and expense
risk charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of
insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart,
would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a
personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of
insurance protection.

GROWTH STOCK PORTFOLIO
The performance of the Growth Stock Portfolio was helped by gains in
several sectors, including financials, telecommunications, health
care and consumer non-durable stocks. During the second half, the
portfolio maintained a relatively small cash position, but shifted
the types of stocks held in anticipation of weaker economic activity
and slower corporate profit growth in the upcoming year. Sector
weights were reduced in consumer cyclicals, basic materials and
technology, given the economic sensitivity of these industries.
Cash levels were kept close to seven percent of assets throughout
the period. The portfolio remains well diversified across major
market sectors, with strategy focused on identifying high quality
growth companies.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an index of
unmanaged groups of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are

GROWTH AND INCOME STOCK PORTFOLIO
During the second half, the Growth and Income Stock Portfolio
trailed the returns of the S&P 500 Index. Recent market trends have
not favored the portfolio's style of investing, with investors
currently focused on short-term earnings momentum rather than
long-term value. Gains in the overall market have tended to be
concentrated among relatively few companies. This portfolio is
broadly diversified, and should be well positioned to benefit when
the market again broadens out.
Stock selection, rather than industry sector rotation, continues to
be the major determinant of portfolio performance. The portfolio
maintained a fully invested position during the second half, with
cash averaging two to three percent of assets.

AGGRESSIVE GROWTH STOCK PORTFOLIO
During 1995, the Aggressive Growth Portfolio experienced very strong
returns, in part because of its strategy in technology stocks. Even
though this industry had phenomenal performance during the first half
of the year, the Aggressive Growth Portfolio concentrated on the less
speculative issues in the sector. In the fourth quarter, when
technology stocks faced their biggest losses, this more conservative
approach benefited the portfolio.
Meanwhile, the portfolio's exposure to the health care and consumer
cyclical sectors increased somewhat, largely due to their improved
performance. Weightings in the utilities and basic materials sectors
declined through selective selling and relative underperformance. Cash
reached a fourth quarter low of five percent, ending the year at seven
percent.
Aggressive Growth investors may face increased volatility in the
upcoming year. If the markets level off or decline, there may be more
downside risk with smaller, less seasoned companies. However, stock
selection continues to be the primary focus of the portfolio.
Since the portfolio invests primarily in small capitalization issues,
the indices that best reflect the portfolio's performance are Wilshire
Next 1750 Index and Wilshire Small Cap Index.
The Wilshire Next 1750 is an unmanaged, equally weighted index.
Included in this index are those stocks which are ranked 750 to 2500 by
market capitalization in the Wilshire 5000. The largest sectors
represented in this index are financial services, consumer services and
basic industry. Its average market capitalization is approximately $515
million as of December 31, 1995.
[CAMERA READY GRAPH]
The Wilshire Small Cap Index is a subset of the Wilshire Next 1750 and
includes 250 stocks chosen based upon their size, sector and liquidity
characteristics. Each stock is equally weighted in this unmanaged
index. The average market capitalization is approximately $620 million
as of December 31, 1995. The largest sector weightings include
financial services, consumer services and technology.
On May 3, 1994, the Northwestern Mutual Aggressive Growth Stock Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund") merged into the Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. Aggressive Growth
Stock Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The Portfolio had no assets prior to the
merger. After the merger, the assets of the Portfolio were those of the Fund.
The investment objectives, policies, management and expenses of the Portfolio
are identical to those of the Fund. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund
prior to the merge is included with the performance of the Portfolio in the
graph and total return figures above.
This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 11/30/90
(commencement of the Fund's operations). Returns shown include deductions for

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The second half proved to be a challenging investment period for the
global stock markets and for the International Equity Portfolio, as
well. Most foreign markets significantly underperformed versus the
US market, although returns were still positive. Moreover, the
strong performance of the US market attracted capital away from
overseas markets, further reinforcing these trends.
Portfolio strategy maintains a long-term investment horizon, and
seeks to identify the best values across all markets. This low
turnover approach resulted in relatively few changes in geographic
or industry sector weights. Cash dropped slightly to nine percent.
The portfolio continued to be heavily weighted in Europe and
underweighted in Japan, with some selective exposure to the emerging
markets.
The recent trends of sluggish foreign economic growth and low
inflation have prompted foreign central banks to begin lowering
interest rates to stimulate growth. This should bode well for the
portfolio in the months ahead.
[Camera Ready Graph]
As depicted in the graph, the International Equity Portfolio is compared against
the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE ("Europe-Australia-Far East")
Index. The index is composed of approximately 1100 companies in 20 countries in
Europe and the Pacific Basin. The objective of the index is to reflect the
movements of stock markets in these countries by representing an unmanaged
(indexed) portfolio within each country. The indices are constructed so that
companies chosen represent about 60% of market capitalization in each market,
industry composition of the market is reflected and a cross section of large,
medium, and small cap stocks is included taking into account liquidity concerns.
The index is calculated in U.S.$.
On May 3, 1994, the Northwestern Mutual International Equity Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund") merged into the Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. International
Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The Portfolio had no assets prior to the
merger. After the merger, the assets of the Portfolio were those of the Fund.
The investment objectives, policies, management and expenses of the Portfolio
are identical to those of the Fund. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund
prior to the merge is included with the performance of the Portfolio in the
graph and total return figures above.
This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 4/30/93
(commencement of the Fund's operations). Returns shown include deductions for
management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns
exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past
performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and

SELECT BOND PORTFOLIO
After a brief rise in interest rates early in the summer, the bond
market continued its powerful rally. This was due to a combination
of weakening economic growth, falling inflation and optimism
involving a balanced budget from Washington. Two-year Treasury rates
fell from 5.79 percent to 5.15 percent, while 30-year Treasury rates
fell 65 basis points to 5.95 percent.
The portfolio's average maturity was lengthened as long rates
approached seven percent during the summer, benefiting from the
subsequent rally that took long rates below six percent. This
strategy was in anticipation of progress in Washington, and the
expected enthusiasm for bonds. The portfolio maintained a large
weighting in corporate bonds, with an economy that is producing
excellent corporate cash flow and improving credit quality. This was
the best performing bond market sector for the second half, as well
as the entire year. The portfolio weightings at year-end were 13
percent cash, 15 percent Treasurys, 21 percent mortgages and 51
percent corporates.
[Camera Ready Graph]
Since the portfolio invests broadly in U.S. Government, mortgage and corporate
bonds, the graph depicts an appropriate comparison to the Merrill Lynch Domestic
Master Index. The index is an unmanaged market value weighted index comprised of
U.S. Government, mortgage and investment-grade corporate bonds. The index
measures the income provided by, and the price changes of, the underlying
securities.
This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 12/31/85. Returns

HIGH YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO
High yield market returns lagged the investment grade bond market
during the second half of the year. It is not unusual for the high
yield market to underperform in a bond market rally since the high
yield market is less sensitive to changes in the general level of
interest rates.
The high yield market finished 1995 on a cautious note as a result
of concerns about an economic slowdown and an uptick in defaults.
Although defaults are up and the credit cycle is maturing, an
imminent resurgence in default rates to the levels seen in the late
1980s is not expected.
The High Yield Bond Portfolio adopted a more defensive posture in
the second half of the year in anticipation of slower economic
growth. Sector weights were reduced in cyclical sectors such as home
building, steel and auto-related industries. At year end, the top
industry sector weights were in stable industries, including
cable/telecommunications, gaming and retail-food. The average yield
on the portfolio was approximately 11.15 percent, the average
maturity was just over eight years. The portfolio was fully invested
with a cash position of about 2.2 percent.
The total return performance for the High Yield Bond Portfolio is
shown in comparison with the Salomon Brothers High Yield Market
Index and the Lehman Brothers High Yield Intermediate Market Index.
The Lehman Brothers index is thought to be a better measure of
portfolio performance since it has a quality and maturity profile
that more closely resembles the High Yield Bond Portfolio.
[Camera Ready Graph]
The Salomon Brothers High Yield Market Index includes cash-pay and
deferred-interest corporate bonds with remaining maturities of at least one
year. All bonds in the index are publicly placed, have a fixed coupon and are
non-convertible. Bonds issued under Rule 144A
are added after the issuer has registered the security with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The index is an unmanaged market value weighted index and
measures the income provided by, and the price changes of, the underlying
securities.
The Lehman Brothers High Yield Intermediate Market Index is made up of dollar
denominated, nonconvertible, SEC publicly registered fixed rate noninvestment
grade issues. The bonds will have remaining maturities of between one and ten
years and have an outstanding par value of at least $100 million. Yankee and
global bonds (SEC registered) of issuers in G-7 countries are included. Original
issue zeroes and step-up coupon structures are also included, however, the index
excludes pay-in-kind (PIK) bonds. Each bond must be rated Ba1 or lower by
Moody's Investor Service. If a Moody's rating is unavailable, the bonds must be
rated BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor's, or by Fitch if an S&P rating is
unavailable. A small number of unrated bonds are included in the index; to be
eligible they must have previously held a high yield rating or have been
associated with a high yield issuer. The index is an unmanaged market value
weighted index and measures the income provided by, and the price changes of,
the underlying securities.
This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 5/3/94 (commencement
of operations). Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund
expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for
separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not
predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than
their original cost. The net investment rates of return shown on page 10 reflect
mortality and expense risk charges deducted from the assets of the separate
account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Money market rates fell about 50 basis points during the period, reflecting the
December rate cut by the Federal Reserve and expectations of further easing in
early 1996. The consensus forecast is that short term rates will fall
substantially in the first half of the year. As a result, investors have been
willing to accept lower yields to extend maturities and lock in these rates
relative to purchasing shorter maturity investments.
The Money Market Portfolio maintained an average maturity shorter than the broad
universe of money market funds. This is due to the belief that the Fed will be
cautious about lowering rates, and that the market is overly optimistic about
the extent of future rate cuts.
BALANCED PORTFOLIO
Benefiting from a relatively fully invested position and an
aggressively structured bond portfolio, the fund was able to take
advantage of the positive trends in the stock and bond markets. As
of year end, the asset mix in the Balanced Portfolio was 54 percent
stocks, 35 percent bonds, with cash at 11 percent of the portfolio.
The asset mix remained fairly steady for most of the period,
although there were some modest shifts between stocks and bonds to
take advantage of market opportunities. The stock market
significantly outperformed other asset categories and we continue to
favor equities over fixed income investments. The portfolio's heavy
weighting in corporate bonds presumes little risk of a recession
this year.
The Federal Reserve Board's current stance on easing monetary policy
appears to bode well for the financial markets, at least in the near
term. The portfolio is positioned to benefit from a further rise in
the stock and bond markets. However, any change in the recent
favorable trends, such as higher inflation or interest rates, would
trigger a less aggressive asset mix in the portfolio.
[Camera Ready Graph]
In the graph, the portfolio is compared against three indices representing the
three major components of the portfolio: equities, fixed income and cash
equivalent investments.
The Merrill Lynch Domestic Master Index is an unmanaged market value weighted
index comprised of U.S. Government, mortgage and investment-grade corporate
bonds. The index measures the income provided by, and the price changes of, the
underlying securities.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an index of unmanaged
groups of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. The index is heavily weighted toward stocks with large market
capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market
value of all domestic common stocks.
This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 12/31/85. Returns
shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and
reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account
sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future
performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The
net investment rates of return shown on page 10 reflect mortality and expense
risk charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of
insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart,
would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a
personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of
insurance protection.

NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
Note 1 -- Northwestern Mutual Variable Life Account (the "Account") is
registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940
and is a segregated asset account of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("Northwestern Mutual Life") used to fund variable life insurance
policies.
Note 2 -- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principal
accounting policies are summarized below.
Note 3 -- All assets of each Division of the Account are invested in shares of
the corresponding Portfolio of Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund"). The shares are valued at the Fund's offering and redemption price per
share. The Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. is a diversified open-end
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Note 4 -- Dividend income from the Fund is recorded on the record date of the
dividends. Transactions in Fund shares are accounted for on the trade date. The
basis for determining cost on sale of Fund shares is identified cost. Purchases
and sales of Fund shares for the year ended December 31, 1995 by each Division
are shown below:

</TABLE>
Note 5 -- A deduction for mortality and expense risks is determined daily and
paid to Northwestern Mutual Life. Generally, for policies issued before October
11, 1995, and policies issued on or after October 11, 1995 the deduction is at
an annual rate of .50% and .60%, respectively, of the net assets of the Account.
The mortality risk is that insureds may not live as long as estimated. The
expense risk is that expenses of issuing and administering the policies may
exceed the estimated costs.
Certain deductions are also made from the annual or single premiums before
amounts are allocated to the Account. These deductions are for (1) sales load,
(2) administrative expenses, (3) taxes and (4) a risk charge for the guaranteed
minimum death benefit.
Additional mortality costs are deducted from the policy annually and are paid to
Northwestern Mutual Life to cover the cost of providing insurance protection.
This cost is actuarially calculated based upon the insured's age, the 1980
Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and the amount of insurance
provided under the policy.
Note 6 -- Northwestern Mutual Life is taxed as a "life insurance company" under
the Internal Revenue Code. The variable life insurance policies which are funded
in the Account are taxed as part of the operations of Northwestern Mutual Life.
Policies provide that a charge for taxes may be made against the assets of the
Account. Generally, for policies issued before October 11, 1995, Northwestern
Mutual Life charges the Account at an annual rate of .20% of the Account's net
assets and reserves the right to increase, decrease or eliminate the charge for
taxes in the future. Generally, for policies issued on or after October 11,
1995, there is no charge being made against the assets of the Account for
federal income taxes, but Northwestern Mutual Life reserves the right to charge
for taxes in the future.
Note 7 -- The Account is credited for the policyowners' net annual premiums at
the respective policy anniversary dates regardless of when policyowners actually
pay their premiums. Northwestern Mutual Life's equity represents any unpaid
portion of net annual premiums.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To The Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc.
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 financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Index 500 Stock Portfolio,
Growth Stock Portfolio, Growth and Income Stock Portfolio, Aggressive Growth
Stock Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Select Bond Portfolio, High
Yield Bond Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio and Balanced Portfolio
(constituting Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as
the "Fund") at December 31, 1995, the results of each of their operations for
the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for the year ended
December 31, 1995, and for the other periods indicated, and the financial
highlights for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the other periods indicated,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's 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 December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL SERIES FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
Note 1 -- Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"), formerly
Northwestern Mutual Variable Life Series Fund, Inc., is registered as a
diversified open-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The Series Fund consists of the Index 500 Stock Portfolio, Growth Stock
Portfolio, Growth and Income Stock Portfolio, Aggressive Growth Stock Portfolio,
International Equity Portfolio, Select Bond Portfolio, High Yield Bond
Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, and the Balanced Portfolio (the
"Portfolios"). Shares are presently offered only to The Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company ("Northwestern Mutual Life") and its segregated asset
accounts.
On May 3, 1994, five new portfolios commenced operations in the Series Fund:
Growth Stock Portfolio, Growth and Income Stock Portfolio, Aggressive Growth
Stock Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio and High Yield Bond Portfolio.
These five portfolios were organized with 700,000,000 authorized shares of
Common Stock for each of the Aggressive Growth Stock and International Equity
Portfolios and 400,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock for each of the
Growth Stock, Growth and Income Stock and High Yield Bond Portfolios. Par Value
is $.01 per share. Northwestern Mutual Life purchased 25,000,000 shares each of
the Growth Stock, Growth and Income Stock and High Yield Bond Portfolios at
$1.00 per share.
Note 2 -- The assets of Northwestern Mutual Life's variable annuity funds were
merged into the Series Fund in a tax-free exchange of fund shares on May 3,
1994. The following summarizes the merge:

The Aggressive Growth Stock and International Equity Portfolios had no assets
prior to the merger so the assets of the Funds became the assets of the
Portfolios. Hence, these Portfolios commenced operations in the Series Fund on
May 3, 1994 at $1.91 and $1.22, respectively.
Note 3 -- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
47
<PAGE> 51
NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL SERIES FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principal accounting policies are summarized below.
Note 4 -- Bonds are valued on the basis of prices furnished by a service which
determines prices for normal institutional size trading units of bonds, without
regard to exchange or over-the-counter prices. When quotations are not readily
available, bonds are valued at fair market value determined by procedures
approved by the Board of Directors. Stocks listed on a national or foreign stock
exchange are valued at the final sale price, or final bid price in absence of a
sale. Stocks not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange are valued at
the closing bid price on the over-the-counter market. Money market investments,
other than in the Money Market Portfolio, with maturities exceeding sixty days
but generally not exceeding one year are valued by marking to market on the
basis of an average of the most recent bid prices or yields. Money market
investments with maturities of sixty days or less and all securities in the
Money Market Portfolio are valued on an amortized cost basis or, if the current
market value differs substantially from the amortized cost, by marking to
market.
Note 5 -- Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation.
Purchases and sales of securities and income items denominated in foreign
currencies are translated in U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such
transactions. When the International Equity Portfolio purchases or sells a
foreign security it may enter into a foreign exchange currency contract to
minimize market risk from the trade date to the settlement date of such
transaction. Such foreign exchange currency contracts are marked to market
daily.
The International Equity Portfolio does not separately report the results of
operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from
investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign
currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade date and
settlement date on security transactions, the differences between the amounts of
dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the portfolio's books, and
the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Note 6 -- The Index 500 Stock and Balanced Portfolios invest in futures
contracts as an alternative to investing in individual securities. The Index 500
Stock and Balanced Portfolios could be exposed to market risk due to changes in
the value of the underlying securities or due to an illiquid secondary market.
Futures contracts are marked to market daily based upon quoted settlement
prices. The Portfolios receive from or pay to brokers an amount of cash equal to
the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments
are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized
gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized
gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Note 7 -- Interest income and discounts earned are recorded daily on the accrual
basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as
information from foreign issuers is available. Where applicable, dividends are
recorded net of foreign dividend tax. Discounts and premiums on securities
purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities when required
for federal income tax purposes. Securities transactions are accounted for on
the day following the trade date except for money market investments which are
accounted for on the trade date. The basis for determining cost on sale of
securities is identified cost. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
transactions in securities other than money market investments were:

Note 8 -- The Series Fund and its Portfolios are parties to annually renewable
contracts pursuant to which each Portfolio pays a charge for investment
management and administrative services. Each Portfolio pays a monthly fee for
these investment advisory services at an annual rate based on the average daily
net asset values of each Portfolio. For the Index 500 Stock Portfolio the rate
is .20%, and for the Select Bond, Money Market and Balanced Portfolios the rate
is .30%. For the other Portfolios the rate for the investment advisory fee is
graded by the asset size of the Portfolio according to the following schedule:

</TABLE>
These amounts are paid to Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, Inc. ("NMIS")
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northwestern Mutual Life, which is the manager and
investment adviser of the Fund. Northwestern Mutual Life is also a party to the
agreement. Other costs for each Portfolio are paid either by the Portfolios,
Northwestern Mutual Life, or NMIS depending upon the applicable agreement in
place.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. ("J.P. Morgan") and Templeton Investment
Counsel, Inc. ("Templeton Counsel") have been retained under an investment
sub-advisory agreement to provide investment advice and, in general, to conduct
the management investment program of the Growth and Income Stock Portfolio and
the International Equity Portfolio, respectively. Of the advisory fees received
by NMIS from the Growth and Income Stock Portfolio, .45% on the first $100
million of the Portfolio's net assets, .40% on the next $100 million, .35% on
the next $200 million and .30% on the net assets in excess of $400 million will
be paid by NMIS to J.P. Morgan. Of the advisory fees received by NMIS from the
International Equity Portfolio, .50% on the first $100 million of the
Portfolio's net assets and .40% on net assets in excess of $100 million will be
paid by NMIS to Templeton Counsel.
Note 9 -- The Series Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment
company meeting certain requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. Since it
expects to distribute all net investment income and net realized capital gains,
the Series Fund anticipates incurring no federal income taxes. A net realized
capital loss of $1,337,853 in the Select Bond Portfolio carried forward from
1994 and is available to offset future net realized capital gains. The amount
expires in 2002. A capital loss carryforward of $366,657 was utilized in the
Select Bond Portfolio during the year ended December 31, 1995. As of December
31, 1995, the federal income tax basis of investments is the same as the cost
basis in the financial statements except for the International Equity Portfolio.
The federal income tax basis of investments was $312,572,728 for the
International Equity Portfolio. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and the gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax
purposes are shown below:

NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL SERIES FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
Taxable distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains in
the International Equity Portfolio differ from book amounts earned during the
period due to differences in the timing of capital recognition and due to the
reclassification of certain gains or losses from capital to income.
For Federal income tax purposes, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
$748,075 and ($1,257,850) on open futures contracts for the Index 500 Stock and
Balanced Portfolios, respectively, is required to be treated as realized gains
and losses.
Note 10 -- The costs associated with organizing the five new Portfolios and
certain other initial period costs have been incurred by Northwestern Mutual
Life. The Series Fund is not obligated to repay these costs.
Note 11 -- Dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains
are declared each year for the Index 500 Stock, Growth Stock, Growth and Income
Stock, Aggressive Growth Stock, International Equity, Select Bond, High Yield
Bond and Balanced Portfolios and each business day for the Money Market
Portfolio. Dividend distributions are described below.
A dividend was declared on May 2, 1995, payable to shareholders of record on May
2, 1995. Dividends paid from 1994 net investment income and 1994 net capital
