LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

[PHOTO OF DENNIS J. MCDONNELL AND DON G. POWELL]

August 2, 1995

Dear Shareholder:
The first half of 1995 has been a very positive one for most investors. Both
the fixed-income and stock markets have made considerable gains for the period
ended June 30, 1995. This year has been particularly rewarding for investors
after weathering the difficult markets of 1994.
The first six months of 1995 serve as a reminder of just how quickly markets
can move, and how difficult it can be to predict the timing of those movements.
Moreover, this year reinforces the importance of maintaining a long-term per-
spective, and reaffirms the principle that it is time--not timing--that leads
to investment success.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Due in large part to the Federal Reserve Board's efforts to tighten monetary
supply in 1994, the economy has slowed significantly this year. Evidence of
this guided slowdown was reflected in gross domestic product for the second
quarter, which grew at an annual rate of 0.5 percent, substantially lower than
its first quarter rate of 2.7 percent and fourth quarter 1994 rate of 5.1 per-
cent. While other key economic data, including unemployment rates and housing
starts, have shown mixed signs during recent weeks, the general trend for the
first half of the year suggested a "soft landing" scenario. Subsequently, con-
cern over inflation has subsided, as its annualized rate has run at a modest
pace of 3.2 percent year-to-date.
Financial markets, perceiving the Fed's monetary initiatives had taken hold
without driving the economy into a recession, rallied through the first six
months of the year. With slowing growth, interest rates declined and the value
of fixed-income investments rose. For example, the yield on 30-year Treasury
securities fell from 7.88 percent at the end of December to 6.62 percent at the
end of June, while price on the "long bond" rose 18 percent. Likewise, the
yield on the Bond Buyer's Municipal Bond Index fell from 7.28 percent to 6.37
percent during the same period.
Corporate earnings remained quite strong during the first half of the year,
helping push stocks to new highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P
500 Index gained nearly 19 percent during the period. The strongest performance
has been in the science & technology sector of the market--and in big "capital-
ization" stocks. As the U.S. dollar plunged against several international cur-
rencies, companies--typically large ones--which had diversified overseas were
able to capture additional earnings, while technology stocks benefited from
booming growth in computers and telecommunications throughout the world.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Comfortable with the economy's rate of growth and level of inflation, the Fed
reversed course and lowered short-term interest rates on July 6. We believe the
Fed will move cautiously before easing again, waiting for further signs that
the economy has settled into a slow growth pattern. We anticipate that the
economy will grow at an annual rate between 2 and 3 percent in the second half
of the year and that inflation will run at an annualized rate between 3.3 and
3.5 percent. Based upon a generally slow growth and low inflation outlook, we
believe fixed-income markets will continue

(Continued on page two)

to make positive gains as interest rates fall. We look for stocks to perform
well, but perhaps not as strongly as in the first half of the year, as some
companies may find it difficult to maintain their strong earnings momentum.
During recent months, debate over tax reform has dominated the agenda in
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact of reform, which
may have caused you to wonder how it might affect your investment goals. At
this point, no one knows for sure what will happen or when it might actually
take place. As various proposals come to the forefront, there may be short-term
market fluctuations, just as we saw during the debate over the U.S. health care
system. We will continue to keep a close watch over any new developments and
evaluate the potential impact that they may have on your investments.
Once again, it is important to remember that financial markets will inevita-
bly experience highs and lows, but by maintaining a long-term investment per-
spective, it may allow you to ride the ups and downs of the markets more easily
as you pursue your investment goals.
On the following pages, you can read about your Fund's performance for the
period, as well as portfolio management's outlook for the Fund in the coming
months. We hope that you will find the information contained in the question-
and-answer section helpful.

CORPORATE NEWS
Along with your Fund's shareholder report, we are pleased to introduce a new
shareholder publication called Your Portfolio. The purpose of this publication
is to provide you with additional information about your mutual fund invest-
ment, as well as offer helpful insights regarding long-term investment strate-
gies and trends in the marketplace. The publication will be mailed twice a year
with your June and December shareholder reports. This premier issue focuses on
our various shareholder services and privileges designed to make mutual fund
investing easier for you.
We appreciate your continued confidence in your investment with Van Kampen
American Capital, and we look forward to communicating with you again regarding
the performance of your Fund.

Sincerely,

/s/ Don G. Powell /s/ Dennis J. McDonnell

PUTTING YOUR FUND'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE

As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment portfolio's performance at regular inter-
vals. A good starting point is a comparison of your investment holdings to an
applicable benchmark, such as a broad-based market index. Such a comparison
can:

. Illustrate the general market environment in which your investments are
being managed

. Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market condi-
tions

. Help you evaluate the extent to which your Fund's management team has re-
sponded to the opportunities and challenges presented to them over the pe-
riod measured

For these reasons, you may find it helpful to review the chart below, which
compares your Fund's performance to that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock
Index over time. As a broad-based, unmanaged statistical composite, this index
does not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an in-
vestor purchasing the securities it represents. Similarly, its performance
does not reflect any sales charges or other costs which would be applicable to
an actively managed portfolio, such as that of the Fund.

The above chart reflects the performance of Class A shares of the Fund. The
performance of Class A shares will differ from that of other share classes of
the Fund because of the difference in sales charges and/or expenses paid by
shareholders investing in the different share classes. The Fund's performance
assumes reinvestment of all distributions for the period ended June 30, 1995,
and includes payment of the maximum sales charge (5.75% for A shares).

While past performance is not indicative of future performance, the above
information provides a broader vantage point from which to evaluate the
discussion of the Fund's performance found in the following pages.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW

AMERICAN CAPITAL PACE FUND, INC.

The following is an interview with the management team of American Capital Pace
Fund. The team is led by Stephen L. Boyd, portfolio manager, and Alan T.
Sachtleben, executive vice president, equity investments.

Q. WHAT FACTORS HAD THE MOST IMPACT ON THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE PAST
YEAR?

A. After getting off to a rough start last summer, the Fund's performance be-
gan to turn around in the fourth quarter of 1994 and really picked up in
1995. During 1994, the Fund's performance was hurt by the impact of rising in-
terest rates. The Federal Reserve Board repeatedly raised short-term interest
rates to try to slow economic growth and, as a result, stock prices fell.

However, the first six months of this year were a different story. Interest
rates fell during most of the period, generating renewed enthusiasm among
investors. Stock prices rallied, in a broad-based recovery that was led by the
technology sector. In addition to our technology holdings, the Fund also
benefited from its "bottom-up" stock-picking philosophy, which resulted in our
owning stocks of several companies that were taken over or that were
restructured.

Q. WHAT INDUSTRIES PERFORMED WELL DURING THE PAST YEAR?

A. The technology sector continued to lead the market. Whether we look at the
performance for a three-month, six-month or one-year period, technology
stocks continue to generate strong returns. As a broadly diversified Fund, we
limit the percentage of our assets invested in any one sector, but we still
have more assets invested in technology than in any other sector. The chart be-
low shows the diversification of the portfolio as of June 30, 1995.

Some of the technology stocks owned by the Fund during the past year that
performed especially well included Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Applied Materials (a
semiconductor manufacturer) and 3Com (a telecommunications equipment
manufacturer). Other stocks in the portfolio that performed well were Dr.
Pepper/Seven Up and WestOne Bancorp, both of which were taken over during the
past year. Of course, not all of the stocks in the portfolio performed as well
as these, and past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Q. IN TERMS OF INDUSTRIES, WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO TO
BENEFIT FROM THE CHANGING INTEREST-RATE ENVIRONMENT?

A. We reduced our holdings of energy stocks, while increasing our holdings of
financial services stocks. Companies in the financial sector usually bene-
fit from a lower interest-rate environment, although by the end of June many of
these stocks had become relatively expensive. Also, it is interesting to note
that within the technology sectors some of the companies in the portfolio whose
stock performed well during the past year were aerospace firms like Boeing,
Lockheed Marietta and McDonnell Douglas. A new cycle recently began in the
aerospace industry, boosting their financial performance.

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE TWELVE-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995?

A. Class A shares of the Fund achieved a total return at net asset value of
20.62 percent/1/, including reinvestment of dividends totalling $0.1225 per
share and a capital gains distribution of $1.2975 per share. By comparison, the
Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index, a broad-based, unmanaged index that reflects
general stock market performance, achieved a total return of 25.99 percent. The
S&P 500 does not reflect any commissions or fees that would be paid by an in-
vestor purchasing the securities it represents. (Please see the chart on page
three for additional Fund performance.)

Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?

A. The performance of the stock market during the remainder of the year will
depend, in large part, on what action the Fed takes with regard to short-
term interest rates. The stock market also will be dependent on the degree to
which the slowdown in economic activity that seems to be underway impacts cor-
porate earnings. The recent cut in rates should increase economic growth and
cause the stock market to continue to perform well. However, if economic growth
accelerates rapidly to the point of causing inflation, then stocks would not
perform as well.

Since our investment style is to normally remain fully invested and broadly
diversified, we will continue to focus on stock selection and pick stocks that
should do well regardless of changes in interest and economic growth rates. We
believe merger and restructuring activity will remain strong, which may help
the performance of stocks in the portfolio.

MANAGING YOUR EQUITY INVESTMENT FOR LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE

AMERICAN CAPITAL PACE FUND, INC.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you ever wonder how a mutual fund invests your money? At Van Kampen American
Capital, we manage our equity funds using a four-step investment process
designed to produce consistently good results over shorter periods of time and
competitive long-term performance.

[_] FULLY INVESTED. The money you invest in one of our stock funds normally will
be fully invested in the market to seek to maximize your potential for long-term
returns. The importance of being fully invested is illustrated by the charts at
right. By missing fewer than 4 percent of the months during the past 68 years,
the value of $1 invested in 1926 was $11.57 at the end of 1994, compared to
$810.54 for $1 that was invested for the entire period. During the most recent
five-year period (1990-1994), the average annual total return for stocks, as
measured by the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index, a broad-based, unmanaged
index, was 8.87 percent. However, the average annual return for the S&P 500 for
the same period excluding the 20 best days for stock market performance, was
just 0.67 percent. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future
performance.

[_] BROADLY DIVERSIFIED. A portfolio that is broadly diversified can help reduce
risk and increase relative stability.

[BAR GRAPH OF MARKET RETURNS 1926-1994, FOR $1
INVESTED IN 1926 APPEARS HERE]
Stock - $810.54
T-Bills - $12.18
Stocks (minus 30 best months) - $11.57

Since our goal is consistency, we emphasize stock funds that are broadly
diversified both in terms of the number of industries and the number of stocks
within each industry in which they invest. Generally, our stock funds invest in
12 broad economic sectors, and in many individual stocks within each sector.

[_] CLEARLY DEFINED STRUCTURE. Maintaining a fund's basic characteristics over
time is an important component in delivering consistent results. It also is
important to effective asset allocation. The basic characteristics of our funds
are determined by a pre-defined profile which remains constant over time. If
you buy a blue-chip stock fund today, it won't become a small-cap stock fund
tomorrow.

[_] BLENDED INVESTMENT STYLE. Market conditions are constantly changing, which
means the stocks that perform well should be expected to change. A rigid
investment style might cause an investor to suffer when certain types of stocks
lose favor with the market. The two most common investment styles are growth,
which emphasizes companies that are projected to experience rapid growth in
earnings, and value, which focuses on companies whose stock is selling for less
than the company's true worth. At Van

Less 20 Best Days - (0.67%)

Kampen American Capital, our style is blended between growth and value on a
fund-specific basis.

We constantly evaluate the results of our approach and compare it to other
similar funds. Although past performance is no guarantee of future results, we
remain committed to our belief that this approach should help Van Kampen
American Capital shareholders achieve consistent, competitive, long-term
performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
American Capital Pace Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Invest-
ment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management in-
vestment company. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial state-
ments.

A.INVESTMENT VALUATIONS
Securities, including options, listed or traded on a national securities
exchange or NASDAQ, are valued at the last sale price. Unlisted securities
and listed securities for which the last sale price is not available are
valued at the most recent bid price. Options are valued at the last sale
price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the bid and asked
prices.

Short-term investments with a maturity of 60 days or less when purchased
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term
investments with a maturity of more than 60 days when purchased are valued
based on market quotations until the remaining days to maturity becomes
less than 61 days. From such time, until maturity, the investments are val-
ued at amortized cost.

B.OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS
General--Transactions in options and futures contracts are utilized in
strategies to manage the market risk of the Fund's investments. The pur-
chase of a futures contract or call option (or the writing of a put option)
increases the impact on net asset value of changes in the market price of
investments. There is also a risk that the market movement of such instru-
ments may not be in the direction forecasted.

Call and Put Options--The Fund may write covered call options and collater-
alized put options. Options written on futures contracts require initial
margin deposits. Options purchased are recorded as investments; options
written (sold) are accounted for as liabilities. When an option expires,
the premium (original option value) is realized as a gain if the option was
written or realized as a loss if the option was purchased. When the exer-
cise of an option results in a cash settlement, the difference between the
premium and the settlement proceeds is realized as a gain or loss. When se-
curities are acquired or delivered upon exercise of an option, the acquisi-
tion cost or sale proceeds are adjusted by the amount of the premium. When
an option is closed, the difference between the premium and the cost to
close the position is realized as a gain or loss.

Futures Contracts--Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund main-
tains, in a segregated account with its custodian, securities with a value
equal to its obligation under the futures contracts. A portion of these
funds are held as collateral in an account in the name of the broker, the
Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position. During the period the
futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract ("various
margin") are recognized by marking the contracts to market on a daily ba-
sis. As unrealized gains or losses are incurred, variation margin payments
are received from or made to the broker. Upon the closing or cash settle-
ment of a contract, gains or losses are realized. The cost of securities
acquired through delivery under a contract is adjusted by the unrealized
gain or loss on the contract.

C.REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
A repurchase agreement is a short-term investment in which the Fund ac-
quires ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the
security at a future time and specified price. The Fund may invest indepen-
dently in repurchase agreements, or transfer uninvested cash balances into
a pooled cash account along with other investment companies advised by Van
Kampen American Capital Asset Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the daily
aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agree-
ments are collateralized by the underlying debt security. The Fund will
make payment for such securities only upon physical delivery or evidence of
book entry transfer to the account of the custodian bank. The seller is re-
quired to maintain the value of the underlying security at not less than
the repurchase proceeds due the Fund.

D.FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
No provision for federal income taxes is required because the Fund has
elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal
Revenue Code and intends to maintain this qualification by annually dis-
tributing all of its taxable net investment income and taxable net realized
gains on investments to its shareholders.

E.INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains
and losses on investments are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is ac-
crued daily.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

F.DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record
date. The Fund distributes tax basis earnings in accordance with the mini-
mum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, which may dif-
fer from generally accepted accounting principles. Such dividends or
distributions may exceed financial statement earnings.

NOTE 2-MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Adviser serves as investment manager of the Fund. Management fees are paid
monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate of
.50% of the first $1 billion, .45% of the next $1 billion, .40% of the next $1
billion, and .35% of the amount in excess of $3 billion.

Accounting services include the salaries and overhead expenses of the Fund's
Treasurer and the personnel operating under his direction. Charges are allo-
cated among investment companies advised by the Adviser. For the period, these
charges included $38,348 as the Fund's share of the employee costs attributable
to the Fund's accounting officers. A portion of the accounting services expense
was paid to the Adviser in reimbursement of personnel, facilities and equipment
costs attributable to the provision of accounting services to the Fund. The
services provided by the Adviser are at cost.

ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the
Fund's shareholder service agent. These services are provided at cost plus a
profit. For the period, the fees for such services were $6,091,417.

The Fund has been advised that Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc.
(the "Distributor") and Advantage Capital Corporation (the "Retail Dealer"),
both affiliates of the Adviser, received $230,879 and $114,516, respectively,
as their portion of the commissions charged on sales of Fund shares during the
period.

During the period, the Fund paid brokerage commissions of $195,347 to companies
which are deemed affiliates of the Adviser's parent because it owns more than
5% of the companies' outstanding voting securities.

Under the Distribution Plans, each class of shares pays up to .25% per annum of
its average net assets to reimburse the Distributor for expenses and service
fees incurred. Class B and Class C shares pay an additional fee of up to .75%
per annum of their average net assets to reimburse the Distributor for its
distribution expenses. Actual distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor
for Class B and Class C shares may exceed the amounts reimbursed to the
Distributor by the Fund. At the end of the period, the unreimbursed expenses
incurred by the Distributor under the Class B and Class C plans aggregated
approximately $1.7 million and $19,000, respectively, and may be carried
forward and reimbursed through either the collection of the contingent deferred
sales charges from share repurchases or, subject to the annual renewal of the
plans, future Fund reimbursements of distribution fees.

Legal fees were for services rendered by O'Melveny & Myers, counsel for the
Fund. Lawrence J. Sheehan, of counsel to that firm, is a director of the Fund.

Certain officers and directors of the Fund are officers and directors of the
Adviser, the Distributor, the Retail Dealer, and the shareholder service agent.

At the end of the period, the Fund owned approximately 50% of the American Cap-
ital Small Capitalization Fund, Inc. ("Small Cap"), an investment company man-
aged by the Adviser. Small Cap comprised approximately 2% of the Fund's total
net assets. Small Cap's portfolio consisted of the following securities:

NOTE 3-INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of invest-
ments, excluding short-term investments, were $5,029,949,410 and
$5,021,042,319.

For federal income tax purposes, the identified cost of investments owned at
the end of the period was $2,066,802,866, net unrealized appreciation of in-
vestments aggregated $265,347,325, gross unrealized appreciation of investments
aggregated $276,013,332 and gross unrealized depreciation of investments aggre-
gated $10,666,007.

NOTE 4-DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Fund directors who are not affiliated with the Adviser are compensated by the
Fund at the annual rate of $4,150 plus a fee of $105 per day for Board and Com-
mittee meetings attended. The Chairman receives additional fees from the Fund
at the annual rate of $1,560. During the period, such fees aggregated $49,015.

The directors may participate in a voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan (the
"Plan"). The Plan is not funded and obligations under the Plan will be paid
solely out of the Fund's general accounts. The Fund will not reserve or set
aside funds for the payment of its obligations under the Plan by any form of
trust or escrow. Each director covered under the Plan elects to be credited
with an earnings component or amounts deferred equal to the income earned by
the Fund on its short-term investments or equal to the total return of the
Fund.

NOTE 5-CAPITAL
The Fund offers three classes of shares at their respective net asset values
per share, plus a sales charge which is imposed either at the time of purchase
(the Class A shares) or at the time of redemption on a contingent deferred ba-
sis (the Class B shares and Class C shares). All classes of shares have the
same rights, except that Class B shares and Class C shares bear the cost of
distribution fees and certain other class specific expenses. Realized and
unrealized gains or losses, investment income, and expenses (other than class
specific expenses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
relative proportion of net assets of each class. Class B shares and Class C
shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years and ten years after
purchase, respectively, subject to certain conditions.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AMERICAN CAPITAL PACE FUND, INC.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all mate-
rial respects, the financial position of American Capital Pace Fund, Inc. at
June 30, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented, in confor-
mity 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 au-
diting standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of mate-
rial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence sup-
porting 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 June 30, 1995 by corre-
spondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.
