PLAN INVESTMENT FUND, INC.
PRESIDENT'S LETTER
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 9, 1996
Fellow Investors:
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to submit the 1996 Semi-
Annual Report for Plan Investment Fund, Inc. The fund has experienced
good growth in the first six months of the year, reaching a record high
asset level of over $1 billion in April. In addition, average assets have
increased 17% this year to just under $860 million.
Market psychology has changed dramatically in the past six months. The
last time the Federal Reserve changed the Fed funds rate was last January,
when they lowered the rate 25 basis points. At that time conventional
wisdom held that 1996 would see a continuation of the 1995 bond market
rally. Instead we have seen the bond market fall on fears of renewed
inflation and the higher interest rates that are a byproduct of traditional
anti-inflationary monetary policies.
Most bond portfolios produced negative total returns for the first half of
1996. The very short maturity policies of the Plan Investment Fund
portfolios protected them from the havoc of the 1996 bond market. The
Government/REPO Portfolio, with a one business day maturity policy that
quickly reflects changing interest rates, produced the highest return of the
three portfolios during the past six months. The Money Market Portfolio
produced competitive returns versus other money market funds and the
Short-Term Portfolio, which has the longest average maturity policy,
continued its unbroken record of positive quarterly returns.
Plan Investment Fund has fared well in a difficult market environment. The
portfolios continue to be dependable, high quality investment vehicles
operated in a cost effective manner.
Sincerely,
/S/ PHIL
----
Philip A. Goss
President and
Chief Executive Officer

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
A. Plan Investment Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end regulated investment
company. The Fund consists of three separate portfolios, the Government/REPO
Portfolio, the Money Market Portfolio and the Short-Term Portfolio (the
"Portfolio(s)"). The Fund is authorized to issue five billion Participation
Certificates ("PCs"), par value $.001 per PC. The Fund presently offers three
classes of PCs as follows: the Government/REPO Portfolio - one billion PCs
authorized, the Money Market Portfolio - two billion PCs authorized and the
Short-Term Portfolio - one billion PCs authorized.
B. Significant accounting policies relating to the Fund are as follows:
Security Valuation - Government/REPO Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio:
Securities are valued under the amortized cost method, which approximates
current market value. Under this method, securities are valued at cost when
purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any discount
or premium is recorded until maturity or sale of the security.
Security Valuation - Short-Term Portfolio: Securities for which market
quotations are readily available (other than debt securities with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at the most recent quoted bid price
provided by investment dealers. Debt securities with remaining maturities of
60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis (unless the Board
determines that such basis does not represent fair value at that time).
Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold
are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis.
Dividends to Participation Certificate Holders - Dividends of net investment
income of the Portfolios are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends
payable are recorded on the dividend record date. The Short-Term Portfolio
will, subject to the use of offsetting capital loss carry-forwards, distribute
net realized short- and long-term capital gains, if any, once each year.
Federal Income Taxes - No provision is made for federal taxes as it is each
Portfolio's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company
and to make the requisite distributions to Participation Certificate Holders
which will be sufficient to relieve each Portfolio from all, or substantially
all, federal income and excise taxes. At June 30, 1996 the Short-Term
Portfolio had capital loss carry-forwards amounting to $871,994 that expire in
2002. These loss carry-forwards are available to offset possible future
capital gains of the Short-Term Portfolio.
Repurchase Agreements - Each Portfolio may agree to purchase money market
instruments from financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers
subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and
price ("repurchase agreements"). Collateral for the repurchase agreement is
required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to
the agreement at not less than the repurchase price. The seller under a
repurchase agreement is required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the
securities subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price.
The agreement is conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the
Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a separate account by the Fund's
custodian or an authorized securities depository.
Estimated Maturities - The maturity of collateralized mortgage obligations and
other asset backed securities may vary due to prepayments of principal. The
maturity dates for these securities are estimates based on historic prepayment
factors.
Variable Rate Obligations - For variable rate obligations, the interest rate
presented is as of June 30, 1996 and the maturity shown is the date of the next
interest readjustment.
Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires the use
of management estimates.

C. The Fund has entered into agreements for advisory, administrative, service
agent, custodian and transfer agent services as follows:
Government/REPO Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio - PNC Institutional
Management Corporation ("PIMC"), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of PNC
Bank, National Association ("PNC Bank"), serves as the Portfolios' investment
advisor and service agent. As compensation for its services the Portfolios pay
PIMC a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the following rate: .20% of
the first $250 million, .15% of the next $250 million, .12% of the next $250
million, .10% of the next $250 million, and .08% of amounts in excess of
$1 billion.
Short-Term Portfolio - Neuberger & Berman ("N&B"), a New York limited
partnership, serves as the Portfolio's investment advisor. As compensation for
its services, the Portfolio pays N&B a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at
the following rate: .30% of the first $50 million, .20% of the next $50
million, .15% of the next $150 million, and .10% of amounts in excess of $250
million.
Health Plans Capital Services Corp. ("CSC") serves as the Fund's administrator
and acts generally in a supervisory capacity with respect to the Fund's overall
operations and relations with holders of PCs. As compensation for its services
each Portfolio pays CSC a fee, computed daily and payable monthly at an annual
rate not to exceed .05% of the average daily net assets of each of the Fund's
Portfolios.
PNC Bank acts as custodian of the Fund's assets and PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), an
affiliate of PNC Bank, acts as the Fund's transfer agent and dividend
disbursing agent. In addition, PIMC serves as the Short-Term Portfolio service
agent. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC receive fees from the Fund for serving in these
capacities.
PIMC and N&B have agreed contractually to reduce their advisory fees otherwise
payable to them in 1996 by the Money Market Portfolio and the Short-Term
Portfolio, respectively, to the extent necessary to reduce the ordinary
operating expenses of both Portfolios individually so that they do not exceed
0.30 of one percent (0.30%) of each Portfolio's average net assets for the
year. Under these contractual agreements, N&B waived $48,056 of such fees for
the period ended June 30, 1996. PIMC voluntarily waived $14,505 of service
agent fees and CSC voluntarily waived $3,262 of administrator fees payable by
the Short-Term Portfolio during this period. In addition, PIMC voluntarily
waived $28,077 and $83,794 of advisory fees and CSC voluntarily waived $9,359
and $6,782 of administrator fees payable by the Money Market Portfolio
and Government/REPO Portfolio, respectively, during this period.
