LETTER TO POLICYHOLDERS
January 20, 2000
Dear Policyholder,
As we enter a new century--and millennium--it seems appropriate to take a
look back at the progress that's been made over the last 100 years and how the
world of investing has changed over the generations. Although rapid advances in
technology and science have dramatically altered the world that we live in
today, one of the greatest shifts we've seen is the increasing importance of
investing for many Americans.
Once considered primarily for the wealthy, investing in the stock market is
now available to most people. In fact, almost 79 million individuals--who
represent almost half of all U.S. households--own stocks either directly or
through mutual funds. This is even more impressive when considering that just 16
years earlier, only 19 percent of households owned stocks. Another important
shift has been the need for retirement planning beyond a pension plan or Social
Security. The Investment Company Institute, the leading mutual fund industry
association, reports that 77 percent of all mutual fund shareholders earmarked
retirement as their primary financial goal in 1998.
Through all the changes in the investment environment over the past century,
the general principles that have made generations of investors successful remain
the same. Some that have stood the test of time include:
- INVESTING FOR THE LONG-TERM
- BASING INVESTMENT DECISIONS ON SOUND RESEARCH
- BUILDING A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO
- BELIEVING IN THE VALUE OF PROFESSIONAL INVESTMENT ADVICE
While no one can predict the future, at Van Kampen we believe that these
ideas will remain important tenets for investors well into this century. As we
continue to focus on these principles, we hope that our decades of investment
experience can help bring you closer to your financial goals as we welcome the
new millennium.
Sincerely,

ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT
ECONOMIC GROWTH
The nation's brisk rate of economic growth continued throughout 1999,
bringing the United States to the verge of its longest economic expansion on
record. High levels of consumer spending, a host of new jobs, and increasing
productivity kept the economy strong. Gross domestic product, the primary
measure of economic growth, increased 4.2 percent for the year, including an
impressive annualized rate of 5.7 percent for the third quarter and 5.8 percent
in the fourth quarter.
EMPLOYMENT
The job market remained vibrant throughout the year, with more than 2.7
million U.S. jobs created in 1999. In addition, unemployment dropped to 4.1
percent in October--its lowest rate in three decades. With jobs plentiful and
wages on the rise, most Americans were optimistic about the future. At the end
of the year the consumer confidence index hit its highest level since 1968.
Although wage pressures caused some concerns about the potential erosion of
corporate profits, productivity gains helped keep those concerns muted through
the end of the year.
INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES
Although the Consumer Price Index continued to reflect historically low
inflation--rising only 2.7 percent during 1999--concerns about future increases
in inflation were prevalent throughout the reporting period. The Federal Reserve
Board remained active in guarding against inflation and trying to temper
economic growth. The Fed reversed its three interest-rate cuts from the fall of
1998 by raising rates in June, August, and November 1999.

PERFORMANCE RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
VAN KAMPEN LIFE INVESTMENT TRUST
COMSTOCK PORTFOLIO
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
TOTAL RETURNS
Life-of-Portfolio cumulative total return based on NAV(1)... (5.53%)
Commencement date........................................... 04/30/99
</TABLE>
(1)Total return based on net asset value (NAV) assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period indicated, reinvestment of all distributions for the
period, and sale of all shares at the end of the period, all at NAV.
Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying portfolio or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
An investment should be made with an understanding of the risks that an
investment in equity securities entails. These include the risk that the
financial condition of the issuers of the securities in the portfolio, or the
condition of the stock market in general, may worsen and therefore, the value of
Portfolio shares may decline. In addition, the Portfolio is subject to other
risks. These risks include, but are not limited to: market risk--the possibility
that the market values of securities owned by the Portfolio will decline;
derivative investment risk--a derivative investment is one whose value depends
on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index
and involves risks different from investment in the underlying security; and
manager risk--management may not be successful in selecting the best performing
securities and the Portfolio's performance may lag behind that of similar
portfolios. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment
return and net asset value will fluctuate with market conditions. Portfolio
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
COMSTOCK PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Barra Value Index*
over time. These indexes are broad-based, statistical composites that do not
include any commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the
securities they represent. Such costs would lower the performance of the
indices. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

The above chart reflects the performance of the Portfolio. The Portfolio's
performance assumes reinvestment of all distributions and is shown at net asset
value.
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 Portfolio's performance found in the following pages.
* Since Lipper Analytical Services has reclassified how it categorizes its
indices, we will no longer be using Lipper comparisons because we believe the
new system is less applicable. As a result, the Lipper Growth and Income Fund
Index will not appear in this or future reports. In its place, we have included
the Standard & Poor's Barra Value Index, a second index that we believe
represents an additional point of comparison for the Portfolio. The Standard &
Poor's Barra Value Index contains companies with lower price-to-book ratios.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
COMSTOCK PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with representatives of the adviser of the Van
Kampen Life Investment Trust--Comstock Portfolio. The representatives include B.
Robert Baker, Jr., senior portfolio manager, Kevin Holt and Jason Leder,
portfolio managers, and Stephen L. Boyd, chief investment officer for equity
investments. The following discussion reflects their views on the Portfolio's
performance since its inception on April 30, 1999, through December 31, 1999.
Q WHAT MARKET FACTORS AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A In early May the Dow Jones Industrial Average--the country's most widely
known stock market index--first crossed the 11,000 milestone. Major
fluctuations followed, however, as the index nearly fell back to 10,000 in
a difficult third quarter before setting a new record high in December.
For value-oriented funds such as the Comstock Portfolio, most of the
period--with the exception of its first few weeks--was challenging because
investors continued to prefer growth stocks to value. This preference is
reflected in the differences between the S&P Barra Growth and the S&P Barra
Value indices during the reporting period: 19.97 percent versus 0.90 percent,
during the period from April 30 to December 31, 1999.
Q GIVEN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU USE TO MANAGE THE
PORTFOLIO?
A We consistently seek to invest in undervalued stocks that we believe have
the potential for future price appreciation. To do this, we look for
companies that we believe are temporarily out of favor in the marketplace,
meaning their stock prices are lower than we believe they should be. Then, we
apply basic fundamental analysis to determine whether, in our opinion, the
company is sound and has the potential to reach its fair value. When we find a
company that we think is undervalued and fundamentally sound, we consider adding
it to the portfolio.
Because of overall market conditions, we generally found it challenging to
identify undervalued stocks with an improving outlook. Value stocks--and the
Portfolio--underperformed during most of the period, and many of the securities
we bought at the Portfolio's inception at low valuations were still undervalued
later in the year.
Q WHAT AREAS OF THE MARKET WAS THE PORTFOLIO MOST INVESTED IN, AND HOW DID
THOSE AREAS AFFECT PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A The Portfolio continued to have significant weightings in the financial
service and electric utility sectors. Financial and utility stocks have
tended to perform poorly when interest rates are rising, and this period
was no exception. The Portfolio's large holdings in these areas
contributed to weak Portfolio performance during the reporting period. This
weakness, however, was partially balanced by the Portfolio's modest weighting in
technology, the market's strongest area during the period.
Electric utility stocks were especially hard hit in 1999. Nevertheless, we
believe that the valuations for these companies are now attractive enough that
legitimate concerns about the industry have already been amply factored into the
stock prices. We're maintaining our position in utilities, in the belief that
better days may lie ahead.
Q WHICH STOCKS HELPED THE PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE?
A The largest contributor to the Portfolio's return was Check Point
Software, which develops secure computer networking environments for
businesses. This stock appreciated swiftly and steadily throughout the
reporting period. We have been gradually trimming our position because we
think the stock has become fairly valued. Other stocks that helped the
Portfolio's performance were Cognex (provider of machine-aided vision), BMC
Software (business software developer), and Comverse Technologies (maker of
telecommunications systems). Cognex remained in the Portfolio as of the end of
the reporting period, while we sold our holdings in BMC and Comverse.

<PAGE> 7
The Portfolio's investments in oil-drilling companies such as ENSCO and
Rowan were successful ones during the period. So were those in U.S. Steel and
Corus Group, steel companies that outperformed during the market's brief
second-quarter preference shift from growth to value.
Remember that not all stocks in the Portfolio performed favorably, and there
is no guarantee that any of these stocks will perform well in the future.
Q WHICH STOCKS HURT THE PORTFOLIO?
A The Portfolio was most hurt by its investment in two stocks that performed
extremely poorly during the reporting period: Waste Management and Philip
Morris. Waste Management's stock dropped precipitously during the
reporting period as questions surfaced about the company's management and
accounting practices. In response to these factors, we sold most of our stake in
the business.
Philip Morris, meanwhile, continued to face escalating legal difficulties
associated with numerous tobacco-industry lawsuits. Despite its legal troubles
and poor recent performance, however, we believe the company's high
dividend-yield and inexpensive valuation make this an attractive investment.
As mentioned earlier, the Portfolio's significant weighting in utilities and
financial companies also hurt performance. Some of the poorly performing
financial companies during the reporting period included Washington Mutual,
AMBAC, and BankAmerica, while weak-performing utilities included Texas
Utilities, New Century Energies, DTE Energy, and Reliant Energy.
Q HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM OVERALL DURING 1999?
A Because of several underperforming securities and a significant weighting
in utilities and financial companies, the Portfolio had a difficult
period, returning -5.53 percent from its inception on April 30, 1999, to
December 31, 1999. By comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 11.06
percent, and the Standard & Poor's Barra Value Index returned 0.90 percent. The
S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index that reflects the general
performance of the stock market, and the S&P Barra Value Index is a broad-based
unmanaged index that reflects the general performance of value stocks.
Generally, the companies in the value index exhibit characteristics such as
lower price-to-earnings ratios, higher dividend yields, and lower historical and
predicted earnings growth.
Keep in mind that these indices are statistical composites that do not
include any commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the
securities they represent. Such costs would lower the performance of the
indices. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. Please refer to the
footnotes and chart on page 3 for additional Portfolio performance results. Past
performance doesn't guarantee future results.
Q WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD FOR THE PORTFOLIO IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A Stock valuations are at unprecedented levels. As the valuations of growth
stocks continue to increase relative to those of value stocks, we are
hopeful that an eventual return to historical norms may occur and that
value may begin to outperform growth. When this might happen in this
growth-driven market is anyone's guess. In the meantime, we will continue to
focus on our "bottom up" stock-selection process, seeking to identify
undervalued stocks that meet our investment criteria.

NAV(1).................................................... 40.58%
Commencement date........................................... 07/03/95
</TABLE>
(1)Total return based on net asset value (NAV) assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period indicated, reinvestment of all distributions for the
period, and sale of all shares at the end of the period, all at NAV.
Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying portfolio or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. An investment
should be made with an understanding of the risks that an investment in equity
securities entails. These include the risk that the financial condition of the
issuers of the securities in the portfolio, or the condition of the stock market
in general, may worsen and therefore, the value of Portfolio shares may decline.
In addition, the Portfolio is subject to other risks. These risks include, but
are not limited to: market risk--the possibility that the market values of
securities owned by the Portfolio will decline; derivative investment risk--a
derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the
value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index and involves risks
different from investment in the underlying security; emerging growth companies
investment risk--the stocks of emerging growth companies can be subject to more
abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established
companies or the stock market in general; and manager risk--management may not
be successful in selecting the best performing securities and the Portfolio's
performance may lag behind that of similar portfolios. Past performance does not
guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset value will fluctuate
with market conditions. Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
EMERGING GROWTH PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Russell 2000 Index and the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index* over time. These
indices are broad-based, statistical composites that do not include any
commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities
they represent. Such costs would lower the performance of these indices. An
investment cannot be made directly in an index.

The above chart reflects the performance of the Portfolio. The Portfolio's
performance assumes reinvestment of all distributions and is shown at net asset
value.
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 Portfolio's performance found in the following pages.
* The Russell 2000 Index reflects the general performance of small-cap stocks
and was initially selected as a benchmark for the Portfolio's performance.
Based upon the Portfolio's asset composition, we believe the Standard & Poor's
MidCap 400 Index provides a more accurate broad-based benchmark for the Fund.
Therefore, the Russell 2000 Index will not be shown in future reports.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
EMERGING GROWTH PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with the representatives of the adviser of the Van
Kampen Life Investment Trust--Emerging Growth Portfolio. The representatives
include Gary Lewis, senior portfolio manager; Dudley Brickhouse, Janet Luby, and
David Walker, portfolio managers; and Stephen L. Boyd, chief investment officer
for equity investments.
Q WHAT MARKET FACTORS AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A The Dow Jones Industrial Average--perhaps the country's most widely
recognized stock market index--began the reporting period near 9200,
crossing several key milestones in the first half of the year: 10,000 in
March and 11,000 in May. Major fluctuations followed, however, as the
index nearly fell again to around 10,000 in the difficult third quarter before
once again lifting to a record high late in December. While the Dow performed
well overall during 1999, it was actually the technology-heavy NASDAQ stock
index that stole the show, returning an impressive 86 percent for the year.
However, these high returns helped to mask that not all stocks shared in the
good fortune. In fact, more stocks lost than gained value in 1999--the indices
were fueled by the outstanding performance of a relatively small group of
investments.
Q IN LIGHT OF THIS ENVIRONMENT, HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE PORTFOLIO?
A In all kinds of market conditions, we look for stocks with rising earnings
expectations and rising valuations, and we invested in those companies we
believed had the potential to outperform earnings expectations. Conversely
we sell stocks if their underlying companies' earnings estimates or valuations
are declining. We consistently manage the Portfolio from the "bottom up,"
meaning that we evaluate each company individually before deciding to invest.
The Portfolio's investment approach leads us to the areas of the market
where we believe we can find the best stocks at any given time. As a result,
during all of 1999 the Portfolio was invested heavily in companies taking
advantage of burgeoning technologies--such as the Internet and wireless
communications. This weighting significantly benefited the Portfolio's
performance, as stocks in these areas were overwhelmingly the best performers in
the stock market during the year.
Q WHAT INVESTMENTS MOST CONTRIBUTED TO THE PORTFOLIO'S RETURN?
A In the area of wireless communications, the Portfolio was most helped by
our investment in Qualcomm, the Portfolio's largest holding as of December
31, 1999. Qualcomm has pioneered CDMA (code division multiple access)
technology, which is rapidly becoming a standard used in wireless phones
worldwide.
The growth of the Internet generated a number of successful investment
opportunities for the Portfolio. Our second-largest holding, JDS Uniphase, is
helping to meet the growing demand for Internet infrastructure while VeriSign
also helped the Portfolio's results--the company is working to ensure the
security of Internet-based commercial transactions. In the Internet services
area, the Portfolio's performance was enhanced by two of the largest and best-
known companies in the field: Yahoo! and America Online. We also found success
investing in businesses that are developing systems to store the enormous
amounts of data generated in an on-line world. EMC and Veritas are both leaders
in this area, and in 1999 we saw especially good results stemming from the
Portfolio's investments in these companies.
Q DID ANY STOCKS HURT PERFORMANCE?
A The biggest drag on the Portfolio during 1999 was Compuware, which
develops business software solutions. The stock fell dramatically in
response to concerns that corporate spending on computer hardware,
software, and services would slow down in the face of companies' need to
focus on critical Y2K projects.
15
<PAGE> 17
Other disappointing stocks for the Portfolio included
- CSG Systems--Investors worried about declining future demand for the
company's automated customer-service and billing systems.
- American Power Conversion--This company saw its stock depreciate because
of surplus inventory and fears of declining demand for its
electrical-equipment products.
- USWeb--Investors reacted poorly to the company's numerous corporate
acquisitions. We completely eliminated a position in this stock late in
1999 when the market penalized the company for potentially overpaying to
merge with another company.
Q HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM IN 1999?
A Because of successful stock selection--especially in the technology and
wireless communications areas--the Portfolio performed extremely well,
achieving a 12-month total return of 104.38 percent(1) as of December 31,
1999. By comparison the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index returned 14.70
percent. There is no guarantee that the circumstances leading to this
performance will continue to occur in the future.
The Portfolio invests primarily in companies whose market capitalizations
fall within the range of the companies composing the Standard & Poor's MidCap
400 Index. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is a broad-based index that reflects the
general performance of 400 domestic mid-cap stocks. This index is a statistical
composite that doesn't include any commissions or fees that would be paid by an
investor purchasing the securities it represents. Such costs would lower the
performance of the index. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.
Please refer to the chart and footnotes on page 13 for additional Portfolio
performance results.
Q WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE AHEAD FOR THE PORTFOLIO?
A Barring any unforeseen events, we envision continued worldwide economic
health, low inflation, and strong earnings growth. Of course, our outlook
may in part depend on whether the Federal Reserve again increases interest
rates soon. Although recent rate increases have had only a moderately negative
effect on stock prices, an additional rate hike could have a more substantial
impact. We're also keeping our eye on stock valuations, because the higher they
get, the greater the negative impact on the Portfolio if investors were to lose
their enthusiasm for growth stocks. Regardless of the short-term market
environment, we believe that our best long-term course of action is to stick
with the Portfolio's investment discipline by focusing on companies with rising
earnings expectations and rising valuations.

TOTAL RETURNS
One-year total return based on NAV(1)....................... 25.85%
Five-year average annual total return based on NAV(1)....... 28.57%
Ten-year average annual total return based on NAV(1)........ 17.58%
Life-of-Portfolio average annual total return based on
NAV(1).................................................... 14.47%
Commencement date........................................... 04/07/86
</TABLE>
(1)Total return based on net asset value (NAV) assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period indicated, reinvestment of all distributions for the
period, and sale of all shares at the end of the period, all at NAV.
Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying portfolio or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. An investment
should be made with an understanding of the risks that an investment in equity
securities entails. These include the risk that the financial condition of the
issuers of the securities in the portfolio, or the condition of the stock market
in general, may worsen and therefore, the value of Portfolio shares may decline.
In addition, the Portfolio is subject to other risks. These risks include, but
are not limited to: market risk--the possibility that the market values of
securities owned by the Portfolio will decline; derivative investment risk--a
derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the
value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index and involves risks
different from investment in the underlying security; and manager risk--
management may not be successful in selecting the best performing securities and
the Portfolio's performance may lag behind that of similar portfolios. Past
performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset
value will fluctuate with market conditions. Portfolio shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
ENTERPRISE PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the general market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index over time. This index is a broad-based, statistical
composite that does not include any commissions or fees that would be paid by an
investor purchasing the securities it represents. Such costs would lower the
performance of the index. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

managers; and Stephen L. Boyd, chief investment officer for equity investments.
Q WHAT MARKET FACTORS AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A The Dow Jones Industrial Average--perhaps the country's most widely
recognized stock market index--began the reporting period near 9200 and crossed
several key milestones in the first half of the year: 10,000 in March and 11,000
in May. Major fluctuations followed, however, as the index nearly dropped to
10,000 in the difficult third quarter before once again lifting to a record high
at year-end. Although many growth stocks--particularly in the technology area--
continued their strong results during most of the year, it was, in fact, a
"narrow" stock market propelled by the stellar performance of only a few stocks.
Along those lines, more stocks lost than gained ground during the year.
Q GIVEN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU USE TO MANAGE THE
PORTFOLIO?
A As we have stressed in prior reports, the Portfolio's investment
discipline leads us to purchase stocks that meet our criteria of positive future
fundamentals and attractive current valuations. By our definition, a company
with positive future fundamentals possesses at least one of the following
traits: consistent earnings growth; accelerating earnings growth; better-than-
expected fundamentals; or an underlying change in a company, industry, or
regulatory environment. We evaluate stocks from the "bottom up"--in other words,
on a company-by-company basis.
Because of our bottom-up approach to stock selection, market conditions
didn't have a direct impact on the Portfolio's results. The Portfolio's
performance during the reporting period was lifted by the outstanding results of
some of its top holdings, especially in technology. Nevertheless, some of our
long-time investments in more traditional areas--such as health care and grocery
stores--were big disappointments that hurt performance relative to the
Portfolio's peers during the reporting period.
Q WHAT STOCKS HELPED THE PORTFOLIO'S RETURN DURING 1999?
A Technology stocks continued to be the big winners, and most of the
Portfolio's best contributors to performance were in this area.
As of December 31, 1999, the Portfolio's largest holding was Cisco
Systems, a company whose products have become the backbone of the Internet.
Cisco, which makes the devices that enable computers on the Internet to
communicate with each other, represented 4.6 percent of the Portfolio's long-
term investment at year's end. The stock was an impressive performer during the
year and was the strongest contributor to the Fund's total return.
The Portfolio also benefited greatly from the performance of two large
technology companies that are leaders in their fields: Internet service provider
America Online and data-storage powerhouse EMC. Both companies are building on
their dominant role in their respective areas.
Broadcast and media stocks also helped results in 1999. The Portfolio's
holdings in CBS, Clear Channel Communications, and Chancellor Media provided
positive contributions. But the Portfolio's best performer in this area was
Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language television network. The company
has been able to capitalize on the increasing economic importance of Spanish
speakers in the United States.
Keep in mind that not all securities in the Portfolio performed as well,
nor is there any guarantee they will continue to do so in the future.

<PAGE> 27
Q WHAT STOCKS HURT THE PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE?
A Two of the Portfolio's longstanding holdings in the grocery industry,
Safeway and Kroger, were among the weakest performers. Investors sold these and
other grocery-store companies primarily because of concerns about Internet's
potential impact on the industry and slowing sales growth.
Waste Management and Philip Morris, two of the Portfolio's large holdings
at the beginning of 1999, saw their stock prices plummet during the year. Waste
Management's troubles began when word leaked that the company's management used
questionable accounting methods. We sold the Portfolio's position in the
company, but not in time to avoid a negative effect on the Portfolio's return.
Philip Morris, meanwhile, continued to languish as a result of ongoing
litigation involving the tobacco industry. This poor performance had a
significant impact on the Portfolio because Philip Morris was the largest
holding at the beginning of the reporting period. Fortunately, we decided to
sell this stock relatively early in the year and thus avoided the brunt of the
stock's continued weakness.
Not all technology stocks outperformed in 1999. Two of the Portfolio's
stocks in this area--Compuware and Network Associates--were among its worst
performers during the year. Compuware suffered from concerns about their
accounting practices as well as uncertainty about their growth prospects, while
Network Associates failed to meet earnings expectations because of problems
concerning the company's aggressive expansion through corporate acquisitions.
Q HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM?
A The strong overall performance of most technology stocks helped fuel the
Portfolio's results during the reporting period. As a result, the Portfolio
achieved a 12-month total return of 25.85 percent(1) as of December 31, 1999. By
comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 21.04 percent. The S&P 500
is a broad-based, unmanaged index that reflects the general performance of the
stock market. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
This index is a statistical composite that doesn't include any commissions
or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities it
represents. Such costs would lower the performance of the index. An investment
cannot be made directly in an index. Please refer to the footnotes and chart on
page 23 for additional Portfolio performance results.
Q WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD FOR THE PORTFOLIO?
A Barring any unforeseen events, we envision continued worldwide economic
health, slightly rising but contained inflation, and moderate earnings growth.
Of course, our outlook will in part depend on whether the Federal Reserve again
increases interest rates. Although recent rate increases have had only a
moderate effect on stock prices, further increases could have a more significant
impact. The overall stock market and growth stock valuations have historically
been hurt by rising interest rates. Regardless of the short-term market
environment, we believe that our best long-term course of action is to stick
with the Portfolio's investment discipline by focusing on companies that have
positive earnings outlooks combined with attractive valuations.

Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying portfolio or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. An investment
should be made with an understanding of the risks that an investment in equity
securities entails. These include the risk that the financial condition of the
issuers of the securities in the portfolio, or the condition of the stock market
in general, may worsen and therefore, the value of Portfolio shares may decline.
In addition, the Portfolio is subject to other risks. These risks include, but
are not limited to: market risk--the possibility that the market values of
securities owned by the Portfolio will decline; derivative investment risk--a
derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the
value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index and involves risks
different from investment in the underlying security; and manager risk--
management may not be successful in selecting the best performing securities and
the Portfolio's performance may lag behind that of similar portfolios. Past
performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset
value will fluctuate with market conditions. Portfolio shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Russell 1000 Index* over time. These indexes
are broad-based, statistical composites that do not include any commissions or
fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities they represent.
Such costs would lower the performance of the indices. An investment cannot be
made directly in an index.

performance assumes reinvestment of all distributions and is shown at net asset
value.
While past performance is not indicative of future performance, the above

discussion of the Portfolio's performance found in the following pages.
*Since Lipper Analytical Services has reclassified how it categorizes its
indices, we will no longer be using Lipper comparisons because we believe the
new system is less applicable. As a result, the Lipper Growth and Income Fund
Index will not appear in this or future reports. In its place, we have included
the Russell 1000 Index, a second index that we believe represents an additional
point of comparison for the Portfolio. The Russell 1000 Index measures the
performance of 1,000 large-capitalization companies.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with representatives of the adviser of the Van
Kampen Life Investment Trust--Growth and Income Portfolio. The representatives
are led by James A. Gilligan, senior portfolio manager, and include Scott A.
Carroll and James O. Roeder, portfolio managers, and Stephen L. Boyd, chief
investment officer for equity investments.
Q HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE PORTFOLIO
OPERATED?
A The stock market celebrated a historic year, with the Dow Jones Industrial
Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index up 27.2 percent and 21.0
percent, respectively. This performance capped an equally spectacular
decade for the market, with 10-year cumulative returns of 439.3 percent and
430.8 percent, respectively, for the two indices. After a somewhat slow start,
the equity market--led by growth and particularly technology stocks--began its
ascent in earnest at the end of the first quarter. In April, value stocks
briefly took center stage, but investors soon renewed their interest in growth.
The end result was a significant disparity between the average return of growth
and value stocks for the 12-month reporting period, as demonstrated by the 33.2
percent return for the Russell 1000 Growth Index versus the 7.4 percent return
for the Russell 1000 Value Index.
Although interest rates rose sharply throughout the year, the increases
caused only brief stock market corrections in July and October. Even as fears of
additional rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board continued through the end
of the period, the stock market was relatively unaffected; the economic strength
that triggered higher rates failed to cause any appreciable increase in the rate
of inflation.
Q WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY FOR MANAGING THE PORTFOLIO IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?
A In seeking value investments, we continued to focus on companies that we
believed were underappreciated by the market and demonstrated a catalyst
for positive change. At the same time, we monitored the Portfolio for
existing holdings that no longer appeared to meet our value criteria. For
example, we decreased or eliminated some of the Portfolio's holdings in the
technology area when we believed they had become overvalued or showed signs of
disappointing earnings. Throughout the year, we reduced the Portfolio's
substantial position in IBM because of concerns that Year 2000 computer problems
would weaken mainframe sales. In October, IBM announced an earnings shortfall,
so we sold the remaining shares.
We pursued a similar strategy with Adobe and Oracle, two top contributors to
the Portfolio's performance. We initially purchased shares of these leading
companies because they were selling at historically low values. After their
shares appreciated significantly, we gradually began reducing these holdings,
although we maintained positions in each company at the end of the reporting
period.
Despite these reductions, technology stocks contributed heavily to the
Portfolio's return and comprised its largest sector at the end of the period.
This heightened profile was primarily due to price appreciation among the
Portfolio's existing technology stocks, although we added new positions in
companies such as Alcatel, Nortel, and Hewlett Packard. Of course, not all the
stocks in the Portfolio performed as favorably, and there is no guarantee that
any of these stocks will perform as well or continue to be owned by the
Portfolio in the future.
Q IN WHAT OTHER AREAS DID YOU SEARCH FOR VALUE?
A We looked to the utilities and consumer nondurables sectors, both of which
trailed the technology sector but experienced favorable returns relative
to other value stocks. Within the utilities sector, we sought to take
advantage of opportunities in the deregulated energy market. For example, we
added to the Portfolio's position in Illinova, an electric utility company,
immediately after it announced a merger with Dynegy, a large energy trading
company. Overall, this sector contributed moderately to the Portfolio's return.
35
<PAGE> 37
Within the consumer nondurables sector, we added a position in Proctor &
Gamble because of its prospects for accelerated revenues and earnings growth.
This stock performed well, as did Colgate-Palmolive, which announced
better-than-expected earnings in the second half of the year. However, the
Portfolio's gains in this sector were overshadowed by its position in Philip
Morris, which continued to suffer from legal difficulties. We also continued to
monitor the progress of bottling companies added to the Portfolio early in the
year. To date, these holdings have not met our expectations for appreciation,
although they have met several of our criteria.
Q WERE THERE ANY OTHER DISAPPOINTMENTS IN THE PORTFOLIO?
A One of the biggest disappointments was the performance of HMO stocks.
Halfway through the Portfolio's fiscal year, we believed that HMO stocks
were due to emerge from a long period of underperformance, as customer
rate increases promised to outweigh projected cost increases. This belief was
confirmed as holdings in this sector performed well going into the summer.
However, the threat of legislation to increase the liability of HMOs and the
announcement of class-action lawsuits late in the period caused us to reevaluate
holdings in Aetna and United HealthCare. As a result, we sold all of Aetna and
more than half of the Portfolio's position in United HealthCare in the second
half of the reporting period.
The financial sector also turned in poor returns because of rising interest
rates and earnings deceleration. Regional banks such as FleetBoston Financial
were weak, as were larger banks such as Bank of America. Not all financial
stocks were disappointing, however. We added to Citigroup, which did well
relative to the sector, and enjoyed positive performance from Marsh & McLennan.
Q TAKING EVERYTHING INTO CONSIDERATION, HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM DURING
THE FISCAL YEAR?
A Although the majority of the stock market did not participate in the rally
that lifted the technology sector, our holdings in technology and other
carefully chosen value stocks boosted the Portfolio's return during the
fiscal year. As a result, the Portfolio achieved a total return of 12.99
percent(1) for the 12-month period ended December 31, 1999. By comparison, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 21.01 percent and the Russell 1000 Index,
which most closely resembles the Portfolio, returned 20.91 percent for the same
period.*
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged, broad-based index that reflects the
general performance of the stock market, and the Russell 1000 Index is an
unmanaged index that reflects the general performance of the 1,000 largest U.S.
companies based on total market capitalization. These indices do not reflect any
commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities
they represent. Such costs would lower the performance of the indices. An
investment cannot be made directly in an index. Of course, past performance is
no guarantee of comparable future results. Please refer to the chart on page 33
for additional Portfolio performance results.
Q WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE PORTFOLIO AND THE MARKET?
A We expect this challenging market environment to continue in the short
term, as investors wait to see what effect higher rates will have on
corporate profits and stock valuations. Although we foresee a continuation
of the rising interest-rate environment, we look for interest rates to
stabilize eventually, bringing some relief to the market in general and
providing opportunities for bonds and struggling stock sectors such as finance
and utilities to recover. Ultimately, our hope is that value stocks are able to
catch up to the narrow band of growth stocks currently dominating the market. In
this scenario, we believe our bottom-up analysis and disciplined value criteria
will help us uncover fresh investment opportunities for the Growth and Income
Portfolio.

PERFORMANCE RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
TOTAL RETURNS
One-year total return based on NAV(1)....................... (3.37%)
Life-of-Portfolio average annual total return based on
NAV(1)...................................................... 10.70%
Commencement date........................................... 07/03/95
</TABLE>
(1)Total return based on net asset value (NAV) assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period indicated, reinvestment of all distributions for the
period, and sale of all shares at the end of the period, all at NAV.
Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying portfolio or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. An investment
should be made with an understanding of the risks that an investment in equity
securities entails. These include the risk that the financial condition of the
issuers of the securities in the portfolio, or the condition of the stock market
in general, may worsen and therefore, the value of Portfolio shares may decline.
In addition, the Portfolio is subject to other risks. These risks include, but
are not limited to: market risk--the possibility that the market values of
securities owned by the Portfolio will decline; derivative investment risk--a
derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the
value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index and involves risks
different from investment in the underlying security; and manager risk--
management may not be successful in selecting the best performing securities and
the Portfolio's performance may lag behind that of similar portfolios. Past
performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset
value will fluctuate with market conditions. Portfolio shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Investing in REITs involves unique risks in addition to those risks associated
with investing in the real estate industry in general. Equity REITs may be
affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs,
while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended.
REITs are dependent upon management skills, are not diversified and are subject
to the risks of financing projects. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow
dependency, default by borrowers, self-liquidation and the possibilities of
failing to qualify for tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. REITs, especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to some
interest rate risk (e.g., as interest rates rise, the value of REITs may
decline).
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
MORGAN STANLEY REAL ESTATE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the NAREIT (National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts) Equity Index over time. These indexes are broad-based,
statistical composites that do not include any commissions or fees that would be
paid by an investor purchasing the securities they represent. Such costs would
lower the performance of these indices. An investment cannot be made directly in
an index.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
MORGAN STANLEY REAL ESTATE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT
The following is an interview with the portfolio managers of the Van Kampen Life
Investment Trust--Morgan Stanley Real Estate Securities Portfolio. The managers
are Theodore R. Bigman. and Douglas A. Funke.
Q WHAT WERE THE MARKET CONDITIONS IN WHICH THE PORTFOLIO OPERATED DURING THE
REPORTING PERIOD?
A The REIT market was overshadowed by persistent downward pressure during
the year, punctuated with intermittent rallies. After a difficult first
quarter, in which we saw a continuation of the negative market conditions
from 1998, the REIT market recovered in May in a value-oriented rally. However,
the third quarter was marked by declining prices and waning interest from
non-dedicated REIT investors. This trend affected much of the domestic equity
market as well, where positive stock returns and strong corporate fundamentals
were overshadowed by interest-rate fears and narrow market leadership during the
same period.
Fortunately, the fourth quarter brought some relief as value investors
renewed their interest in the overlooked REIT market. Buoyed by this interest,
the market rallied nearly 10 percent in the last few weeks of the year. However,
overall performance was negative for the 12-month period, and REITs ended the
year trading at a discount to the underlying value of their assets. As a result,
it was generally cheaper to buy real estate on Wall Street (through the
ownership of securities) than on Main Street (through the direct ownership of
properties).
Q HOW DID YOU POSITION THE PORTFOLIO DURING THIS TIME?
A Throughout the year, we were encouraged by the strength of the U.S.
economy and became more optimistic that this strength would translate into
favorable real estate fundamentals. As a result, we continued to shape the
Portfolio with companies that offered attractive fundamental valuations relative
to their underlying real estate value. Although the Portfolio's sector
weightings changed little from six months ago, we positioned the Portfolio with
a bias toward central business district and Southern California office
properties and began moving away from grocery-anchored shopping centers. We
maintained the Portfolio's overweight position to markets with high barriers to
entry, including West Coast apartments and downtown office buildings.
We continued to upgrade the Portfolio in terms of the quality of properties
held by REITs and the management teams. At the same time, we took advantage of
price weakness to add to some of the Portfolio's existing positions, including
Equity Residential Properties Trust, Arden Realty Trust, and Boston Properties,
Inc.. Due to relative valuations, we sold the Portfolio's position in Apartment
& Investment Management Company and its position in Regency Realty Corp. after a
failed merger.
Q WHAT WAS THE PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A Due in large part to the negative performance of the sector, the
Portfolio's total return was -3.37 percent(1) for the 12-month period
ended December 31, 1999. This performance was comparable to the total
return of the NAREIT (National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts) Equity Index of -4.60 percent over the same period. The NAREIT Index
reflects the performance of a broad range of equity REITs of all property types.
By comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index registered a total
return of 21.04 percent in the 12 months ended December 31, 1999. The S&P 500
Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index that reflects the general performance of
the stock market. These indices do not reflect any commissions or fees that
would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities they represent. Such
costs would lower the performance of the indices. An investment cannot be made
directly in an index. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future
results. Please refer to the chart and footnotes on page 43 for additional
Portfolio performance results.
45
<PAGE> 47
Q WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REAL ESTATE MARKET?
A The prices of public real estate securities continue to decline despite
favorable activity in the underlying real estate markets and a
corresponding increase in private real estate values. Generally, real
estate markets remain in equilibrium as strong levels of demand mute any
serious threat of oversupply. High demand was evident at the property level
throughout the past year as public companies reported strong cash flow growth
and, correspondingly, strong growth in asset value per share.
Our analysis indicates that property markets generally remain strong, buoyed
by the continuation of a strong economy. We anticipate a moderating of this
growth, primarily due to a combination of expiring, lower-priced leases being
rolled to market and an eventual slowing of the U.S. economy. Moderate growth
combined with low price-to-earnings ratios imply the ability for modest stock
prices of public real estate companies. In conjunction with high dividend
yields, this scenario may result in the sector providing more typical total
returns than we've seen in the previous year.

TOTAL RETURNS
One-year total return based on NAV(1)....................... (.47%)
Life-of-Portfolio average annual total return based on
NAV(1).................................................... 8.33%
Commencement date........................................... 11/03/97
</TABLE>
(1)Total return based on net asset value (NAV) assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period indicated, reinvestment of all distributions for the
period, and sale of all shares at the end of the period, all at NAV.
Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying portfolio or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. An investment
should be made with an understanding of the risks that an investment in equity
securities entails. These include the risk that the financial condition of the
issuers of the securities in the portfolio, or the condition of the stock market
in general, may worsen and therefore, the value of Portfolio shares may decline.
In addition, the Portfolio is subject to other risks. These risks include, but
are not limited to: market risk--the possibility that the market values of
securities owned by the Portfolio will decline; derivative investment risk--a
derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the
value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index and involves risks
different from investment in the underlying security; and manager risk--
management may not be successful in selecting the best performing securities and
the Portfolio's performance may lag behind that of similar portfolios. Past
performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset
value will fluctuate with market conditions. Portfolio shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
STRATEGIC STOCK PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment portfolio's performance at regular intervals.
A comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your investments are being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the Dow
Jones Industrial Average and the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI)
U.S.A. Index over time. These indexes are broad-based, statistical composites
that do not include any commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor
purchasing the securities they represent. Such costs would lower the performance
of these indices. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
STRATEGIC STOCK PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with representatives of the adviser of the Van
Kampen Life Investment Trust--Strategic Stock Portfolio. The representatives
include John M. Cunniff, senior portfolio manager, Raj Wagle, portfolio manager,
and Stephen L. Boyd, chief investment officer for equity investments.
Q WHAT MARKET FACTORS AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO LAST YEAR?
A The Dow Jones Industrial Average--perhaps the most widely recognized stock
market index--began the reporting period near 9200 and crossed several key
milestones in the first half of the year: 10,000 in March and 11,000 in
May. Major fluctuations followed, however, as the index nearly fell back to
10,000 in a difficult third quarter before setting a new record high in
December. For value-oriented portfolios such as the Strategic Stock Portfolio,
most of the year was challenging because investors continued to prefer growth
stocks to value.
Q IN LIGHT OF THESE CONDITIONS, HOW DID YOU SEEK TO MEET THE PORTFOLIO'S
OBJECTIVE?
A As always, we use a disciplined strategy to select undervalued stocks of
high-quality companies. First, we analyze the Dow, which is composed of 30
blue-chip stocks. Each month, we invest half of the Portfolio's new assets
into equal amounts of the 10 Dow stocks with the highest dividend-yields.
Investors often refer to this as a "Dogs of the Dow" strategy.
Next, we review the nearly 370 large-company stocks that comprise the Morgan
Stanley Capital International USA Index. We exclude the 30 stocks of the Dow and
all utility and financial stocks. The remaining securities are screened for
quality factors, such as sales growth, earnings growth, dividend performance,
and trading volume. Of the securities that pass our screen, we select the 10
stocks with the highest dividend yields. The other half of the Portfolio's new
assets are invested in equal amounts of these 10 stocks each month.
By limiting our investments to these two indices, we select from a pool of
high-quality U.S. companies. Also, because stocks with high dividend-yields tend
to be undervalued, our strategy pinpoints companies that could potentially
rebound in price. There is, of course, no guarantee of this, and the perceived
fair value of these securities may never be realized.
Q HOW DOES THIS STRATEGY WORK OVER TIME?
A Every month, we purchase 20 stocks--10 from the Dow and 10 from the
MSCI-USA Index. As a result, the Portfolio effectively has 12 "baskets" of
stocks (one for each month). We sell each basket after 12 months and
purchase a new basket of 20 stocks to replace it. It's important to understand
that shareholders of the Portfolio don't own just one basket of stocks. Each
shareholder owns the whole Portfolio, which contains multiple baskets.
Through this stock-selection process, the Portfolio is rotated every month
to purchase stocks that may be undervalued in the marketplace and sell stocks
that have had a full 12 months to potentially rebound to their fair values. It
has been our experience that solid, well-established companies do not often
languish at reduced valuations. These companies' true worth usually become
recognized over time. Our strategy gives each stock at least a 12-month window
to achieve its appreciation potential.
Q WHICH STOCKS MOST HELPED THE PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE?
A The Portfolio's largest holdings and biggest contributors to positive
performance were stocks that passed our screens during multiple months and
therefore were purchased repeatedly throughout the year. The stocks that
most significantly contributed to the total return for the 12-month period
included industrial and consumer products
54
<PAGE> 56
manufacturer Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M), clothing retailer Limited,
and auto maker General Motors. These companies benefited from strong economic
growth during the year.
Q WHICH STOCKS HINDERED PERFORMANCE?
A Philip Morris stood out as the largest detractor to performance, as
concerns about ongoing litigation in the tobacco industry continued to
trouble investors and erode its stock price. Because of the stock's high
dividend-yield and low price throughout the year, Philip Morris
represented a substantial portion of the Portfolio and therefore had a large
negative impact on the Portfolio's return.
Q HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM IN 1999?
A Because of the generally poor climate for value investments and
significant underperformance of the Portfolio's top holding, the Portfolio
endured a difficult 12 months. The Portfolio achieved a 12-month total
return of -0.47 percent(1) as of December 31, 1999. By comparison, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 21.04 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average returned 27.26 percent, and the MSCI-USA Index returned 22.38 percent
for the same period. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index that reflects the
general performance of the stock market. The Dow consists of 30 actively traded
stocks of well-established, blue-chip companies, and the MSCI-USA Index achieves
a 60 percent representation of U.S. market capitalization, as well as 60 percent
of the capitalization of each industry group. These indices are statistical
composites that do not include any commissions or fees that would be paid by an
investor purchasing the securities they represent. Such costs would lower the
performance of the indices. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.
Please refer to the chart and footnotes on page 52 for additional performance
results.
Q WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD FOR THE PORTFOLIO?
A Regardless of market conditions, we continue to follow our disciplined
stock-selection strategy. Because of dramatic market gains in recent
years, stock valuations are at unprecedented levels. A return to
historical norms might represent a good sign for the Portfolio, as
investors tend to purchase stocks with high dividend-yields during times of
market uncertainty. Of course, when this normalization might occur in this
growth-driven market is uncertain. In the meantime, we will continue to stick
with our discipline and hope for better conditions for the Portfolio in 2000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Van Kampen Life Investment Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management
investment company comprised of eleven Portfolios: Asset Allocation Portfolio(1)
("Asset Allocation"), Comstock Portfolio ("Comstock"), Domestic Income
Portfolio(1) ("Domestic Income"), Emerging Growth Portfolio ("Emerging Growth"),
Enterprise Portfolio ("Enterprise"), Global Equity Portfolio(1) ("Global
Equity"), Government Portfolio(1) ("Government"), Growth and Income Portfolio
("Growth and Income"), Money Market Portfolio(1) ("Money Market"), Morgan
Stanley Real Estate Securities Portfolio ("Real Estate") and Strategic Stock
Portfolio ("Strategic Stock") (collectively the "Portfolios"). Each Portfolio is
accounted for as a separate entity.
The goals of the Portfolios are as follows: Comstock seeks capital growth
and income through investments in equity securities including common and
preferred stocks and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks;
Emerging Growth seeks capital appreciation by investing principally in common
stocks of emerging growth companies; Enterprise seeks capital appreciation by
investing principally in common stocks of growth companies; Growth and Income
seeks long-term growth of capital and income by investing primarily in
income-producing equity securities including common stocks and convertible
securities; Real Estate seeks long-term growth of capital by investing
principally in securities of companies operating in the real estate industry;
and Strategic Stock seeks an above average total return consistent with the
preservation of invested capital, by investing primarily in a portfolio of high
dividend yielding equity securities included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
or the Morgan Stanley Capital International USA Index.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The
preparation of 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.
A. SECURITY VALUATION--Investments in securities listed on a securities exchange
are valued at their sales price as of the close of such securities exchange.
Fixed income investments are valued by independent pricing services or dealers
using the mean of the bid and asked prices. Unlisted securities and listed
securities for which the last sales price is not available are valued at the
mean of the bid and asked prices. For those securities where prices or
quotations are not available, valuations are determined in accordance with
procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost.
B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on a trade date
basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The
Portfolios may purchase and sell securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed
delivery" basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the
security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The
Portfolios will maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets
having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or
delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made.
The Portfolios may invest in repurchase agreements which are short-term
investments in which the Portfolios acquire ownership of a debt security and the
seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future time and specified price.
The Portfolios may invest independently in repurchase agreements, or transfer
uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account along with other investment
companies advised by Van Kampen Asset Management Inc. (the "Adviser") or its
affiliates, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements.
Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by the underlying debt security.
The Portfolios 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 required to maintain the value of the underlying security at not less
than the repurchase proceeds due the Portfolios.
- ---------------
(1) These Portfolios are included under a separate cover.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. INCOME AND EXPENSES--Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts on debt securities
purchased are amortized over the expected life of each applicable security.
Premiums on debt securities are not amortized.
D. ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS--Emerging Growth, Real Estate and Strategic Stock have
reimbursed Van Kampen Funds Inc. or its affiliates (collectively "Van Kampen")
for costs incurred in connection with each Portfolio's organization in the
amount of $6,828, $6,828 and $40,000, respectively per Portfolio. These costs
are being amortized on a straight line basis over the 60 month period ending
July 2, 2000, July 2, 2000 and November 4, 2002, respectively. The Adviser has
agreed that in the event any of the initial shares of the Portfolios originally
purchased by Van Kampen are redeemed during the amortization period, the
Portfolios will be reimbursed for any unamortized organizational costs in the
same proportion as the number of shares redeemed bears to the number of initial
shares held at the time of redemption.
E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Portfolio's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
Each Portfolio intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws
which allow each Portfolio to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight
years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future
realized capital gains. The following table presents the capital loss
carryforward at December 31, 1999 along with its expiration dates. The table
also presents the identified cost of investments at December 31, 1999 for
federal income tax purposes with the associated gross unrealized appreciation,
gross unrealized depreciation and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on
investments.

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax

recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year,

for tax purposes on open future positions at December 31, 1999.

F. DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS--Comstock, Emerging Growth, Enterprise,
Growth and Income, Real Estate and Strategic Stock declare dividends from net
investment income and net realized gains, if any, annually. Distributions from
net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and
gains on option and futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a
portion of option and futures gains are included in ordinary income for tax
purposes.
Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and
realized gains/losses under generally accepted accounting principles and for
federal income tax purposes, the amount of distributable net investment income
may differ between book and federal income tax purposes for a particular period.
These differences are temporary in nature, but may result in book basis
distribution in excess of net investment income for certain periods. The
following permanent differences between book and tax basis reporting for the
1999 fiscal year have been identified and appropriately reclassified.

purposes and have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gain/loss
to accumulated undistributed net investment income.

Accounting services are provided by Van Kampen at cost. Van Kampen Investor
Services Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing
agent for the Portfolios. Transfer agency fees are determined through
negotiations with the Portfolios' Board of Trustees and are based on competitive
benchmarks. Legal services are provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom
(Illinois), counsel to the Portfolios, of which a trustee of the Portfolios is
an affiliated person.
Certain officers and trustees of the Portfolios are also officers and
directors of Van Kampen. The Portfolios do not compensate their officers or
trustees who are officers of Van Kampen.
The Portfolios provide deferred compensation and retirement plans for their
trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation
plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a
later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable for a ten-year period
and are based upon each trustee's years of service to the Trust. The maximum
annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500 per portfolio.
At December 31, 1999, Van Kampen owned 100,000 shares of Comstock, 10 shares
of Emerging Growth, 54,451 shares of Growth and Income, 10 shares of Real

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security
whose value is "derived" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate
or index.
The Portfolios have a variety of reasons to use derivative instruments, such
as to attempt to protect the Portfolios against possible changes in the market
value of its portfolio, manage the Portfolio's effective yield, foreign currency
exposure, maturity and duration or to generate potential gain. All of the
Portfolios' holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market
each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/
depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is recognized
accordingly, except when taking delivery of a security underlying a futures or
forward contract. In these instances, the recognition of gain or loss is
postponed until the disposal of the security underlying the futures or forward
contract.
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments
used by the Portfolios.
A. FUTURES CONTRACTS--A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery
of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The
fixed income Portfolios generally invest in futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and
Notes. The equity Portfolios generally invest in S&P 500 Index Futures. Upon
entering into futures contracts, the Portfolios maintain, in a segregated
account with its custodian, cash or liquid securities with a value equal to its
obligation under the futures contracts. During the period the futures contract
is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in
the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated
with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended December 31, 1999, were

</TABLE>
B. FORWARD COMMITMENTS--Real Estate may trade certain securities under the terms
of forward commitments, whereby the settlement for payment and delivery occurs
at a specified future date. Forward commitments are privately negotiated
transactions between the Portfolio and dealers. Upon executing a forward
commitment and during the period of obligation, the Portfolio maintains
collateral of cash or securities in a segregated account with its custodian in
an amount sufficient to relieve the obligation. If the intent of the Portfolio
is to accept delivery of a security traded under a forward bond purchase
commitment, the commitment is recorded as a long-term purchase. For forward bond
purchase commitments for which security settlement is not intended by the
Portfolio, changes in the value of the commitment are recognized by marking the
commitment to market on a daily basis with changes in value reflected as a
component of unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon the settlement of the
contract, a realized gain or loss is recognized and is included as a component
of realized gain/loss on forwards. Purchasing securities on a forward commitment
involves a risk that the market value at the time of delivery may be lower than
the agreed upon purchase price resulting in an unrealized loss. Selling
securities on a forward commitment involves different risks and can result in
losses more significant than those arising from the purchase of such securities.
During the term of the commitment, the Portfolio may sell the forward commitment
and enter into a new forward commitment, the effect of which is to extend the
settlement date. In addition, the Portfolio may occasionally close such forward
commitments prior to delivery. Risks may arise as a result of the potential
liability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. There were
no forward bond commitments outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
6. BORROWINGS
In accordance with its investment policies, the Portfolios may borrow from banks
for temporary purposes and is subject to certain other customary restrictions.
Effective November 30, 1999, the Portfolios, in conjunction with certain other
funds of Van Kampen, have entered in to a $650,000,000 committed line of credit
facility with a group of banks which expires on November 28, 2000, but is
renewable with the consent of the participating banks. Each Portfolio is
permitted to utilize the facility in accordance with the restrictions of its
prospectus. In the event the demand for the facility meets or exceeds $650
million on a complex-wide basis, each Portfolio will be limited to its pro-rata
percentage based on the net assets of each participating fund. Interest on
borrowings is charged under the agreement at a rate of 0.50% above the federal
funds rate per annum. An annual commitment fee of 0.09% per annum is charged on
the unused portion of the credit facility, which each Portfolio incurs based on
its pro-rata percentage of quarterly net assets. The Portfolios did not borrow
against the credit facility during the period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of the Van Kampen Life Investment
Trust--Comstock Portfolio, Emerging Growth Portfolio, Enterprise Portfolio,
Growth and Income Portfolio, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Securities Portfolio and
Strategic Stock Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios 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 Comstock Portfolio, Emerging Growth
Portfolio, Enterprise Portfolio, Growth and Income Portfolio, Morgan Stanley
Real Estate Securities Portfolio and Strategic Stock Portfolio (each a Portfolio
of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust, collectively referred to as the
"Portfolios") at December 31, 1999, and the results of each of their operations,
the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of
the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Portfolios' 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 auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, 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, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

LETTER TO POLICYHOLDERS
January 20, 2000
Dear Policyholder,
As we enter a new century--and millennium--it seems appropriate to take a
look back at the progress that's been made over the last 100 years and how the
world of investing has changed over the generations. Although rapid advances in
technology and science have dramatically altered the world that we live in
today, one of the greatest shifts we've seen is the increasing importance of
investing for many Americans.
Once considered primarily for the wealthy, investing in the stock market is
now available to most people. In fact, almost 79 million individuals--who
represent almost half of all U.S. households--own stocks either directly or
through mutual funds. This is even more impressive when considering that just 16
years earlier, only 19 percent of households owned stocks. Another important
shift has been the need for retirement planning beyond a pension plan or Social
Security. The Investment Company Institute, the leading mutual fund industry
association, reports that 77 percent of all mutual fund shareholders earmarked
retirement as their primary financial goal in 1998.
Through all the changes in the investment environment over the past century,
the general principles that have made generations of investors successful remain
the same. Some that have stood the test of time include:
- INVESTING FOR THE LONG-TERM
- BASING INVESTMENT DECISIONS ON SOUND RESEARCH
- BUILDING A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO
- BELIEVING IN THE VALUE OF PROFESSIONAL INVESTMENT ADVICE
While no one can predict the future, at Van Kampen we believe that these
ideas will remain important tenets for investors well into this century. As we
continue to focus on these principles, we hope that our decades of investment
experience can help bring you closer to your financial goals as we welcome the
new millennium.
Sincerely,

ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT
ECONOMIC GROWTH
The nation's brisk rate of economic growth continued throughout 1999,
bringing the United States to the verge of its longest economic expansion on
record. High levels of consumer spending, a host of new jobs, and increasing
productivity kept the economy strong. Gross domestic product, the primary
measure of economic growth, increased 4.2 percent for the year, including an
impressive annualized rate of 5.7 percent for the third quarter and 5.8 percent
in the fourth quarter.
EMPLOYMENT
The job market remained vibrant throughout the year, with more than 2.7
million U.S. jobs created in 1999. In addition, unemployment dropped to 4.1
percent in October--its lowest rate in three decades. With jobs plentiful and
wages on the rise, most Americans were optimistic about the future. At the end
of the year the consumer confidence index hit its highest level since 1968.
Although wage pressures caused some concerns about the potential erosion of
corporate profits, productivity gains helped keep those concerns muted through
the end of the year.
INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES
Although the Consumer Price Index continued to reflect historically low
inflation--rising only 2.7 percent during 1999--concerns about future increases
in inflation were prevalent throughout the reporting period. The Federal Reserve
Board remained active in guarding against inflation and trying to temper
economic growth. The Fed reversed its three interest-rate cuts from the fall of
1998 by raising rates in June, August, and November 1999.

PERFORMANCE RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
VAN KAMPEN LIFE INVESTMENT TRUST
ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
TOTAL RETURNS
One-year total return based on NAV(1)....................... 4.94%
Five-year average annual total return based on NAV(1)....... 17.21%
Ten-year average annual total return based on NAV(1)........ 12.29%
Life-of-Portfolio average annual total return based on
NAV(1)...................................................... 11.58%
Commencement date........................................... 06/30/87
</TABLE>
(1)Total return based on net asset value (NAV) assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period indicated, reinvestment of all distributions for the
period, and sale of all shares at the end of the period, all at NAV.
Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying fund or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. An investment
should be made with an understanding of the risks that an investment in equity
securities entails. These include the risk that the financial condition of the
issuers of the securities in the portfolio, or the condition of the stock market
in general, may worsen and therefore, the value of Portfolio shares may decline.
In addition, the Portfolio is subject to other risks. These risks include, but
are not limited to: market risk--the possibility that the market values of
securities owned by the Portfolio will decline; credit risk--an issuer's ability
to make timely payments of interest and principal; derivative investment risk--a
derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the
value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index and involves risks
different from investment in the underlying security; and manager
risk--management may not be successful in selecting the best performing
securities and the Portfolio's performance may lag behind that of similar
portfolios. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment
return and net asset value will fluctuate with market conditions. Portfolio
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Fund Index* over
time. These indices are broad-based, statistical composites that do not include
any commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the
securities they represent. Such costs would lower the performance of these
indices. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with representatives of the adviser of the Van
Kampen Life Investment Trust--Asset Allocation Portfolio. The representatives
consist of John Cunniff, senior portfolio manager; Kelly Gilbert, Tom Copper,
and Raj Wagle, portfolio managers; and Stephen L. Boyd, chief investment officer
for equity investments.
Q CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE STOCK AND BOND MARKET ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE
PORTFOLIO DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A The Dow Jones Industrial Average--perhaps the country's most widely
recognized stock market index--began the reporting period near 9200 and
crossed several key milestones in the first half of the year: 10,000 in
March and 11,000 in May. Major fluctuations followed, however, as the index
nearly fell back to 10,000 in the difficult third quarter before once again
lifting to a record high late in December. Although many growth
stocks--particularly in the technology area--continued their strong results
during most of the year, it was, in fact, a "narrow" stock market propelled by
the stellar performance of only a handful of stocks.
Conditions were much less favorable for the fixed-income market--yield
spreads widened through the summer as the Fed implemented two rate hikes of 0.25
percent each. The results seemed to soothe investors, and spreads began to
narrow in early September. This narrowing trend continued until November, when
investors grew concerned about the potential effects of year 2000 problems on
corporate bond issuance and liquidity. However, a third Fed hike and a
lower-than-expected new issuance calendar ushered in a relatively smooth ending
to a volatile and difficult year for the fixed-income market.
Q GIVEN THIS ENVIRONMENT, HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE PORTFOLIO?
A The Portfolio seeks to provide high total return consistent with prudent
investment risk through investments in stocks, bonds, and money-market
securities. In seeking to achieve this goal, we first decide how we want
to allocate the Portfolio's assets based on performance expectations for
stocks, bonds, and cash. After determining the asset allocation, we generally
invest the stock portion of the Portfolio in large, well-established companies
with above-average growth rates. We select bonds based on a combination of their
income components and capital-appreciation potential.
During 1999 we reduced the Portfolio's exposure to the stock market and
added to cash and bonds. As of December 31, the asset allocation was
approximately 48 percent stocks, 36 percent bonds, and 16 percent cash. (The
allocation at the start of 1999 was 60 percent stocks, 30 percent bonds, and 10
percent cash.) We made this change based on the results of our asset allocation
model, which, in response to the rise in both the stock market and interest
rates during the reporting period, recommended a relatively conservative asset
allocation. This hurt the Portfolio's performance because the stock market rose
even more and bond prices fell after we shifted to the more cautious mix.
Q WHICH STOCKS SUPPORTED THE PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE?
A As we mentioned, technology stocks as a group were extremely successful
during the reporting period, and most of the Portfolio's best-performing
stocks were in this area. As new technologies such as the Internet
continue to enhance business productivity, companies are spending freely to
upgrade their existing systems.
The Portfolio's top three contributors to performance--Oracle (database
management software), Cisco Systems (maker of essential computer-networking
products), and Microsoft (consumer and business software manufacturer)--were
each well positioned to take advantage of these trends. Keep in mind that not
all stocks in the Portfolio performed as favorably, and there is no guarantee
that any of these stocks will perform as well in the future.

<PAGE> 80
Q DID ANY STOCKS HURT THE PORTFOLIO?
A Philip Morris stood out overwhelmingly as the largest detractor to the
Portfolio's performance, as concerns about ongoing litigation in the
tobacco industry continued to trouble investors. The stock's price fell
throughout the reporting period, declining very sharply in October after
an unfavorable judgment by a Florida court. Despite the risk of continued
litigation for Philip Morris, we believe the stock may provide an attractive
total return going forward. As a result, we continue to own the stock in the
Portfolio.
Q HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE BOND PORTION OF THE PORTFOLIO?
A To maintain diversification, enhance liquidity, and seek to reduce risk,
we continued to allocate the Portfolio's bond assets across a variety of
sectors within the corporate bond market. We continued to focus on
investment-grade securities (bonds rated BBB or higher) with maturities of 10 to
30 years.
The duration of the Portfolio is currently 6.06 years. This duration, which
is minimally longer than our benchmark, reflects essentially neutral position on
interest rates. Duration is a measurement used to quantify the sensitivity of a
bond's price to changes in interest rates. Typically, portfolios with longer
durations have performed better when rates are declining, and portfolios with
shorter durations have performed better when interest rates are rising.
Q HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM DURING THE LAST 12 MONTHS?
A Because of the stock market's healthy performance and the rise in interest
rates (environments of rising interest rates are typically unfavorable for
bonds), the Portfolio's conservative asset allocation hindered
performance. The Portfolio achieved a 12-month total return of 4.94
percent(1) as of December 31, 1999. By comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500
Index returned 21.04 percent, and the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Fund Index,
which more closely resembles the Portfolio, returned 9.80 percent. The S&P 500
Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index that reflects the general performance of
the stock market, and the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Fund Index reflects the
average performance of the 30 largest flexible portfolio funds.
These indices are statistical composites that don't include any commissions
or sales charges that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities
they represent. Such costs would lower the performance of these indices. An
investment cannot be made directly in an index. Past performance doesn't
guarantee future results. Please refer to the chart and footnotes on page 3 for
additional Portfolio performance results.
Q WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD FOR THE PORTFOLIO FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A Our outlook depends partly on whether the Federal Reserve increases
interest rates again soon. Although recent rate increases haven't had a
substantially adverse effect on stock prices, another one could be more
consequential. We're also keeping our eye on stock valuations, because the
higher they get, the greater the negative result on the market if investors were
to lose their enthusiasm for growth stocks. Because of these risks, we continue
to believe that maintaining current asset allocation--which includes a
significant percentage of bond investments and cash--is the best approach for
the Portfolio.

Five-year average annual total return based on NAV(1)....... 8.69%
Ten-year average annual total return based on NAV(1)........ 7.88%

NAV(1).................................................... 7.31%
Commencement date........................................... 11/04/87
YIELD
SEC Yield(2)................................................ 8.10%
</TABLE>
(1)Total return based on net asset value (NAV) assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period indicated, reinvestment of all distributions for the
period, and sale of all shares at the end of the period, all at NAV.
Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying fund or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
(2)SEC Yield is a standardized calculation prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for determining the amount of net income a portfolio should
theoretically generate for the 30-day period ending December 31, 1999.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. The Portfolio
is subject to certain risks. These risks include, but are not limited to: market
risk--the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the
Portfolio will decline; credit risk--an issuer's ability to make timely payments
of interest and principal; income risk--the income you receive from the
Portfolio is based primarily on interest rates, which can vary widely over the
short and long term; call risk--if interest rates fall, it is possible that
issuers of securities with high interest rates will prepay or "call" their
securities before their maturity dates; and manager risk--management may not be
successful in selecting the best performing securities and the Portfolio's
performance may lag behind that of similar portfolios. Past performance does not
guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset value will fluctuate
with market conditions. Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
DOMESTIC INCOME PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Lehman Brothers BBB Corporate Bond Index over time. This index is a broad-based,
statistical composite that does not include any commissions or fees that would
be paid by an investor purchasing the securities it represents. Such costs would
lower the performance of the index. An investment cannot be made directly in an
index.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
DOMESTIC INCOME PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with representatives of the adviser of the Van
Kampen Life Investment Trust--Domestic Income Portfolio. The representatives are
led by Kelly Gilbert, portfolio manager, who is joined by Reid J. Hill,
assistant portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, chief investment officer for
fixed-income investments.
Q WHAT WERE THE MARKET CONDITIONS IN WHICH THE PORTFOLIO OPERATED DURING THE
PERIOD?
A In the first days of 1999, the fixed-income market appeared to be poised
for a recovery from the volatility it had experienced in late 1998. As
investors gained confidence from the declining interest-rate and
low-inflation environment, yield spreads narrowed between Treasuries and
other types of bonds (such as corporate, high-yield, and mortgage-backed
securities).
However, a robust domestic economy in the second quarter of 1999 threatened
to fuel inflationary pressures, which drew the attention and intervention of the
Federal Reserve Board. Yield spreads widened through the summer as the Fed
implemented two rate hikes of 0.25 percent each. These increases seemed to
soothe investors, and spreads began to narrow in early September. This narrowing
trend continued until November, when investors grew concerned about the
potential effects of year 2000 problems on corporate bond issuance and
liquidity. However, a third Fed hike and a lighter-than-expected new issuance
calendar ushered in a relatively smooth ending to a volatile and difficult year
for the fixed-income market.
Q HOW DID YOU POSITION THE PORTFOLIO IN RESPONSE TO THESE CONDITIONS?
A We decreased the Portfolio's significant exposure to the industrial
sector--which includes health-care, media and telecommunications, and
consumer cyclical securities--in favor of increased weightings in the
finance sector. We accomplished this by eliminating industrial holdings
such as Tenet Healthcare, which was reduced due to concerns about the welfare of
health-care companies. In turn, we added positions like Abbey National and
Washington Mutual, which boosted the Portfolio's exposure to finance. This
strategy was effective, because the finance sector enjoyed relatively strong
performance for much of the period. In addition, the Portfolio's slight
overweighting in cable and media securities, which outperformed during the
period, contributed positively to its return.
Q WHAT WAS THE STRUCTURE OF THE PORTFOLIO AT THE END OF THE REPORTING
PERIOD?
A The Portfolio's credit-quality allocation continued to be weighted in
medium-quality securities, which are defined as A and BBB rated
securities. At the end of the reporting period, approximately 22 percent
of long-term investments were allocated to securities rated A and higher,
and 60 percent of long-term investments were invested in BBB rated securities.
The remaining 18 percent was allocated to securities rated BB and lower. This
allocation benefited the Portfolio during the last six months of the reporting
period, as BB and B rated securities outperformed A rated securities by 126
basis points and 43 basis points, respectively.
We also continued to focus on managing the Portfolio's duration during the
period. Duration, which is expressed in years, is a measurement of a bond's
price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. For most of the period, the
Portfolio's duration was held equivalent to or slightly longer than that of its
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers BBB Corporate Bond Index. Because interest rates
rose during this time, the long duration position was negative to the
Portfolio's return during this time. At the end of the period, the Portfolio's
duration was 6.5 years, which is slightly longer than the benchmark duration of
6.0 years. We'll look for opportunities to reallocate cash into the market in
the coming months, which would achieve a shorter duration.

<PAGE> 92
Q HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A Although the Portfolio's return was supported by its favorable sector
allocations, this benefit was overshadowed by the slow recovery of the
corporate bond market. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1999, the
Portfolio achieved a total return of -1.55 percent(1). Dividends paid and
reinvested by the Portfolio during the period totaled $0.580 per share. By
comparison, the Lehman Brothers BBB Corporate Bond Index produced a total return
of -0.82 percent for the same period. This broad-based, unmanaged index, which
reflects the general performance of corporate bonds, does not reflect any
commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities
it represents. Such costs would lower the performance of the index. An
investment cannot be made directly in an index. Of course, past performance is
not a guarantee of comparable future results. Please refer to the chart and
footnotes on page 15 for additional performance results.
Q WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THE MONTHS AHEAD?
A Generally, the picture for the corporate bond market has improved from six
months ago, and certainly from 12 months ago. We'll look for signs of
continued improvement by monitoring the level of new issuance released in
2000 and investors' reaction to this supply.
As we manage the Portfolio going forward, our focus on fundamental, in-depth
research and assessment of corporate bonds will remain unchanged. We will
continue to look beyond the sector, credit rating, or structure of a bond to
identify those issuers that we believe will remain financially sound and perform
well in a range of market conditions. We'll also search for value in
out-of-favor areas of the market in our quest to maintain the diversification of
the Portfolio and contribute to its performance.

returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. An investment
should be made with an understanding of the risks that an investment in equity
securities entails. These include the risk that the financial condition of the
issuers of the securities in the portfolio, or the condition of the stock market
in general, may worsen and therefore, the value of Portfolio shares may decline.
In addition, the Portfolio is subject to other risks. These risks include, but
are not limited to: market risk--the possibility that the market values of
securities owned by the Portfolio will decline; derivative investment risk--a
derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the
value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index and involves risks
different from investment in the underlying security; and manager
risk--management may not be successful in selecting the best performing
securities and the Portfolio's performance may lag behind that of similar
portfolios. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment
return and net asset value will fluctuate with market conditions. Portfolio
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Because the prices of common stocks and other securities fluctuate, the value of
an investment in the Portfolio will vary upon the Portfolio's investment
performance. Foreign securities may magnify volatility due to changes in foreign
exchange rates, the political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries,
and the potential lack of liquidity, government supervision, and regulation.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index + Dividends over time.
This index is a broad-based, statistical composite that does not include any
commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities
it represents. Such costs would lower the performance of the index. An
investment cannot be made directly in an index.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with the representatives of the subadviser of the
Van Kampen Life Investment Trust--Global Equity Portfolio. The representatives
are led by portfolio managers Barton M. Biggs and Ann D. Thivierge, Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter Investment Management (the "Investment Subadviser").
Q HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE MARKET CONDITIONS IN WHICH THE PORTFOLIO
OPERATED DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A Global economic recovery was the story of 1999, as economic activity
increased in most regions of the world. The U.S. economy resumed its
impressive climb with strong growth and minimal inflation. Meanwhile,
declining interest rates and a focus on cost-cutting fiscal reforms helped
revive many emerging markets. In particular, Japan and other Asian nations
emerged from devastating depressions and bear markets. In Europe, the
introduction of the euro went smoothly, though it declined against the U.S.
dollar in the first half of the year because of economic weakness, particularly
in Germany. The euro finished 1999 slightly above the dollar as the economy
recovered in the second half of the year.
Q WHAT SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES DID YOU USE TO
PURSUE THE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?
A At the end of the reporting period, the Portfolio had the following
regional allocations relative to 12 months earlier:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
DECEMBER 31, 1998 DECEMBER 31, 1999
----------------- -----------------
<S> <C> <C>
North America.............. 50.6% ..... 44.6%
Europe .................... 37.5% ..... 34.2%
Japan ..................... 8.0% ..... 17.4%
Far East .................. 1.8% ..... 1.7%
Other ..................... 2.1% ..... 2.1%
</TABLE>
Throughout the period, the Portfolio remained underweighted in the United
States because stocks appeared overpriced and therefore highly vulnerable in the
event of a market downturn. This strategy hindered performance in the first half
of the year as the U.S. economy continued its strong growth, but it benefited
the Portfolio in the second half when international markets surpassed the U.S.
stock market.
Early in the year, we visited Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan to talk with
government officials, central bankers, businesses, and other investors. At the
time, these meetings reinforced our belief that Asia had a long way to go in its
recoveries. However, we've seen evidence of their commitment to restructuring,
particularly in Singapore and Japan. In response, we significantly increased the
Portfolio's Singapore exposure. The leading economic indicators were higher and
point to even stronger economic growth. Stock prices were reasonable, and
earnings growth and earnings momentum were the highest in the Portfolio's
investment universe during the reporting period. We gave Singapore high marks
for the government and corporate environment. Additionally, while Singapore
remains dependent on consumer electronics and electronics exports, its economy
is broadening into other areas, which can help lessen the impact of a downturn
in the electronics sector. In Japan, stock prices were not as attractive in the
second half of the year as they were in the first half, but the market had a
great run, and the Portfolio's overweight position contributed positively to
performance.
During the year, Germany lagged the rest of Europe, but we believe recent
tax reform proposals are likely to unleash a massive corporate restructuring in
this largest of European economies, increasing capital efficiencies in Germany
and sending competitive shock waves across the continent. The fact that these
proposals came from the ruling party, Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschland
(SPD), which 18 months ago proposed marking all corporate assets to market for
immediate tax assessments, illustrates the extent of cultural leadership change.
Similarly, the negative local press resulting from the recent disclosure of
illegal funding (i.e. suitcases of cash) for Germany's Christian Democratic
Union (CDU) party (former Chancellor Kohl's party) should help to expose and
weaken the unhealthy post-World War II based relationships between German
politicians and companies, banks and utilities. This weakening is
27
<PAGE> 102
important to the continuation of the process of privatization and deregulation.
Only through dynamic reform can Europe's economy finally enjoy a long cycle of
strong growth and low inflation. We believe this change is occurring--and at an
accelerating pace.
Finally, the Portfolio is fully invested, meaning that it does not hold a
significant cash position.
Q HOW HAS THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A The Portfolio performed well in 1999 as a result of our favorable asset
and country allocations in Asia and the United States and our less
defensive strategy. The Portfolio's total return during the 12 months
ended December 31, 1999, was 30.06 percent(1). During the same period, the
Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index returned 26.83 percent. Please
keep in mind that the MSCI World Index is a broad-based index used as a
benchmark for general global equity funds. It does not reflect any commissions
or sales charges that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities it
represents. Please refer to the chart and footnotes on page 25 for additional
Portfolio performance results. Past performance does not guarantee future
results.
Q WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MONTHS AHEAD?
A We believe that consumer spending in Japan may experience a revival, which
we believe will boost its GDP above consensus expectations next year as
investors continue to gain confidence in Japanese markets. We feel the
ongoing recovery in the rest of Asia should aid Japan as well.
Our outlook for European equities is positive with the markets supported by
strong earnings growth, upward earnings estimates, and little threat in the
short-term from either interest rates or bond yields. For the third quarter,
earnings growth was strong and positive surprises outnumbered negative surprises
by 2:1, and we believe these trends may continue. Liquidity remains powerful
with strong individual investor buying. Importantly, we expect the euro to
strengthen from current levels, which may provide a boost for U.S. dollar-based
investors. However, we believe valuations are rich and the European markets are
highly correlated to the U.S. markets.
We are cautious about the U.S. equity market due to expensive valuations and
a more compelling case for fundamental change in the international arena. As
long as the U.S. market remains relatively stable, we believe that many European
and Asian markets can perform well given their rising economic growth, continued
restructuring, and improving earnings. While we are encouraged by the present
lack of meaningful inflation in the U.S., we continue to watch the Federal
Reserve Board, hoping that policy makers tap the brakes cautiously without
causing global reverberations. We expect the international markets to outperform
the United States not for months, but for years.

</TABLE>
(1)Total return based on net asset value (NAV) assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period indicated, reinvestment of all distributions for the
period, and sale of all shares at the end of the period, all at NAV.
Total returns do not include any charges, expenses, or fees imposed by an
insurance company at the underlying Portfolio or separate account levels. If the
returns included the effect of these additional charges, the returns would have
been lower.
(2)SEC Yield is a standardized calculation prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for determining the amount of net income a portfolio should
theoretically generate for the 30-day period ending December 31, 1999.
See the Comparative Performance section of the current prospectus. The Portfolio
is subject to certain risks. These risks include, but are not limited to: market
risk--the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the
Portfolio will decline; credit risk--an issuer's ability to make timely payments
of interest and principal; income risk--the income you receive from the
Portfolio is based primarily on interest rates, which can vary widely over the
short and long term; prepayment risk--if interest rates fall, the principal on
debt securities held by the Portfolio may be paid earlier than expected;
extension risk--the value of debt securities tends to fall as interest rates
rise; derivative investment risk--a derivative investment is one whose value
depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate
or index and involves risks different from investment in the underlying
security; and manager risk--management may not be successful in selecting the
best performing securities and the Portfolio's performance may lag behind that
of similar portfolios. Past performance does not guarantee future results. U.S.
Government securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The government backing applies
only to the timely payment of principal and interest when due, on specific
securities in the Portfolio, not to shares of the Portfolio. Portfolio shares
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The value of
debt securities will fluctuate with changes in market conditions and interest
rates, which will effect the value of Portfolio shares. Securities which are
issued by private issuers involve greater risk than those issued directly by the
U.S. Government.
Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass.
The Portfolio being offered is through a variable annuity contract.

PUTTING YOUR PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment performance at regular intervals. A
comparison of your Portfolio's performance to an applicable benchmark can:
- Illustrate the market environment in which your Portfolio is being
managed.
- Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions.
- Help you evaluate how your Portfolio's management team has responded to
the opportunities and challenges.
The following graph compares your Portfolio's performance to that of the
Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund Government/Mortgage Index over time. This index is a
broad-based, statistical composite that does not include any commissions or fees
that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities it represents. Such
costs would lower the performance of the index. An investment cannot be made
directly in an index.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with representatives of the adviser of the Van
Kampen Life Investment Trust--Government Portfolio. The representatives are led
by John R. Reynoldson, portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, chief investment
officer for fixed-income investments.
Q HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE MARKET IN WHICH THE PORTFOLIO OPERATED DURING
THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A In the first days of 1999, the fixed-income market appeared to be poised
for a slowdown in the global economy after the meltdown in Asia and
concurrent economic turmoil from the previous fall. Fixed-income
securities grew less expensive as a result of high levels of price
volatility and uncertainties regarding credit risk.
As the new year unfolded, however, it became clear that the global economy
had not only stabilized, but that positive economic growth, particularly in the
United States, had strongly reemerged. Concerns about inflationary pressures
grew in the second half of the year, fueled by tight labor markets and rallying
commodity prices. In response, the Federal Reserve Board systematically added
the 75 basis points it had withdrawn from the federal funds rate in 1998.
Meanwhile, the market grew wary of the potential year 2000
problem--specifically, the effects it might have on new bond supply and cash for
investors through the millennium.
As a result of the conditions above, interest rates rose steadily during the
year as economic realities proved to be more positive than had originally been
expected. For example, the 10-year Treasury note, which began the year with a
4.64 percent yield, ended the period with a 6.43 percent yield--a rise of 1.79
percent. During this time, the yield curve also flattened as shorter-term yields
increased more than longer-term yields, which rose only 1.39 percent.
Fixed-income securities experienced a topsy-turvy year, as yield spreads
tightened through May, widened into August due to year 2000 perception, and
finally tightened again as investors recognized that reports of computer
problems had been overblown.
Q HOW DID THESE CONDITIONS AFFECT YOUR MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO?
A We maintained a substantial percentage of the Portfolio's assets in
mortgage-backed securities for most of the period. When spreads began to
widen late in the second quarter, we slightly decreased this position,
only to replenish the mortgage-backed allocation when the securities
became less expensive in August. Within this sector, the Portfolio was comprised
primarily of GNMA issues yielding 6.5 and 7 percent. We believed these holdings
presented good values and were exposed to negligible homeowner refinancing
risks.
We also maintained the Portfolio's Treasury holdings in a barbell pattern,
with the heaviest weightings falling on the short- and long-maturity ends of the
yield curve. Our strategy was to minimize holdings in the "belly" of the curve,
which was especially vulnerable to flattening of the yield curve. We felt this
strategy was effective, given the rising interest-rate environment and the
changing shape of the curve.
Finally, we held the Portfolio's duration modestly higher than its benchmark
for much of the period. Because of the rise in interest rates, this position
moderately restrained the Portfolio's performance until we pared back the
duration near the end of the period.
Q HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A Rising interest rates and challenging market conditions were the most
significant factors affecting the Portfolio's return. For the 12-month
period ended December 31, 1999, the Government Portfolio generated a total
return of -3.36 percent.(1) By comparison, the Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund
Government/Mortgage Index posted a total return of -0.54 percent for the same
period. This broad-based, unmanaged index, which reflects the general
performance of U.S. government and mortgage-backed securities, does not reflect
any commissions or fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the
securities it represents. Such costs would lower the performance of the index.
An investment
37
<PAGE> 112
cannot be made directly in an index. Of course, past performance is no guarantee
of comparable future results. For additional performance results, please refer
to the chart and footnotes on page 35.
Q WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MONTHS AHEAD?
A We continue to see value in the mortgage market and believe it will be
buoyed by increased demand from banks and other interested investors in
the coming months. Of course, we will continue to keep a close eye on the
changing yield spreads between Treasuries and other fixed-income securities, but
we expect yield spreads to be fairly contained. We believe our ongoing
evaluation of the relationship between mortgages and Treasuries will enable us
to maintain an optimal balance between the two sectors in the Portfolio.
Assuming that additional interest-rate increases are on the horizon, we will
also continue our efforts to adjust the Portfolio's duration to more neutral
levels.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
The following is an interview with representatives of the adviser of the Van
Kampen Life Investment Trust--Money Market Portfolio. The representatives are
led by Reid Hill and Michael Bird, portfolio managers, and Peter W. Hegel, chief
investment officer for fixed-income investments.
Q HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN WHICH THE
PORTFOLIO OPERATED DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A A robust domestic economy, buoyed by high employment rates and strong
consumer activity, prompted the Federal Reserve Board to implement
interest-rate hikes in June, August, and November in an attempt to ward
off inflation. The cumulative effect of these rate hikes restored the federal
funds rate to its September 1998 level of 5.50 percent.
Against this backdrop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average continued along its
volatile path, ending the period with a return to its mid-year record highs. The
equity market easily outshone the fixed-income market, which suffered in the
third quarter of 1999 amid concerns that Year 2000 computer problems might make
it difficult for investors to liquidate their investments in the final weeks of
the year. As fears heightened, yield spreads widened between Treasuries and
other types of bonds, such as corporate, high-yield, and mortgage-backed
securities.
In an effort to reassure investors, the Fed announced a series of programs
designed to maintain cash reserves for banks and investment companies. The
programs gave institutional investors several options for procuring liquid
assets, including the ability to borrow funds from the Fed. These steps helped
settle the fixed-income market toward the end of the Portfolio's reporting
period.
Q HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE PORTFOLIO IN LIGHT OF THESE CONDITIONS?
A We continued to pursue our allocation model, in which half of the
Portfolio's assets would be invested in commercial paper, a third of the
Portfolio's assets invested in bank notes and CDs (certificates of
deposit), and the remainder invested in agency discount notes and
repurchase agreements ("repos"). During the past year, we maintained a focus on
commercial paper, which tends to provide the greatest yield advantage among the
Portfolio's investments. Correspondingly, we decreased the Portfolio's emphasis
on bank notes and CDs, which provided less value. However, market volatility
prompted us to pursue the liquidity of repos, thus creating a slight
underweighting in the commercial paper sector at the end of the reporting
period.
Within the commercial paper sector, we continued to select high-rated,
short-term corporate securities with ratings of at least A-1/P-1 from Moody's
and Standard & Poor's. These corporate securities provided income without
assuming excessive risk. We also continued to favor commercial paper with an
average maturity of 90 days or less. In the current interest-rate environment,
we believe there is little benefit in extending the Portfolio's risk by
investing in longer-term paper, which provides only a minimally higher return
than shorter-term paper.
Q HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A The Portfolio continued to provide shareholders with relative stability,
daily liquidity at $1.00 per share, and a competitive level of current
income. For the 12-month period ended December 31, 1999, the Portfolio
produced a total return of 4.63 percent. As of December 31, the Portfolio
generated a seven-day average yield of 4.80 percent and a 30-day effective yield
of 5.10 percent. The Portfolio's price per share remained unchanged at $1.00
throughout the reporting period.

<PAGE> 119
Q WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MARKET OVER THE COMING MONTHS?
A We expect the Fed to continue to gauge the strength of the economy and
indications of increasing price pressures in order to determine if another
interest-rate hike is warranted. At this point, we anticipate at least one
rate hike in the first few months of the year, although the market appears to be
preparing for the possibility of more than one increase.
In conjunction with this outlook, we will maintain our pursuit of the
allocation model described earlier in this report. Given our perspective on the
interest-rate environment, our focus on securities with short maturities will
continue in the foreseeable future. At the same time, we'll look to add value to
the Portfolio through careful security selection as we continue to seek to
achieve the Portfolio's objective of protection of capital and high current
income.
An investment in the Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
government, and there can be no assurance that the Portfolio will be able to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net
asset value will fluctuate with market conditions. Portfolio shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The Portfolio is offered through a variable annuity contract.

Van Kampen Life Investment Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management
investment company comprised of eleven Portfolios: Asset Allocation Portfolio
("Asset Allocation"), Comstock Portfolio(1) ("Comstock"), Domestic Income
Portfolio ("Domestic Income"), Emerging Growth Portfolio(1) ("Emerging Growth"),
Enterprise Portfolio(1) ("Enterprise"), Global Equity Portfolio ("Global
Equity"), Government Portfolio ("Government"), Growth and Income Portfolio(1)
("Growth and Income"), Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market"), Morgan Stanley
Real Estate Securities Portfolio(1) ("Real Estate") and Strategic Stock
Portfolio(1) ("Strategic Stock") (collectively the "Portfolios"). Each Portfolio
is accounted for as a separate entity.
The goals of the Portfolios are as follows: Asset Allocation seeks a high
total investment return consistent with prudent investment risk; Domestic Income
seeks current income as its primary objective and capital appreciation as a
secondary objective; Global Equity seeks long-term growth of capital through an
internationally diversified portfolio of equity securities of companies of any
nation, including the United States; Government seeks high current return
consistent with preservation of capital; and Money Market seeks protection of
capital and high current income by investing in money market instruments.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The
preparation of 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.
A. SECURITY VALUATION--Investments in securities listed on a securities exchange
are valued at their sales price as of the close of such securities exchange.
Fixed income investments are valued by independent pricing services or dealers
using the mean of the bid and asked prices. Unlisted securities and listed
securities for which the last sales price is not available are valued at the
mean of the bid and asked prices. For those securities where prices or
quotations are not available, valuations are determined in accordance with
procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost. For Money Market, all investments are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value.
Domestic Income's investments include lower rated and unrated debt
securities which may be more susceptible to a decline in value due to adverse
economic conditions than other investment grade holdings. These securities are
often subordinated to the prior claims of other senior lenders and uncertainties
exist as to an issuer's ability to meet principal and interest payments. Debt
securities rated below investment grade and comparable unrated securities
represented approximately 18% of Domestic Income's net assets at December 31,
1999.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on a trade date
basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The
Portfolios may purchase and sell securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed
delivery" basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the
security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The
Portfolios will maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets
having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when issued or
delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made.
The Portfolios may invest in repurchase agreements which are short-term
investments in which the Portfolios acquire ownership of a debt security and the
seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future time and specified price.
The Portfolios may invest independently in repurchase agreements, or transfer
uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account along with other investment
companies advised by Van Kampen Asset Management Inc. (the "Adviser") or its
affiliates, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements.
Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by the underlying debt security.
The Portfolios 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 required to maintain the value of the underlying security at not less
than the repurchase proceeds due the Portfolios.
C. INCOME AND EXPENSES--Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts on debt securities
purchased are amortized over the expected life of each applicable security.
Premiums on debt securities are not amortized.
D. ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS--Global Equity has reimbursed Van Kampen Funds Inc. or
its affiliates (collectively "Van Kampen") for costs incurred in connection with
the Portfolio's organization in the amount of $6,828. These costs are being
amortized on a straight line basis over the 60 month period ending July 2, 2000.
The Adviser has agreed that in the event any of the initial shares of the
Portfolio originally purchased by Van Kampen are redeemed during the
amortization period, the Portfolio will be reimbursed for any unamortized
organizational costs in the same proportion as the number of shares redeemed
bears to the number of initial shares held at the time of redemption.
E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Portfolio's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
Each Portfolio intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws
which allow each Portfolio to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight
years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future
realized capital gains. The following table presents the capital loss
carryforward at December 31, 1999 along with its expiration dates. The table
also presents the identified cost of investments at December 31, 1999 for
federal income

</TABLE>
Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and tax reporting
purposes primarily as a result of post October 31 losses which are not
recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year and
the deferral of losses relating to wash sale transactions.
F. DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS--Money Market declares dividends from net
investment income and net realized gain/loss on each business day. Asset
Allocation, Domestic Income, Global Equity and Government declare dividends from
net investment income and net realized gains, if any, annually. Distributions
from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains
and gains on option and futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a
portion of option and futures gains are included in ordinary income for tax
purposes.
Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and
realized gains/losses under generally accepted accounting principles and for
federal income tax purposes, the amount of distributable net investment income
may differ between book and federal income tax purposes for a particular period.
These differences are temporary in nature, but may result in book basis
distribution in excess of net investment income for certain periods. The
following permanent differences between book and tax basis reporting for the
1999 fiscal year have been identified and appropriately reclassified.

(b) Accretion of market discounts on bonds and paydowns of mortgage pool
obligations are recognized as ordinary income/loss for federal income tax
purposes but as realized gains or losses for book purposes. These permanent
differences have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gain/loss
to accumulated undistributed net investment income.
(c) At December 31, 1999, all or a portion of capital loss carryforward expired
creating a permanent difference between book and tax basis reporting. These
items have been reclassified from accumulated net realized loss to capital.
G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The market values of foreign securities,
forward currency exchange contracts and other assets and liabilities denominated
in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on quoted exchange
rates as of noon Eastern Standard Time. The cost of securities is determined
using historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at
prevailing exchange rates when accrued or incurred. Gains and losses on the sale
of securities are not segregated for financial reporting purposes between
amounts arising from changes in exchange rates and amounts arising from changes
in the market prices of securities. Realized gain and loss on foreign currency
includes the net realized amount from the sale of currency and the amount
realized between trade date and settlement date on security transactions.
H. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS--During the year ended December 31, 1999, custody fees
were reduced by the following amounts as a result of credits earned on overnight
cash balances:

In relation to Global Equity, the Adviser has entered into a subadvisory
agreement, dated April 1, 1997 with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Investment
Management Inc. (the "Subadviser") to provide advisory services to the Portfolio
and the Adviser with respect to the Portfolio's investments. For these services,
the Adviser pays 50% of its advisory fees to the Subadviser.
Under the terms of the advisory agreement, if the total ordinary business
expenses, exclusive of taxes, distribution fees and interest, exceed .95% of the
average daily net assets of Asset Allocation, Domestic Income, Government or
Money Market, the Adviser will reimburse the Portfolio for the amount of the
excess. Additionally, the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the
Portfolios for all expenses as a percent of average daily net assets in excess
of the following:

Accounting services are provided by Van Kampen at cost. Van Kampen Investor
Services Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing
agent for the Portfolios. Transfer agency fees are determined through
negotiations with the Portfolios' Board of Trustees and are based on competitive
benchmarks. Legal services are provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom
(Illinois), counsel to the Portfolios, of which a trustee of the Portfolios is
an affiliated person.
Certain officers and trustees of the Portfolios are also officers and
directors of Van Kampen. The Portfolios do not compensate their officers or
trustees who are officers of Van Kampen.
The Portfolios provide deferred compensation and retirement plans for their
trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation
plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a
later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable for a ten-year period
and are based upon each trustee's years of service to the Trust. The maximum
annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500 per portfolio.
At December 31, 1999, Van Kampen owned 95,241 shares of Global Equity.

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security
whose value is "derived" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate
or index.
56
<PAGE> 131
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolios have a variety of reasons to use derivative instruments, such
as to attempt to protect the Portfolios against possible changes in the market
value of its portfolio, manage the Portfolio's effective yield, foreign currency
exposure, maturity and duration or to generate potential gain. All of the
Portfolios' holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market
each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is
recognized accordingly, except when taking delivery of a security underlying a
futures or forward contract. In these instances, the recognition of gain or loss
is postponed until the disposal of the security underlying the futures or
forward contract.
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments
used by the Portfolios.
A. FUTURES CONTRACTS--A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery
of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The
fixed income Portfolios generally invest in futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and
Notes. The equity Portfolios generally invest in S&P 500 Index Futures. Upon
entering into futures contracts, the Portfolios maintain, in a segregated
account with its custodian, cash or liquid securities with a value equal to its
obligation under the futures contracts. During the period the futures contract
is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in
the value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated
with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended December 31, 1999, were
as follows:

=== ========
</TABLE>
B. FORWARD COMMITMENTS--Domestic Income, Global Equity, and Government may trade
certain securities under the terms of forward commitments, whereby the
settlement for payment and delivery occurs at a specified future date. Forward
commitments are privately negotiated transactions between the Portfolio and
dealers. Upon executing a forward commitment and during the period of
obligation, the Portfolio maintains collateral of cash or securities in a
segregated account with its custodian in an amount sufficient to relieve the
obligation. If the intent of the Portfolio is to accept delivery of a security
traded under a forward bond purchase commitment, the commitment is recorded as a
long-term purchase. For forward bond purchase commitments for which security
settlement is not intended by the Portfolio, changes in the value of the
commitment are recognized by marking the commitment to market on a daily basis
with
57
<PAGE> 132
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
changes in value reflected as a component of unrealized
appreciation/depreciation. A forward currency contract is a commitment to
purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward
rate. Upon the settlement of the contract, a realized gain or loss is recognized
and is included as a component of realized gain/loss on forwards. Purchasing
securities on a forward commitment involves a risk that the market value at the
time of delivery may be lower than the agreed upon purchase price resulting in
an unrealized loss. Selling securities on a forward commitment involves
different risks and can result in losses more significant than those arising
from the purchase of such securities. During the term of the commitment, the
Portfolio may sell the forward commitment and enter into a new forward
commitment, the effect of which is to extend the settlement date. In addition,
the Portfolio may occasionally close such forward commitments prior to delivery.
Risks may arise as a result of the potential liability of the counterparties to
meet the terms of their contracts. The Portfolio's market exposure from these
positions is equal to the Current Value noted below.
The forward currency contracts outstanding as of December 31, 1999 are as

6. BORROWINGS
In accordance with its investment policies, the Fund may borrow from banks for
temporary purposes and is subject to certain other customary restrictions.
Effective November 30, 1999, the Fund, in conjunction with certain other funds
of Van Kampen, has entered in to a $650,000,000 committed line of credit
facility with a group of banks which expires on November 28, 2000, but is
renewable with the consent of the participating banks. Each Fund is permitted to
utilize the facility in accordance with the restrictions of its prospectus. In
the event the demand for the facility meets or exceeds $650 million on a
complex-wide basis, each Fund will be limited to its pro-rata percentage based
on the net assets of each participating fund. Interest on borrowings is charged
under the agreement at a rate of 0.50% above the federal funds rate per annum.
An annual commitment fee of 0.09% per annum is charged on the unused portion of
the credit facility, which each Fund incurs based on its pro-rata percentage of
quarterly net assets. The Portfolios did not borrow against the credit facility
during the period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of the Van Kampen Life Investment
Trust--Asset Allocation Portfolio, Domestic Income Portfolio, Global Equity
Portfolio, Government Portfolio, and Money Market Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios 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 Asset Allocation Portfolio,
Domestic Income Portfolio, Global Equity Portfolio, Government Portfolio, and
Money Market Portfolio (each a portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust,
collectively referred to as the "Portfolios") at December 31, 1999, and the
results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and
the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolios' 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, 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, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
