SCUDDER VARIABLE LIFE INVESTMENT FUND
LETTER FROM THE FUND'S PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholders,
Global stock and bond markets generally were strong in 1995, as slow
growth, moderate inflation, and falling interest rates provided a positive
economic backdrop. The biggest investment story of the year was the stunning
advance in the domestic stock market, as the average U.S. equity mutual fund
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services rose 31.07%. The U.S. bond markets rallied
as well, as evidenced by the average return of 17.30% for funds in Lipper's
income category--the product of sharply declining interest rates.
Internationally, while several European bourses provided solid returns in 1995,
interest rate declines in that region were not as compelling to investors as
those in the U.S., and market returns were correspondingly lower. Japan's stock
market was essentially flat, although the investment climate in that country
appeared to be improving as the year drew to a close.
Despite its impressive performance in 1995, the U.S. stock market appears
to be reasonably valued based on 1996 earnings forecasts. In addition, the
long-term outlook for U.S. financial assets is positive, as the economy is
expected to grow without inflation. A repeat of 1995's exceptional performance
is unlikely, however, especially if the economy slows in the coming year, as
anticipated. Many international markets are attractively valued by comparison,
and economies such as those in Europe are just beginning to realize the full
impact of falling interest rates and corporate restructuring--underscoring the
value of a global approach to investing.
We see a number of trends underway that support the outlook for investment
in the U.S. and around the world. Technology is bringing efficiencies to every
stage of the product cycle, from design to distribution. Globalization has
widened the competitive universe, making inflationary price increases less
likely. Deregulation is subjecting major industries to market discipline,
increasing capacity and reducing supply bottlenecks. While investing will always
involve uncertainties and market fluctuation, the net result of these forces may
well be an era of disinflationary growth that benefits investors and raises
living standards worldwide. We look forward to the challenges and opportunities
afforded by the evolving economic landscape, and thank you for your continued
investment in Scudder Variable Life Investment Funds.
Sincerely,
/s/David B. Watts

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
Money market funds generally provided attractive returns in 1995, despite
falling interest rates that resulted in lower yields. Many investors found the
combination of principal stability and solid real (inflation-adjusted) returns
provided by money funds attractive, and money funds consistently attracted
assets, ending the year with approximately $775 billion in total assets, up from
approximately $619 billion at the end of 1994 (source: Money Fund Report, IBC
Financial Publishing).
As of December 31, Money Market Portfolio posted a competitive 5.28% 7-day
net annualized yield. The Fund provided investors with $0.055 per share in
income distributions, contributing to a 5.65% total return for the annual
period.
Because longer-term instruments allow investors to lock in higher current
rates during periods of falling interest rates, we extended the Fund's average
maturity during the fiscal year. Money Market Portfolio's average maturity was
57 days at the close of the fiscal period. By comparison, the Fund's average
maturity was 35 days as of December 31, 1994. With the economy continuing to
slow, we believe that the Federal Reserve may lower interest rates further, and
we expect that in the coming months Money Market Portfolio's average maturity
will remain relatively long in order to capture higher yields.
Corporate commercial paper offered the most attractive yields available
during the period and remained a significant portion of the Fund. These
securities allow high-quality companies to raise short-term funds at a lower
rate than loans offered by banks. Commercial paper made up approximately 74% of
the Fund's portfolio at the end of the period.
With the economy moving at its current slow pace and inflation under
control, Money Market Portfolio will continue to lean toward longer-term
high-quality money market securities. As always, maintaining a stable one dollar
share price is a top priority, although this share price cannot be guaranteed.
Given these characteristics, and the potential for attractive real returns in
view of low inflation, which now stands at about 2%, we believe Money Market
Portfolio remains an appropriate place for your short-term investment needs and
can play an important role in your investment plan.
Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

BOND PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
Slowing economic growth and low inflation prompted the Federal Reserve
Board to reverse course mid-year and cut short-term rates on two occasions in
1995, while rates on long-term bonds ended the year nearly two percentage points
lower, falling from 7.87% to 5.95% as measured by the 30-year U.S. Treasury. The
U.S. fixed-income markets benefited from 1995's declining interest rate
environment as evidenced by the 18.47% return of the unmanaged Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index for the year. Bond Portfolio provided a total return of
18.17% for the 12 months ended December 31, in keeping with both the Lehman
Index and the average A-rated Corporate Bond fund tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, which returned 18.45%.
Throughout the period, we managed the portfolio actively, seeking to
capitalize upon shifts in relative valuation among the U.S. Treasury, mortgage
and corporate sectors, as well as changes in the yield curve. Going into 1995,
we extended duration--and therefore the portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate
changes--to benefit more fully from the rally in bond prices while capturing
higher yields. In addition, we began early in the year to trim our weighting in
mortgage-backed securities, particularly high-coupon issues trading at a
premium, in favor of Treasuries; mortgage-backeds tend to underperform in
periods of falling interest rates, as investors become wary of prepayments and
seek to maintain durations in order to benefit from bond market strength.
Throughout the year, we implemented a more "bulleted" portfolio configuration
focused on intermediate maturities where we saw the most potential for rate
declines and price appreciation. Finally, we maintained significant exposure to
the corporate sector, seeking bonds with favorable yield characteristics and
business outlooks versus comparable issues.
Going forward, it is unlikely that 1996 will see fixed-income prices rally
to the extent they did in 1995. However, economic growth is expected to continue
to slow, meaning that inflation should remain benign and that the Fed should
have room for further easing, especially if progress towards fiscal restraint in
Washington remains on course. Our generally positive outlook for interest rates
is reflected in the portfolio's modestly above-neutral duration. Average quality
of portfolio holdings remains a high "AAA." Bond Portfolio remains focused both
on identifying areas of the fixed-income market that represent strong relative
value and on providing competitive yields.
Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

BALANCED PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
Slow economic growth, low inflation, and falling interest rates boosted
both the U.S. equity and bond markets in 1995. Stocks rose a stunning 37.58% as
measured by the unmanaged S&P 500 Index, while the bond market returned 18.47%
as gauged by the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Balanced
Portfolio provided a total return of 26.67% for the 12 months ended December 31,
exceeding the 25.16% return of the average balanced fund tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services.
With respect to the equity portion of the Portfolio, we continue to focus
on U.S. companies with strong balance sheets, leading market positions, and
solid prospects for above-average growth. Individual market sectors that
performed particularly well over the year included technology, consumer staples,
healthcare, and financial services. While the technology group was slightly
underweighted, these sectors were generally well-represented in the equity
portion of the portfolio. Going forward, we expect that an environment of slower
economic growth and low inflation will be positive for those companies capable
of delivering consistently above-average earnings growth rates. Moreover, we
believe that growth stock prices overall are well within a reasonable range.
Thus we have retained substantial weightings in healthcare, media, and services,
as well as selected finance issues. With respect to the volatile technology
sector, we have built positions in companies that operate in less
commodity-oriented segments and are market leaders in growing niches, including
LSI Logic, Atmel, and Informix. Our portfolio is underweight in manufacturing
and retail/consumer discretionary, both of which are more economically sensitive
than other sectors.
On the fixed-income side, throughout the period, we sought to capitalize
upon shifts in relative valuation among the Treasury, mortgage, and corporate
sectors. Going into 1995, we extended duration--and therefore the portfolio's
sensitivity to interest rate changes--to benefit more fully from the rally in
bond prices. In addition, we began early in the year to trim our weighting in
mortgage-backed securities in favor of Treasuries; mortgage-backeds tend to
underperform in periods of falling interest rates, as investors become wary of
prepayments and seek to maintain durations in order to benefit from bond market
strength. Throughout the year, we implemented a more "bulleted" portfolio
configuration focused on intermediate maturities where we saw the most potential
for rate declines and price appreciation. Going forward, we believe the outlook
for interest rates is generally positive, and this is reflected in the
fixed-income portion of the portfolio's modestly above-neutral duration.

CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
A combination of slow growth, declining interest rates, and low inflation
helped propel U.S. equities to unanticipated peaks in 1995. Capital Growth
Portfolio's total return of 28.65% for the 12 months ended December 31, in part
reflects this strong market environment. The Portfolio's net asset value rose
$2.85 per share to $15.08 over the period. In addition, the Portfolio
distributed to shareholders $0.11 per share in income and $0.43 in capital gains
in 1995. While the Portfolio's performance for the year lagged that of the
unmanaged S&P 500 Index, which returned 37.58%, it was roughly in keeping with
the 30.79% total return of the average growth fund tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services.
Over the first half of 1995, Portfolio performance was aided by significant
weightings in the financial and technology sectors, including positions in the
Federal National Mortgage Association (mortgages) and Intel (semiconductors). As
the year progressed, the Portfolio de-emphasized sectors that have historically
experienced above-average volatility, such as media and communications, in favor
of sectors with earnings growth that should be sustainable even as the economy
slows, such as financial services and healthcare. Many financial stocks stand to
benefit from the current low-interest-rate environment, including such holdings
as FNMA and American International Group (insurance). Companies in the health
sector, such as Columbia/HCA Healthcare (hospital management) and Merck
(pharmaceuticals), should be more resistant to earnings disappointments than
companies with products and services of a less essential nature.
Despite their downturn in the latter part of 1995, technology stocks as a
group continue to display the potential for above-average long-term earnings
growth. Our focus with respect to this sector is on achieving broad exposure to
market leaders, and to avoid overexposure to the erratic semiconductor group and
individual issues trading at very high multiples. Accordingly, we have trimmed
our positions in Intel and Microsoft (software) and have added to holdings such
as Hewlett-Packard and Applied Materials, which display better value and have
diversified sources of revenue. Finally, we have increased our energy sector
holdings in view of the relative value presented by that group.
Going forward, the prospect of fiscal restraint on the part of the U.S.
government and continued low interest rates should provide a favorable backdrop
for equity investing. Despite a slowing economy and less compelling valuations,
earnings in selected groups should continue to be attractive and be rewarded by
the market. We are confident that Capital Growth Portfolio is positioned to
benefit investors seeking capital appreciation over time.
Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
The international equity investment climate was generally positive in 1995,
as slow growth, low interest rates, and low inflation prevailed in most major
economies. The International Portfolio's return of 11.11% for the 12 months
ended December 31, is in line with the 11.46% return of the unmanaged Morgan
Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, and Far East plus Canada Index,
and compares favorably with the 9.41% average return of international funds
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Throughout the year, Portfolio weightings favored Europe at the expense of
Japan. This strategy proved effective, as European stock markets in aggregate
produced solid returns. Among the major European bourses, Switzerland and Great
Britain turned in especially strong performances, with returns of 25.9% and
17.2%, respectively. After a shaky start to the year, the Japanese market
essentially finished flat, staging a recovery over the last quarter based on
lower interest rates and signs of a more determined effort on the part of the
government to address the underlying problems in the economy.
Going forward, while we have trimmed our European holdings, we remain
modestly overweight in the region, which we consider attractively valued. With
growth falling and unemployment rising, a key issue is whether France and other
European governments laboring under large budget deficits will be able to meet
the criteria established in Maastricht for European Monetary Union. We believe
that some degree of monetary stimulus is likely and that rates will fall
further, and have therefore added to or initiated positions in interest rate
sensitive stocks, such as French insurer AXA and Spanish motorway operator
Acesa.
Outside of Europe, we have increased our Japanese weighting. The yen has
given back some of its gains versus the dollar--a positive for Japan's
export-driven economy. Firms continue to restructure and interest rates are low.
Moreover, Japan is one of the few markets poised to benefit from the early
stages of economic recovery and upward revisions in corporate earnings.
Accordingly, we have added to Japanese stocks that are sensitive to economic
growth, such as retail conglomerate Ito-Yokado and specialized component
manufacturer THK.
In the year ahead, we will continue to focus on finding companies with the
ability to thrive in an increasingly globalized economy characterized by slow
growth and low inflation. The International Portfolio continues to provide a
vehicle for important exposure to economies and stock markets outside of the
United States.
Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australia, the Far
East (EAFE) & Canada Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted measure
of stock markets in Europe, Australia, the Far East and Canada. Index returns
assume dividends reinvested net of witholding tax and, unlike Fund returns,
do not reflect any fees or expenses.
All performance is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and
capital gains, and is not indicative of future results. Investment return
and principal value will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than when purchased. Total returns in some
periods were higher due to maintenance of the Fund's expenses. See Financial
Highlights for the International Portfolio.

*On May 1, 1993, the Portfolio adopted its present name and investment objective which is a balance of growth and income
from a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities. Prior to that date, the Portfolio was known as the
Managed Diversified Portfolio and its investment objective was to realize a high level of long-term total rate of return
consistent with prudent investment risk. The portfolio turnover rate increased due to implementing the present investment
objective. Financial highlights for the nine periods ended December 31, 1993 should not be considered representative of
the present Portfolio.

SCUDDER VARIABLE LIFE INVESTMENT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Significant Accounting Policies
Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund (the "Fund") is organized as a
Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, diversified management investment company.
Its shares of beneficial interest are divided into six separate diversified
series, called "Portfolios." These financial statements report on five
Portfolios which are the Money Market Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, Balanced
Portfolio, Capital Growth Portfolio, and International Portfolio.
The Fund is intended to be the funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts
and variable life insurance policies to be offered by the separate accounts of
certain life insurance companies ("Participating Insurance Companies"). As of

</TABLE>
The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the
preparation of the financial statements for its Portfolios in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Security Valuation. The Money Market Portfolio values all securities utilizing
the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and pursuant to which the Portfolio
must adhere to certain conditions. Under this method, which does not take into
account unrealized gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially
valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to
maturity of any discount/premium.
Securities in each of the remaining Portfolios are valued in the following
manner:
Portfolio securities which are traded on U.S. or foreign stock exchanges are
valued at the most recent sale price reported on the exchange on which the
security is traded most extensively. If no sale occurred, the security is then
valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations.
If there are no such bid and asked quotations, the most recent bid quotation is
used. Securities quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automatic Quotation ("NASDAQ") System, for which there have been sales, are
valued at the most recent sale price reported on such system. If there are no
such sales, the value is the high or "inside" bid quotation. Securities which
are not quoted on the
53
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NASDAQ System but are traded in another over-the-counter market are valued at
the most recent sale price on such market. If no sale occurred, the security is
then valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked
quotations. If there are no such bid and asked quotations, the most recent bid
quotation shall be used.
Portfolio debt securities with remaining maturities greater than sixty days are
valued by pricing agents approved by the officers of the Fund, which quotations
reflect broker/dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing
techniques. If the pricing agents are unable to provide such quotations, the
most recent bid quotation supplied by a bona fide market maker shall be used.
Short-term investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost.
All other securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
by the Valuation Committee of the Trustees.
Options. An option contract is a contract in which the writer of the option
grants the buyer of the option the right to purchase from (call option), or sell
to (put option), the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within
a specified period of time. Certain options, including options on indices, will
require cash settlement by the Fund if the option is exercised. During the
period, the International Portfolio purchased put options on currencies and
wrote call options on currencies as a hedge against potential adverse price
movements in the value of portfolio assets.
The liability representing the Fund's obligation under an exchange traded
written option or investment in a purchased option is valued at the last sale
price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean between the closing bid and asked
price or at the most recent asked price (bid for purchased options) if no bid
and asked price are available. Over-the-counter written or purchased options are
valued using dealer supplied quotations.
Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Portfolios are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into
U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at
the daily rates of exchange, and
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest
income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on
the respective dates of such transactions.
The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments
which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to
changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with
the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related
transactions includes gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the sales of foreign
currency, and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends,
interest, and foreign withholding taxes.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange
contract (forward contract) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. During the period, the
non-money market Portfolios utilized forward contracts as a hedge in connection
with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign
currencies and the Bond Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, and the International
Portfolio utilized forward contracts as a hedge against changes in exchange
rates relating to foreign currency denominated assets.
Forward contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the
underlying currencies and unrealized gain/loss is recorded daily. Forward
contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain
(loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on
settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the
difference between the value of the forward contract to buy and the forward
contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from
foreign currency related transactions.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally,
when utilizing forward contracts to hedge the Fund gives up the opportunity to
profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

SCUDDER VARIABLE LIFE INVESTMENT FUND
Repurchase Agreements. The Fund on behalf of each Portfolio may enter into
repurchase agreements with U.S. and foreign banks and broker/dealers whereby the
Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the
amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is
required to be maintained at such a level that the market value, depending on
the maturity of the repurchase agreement and the underlying collateral, is equal
to at least 100.5% of the resale price.
Federal Income Taxes. Each Portfolio is treated as a single corporate taxpayer
as provided for in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It is each
Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
which are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of
its investment company taxable income to the separate accounts of the
Participating Insurance Companies which hold its shares. Accordingly, the
Portfolios paid no federal income taxes and no provision for federal income
taxes was required.
Distribution of Income and Gains. All of the net investment income of the Money
Market Portfolio is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of the
close of business each day and is paid to shareholders monthly. Dividends from
the Bond Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, and the Capital Growth Portfolio are
declared and paid quarterly in April, July, October and January. All of the net
investment income of the International Portfolio normally will be declared and
distributed as a dividend annually. During any particular year, net realized
gains from investment transactions for each Portfolio, in excess of available
capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Portfolio if not distributed
and, therefore, will be distributed to the Participating Insurance Companies.
The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains
distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The differences
primarily relate to investments in forward contracts, passive foreign investment
companies, post October loss deferral, non-taxable distributions, and certain
securities sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net
realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may
differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the
Portfolios may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital
accounts without impacting the net asset value of each Portfolio.
The Portfolios use the specific identification method for determining realized
gain or loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting
purposes.
Expenses. Each Portfolio is charged for those expenses which are directly
attributable to it, such as management fees and custodian fees, while other
expenses (reports to shareholders, legal and audit fees) are allocated based on
relative net asset value among the Portfolios.
Other. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All original
issue discounts are accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes. B.
Related Parties Under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
with Scudder, Stevens and Clark, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the Fund agrees to pay
the Adviser a fee, based on average daily net assets, equal to an annual rate of
0.37% for the Money Market Portfolio, 0.475% for the Bond Portfolio, 0.475% for
the Balanced Portfolio, 0.475% for the Capital Growth Portfolio, and 0.875% for
the International Portfolio.
The Trustees authorized the Fund on behalf of each Portfolio to pay Scudder Fund
Accounting Corp., a subsidiary of the Adviser, for determining the daily net
asset value per share and maintaining the portfolio and general accounting
records of the Fund.
Related fees for such services are detailed in each Portfolio's statement of
operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For a period of five years from the date of execution of a Participation
Agreement with the Fund, and from year to year thereafter as agreed by the Fund
and the Participating Insurance Companies, each of the Participating Insurance
Companies has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the annual
operating expenses of any Portfolio of the Fund, other than the International
Portfolio, exceed three-quarters of one percent (0.75 of 1%) of that Portfolio's
average annual net assets. The Participating Insurance Companies have agreed to
reimburse the Fund to the extent that such expenses of the International
Portfolio exceed one and one-half percent (1.50 of 1%) of the Portfolio's
average annual net assets. The Adviser may advance some or all of such
reimbursement to the Fund prior to receiving payment therefore from a
Participating Insurance Company, but it is under no obligation to do so. If the
Adviser does advance such reimbursement to the Fund and does not receive payment
therefore, it will be entitled to be repaid such amounts by the Fund.
The Fund pays each Trustee not affiliated with the Adviser and not a Trustee of
other Scudder affiliated funds $12,000 annually plus specified amounts for
attended board and committee meetings. The Fund pays each Trustee not affiliated
with the Adviser and who is a Trustee of other Scudder affiliated funds $7,500
annually plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.
Allocated Trustees' fees for each Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1995
are detailed in each Portfolio's statement of operations.
C. Line of Credit
The International Portfolio and several other Funds ("The Participants") share
in a $500 million revolving credit facility for temporary or emergency purposes,
including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the
untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual
commitment fee which is allocated among each of the Participants. Interest is
calculated based on the market rates at the time of the borrowing. The
International Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 25 percent of its net
assets under the agreement. In addition, the International Portfolio also
maintains an uncommitted line of credit.
