The above graph reflects the results of a $10,000 investment in Series A of
the Aetna GET Fund from its inception, August 17, 1987, through its
liquidation on November 30, 1992. It also shows the results of $10,000
investments in S&P 500 and Lehman Aggregate, two unmanaged indices, for the
same period.

The Series A line reflects the deduction of the advisory fee and other
expenses for Series A and certain separate account charges. The advisory fee
for Series A was .50% annually calculated on the average daily net assets of
the Series (.25% prior to December 1, 1987). The advisory fee and other
expenses for Series C of the Aetna GET Fund offered by this prospectus are
 .40% during the Offering Period (.25% advisory fee and .15% administrative
services fee) and .75% during the Guaranteed Period (.60% advisory fee and
0.15% administrative services fee). The Series A line also reflects the
deduction of Series A other expenses and of a separate account charge of
1.25% for Mortality and Expense and the GET Guarantee Charge of .25%. Please
refer to your Contract prospectus for Contract charges as actual Contract
charges vary.

It should be noted that the stock market fell sharply on October 19, 1987.
Series A was invested in money market securities at that time and was not
affected by the fall. This explains the large divergence between the
performance of Series A noted above and performance of the S&P 500 index
during the first months of Series A operations. The percentage mix of fixed
income and equity securities in Series C is expected to be different than
that of Series A, since it is based on the economic factors at the beginning
of the Guaranteed Period of the Series.

The above graph reflects the results of a $10,000 investment in Series B of
the Aetna GET Fund from its inception, July 1, 1994, through September 30,
1996. It also shows the results of $10,000 investments in S&P 500 and Lehman
Aggregate, two unmanaged indices, for the same period.

The maturity date of Series B is June 30, 1999. The Series B line reflects
the deduction of the advisory fee and other expenses for Series B and certain
separate account charges. The advisory fee is .75% (.25% prior to July 1,
1994) annually calculated on the average daily net assets of Series B. The
Series B line also reflects the deduction of Series B other expenses and of a
separate account charge of 1.25% for Mortality and Expense and the GET
Guarantee Charge of .25%. Please see your Contract prospectus for Contract
charges as actual Contract charges may vary.

The percentage mix of fixed income and equity securities in Series C is
expected to be different than that of Series B, since it is based on the
economic factors at the beginning of the Guaranteed Period of the Series.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       Aetna GET Fund, Series C (the Fund) is registered under the Investment
       Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment
       company whose shares are currently sold to Aetna Life Insurance and
       Annuity Company (the Company) for allocation to certain of its variable
       life/annuity accounts (Accounts). The Company's Accounts held 100% of the
       Fund's outstanding shares at September 30, 1996. The investment objective
       for the Fund is to achieve maximum total return by participating in
       favorable equity market performance without compromising a minimum
       targeted rate of return during a specified five year period, the
       "Guaranteed Period", from December 17, 1996 to December 16, 2001, the
       Maturity Date.

       The Fund will accumulate deposits from September 16, 1996 to December 16,
       1996. The Guaranteed Period for the Fund is from December 17, 1996 to
       December 16, 2001. The minimum targeted rate of return during this period
       is 2.5% per year before asset based contract charges and Series C costs
       of operations.

       The accompanying financial statements of the Fund have been prepared in
       accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation
       of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
       principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
       affect amounts reported therein. Although actual results could differ
       from these estimates, any such differences are expected to be immaterial
       to the net assets of the Fund.


<PAGE>


     A.       Valuation of Investments

              Investments are stated at market values based upon closing sales
              prices as reported on national securities exchanges or, for
              over-the-counter securities, at the mean of the bid and asked
              prices. Short-term investments maturing in more than sixty days
              for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
              current market value. Short-term investments maturing in less than
              sixty days are valued at amortized cost which when combined with
              accrued interest approximates market. Securities for which market
              quotations are not considered to be readily available are valued
              in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees.

     B.       Federal Income Taxes

              As a qualified regulated investment company, the Fund is relieved
              of federal income and excise taxes by distributing its net taxable
              investment income and capital gains, if any, in compliance with
              the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

     C.       Distributions

              Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and
              capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
              income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
              accounting principles. These differences are expected to primarily
              be the result of losses deferred due to wash sales.

     D.       Other

              Investment transactions are accounted for on the day following
              trade date, except same day settlements which are accounted for on
              the trade date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
              Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over
              the life of the respective security using a yield to maturity
              method. Dividend income and stock splits are recorded on the
              ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment
              transactions are determined on an identified cost basis.

2.   Investment Advisory Fee and Other Expenses

       The Fund pays the Company (its investment adviser) a monthly investment
       advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.60% of its average daily net assets
       (0.25% of its average daily net assets during the offering period).

       Under an Administrative Service Agreement (Agreement), the Company
       provides all administrative services necessary for the Fund's operations
       and is responsible for the supervision of the Fund's other service
       providers. The Company also assumes all ordinary, recurring costs of the
       Fund, such as custodian fees, trustee's fees, transfer agent costs and
       accounting expenses. For these services, the Company receives an annual
       fee, payable monthly, at a rate of 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net
       assets.

<PAGE>


       The Fund and the Company have engaged Aeltus Investment Management, Inc.
       (Aeltus) to act as subadviser to the Fund. Under the terms of the
       subadvisory agreement, Aeltus will supervise the investment and
       reinvestment of cash and securities and provide certain related
       administrative services to the Fund in exchange for a fee (payable by the
       Company) of .375% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

    3.        Purchases and Sales of Investments

              There were no purchases or sales of investments, other than
              short-term investments, for the period September 16, 1996
              (commencement of operations) through September 30, 1996.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Aetna GET Fund, Series C:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Aetna
GET Fund, Series C (the Fund), including the portfolio of investments, as of
September 30, 1996, and the related statements of operations, changes in net
assets and financial highlights for the period from September 16, 1996 to
September 30, 1996. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 1996 by
correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aetna
GET Fund, Series C, as of September 30, 1996, the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the period from September
16, 1996 to September 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Item 27.  Indemnification

Article V of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification
of trustees and officers. In addition, the Registrant's officers and trustees
are covered under a directors and officers errors and omissions liability
insurance policy issued by Gulf Insurance Company which expires in October,
1997.

The text of Massachusetts indemnification statute, Section 67, describing the
circumstances under which the Registrant may be required to indemnify its
directors, officers, or employees, as most recently amended in 1983, is as
follows:

Indemnification of directors, officers, employees and other agents of a
corporation, and persons who serve at its request as directors, officers,
employees or other agents of another organization, or who serve at its request
in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan, may be provided by it
to whatever extent shall be specified in or authorized by (i) the articles of
organization or (ii) a by-law adopted by the stockholders or (iii) a vote
adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote on
the election of directors. Except as the articles of organization or by-laws
otherwise require, indemnification of any persons referred to

<PAGE>

in the preceding sentence who are not directors of the corporation may be
provided by it to the extent authorized by the directors. Such indemnification
may include payment by the corporation of expenses incurred in defending a civil
or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such
action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified
to repay such payment if he shall be adjudicated to be not entitled to
indemnification under this section which undertaking may be accepted without
reference to the financial ability of such person to make repayment. Any such
indemnification may be provided although the person to be indemnified is no
longer an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation or of such
other organization or no longer serves with respect to any such employee benefit
plan.

No indemnification shall be provided for any person with respect to any matter
as to which he shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted
in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest
of the corporation or to the extent that such matter relates to service with
respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants
or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.

The absence of any express provisions for indemnification shall not limit any
right of indemnification existing independently of this section.

A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or other agent of another organization or with
respect to any employee benefit plan, against any liability incurred by him in
any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.

                                Rights of Holders


The Registrant will cause to be maintained a shareholder register that records
the name and address of each shareholder, the number of shares (with respect to
each Series that may have been established) held by each shareholder, and all
transfers of such shares. Certificates need not be issued for shares so recorded
in the register account unless requested by a shareholder. Such Shares issued by
the Registrant are offered only to Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company
(ALIAC) and its separate accounts and ALIAC will not request that certificates
be issued for shares. The Registrant's Declaration of Trust, which is
incorporated by reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 8 to Registration
Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-12723), as filed electronically on June 14,
1996, sets forth Rights of Holders.

Re: Aetna GET Fund
    Post-Effective Amendment No. 9 on Form N-1A
    Registration No. 811-5062 under the 1940 Act
    and No. 33-12723 under the 1933 Act


Gentlemen

The undersigned serves as counsel to Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company
(ALIAC), the investment adviser to Aetna GET Fund, a Massachusetts business
trust (the "Fund"). It is my understanding that the Fund has registered an
indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest under the Securities Act of
1933 ("Securities Act") pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act").

Insofar as they relate or pertain to the Fund, I have reviewed the prospectus
and the Registration Statement on Form N-1A, as amended to the date hereof,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and
the Investment Company Act, pursuant to which the Shares will be sold (the
"Registration Statement"). I have also examined originals or copies, certified
or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, trust records and
other instruments I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this
opinion. For purposes of such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures on original documents and the conformity to the original of all
copies.

I am admitted to practice law in Connecticut, New York and Oklahoma, and do not
purport to be an expert on the laws of any other state.

Based upon the foregoing, and assuming the securities are issued and sold in
accordance with the provisions of the prospectus, I am of the opinion that the
shares when sold will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to my being named under the caption "Legal Matters" therein.


Sincerely,

/s/Susan E. Bryant
