Dear Shareholders,

     A 1996 end of year warning by Alan Greenspan kept stock returns in the
"normal" range for much of the first quarter. By the second quarter, however,
investors had shrugged off the chairman's warning and quickly elevated stocks
to new heights.  The S&P 500 Index returned almost six percent during April 
and May and over four percent for June.  Incredibly, the Index has returned 
over twenty percent for the year and 110 percent for the three years ended 
June 30th.  
	
     Impressive stock returns combined with solid economic growth and low 
inflation has been the catalyst for record inflows into stock mutual funds 
over the past few years.  The higher demand for stocks has pushed prices and 
valuations to record levels.  On the surface it appears a market "correction" 
is not only probable, but imminent.  Many in the investment community, however,
believe this market is different, the pattern has changed.  They theorize that
smaller federal deficits, a controlled monetary policy and globalization of 
markets has lead to an indefinite period of economic and investment prosperity.
If they are correct, current stock valuations are probably warranted.  If not,
stocks are indeed overpriced and a "correction" is necessary to bring values 
back to historical norms.  
	
     George Santayana once said, "Those who cannot remember the past are 
condemned to repeat it."  At the peak of prior bull markets, investors were 
euphoric about the almost effortless money to be made.  National and local 
economies were booming, jobs were plentiful, inflation was low and consumer 
confidence was high; times were good.  This investor euphoria happened in the 
mid 1920's, again in the late 1950's to mid 1960's and is widely evident today.
Although the years change, the feeling of unending prosperity is the same.  
Each of the earlier periods was also witness to the pitfalls of an economic 
and market downturn.  There is no question that the current economic boom will
eventually subside and stocks will correct.  The unknowns are when and by how 
much.  As investors, however, it is important to remember that investing is a 
long term commitment and short term market fluctuations should be expected. 
If today's market, for example, should be reduced by half, a correction of 
historic portions, the market would have the same valuation as in February 
of 1995.  A 1987 - type correction would put valuations back only to November 
of last year.  The cost, in commissions, taxes and anxiety is too great to 
warrant any attempt to avoid the correction.  Long term growth happens in the 
market, not on the sidelines.  For this reason we maintain a fully invested 
posture in all of our mutual funds.

     Within this environment, the Advance Capital I, Inc. Funds have performed
in-line with their respective investment objectives.  The growth portfolios, 
the Equity Growth and the Balanced Fund, increased 6.9 and 10.2 percent for 
the first half of the year.  Fixed income returns have been limited almost 
exclusively to the yield from the bonds.  The Bond, Long Term and Retirement 
Income Funds have returned 2.8, 2.0 and 3.4 percent through June 30th.  As we 
write this letter we note that stocks and bonds have continued their advance, 
tacking on considerable gains in July.  We remain committed to our investment 
philosophies and continue to maintain a fully invested posture.  

                                     Sincerely,


/s/ Robert J. Cappelli                                 /s/ John C. Shoemaker

Note 2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed 
by the COMPANY.
 
Security Valuation

     Securities for which exchanged quotations are readily available are 
valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price.  
Securities (including restricted securities) for which exchange quotations 
are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade 
on an exchange), are valued primarily using dealer supplied valuations or 
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied 
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Directors.  Money 
market instruments held by the Funds with a remaining maturity of sixty days 
or less will be valued at cost which approximates market.

Expenses

     Most expenses of the COMPANY can be directly attributed to a fund.  
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are generally apportioned between 
the Funds on the basis of average net assets.

Federal Income Taxes

     It is the COMPANY'S policy to meet the requirements of the Internal 
Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and 
intends to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.  
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is provided.

Note 2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Dividends

     Income dividends in the Bond, Balanced, Long Term Income and Retirement 
Income Funds are declared daily, except on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays 
and are paid monthly on the last business day of the month.  Income dividends 
in the Equity Growth Fund, if any, are declared annually and paid on the last 
business day of the year.  Capital gain dividends, if any, are declared 
annually on the last business day of the year and are normally paid within 
45 days.

Other

     Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date, the date the 
order to buy or sell is executed.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual 
basis.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Premium and 
discount on fixed income securities are amortized using the effective interest 
method.  Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on 
the first-in, first-out method for book and tax purposes.  Net investment 
losses, for which no carryover is permitted, are offset against paid in 
capital.  All adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of results 
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 have been included.  All adjustments 
were of a normal recurring nature.
