                        DEAR ANCHOR PATHWAY INVESTOR:
 
                  We are pleased to report that Anchor Pathway Fund -- which
                serves as the underlying investment vehicle for the American
                Pathway Variable Annuity -- posted another year of solid gains.
                Fiscal 1996, representing the 12 months ended November 30, marks
                the second consecutive year of positive results for every series
                in the fund. The following commentary on the economy in general
                and the investment activities of each of the series has been
                provided by Capital Research and Management Company (CRMC), the
                investment adviser to the Anchor Pathway Fund.
 
                        ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
                  Financial markets around the world continued to advance as
                investors surveying the global landscape were encouraged by
                positive economic growth, mild inflation and favorable interest
                rates. Stock and bond prices were further bolstered by high cash
                flows into mutual funds, which by September of 1996 had already
                exceeded the previous year's record inflow.
 
                  U.S. stocks showed particular strength as they continued their
                astonishing march upward. On top of an already exuberant market,
                equity prices over the 12-month period rose 27.9%, as measured
                by Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index. This year's climb is
                notable for its concentrated intensity: nearly two-thirds of
                that gain came in the final quarter of the year. As a cautionary
                note, CRMC would add that this type of "froth" might suggest the
                possibility of a correction in a market that has seen an
                unprecedented 73 months without a correction of 10% or more.
                Meanwhile, returns on bonds showed a more modest increase of
                6.0%, as measured by the Salomon Brothers Broad Investment-Grade
                Index, reflecting the uncertainty in the first half of the year
                about the pace of economic growth in the U.S.
 
                  While CRMC continually monitors overall market levels, the
                investment adviser's primary focus continues to be on finding
                good values among individual securities, even in expensive
                markets. Here are brief comments on the investment activities of
                each series:
 
                  The GROWTH SERIES rose 14.0% for the 12 months ended November
                30. A brief market dip from May through July, caused in part by
                concerns about the direction of interest rates, produced severe
                losses among many technology stocks held in the series. That
                having been said, several sizable investments in this area
                actually showed significant price gains over the period. These
                included the series' largest holding, semiconductor giant Intel
                Corp. (+108.4%), and Oracle Systems Corp. (+62.0%), a leading
                developer of database software, which at 2.5% of net assets was
                the series' fifth-largest holding. Results were also hampered
                somewhat by media and entertainment stocks, which had a
                disappointing 1996. This sector has made positive contributions
                to the series in the past, and CRMC believes it can return to
                winning form again soon. Areas of strength for the series
                included retailers and leisure & tourism companies, many of
                which benefited from an increase in consumer spending. At fiscal
                year-end, 91.6% of the series' assets was invested in 118
                companies, with the remaining 8.4% in cash and equivalents as a
                buying reserve.
 
                  The INTERNATIONAL SERIES posted a gain of 20.0% for fiscal
                1996, as optimism about global economic conditions prevailed. As
                of November 30, every developed market in which the series was
                invested finished on the plus side, measured in local currency.
                (Measured in U.S. dollars, only Japan declined.) In Europe --
                where more than half the series' assets is invested -- monetary
                measures taken by many governments began at last to have their
                desired effect and most markets posted impressive double-digit
                gains.
 
                                                           ---------------------

                Elsewhere, Japan's slow recovery was accompanied by an uncertain
                political environment and a steady decline in the yen. Stock
                prices slid 4.4% in dollar terms; CRMC used this opportunity to
                add significantly to the series' holdings in that country.
                Although the series is still relatively underweighted in
                Japanese stocks, they now account for 7.2% of net assets, up
                from 6.6% a year ago. One of the series' largest industry
                concentration is in telecommunications stocks, many of which
                benefited from consumer demand for increasingly sophisticated
                services. Several of these companies accounted for the series'
                largest price gains over the 12-month period, including Telecom
                Italia and its parent company STET, which increased 66.5% and
                56.4%, respectively; Telefonica de Espana, which rose 59.0%; and
                Telecomunicacoes Brasileiras (Telebras) increased 33.9%, for the
                period it was held by the series.
 
                  The GROWTH-INCOME SERIES increased 21.9% for the year. The
                series, which emphasizes established companies with the
                potential for rising dividends, was well served by a market
                surge driven in large part by blue chip stocks. Several of the
                series' largest gainers were chemical companies that improved
                profits by expanding product lines or tapping into new markets.
                These included two of the series' holdings, Monsanto Co.
                (+73.6%) and Praxair Inc. (+67.0%). In other areas, rising fuel
                costs led to price gains for energy companies. The series also
                benefited from its sizable investments in health care, banking
                and insurance companies, many of which experienced substantial
                increases during the year. As a cautionary measure, CRMC added
                to its cash position during this last four-month market rise. As
                of November 30, about 88.0% of net assets is invested in stocks,
                with 12.0% in cash and other assets.
 
                  The ASSET ALLOCATION SERIES posted a gain of 19.3% for the
                year. The series has the flexibility to participate in market
                cycles in all three major asset classes, with holdings in
                carefully selected, high-quality common stocks, bonds and money
                market instruments. On November 30, the series held 63.1% in
                stocks, 28.5% in bonds and 8.4% in cash and equivalents. The
                equity portion, which is similar to a conservative growth and
                income fund, concentrated on typically stable industries, such
                as financial services and health care. Efforts to streamline
                operations in these areas have translated into improved profits
                for many companies, and a number of the series' largest
                investments were also among the top gainers. These included
                Citicorp (+54.4%), NationsBank Corp. (+45.2%), and
                pharmaceutical concerns Warner-Lambert Co. (+60.2%) and Pfizer
                Inc. (+54.5%). Together, these four investments account for more
                than 6.0% of net assets. On the fixed-income side, declining
                long-term interest rates in the second half of the year boosted
                bond prices and made significant contributions to the series'
                overall results.
 
                  The HIGH-YIELD BOND SERIES rose 14.0% for the year. The stock
                market's continued strength created a favorable environment for
                lower rated, higher risk bonds. High-yield securities provided
                substantially higher returns than their investment-grade
                counterparts over the period. In many cases, rising equity
                prices and increased merger activity provided highly leveraged
                companies with an infusion of capital. Their stronger financial
                positions and healthy growth in turn boosted the credit quality
                and value of their bonds. In a year which also set a record for
                the number of new high-yield issues, the task of finding
                promising, well-priced companies with good long-term prospects
                became even more challenging. CRMC's analysts take a
                research-intensive approach and continue to uncover attractive
                investment opportunities around the world among diverse
                industries such as telecommunications, forest products,
                broadcasting and energy. At fiscal year-end, the series included
                about 84.4% of assets in U.S. corporate bonds, 1.1% in non-U.S.
                securities and 6.9% in U.S. Treasuries. About 7.5% was held in
                the form of cash and equivalents.

                  The U.S. GOVERNMENT/AAA-RATED SECURITIES SERIES rose 5.5%
                through November 30, recovering ground lost early in the year.
                Bond prices, which had dipped sharply amid speculation that the
                Federal Reserve Board would take steps to temper economic
                growth, rose again as interest rate hikes failed to materialize.
                (Bond prices and interest rates generally move in opposite
                directions.) Despite periods of dramatic fluctuations, yields on
                10-year Treasury bonds ended the fiscal year only slightly
                higher than where they began. The series is invested in
                top-rated fixed-income obligations, the majority of which are
                backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government for
                the timely payment of principal and interest. During the year,
                CRMC increased investments in mortgage-backed securities to
                32.9%, which provided a yield advantage and good total return.
                The series also held about 47.0% in Treasury issues, with the
                balance in a combination of corporate and agency issues and
                short-term instruments.
 
                  The CASH MANAGEMENT SERIES had a 4.9% return for the 12 months
                ended November 30. The fiscal year began with a slight decline
                in short-term interest rates, as the Federal Reserve Board
                lowered the federal funds rates -- the rate that banks charge
                each other for overnight loans -- in December and January. Rates
                began inching upward in February, reflecting concern that the
                economy might be overheating. The series maintains a
                high-quality orientation by concentrating its assets in
                top-grade commercial paper. All its money market securities
                carry the highest rating from Standard & Poor's or Moody's. The
                series offers an alternative to investors who wish to
                temporarily reduce their stock or bond investments, or can be
                used as a base for making regular investments into other series.
 
                  The seven series in the Anchor Pathway Fund offer you a wide
                range of investment options to help you reach your long-term
                financial goals. CRMC remains committed to helping you achieve
                these goals by striving to find the best values that financial
                markets have to offer.
 
                  We look forward to reporting to you again in six months.
 
                Sincerely,
                Eli Broad
                Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer,
                Anchor National Life Insurance Company

                Performance figures quoted are for the Anchor Pathway Fund;
                therefore, they are not net of the fees and charges associated
                with the variable annuity.
                Investments in stocks and bonds are subject to risk, including
                stock market and interest rate fluctuations. Investments in
                non-U.S. stocks and bonds are subject to additional risks,
                including political and social instability, differing securities
                regulations and accounting standards and limited public
                information. High-yield bonds tend to be subject to greater
                price swings than higher-rated bonds and, of course, payment of
                interest and principal is not assured. Mortgage-backed
                securities are subject to prepayment, which can result in
                reinvestment of principal at lower yields. Money market
                instruments generally offer stability and income, but an
                investment in these securities, like investments in the other
                series, is not guaranteed.

ANCHOR PATHWAY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:  Anchor Pathway Fund (the
"Fund") is an entity of the type commonly known as a Massachusetts Business
Trust. Its Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the issuance of an
unlimited number of shares ($.01 par value per share) of beneficial interest in
seven separate series, with shares of each series representing an interest in a
separate portfolio of assets and operating as a distinct fund. The Fund is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. Shares of the Fund are
offered only to Variable Separate Accounts, a separate account of Anchor
National Life Insurance Company which offers annuity contracts.
 
The investment objectives for each series are as follows:
 
The GROWTH SERIES seeks growth of capital by investing primarily in common
stocks or securities with common stock characteristics, such as convertible
preferred stocks, which demonstrate the potential for appreciation.
 
The INTERNATIONAL SERIES seeks long-term growth of capital by investing
primarily in securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States.
 
The GROWTH-INCOME SERIES seeks growth of capital and income by investing
primarily in common stocks or securities which demonstrate the potential for
appreciation and/or dividends.
 
The ASSET ALLOCATION SERIES seeks high total return (including income and
capital gains) consistent with preservation of capital over the long-term
through a diversified portfolio that can include common stocks and other
equity-type securities (such as convertible bonds and preferred stocks), bonds
and other intermediate and long-term fixed-income securities and money market
instruments (debt securities maturing in one year or less) in any combination.
 
The HIGH YIELD BOND SERIES seeks a high level of current income and secondarily
seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in intermediate and long-term
corporate obligations, with emphasis on higher yielding, higher risk, lower
rated or unrated securities.
 
The U.S. GOVERNMENT/AAA-RATED SECURITIES SERIES seeks a high level of current
income consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital by
investing primarily in a combination of securities guaranteed by the U.S.
Government and other debt securities rated AAA by Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services or Aaa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or that have not received a
rating but are determined to be of comparable quality by the investment adviser.
 
The CASH MANAGEMENT SERIES seeks high current yield while preserving capital by
investing in a diversified selection of high quality money market instruments.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
SECURITY VALUATIONS:  Stocks are stated at value based upon closing sales prices
reported on recognized securities exchanges or, for listed securities having no
sales reported and for unlisted securities, upon last-reported bid prices.
Nonconvertible bonds, debentures, and other long-term debt securities are valued
at prices obtained for the day of valuation from a bond pricing service or a
major dealer in bonds when such prices are available; however, in circumstances
where the investment adviser deems it appropriate to do so, an over-the-counter
or exchange quotation at the mean of representative bid or asked prices may be
used. Securities traded primarily on securities exchanges outside the United
States are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on the day of
valuation, or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the last reported
bid price. Short-term securities with original or remaining maturities in excess
of 60 days are valued at the mean of their quoted bid and ask prices. Short-term
securities with 60 days or less to maturity are amortized to maturity based on
their cost to the Fund if acquired within 60 days of maturity or, if already
held by the Fund on the 60th day, are amortized to maturity based on the value
determined on the 61st day. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the
direction of the Fund's Trustees.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:  The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at
published rates on the following basis:
 
  (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities -- at
  the prevailing rate of exchange at the valuation date.
 
  (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses -- at
  the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
  Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under
forward foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean
of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated at the rate of
exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and
expenses are translated at rates of exchange prevailing when earned or incurred.
 
  The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as
a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market
prices of securities held at fiscal year-end. Similarly, the Fund does not
isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the changes in the
market prices of portfolio securities sold during the year.
 
  Realized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities and
change in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and
liabilities include realized foreign exchange gains and losses from currency
gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities
transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends,
discount and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S.
dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in the
unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses relating to other assets and
liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate.
 
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS, DIVIDENDS, INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES:  As is
customary in the mutual fund industry, securities transactions are accounted for
on the first business day following the trade date. Interest income is accrued
daily except when collection is not expected. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are
recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. The Fund
does not amortize premiums or accrete discounts on fixed income securities,
other than short-term securities, except those original issue discounts for
which amortization is required for federal income tax purposes; gains and losses
realized upon the sale of such securities are based on their identified cost.
Portfolios which earn foreign income and capital gains may be subject to foreign
withholding taxes at various rates.
 
  Common expenses incurred by the Fund are allocated among the series based upon
relative net assets. In all other respects, expenses are charged to each series
as incurred on a specific identification basis.
 
  The Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the
ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment
income and net realized capital gains are determined and presented in accordance
with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
distributions in excess of net realized capital gains. To the extent
distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal
income tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in capital. Net
investment income/loss, net realized gain/loss, and net assets were not affected
by this change.

3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:  It is the Fund's policy to continue to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net
realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax
provision is required.
 
  The amounts of aggregate unrealized gain (loss) and the cost of investment
securities for tax purposes, including short-term securities at November 30,
1996 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

    ANCHOR PATHWAY FUND
    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
    To the Trustees and Shareholder of Anchor Pathway Fund
 
    In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
    including the investment portfolios, 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 Growth Series,
    International Series, Growth-Income Series, Asset Allocation Series,
    High-Yield Bond Series, U.S. Government/AAA-Rated Securities Series and Cash
    Management Series (constituting the Anchor Pathway Fund, hereafter referred
    to as the "Fund") at November 30, 1996, the results of each of their
    operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets
    for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial
    highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in
    conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
    statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
    statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 November 30, 1996 by correspondence with the
    custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures
    where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a reasonable
    basis for the opinion expressed above.

    COMPARISONS: PORTFOLIOS VS. INDEXES
 
              The following graphs compare the performance of a $10,000
              investment in certain of the Anchor Pathway Fund portfolios to a
              $10,000 investment in a securities index. Each index has been
              chosen by Capital Research and Management Company (CRMC), the
              portfolios' money manager, as an appropriate comparison.
 
              THESE GRAPHS COMPARE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PORTFOLIOS AT THE
              ANCHOR PATHWAY FUND LEVEL AND INCLUDE ALL FUND EXPENSES BUT NO
              INSURANCE COMPANY EXPENSES AND NO CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES
              CHARGE. NO EXPENSES ARE DEDUCTED FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE
              INDEXES AND ALL DIVIDENDS ARE ASSUMED TO BE REINVESTED.
