PRESIDENT'S LETTER
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust
Dear Fellow Contract Owner:

     We are pleased to report to you on the activities of the SteinRoe
Variable Investment Trust for the period ended June 30, 1995.  This was a
period of moderate growth for the Trust, as net assets increased to
approximately $697 million.

     The Portfolio Managers' discussions, which follow this letter, review the
investment operations of each Fund and the factors that materially affected
its performance in the first half of 1995.  For comparable performance
information at the contract level, please contact your life insurance company.

     We have seen many of our Contract Owners allocate monies to more than one
of the Funds to diversify their contract value.  As a result, we continue to
present the financial reports in a single, consolidated document.  We hope you
find this helpful and convenient.

     Thank you for investing in the SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust.

Sincerely,

Richard R. Christensen
President

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Capital Appreciation Fund

Dear Contract Owner:

For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, the Fund's total return lagged
the general market indices, declining 1.97 percent, compared to a 14.42
percent gain for the Russell 2000 and a 20.19 percent gain for the S&P 500*.
The principal reason the Fund lagged the market was the underperformance of
its smaller-cap domestic stocks and non-U.S. holdings. In addition, the Fund
did not participate as strongly in the rally by technology stocks, which
helped to drive the performance of the Russell 2000. Although the small-cap
and overseas stock market sectors have been a drag on the Fund's performance
during the past six months, we should remember these same two sectors helped
the Fund achieve the number one performance ranking in its peer group during
1992-1993.

As of June 30, the Fund, which focuses primarily on small and medium-sized
companies, had 82 percent of its portfolio invested in stocks with market caps
of less than $500 million, 7 percent in stocks between $500 million and $1
billion, and 11 percent in stocks with market caps of more than $1 billion. 
The median market cap of the stocks in the portfolio was $220 million. Small
stocks, as a group, tend to move in and out of market popularity; however, we
believe that a well-chosen group of small company stocks can generally achieve
a higher relative rate of return than large-cap companies over a period of
years. As a result, we believe the Fund is best suited for investors with
long-term time horizons of three to five years. The Fund's total annualized
return for the three-year period ending June 30, 1995, was 17.7 percent,
compared to 16.5 percent for the Russell 2000 and 13.2 percent for the S&P
500.

After lagging the market's performance during the past six months, we
implemented a three-point plan:

(1)  We are concentrating on the stocks that we know best, reducing the number
of issues in the Fund from 76 to 60;

(2)  Since overseas markets have been more volatile than we expected, we   are
increasing the quality and visibility of our overseas holdings; and

(3)  We've reduced the equity ratio from 93 percent to 90 percent by selling
several stocks that we judged to be overpriced.

Our top ten holdings, which are all domestic and represented 34 percent of the
portfolio at June 30, are performing reasonably well and remain broadly
diversified.  For the period, they experienced average price appreciation of
21 percent. We believe they remain well financed and ably managed with rising
earnings.
<PAGE>
Our three-point plan will result in a reduced number of small-cap and
international holdings in the Fund, while increasing its exposure to domestic
mid-cap stocks.  There is no change in our direct research effort:  We will
continue to focus on evaluating company management and identifying what we
believe are large market opportunities.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Managed Growth Stock Fund

Dear Contract Owner:

During the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, Managed Growth Stock Fund
underperformed the S&P 500, posting a gain of 18.00 percent, versus a gain of
20.19 percent for the S&P.* The S&P's return reflected a continued rally by
the technology sector--led, in particular, by semiconductor and semiconductor
equipment companies. Although the Fund maintains a significant technology
exposure (more than 20 percent at June 30), its holdings are concentrated in
the more conservative technology services companies. The rally in
semiconductor stocks has been so powerful that even our significant weighting
in the technology sector did not allow us to keep up with the performance of
the S&P.
We did not make any meaningful shifts in industry exposure during the past six
months. Technology remained the Fund's best performing sector, and our outlook
for these stocks remains positive. Also of note was the strong performance of
the Fund's financial services holdings, which benefited from the slowing
economy and decreasing pressure on interest rates.

We added several positions during the period, including AirTouch
Communications, MBNA Corp., Fluor Corp., Schlumberger Ltd., and Hercules. We
eliminated several positions, including PepsiCo, which has been plagued by
problems in its restaurant sector; Elan, an Irish-based pharmaceutical company
experiencing difficulty with its new product pipeline; China Light & Power, a
Hong Kong-based utility company negatively affected by slowing growth in its
home markets, as well as problems with a new power plant it was bringing
on-line; Duracell, whose European operations were weak; Barnes & Noble, a
bookstore chain facing increasing competition; and finally, to reduce our
exposure in the Hong Kong/S.E. Asia corridor, we sold Hong Kong Telecom. 

We remain invested in what we believe are the 50 best high-quality, large-cap
growth stocks available. The Fund continues to focus on three main investment
themes. First, we invest in companies that can generate a significant portion
of their revenues overseas. As foreign markets become increasingly integrated,
the demand for the brand name products and services these companies offer
should continue to grow. Second, we maintain a significant exposure in
technology and information companies. This area--especially the cellular
sector--continues to enjoy increasing global demand. Finally, we've been
concentrating on the rapidly growing outsourcing industry. 

Although the stock market has experienced a strong rally to date in 1995, we
remain cautiously optimistic about equity prices going forward. While we
believe slower economic growth may squeeze the gain in corporate profits,
lower interest rates and a stronger dollar should help sustain many growth
stocks. 

Also, as the U.S. dollar strengthens, we expect many foreign buyers--who have
been noticeably absent from the U.S. stock market recently--to make an
aggressive return, which should help to stimulate the market.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Strategic Managed Assets Fund

Dear Contract Owner:

For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, the Fund's return of 15.78
percent lagged the 20.19 percent return of the S&P 500.* The S&P's return
reflected the continued strength of the equity market. The Fund, however, was
fully invested in fixed income securities during the six-month period. While
fixed income securities enjoyed strong performance during the period, they did
not rally to the same extent as equity securities. Importantly, the Fund did
significantly outpace its Lipper peer group median, placing in the top 15th
percentile.

We responded to changes in the bond market--including a drop in interest rates
and rally in bond prices--by reallocating the Fund's portfolio. We shifted out
of long-term bonds completely, replacing them with intermediate-term bonds and
cash. This shift not only helped to contain volatility, but provided continued
solid performance as interest rates rose after the shifts. The Fund's weighted
average adjusted duration fell from 9.9 years to 5.4 years, while its weighted
average maturity plummeted from 26.5 years at the end of the first quarter to
7.4 years at the end of the six-month period.  The Fund's weighted average
current yield fell from 7.86 percent to 6.48 percent. The Fund currently
divides its bond investments between U.S. Treasury bonds, at 58 percent, and
AAA/Agency bonds, at 42 percent.

The Fund remains fully invested in fixed income securities, reflecting our
belief that, as interest rates are steady to downward, the fixed income market
will outperform equities.  Although we expect to see some short-term price
volatility in the bond market, we believe the Fund is well positioned to take
advantage of further Fed easing. If rates fall materially, however, we plan to
shift additional assets from intermediate-term bonds to cash.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Managed Assets Fund

Dear Contract Owner:

For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, Managed Assets Fund posted a
gain of 14.12 percent, versus a 20.19 percent gain for the S&P 500.* The Fund
did, however, outperform its peer group, placing in the 42nd percentile. The
Fund's underperformance relative to the S&P can be linked to three primary
factors: its defensive posture; weak performance by some of its holdings,
particularly natural gas and REITs; and an underweighting in technology.  

We maintained a consciously strong defensive position during the period.
Because the economy was growing rapidly and interest rates were much higher,
we believed that, had the economy failed to slow, stock prices would have come
under severe pressure from rising interest rates. We were willing to sacrifice
some performance potential in order to protect capital. Fixed income
securities and cash, which made up approximately 30 percent of the portfolio
at June 30, posted returns considerably below the S&P 500. Bonds, as measured
by the Lehman Corporate/Government Index, returned 13.80 percent for the
period, and cash, as measured by the 90-day T-Bill Index, returned 2.87
percent. 

Many of the Fund's traditional defensive industry groups, such as natural gas
and REITs, performed poorly during the period. Adding to the Fund's
underperformance was an underweighting in the technology sector, which did
especially well during the period. Few technology stocks fit our low p/e
profile.

We made a number of changes during the period to allow the Fund to more fully
participate in the market, should it continue to rally. In the past, we've
purchased issues to limit downside risk, in case of a market decline. Toward
the end of the reporting period, however, we added several positions that we
believe are slightly more aggressive. These include WMX Technologies,
Materials Science Corp., Xerox, and Frontier Corp. We also added to our bank
holdings by purchasing half commitments in two banks that we believe are prime
candidates for acquisition: Mercantile Bank and Bank of Boston.

Our defensive posture was clearly too conservative in light of the markets'
actions over the first six months of 1995. We find it improbable, however,
that the market will continue to forge ahead at the same pace during the rest
of  the year. A slowdown in the market, which will certainly occur at some
point, or a renewed interest in some of the lagging sectors (such as REITs),
would benefit the Fund, and should lead to a period of outperformance.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Managed Income Fund
Dear Contract Owner:
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, Managed Income Fund posted a
return of 12.51 percent, versus a 13.80 percent return for the Lehman
Corporate Bond Index. The Fund's return placed it just ahead of the median
return of 11.82 for its Lipper corporate bond peer group.* 

The Fund's underperformance relative to the Lehman Corporate Bond index can be
linked, in part, to the fact that this Lehman Index includes a mix of long-
and intermediate-term securities, while the Fund focuses primarily on
intermediate-term securities. In addition, the Fund maintained a slightly
shorter duration than did the Index. A bond rally, such as the powerful rally
by Treasuries during the second quarter, tends to shorten a fund's duration.
And, while we were able to lengthen our duration to 5.23 by the end of the
quarter, for much of the quarter, we were will below the Index duration of
5.7.

With the powerful rally in the Treasury market and the yield on the benchmark
long-term bond rocketing to 7.8 percent, this has been a good year for bonds.
We scored particularly well during the Treasury rally, since we were heavily
weighted in 10-year Treasury securities, the rally's strongest performer. In
addition, our holdings of Yankee bonds -- dollar-denominated bonds issued in
the United States by foreign banks and corporations -- performed well during
the rally, as they provide slightly higher yield than Treasuries. 

That positive impact was hindered, however, by a widening of spreads, in both
high-grade and below investment-grade securities, relative to the Treasury
market. This spread widening was driven by a number of factors:  recession
fears, which tend to spur spreads to widen; an increase in issuance as issuers
took advantage of lower interest rates; and buyer protest to the tighter
spreads of the first quarter, which drove a buildup in dealer inventory and a
subsequent reduction in prices. The higher coupons of some of our high-yield
bonds, however, mitigated somewhat the negative effect of this widening in
spreads.

Economic growth, right in step with the Federal Reserve's plan for a soft
landing, slowed to a crawl during the first and second quarters of 1995. We
believe that slow economic growth can easily slip into recession, so in
January we began paring back our holdings of securities in cyclical industries
and began investing more defensively -- buying the securities of companies
that would be able to withstand a possible recession, a focus we maintained
throughout the past six months.

The Fund's more neutral duration should allows us to respond very quickly --
moving duration either higher or lower -- to changes in the economic
environment. While we expect interest rates to either stabilize or to continue
to decline, recent data have been mixed, with stronger-than-expected corporate
earnings indicating that the economy is still growing at a good pace. As a
result, we do not plan any significant changes to the portfolio in the near
term.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Mortgage Securities Income Fund

Dear Contract Owner:

For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, the Fund's return of 9.69
percent trailed the return on the Lehman Mortgage-backed Securities index of
10.73 percent.* The Fund's underperformance was driven primarily by a duration
that was slightly lower than the index -- given the sharp drop in interest
rates since November 1994, the Fund's lower duration caused the Fund to
appreciate less than the Index. 

The Fund's sector allocation remained stable during the first half of 1995. We
maintained a heavy emphasis on mortgage-backed securities, which represent
approximately 90 percent of the Fund. For the first time, we added GNMA
adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) to our holdings -- the sharp rise in
volatility during the second quarter made these securities attractive. Our
current holdings in these securities represent roughly 5 percent of the
portfolio, and we will add to that position if appropriate. The Fund's
adjusted duration, a measure of price volatility, declined from 4.0 to 3.4
during the quarter, as a result of expectations of rising prepayments.

We expect to maintain the Fund's current weighting in mortgages because we
believe the market is unduly concerned about prepayment and supply. As
investors realize that prepayments will not rise to levels close to those
experienced in 1993, investors will begin to gradually add to their mortgage
holdings and mortgages will outperform Treasuries. 

The mortgage market also could perform well if interest rates stabilize. The
mortgage market generally performs poorly relative to Treasuries when the
markets are volatile, as they were in the second quarter. While the biggest
risk to the mortgage market at this point is another sharp drop in rates --
which would lead to a surge in prepayments -- we do not expect long-term rates
to decline much more over the next six to twelve months.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Cash Income Fund

Dear Contract Owner:

For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, the Fund's total return of 2.79
percent ranked it just above the median of its Lipper money market fund peer
group, which posted a return of 2.76 percent.*

Any movement in short-term interest rates will have a roughly corresponding
effect on a money market fund's seven-day yield. After a year of Federal
Reserve tightening aimed at cooling the torrid economic growth of 1994,
interest rates began to drift lower during the first half of 1995 as growth
slowed and investors began to assume that the Fed would begin easing interest
rates. Consequently, yield on the Fund fell to 5.35 percent by June 30, 1995. 

The Fund's performance was positively affected during the past six months by
our holdings of longer-term securities. When interest rates began to drift
down early in the first quarter, we sought to lock in the previous, higher
rates by purchasing fixed-rate notes and extending our maturity slightly, from
36.6 days on December 31, 1994, to 38 days on June 30. The purchase of a
one-year callable Yankee CD at 6.62 percent also positively affected
performance.

Shortly after this six-month reporting period closed, the Federal Reserve made
a cautious, quarter-point easing move. History suggests that when the Federal
Reserve makes a move, up or down, it will follow with a similar move shortly
after. So, while it's possible that the Federal Reserve will move to ease
rates again, recent data -- including stronger-than-expected employment
numbers reported early in July 1995 -- indicate that the economy just isn't
slow enough to warrant a second move. As a result, we're maintaining a
cautious position, keeping our maturity in neutral range that will allow us to
respond quickly to changes either in the yield curve or the economy.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
<PAGE>
Valuation of Investments--Portfolio securities listed on an exchange and
over-the-counter securities quoted on the NASDAQ system are valued on the
basis of the last sale on the date as of which the valuation is made, or,
lacking any sales, at the current bid prices. Over-the-counter securities not
quoted on the NASDAQ system are valued at the latest bid quotation. For
foreign securities, security valuations are generally based upon market
quotations which, depending upon local convention or regulation, may be last
sale price, last bid or asked price, or the mean between last bid and asked
prices as of, in each case, the close of the appropriate exchange or other
designated time. Long-term debt securities are valued on the basis of
dealer-supplied quotations or valuations furnished by a pricing service which
may employ electronic data processing techniques, including the "matrix"
system to determine the valuations. Securities for which reliable quotations
are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good
faith and pursuant to procedures established by the Trustees. Money market
instruments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost unless the Trustees determine this does not represent fair
value. The Cash Income Fund values investments utilizing the amortized cost
valuation technique permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, which requires the Fund to comply with certain
conditions. This technique involves valuing a portfolio security initially at
its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any
discount or premium.

Federal Income Taxes--The Funds now qualify and intend to continue qualifying
as "regulated investment companies" and as such (and by complying with the
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code) will not be subject to
Federal income tax on taxable income (including realized capital gains)
distributed to shareholders. By making the distributions required under the
Internal Revenue Code, the Funds intend to avoid excise tax liability.

Foreign Currency Transactions--Certain Funds have entered into foreign
exchange contracts for the settlement of purchases and sales of securities
denominated in a foreign currency to reduce the risk to the Funds from adverse
changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currency.
The face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the
Fund has in that particular currency contract. In the event that the
counterparty in the foreign exchange contract fails to meet the terms of the
contract, the Fund could be exposed to the effects of changes in the
relationship between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currency.

Delayed Delivery Transactions--The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a
month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are
fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. This may increase the risk if
the other party involved in the transaction fails to deliver and causes the
Funds to subsequently invest at less advantageous yields. The Funds identify
securities as segregated in their custodial records with a value at least
equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.
<PAGE>
Discounts--Discounts on debt securities are amortized in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code requirements.

Reclassification--In accordance with the Statement of Position 93-2
Determination, Disclosure and Financial Statement Presentation of Income,
Capital Gains and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies,
permanent book and tax differences are reclassified from accumulated net gains
on investments, less distributions to paid-in-capital at fiscal year end,
December 31. Net realized gains and net assets are not affected by these
reclassifications.

In all cases, net investment income, net realized gains (losses) on
investments, and net assets were not affected by this change.
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Other--Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds have adopted
Statement of Position 93-4, Foreign Currency Accounting and Financial
Statement Presentation for Investment Companies. Accordingly, net realized and
unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include the
fluctuation in exchange rates on gains and losses between trade and settlement
dates on security transactions, gains and losses arising from the disposition
of foreign currency, and currency gains and losses between the accrual and
payment dates on dividend and interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations
are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from
investments.
<PAGE>
Note 2. Fund Share Transactions

Each Fund's capitalization consists of an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest without par value that represent a separate series of the
Trust. Each share of a Fund represents an equal proportionate beneficial
interest in that Fund and, when issued and outstanding, is fully paid and
non-assessable. Shareholders would be entitled to share proportionally in the
net assets of a Fund available for distribution to shareholders upon
liquidation of a Fund.
<PAGE>
Note 3. Security Transactions

Realized gains and losses are computed on the identified cost basis for both
financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes. At June 30, 1995, the
Managed Income and Mortgage Securities Income Funds had capital loss
carryovers of $1,706,289 and $3,168,590, respectively, which will expire in
2002, if not utilized. The cost of investments purchased and proceeds from
investments sold excluding short-term investments for the year ended June 30,
1995 for the Funds excluding Cash Income Fund were as follows:

<PAGE>
Note 4. Distributions to shareholders

The Funds, with the exception of the Cash Income Fund, intend to distribute as
dividends or capital gain distributions, at least annually, substantially all
of their net investment income and net profits realized from the sale of
portfolio securities. All dividends and distributions are reinvested in
additional shares of the Funds at net asset value as of the record date of the
distribution. The Cash Income Fund declares dividends daily and reinvests all
dividends declared monthly in additional shares at net asset value. Income and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income
tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles.
<PAGE>
Note 5. Management and Administrative Fees

The Funds have advisory and administrative agreements with the Adviser. The
following investment advisory fee rates were in effect as of June 30, 1995:

Note 6. Investment in Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks, broker-dealer firms
and other recognized financial institutions whereby such institutions sell an
instrument in which a Fund may invest to that Fund, and the seller agrees, at
the time of the sale, to repurchase that instrument at a specified time and
price. The Funds require the seller of the instrument to maintain on deposit
with the Funds' custodian bank or in the Federal Reserve Book-Entry System
securities in an amount at all times equal to or in excess of the value of the
repurchase agreement plus accrued interest. In the event that the seller of
the instrument defaults on the repurchase obligation, a Fund could receive
less than the repurchase price on the sale of the securities to another party
or could be subject to delays in selling the securities.
<PAGE>
Note 7. Substitutions

Keyport and certain of its affiliates have filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission an application for an exemptive order permitting
substitution of (i) shares of Managed Assets Fund ("MAF") for shares of
Strategic Managed Assets Fund ("SMAF") and (ii) shares of the Colonial-Keyport
Strategic Income Fund ("CKSIF") for the shares of Managed Income Fund ("MIF").
CKSIF is a series fund of the Keyport Variable Investment Trust ("KVIT"). KVIT
also is a funding vehicle for VA contracts and VLI policies of Affiliated
Participating Insurance Companies. Pending action on such application, shares
of SMAF and MIF are no longer being offered for new sales. However, additional
shares of such Funds continue to be issued prior to the effective time of such
substitutions in connection with reinvested distributions.

* Total return performance includes changes in share price and reinvestment of
income and capital gains distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of
future results. Share price and investment return will vary, so you may have a
gain or a loss when you sell shares. The peer group for Managed Assets Fund
and Strategic Managed Assets Fund, as defined by Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc., includes funds that allocate their investments across various asset
classes, including common stocks, bonds and money market instruments, with a
focus on total return. There were 62 funds in this peer group for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995. Cash Income Fund's peer group, as
defined by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., an independent monitor of mutual
fund performance, includes funds that invest in high-quality financial
instruments rated in the top two grades with dollar-weighted average
maturities of less than 90 days. There were 86 funds in this peer group for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. Managed Income Fund's peer group, as
defined by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., includes funds that invest at
least 65 percent of their assets in corporate and government debt issues rated
in the top four grades. There were 39 funds in this peer group for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995. The Lehman Corporate Bond Index is an
unmanaged group of intermediate- and long-term bonds, the Lehman
Mortgaged-backed Securities Index is an unmanaged group of mortgage-backed
securities and the S&P 500 is an unmanaged group of stocks. All of these
indices differ from the composition of each SteinRoe Fund, and each index is
not available for direct investment.
