DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

We are pleased to provide this report for CIGNA Variable Products S&P 500 Index
Fund (the "Fund"), covering the six months ended June 30, 2000.

THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
The only constant in the U.S. equity markets during the first quarter of the new
millennium seemed to be volatility. Investors moved between bargain hunting in
"old economy" stocks and perceived opportunities for relative value rotation
within "new economy" stocks.

Many of the large cap high technology names which had achieved new highs in the
final days of 1999, including Microsoft, Yahoo!, Lucent and America Online, were
down from their highs 15% to 25% by the end of January -- dragging the S&P
500(R) Index with them. By February 25, the Index had declined 8%. However, the
trend toward value stocks was dramatically reversed in March, as investors
returned to high growth technology names, driving the Index to its single
highest monthly return -- 9.7% -- in nine years. As a result, the S&P 500(R)
rebounded to provide a 2.29% return for the full quarter. The Fund performed in
line with the Index for the same period, generating a net total return of 2.19%.

During the second quarter, U.S. equity markets were heavily influenced by events
unfolding in the domestic fixed income markets. Despite several early signals
that growth was slowing, the Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to raise interest
rates, increasing the federal funds rate to 6.50% in May, its highest level
since 1991.

Projected capital cost increases and wage pressures, along with several
high-profile reported earnings misses, pulled the S&P 500(R) Index down 5% over
the first two months of the quarter. However, later in the quarter U.S. equity
markets staged a mild rally, convinced that the state of fixed income markets
provided further evidence of an economic slowdown. Consequently, rates were left
unchanged at the Fed's June meeting.

The S&P 500(R) Index was able to recover a portion of its previous losses,
finishing with a quarterly total return of -2.66%. On a year-to-date basis, the
return of the Index is down 0.42%, which represents its first negative
semi-annual return since 1994. In this environment, the Fund has closely tracked
its benchmark, generating a -2.70% net total return during the quarter and a
-0.57% return year-to-date.

"Old economy" stocks, whose earnings are perceived to be most vulnerable to
increasing costs of capital, continued to suffer most. These "value" stocks
became an even greater value during the quarter, as the S&P 500/BARRA Value
Index, which lost 4.30%, lagged the results of the S&P 500/BARRA Growth Index,
which lost 1.47%. Mid-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400/BARRA Value
Index, which slipped 3.30%, gave back some of their considerable first quarter
gains, while the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, which advanced 1.01%, generated the
most attractive returns.

Technology stocks, which remain the single largest sector of the Index,
continued to forfeit previous gains. Returns for this group were further
depressed by Microsoft's antitrust woes, as the software giant finished the
quarter with a -9.20% total return. Defensive stocks gained on growing
expectations of an economic slowdown; the health care, consumer staples, energy
and utilities sectors were the best performers.

As was the case in the first quarter, the growing market breadth has continued
to afford active managers the opportunity to outperform passive managers.
According to Lipper Analytical Services, the majority of stock funds have
outperformed the

S&P500(R) for the first half of 2000, although results posted by both types of
managers have lagged the results of the average money market account.

OUTLOOK
Second quarter results continue to reinforce the view that the Fed's interest
rate hikes to date should successfully produce a soft landing for the economy. A
shift in assets from overpriced technology names to undervalued and ignored
components of the equity markets has already begun. However, while specific
sectors appear to be capable of delivering solid returns, the broad equity
market, as represented by the S&P500(R) Index, will be faced with a number of
challenges over the remainder of the year. The cash flows into equity mutual
funds that have supported market levels for some time have slowed significantly,
according to the Investment Company Institute. Additionally, the wealth effect
that has fueled demand appears to be dissipating. Sustained increases in
corporate borrowing rates and rising business costs for labor and energy have
begun to erode profit margins. Although earnings growth has surpassed its peak,
earnings disappointments are likely to increase. However, an economic slowdown
should support positive, yet unspectacular, equity returns going forward.

Sincerely,


/s/ Richard H. Forde

CIGNA VARIABLE PRODUCTS S&P 500 INDEX FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      12
(Unaudited)


1. UTILIZATION OF INDEXATION APPROACH. CIGNA Variable Products S&P 500 Index
Fund (the "Fund") seeks to achieve its long term growth objective by attempting
to replicate the total return performance, reduced by Fund expenses, of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The Fund is a separate series of CIGNA
Variable Products Group, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"). The Trust
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the
preparation of its financial statements.

A. SECURITY VALUATION - Equity securities, including warrants, that are listed
on a national securities exchange or part of the NASDAQ National Market System
are valued at the last sale price or, if there has been no sale that day, at the
last bid price. Debt and other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter
market, including listed securities whose primary markets are believed to be
over-the-counter, are valued at the most recent bid price. Short-term
investments with remaining maturities of up to and including 60 days are valued
at amortized cost, which approximates market. Short-term investments that mature
in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations. Other securities
and assets of the Fund are appraised at fair value as determined in good faith
by, or under the authority of, the Trust's Board of Trustees.

FUTURES CONTRACTS - The Fund may purchase Standard & Poor's 500 futures
contracts with the objective of earning returns on its short-term investments
equivalent to returns on the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.
As a result, the purchase of futures contracts simulates a fully invested
position in the underlying index while maintaining liquidity. Upon entering into
a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of
cash and/or securities equal to the initial margin requirements. During the
period a futures contract is open, changes in the value of a contract are
recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis
to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day's trading.
Daily variation margin payments are received or made, depending on whether there
are unrealized gains or losses. When a contract is closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures
contracts include the risk that a change in the value of the contract may not
correlate with the value of the underlying securities.

B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME - Security transactions
are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed).
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Securities gains and losses are determined on the
basis of identified cost.

C. FEDERAL 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 and capital gains, if any,
to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise taxes on realized
income have been accrued.

(Unaudited) (Continued)


D. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Dividends and distributions are
recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. Payments in excess of financial
accounting income due to differences between financial and tax accounting, to
meet the minimum distribution requirements for tax basis income, are deducted
from paid in capital when such differences are determined to be permanent.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Investment
advisory fees are paid or accrued to TimesSquare Capital Management, Inc.
("TimesSquare"), certain officers and directors of which are affiliated with the
Fund. Such advisory fees are based on an annual rate of 0.25% applied to the
daily average net assets of the Fund. TimesSquare has voluntarily agreed to
reimburse the Fund for any amount by which its expenses (including the advisory
fee but excluding interest, taxes, amortized organization expenses, transaction
costs incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, and
extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets until April 30,
2001, and afterwards to the extent described in the Fund's prospectus.

For administrative services, the Fund reimburses TimesSquare for a portion of
the compensation and related expenses of the Fund's Treasurer and Secretary and
certain persons who assist in carrying out the responsibilities of those
offices. For the six months ending June 30, 2000, the Fund paid or accrued
$54,270.

TimesSquare is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation.

4.  TRUSTEES' FEES.  Trustees' fees represent remuneration paid or accrued to
trustees who are not employees of CIGNA Corporation or any of its affiliates.
Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their fees which are
invested in mutual fund shares in accordance with a deferred compensation plan.

5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES. Purchases and sales of securities,
excluding short-term obligations, aggregated $29,813,679 and $6,313,915,
respectively, for the six months ending June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 2000, the
cost of securities, excluding short term obligations, held for federal income
tax purposes was $202,489,087. At June 30, 2000, unrealized appreciation for
federal income tax purposes aggregated $111,237,769, of which $120,331,081
related to appreciated securities and $9,093,312 related to depreciated
securities.

6. CAPITAL STOCK. The Fund offers an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest without par value. Of the 13,837,168 shares outstanding at June 30,
2000, 13,682,172 shares were held by Connecticut General Life Insurance Company
("CG Life") relating to variable annuity and variable universal life insurance
contracts issued by CG Life. The remainder, representing 1.1% of the shares
outstanding, was held by an employee benefit plan established by CG Life for
certain of its employees.
