A WORD ABOUT RISK

All of the funds are subject to certain risks, which will cause investment
returns and the value of your principal to increase or decrease. Generally,
investments offering the potential for higher returns are accompanied by a
higher degree of risk. Stocks and other equities, representing an ownership
interest in an individual company, have historically outperformed other asset
classes over the long term, but tend to fluctuate more dramatically over the
shorter term. Securities of smaller companies, and companies involved in
reorganization or bankruptcy, may have greater price swings and greater credit
and other risks.

Bonds and other debt obligations are affected by the creditworthiness of their
issuers and changes in interest rates, with prices declining as interest rates
increase. High yield, lower-rated ("junk") bonds generally have greater price
swings and higher default risks than investment grade bonds.

Foreign investing, especially in emerging market countries, has additional
risks such as changes in currency values, market price swings, and economic,
political, or social instability. These, and other risks pertaining to specific
portfolios, such as specialized industry or geographic sectors or use of
complex securities, are discussed in the prospectus. Your investment
representative can help you determine which portfolios may be right for you.

LETTER TO CONTRACT OWNERS

Dear Contract Owners:

We are pleased to bring you Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products
Trust's semiannual report for the period ended June 30, 2000.

During the first six months of 2000, many of the world's economies
strengthened, in contrast to the U.S. economy, which began to show the first
signs of slowing toward the period's end. Abroad, those countries in the
European Union were able to take advantage of the euro's weakness to bolster
exports and create jobs, pushing the region's unemployment to its lowest level
in seven years. Many Asian and Latin American emerging countries' economies
also enjoyed brisk growth during the period, with steadier consumer consumption
replacing exports and government spending as the principal foundation for
growth. The Japanese economy recently reported a 2.4% annualized increase in
its gross domestic product (GDP) for the first quarter of 2000, the highest in
four years.

It was a different story in the U.S., as the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed)
continued to raise short-term interest rates in an effort to stem what they
apparently believed was a rising inflation threat as a result of the
super-heated economy. The first signs of a slowdown appeared in March, when
retail sales, new vehicle sales and housing starts fell, and this trend
continued into June, reinforcing the possibility that the economy was indeed
decelerating.

In spite of the generally strong economic backdrop, most stock markets around
the globe ended the period in negative territory, weighed down by rising
interest rates. However, this environment affected various stocks differently,
and the end result does not tell the entire story.

For the stock markets, the beginning of the period witnessed the continuance of
many investors' ravenous appetites for "new economy" stocks -- technology,
biotechnology, telecommunications and Internet-related companies -- seemingly
at the expense of "old economy" stocks, which meant almost everything else.
Taking a cue from the end of 1999 and apparently fueled by a rapidly increasing
money supply and central bank reluctance to raise rates in anticipation of
potential Y2K problems, investors jumped into these new economy stocks, and
many rocketed in the first two months of 2000. This was most obvious

in the U.S., where at its peak on March 10, 2000, the technology-heavy
Nasdaq(R) had increased 24.1% since the start of the year, but this "tech
mania" also included technology companies in Europe and Japan, which saw the
prices of some of their hottest stocks double, triple and more.1 However, many
of these stocks ran out of gas in March with the Nasdaq falling 37.3% from its
high, as investor confidence waned following recurrent Fed interest-rate
increases. For the period, the Nasdaq returned -2.02%.

While new economy stocks were grabbing headlines, it was some of the old
economy stocks that were the best performers in the period. Supported by oil
prices hovering around $29 a barrel and natural gas prices at three-year highs,
many energy-related company stocks increased significantly. Likewise,
pharmaceutical stocks rose strongly, as investors seemed to feel that an aging
world population would likely increase the demand for such companies' products
regardless of the level of economic growth or interest rates.

U.S. Treasury and corporate bond prices were volatile in this rising
interest-rate environment, partially due to investor uncertainty over the U.S.
economy's strength. Surprisingly, many emerging market bonds posted solid
performances, bolstered by these countries' improving financial conditions.

It is important to remember, of course, that securities markets always have
been, and always will be, subject to volatility. No one can predict exactly how
they will perform in the future. For this reason, we urge you to exercise
patience and focus not on day-to-day market movements, but on your long-term
retirement and investment goals. As always, we appreciate your support, welcome
your questions and comments, and look forward to serving your investment needs
in the years ahead.

Sincerely,

                                               FRANKLIN S&P 500 INDEX FUND

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fund Goal and Primary Investments: Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund seeks to match
the performance of the Standard & Poor's(R) 500 (S&P 500(R)) Composite Stock
Price Index before the deduction of Fund expenses. The Fund uses investment
"indexing" strategies and invests in the common stocks of the S&P 500 Index in
approximately the same proportion as the S&P 500 Index.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This semiannual report of Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund covers the six months
ended June 30, 2000. During the reporting period, U.S. gross domestic product
rose an annualized 4.8% and 5.2% during the first and second quarters,
respectively. The core Consumer Price Index increased 1.46%, and the Goldman
Sachs Commodity Index, which is a composite index of a broadly diversified
spectrum of commodity sector returns, approached levels not seen in a decade.
Largely as a result of this growth, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) raised
the federal funds target rate three times during the six months under review.
These increases contributed to a softening in retail sales figures during the
period, and the Fed left rates steady at its meeting in late June.

Reflecting investor concerns about rising interest rates, U.S. equity markets,
which had broken record highs during the first half of the reporting period,
suffered severe declines in March and April. But when news was released in June
indicating that the economy might be cooling down, they rebounded
significantly. On June 30, the S&P 500 Index was down 0.42% for the six months
under review.1 Other indexes also fell during the six months under review, with
the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite Index down 9.03% and
2.02%.

Due to the limited size of the Fund early in the period, we employed a
specialized strategy to minimize transaction costs while tracking the S&P 500
Index. The strategy utilized computer-based statistical data to select a
sampling of stocks that resembled the full index in terms of industry
weighting, market capitalization and other characteristics such as beta (a
measure of volatility), price-to-book ratios, price-to-earnings ratios and
dividend yields. As the Fund grew in asset size, we shifted

utilities, financials and transportation. The S&P 500 serves as standard for
measuring large-cap U.S. stock market performance. Since some industries are
characterized by companies of relatively small stock capitalization, the index
is not composed of the 500 largest companies on the New York Stock Exchange.

to the current replication technique, wherein the Fund holds each constituent
of the index, with the exception of some minor securities, each in its
approximate capitalization weight. This replication strategy allows the Fund to
more tightly track the S&P 500 Index, with performance discrepancies generally
attributable to the Fund's cash flow and expenses. During the period under
review, the Fund slightly outperformed the index due to the positive influence
of cash inflows into the Fund as the market was declining.

As a result of changes to the S&P 500 Index, there were 24 deletions and 25
additions to the Fund's portfolio between January 1 and June 30, based upon
index rebalancing activity. Deletions to the index generally occur because of
merger and acquisition activity, bankruptcies and restructurings, or lack of
industry representation. Whenever a company is removed from the index, another
company is added to keep the number of index constituents at 500. However,
during the reporting period, we made one more addition than deletion because a
deletion to the index made on December 31, 1999, was not offset by an addition
until January 3, 2000.

Looking forward, we intend to keep the Fund's passively managed portfolio fully
invested in the S&P 500 Index by holding constituent securities. S&P 500
financial futures will be used to manage the Fund's liquidity while maintaining
exposure to the S&P 500 Index. Therefore, the Fund's performance should be
dictated by the performance of the S&P 500 Index and general U.S. equity market
conditions.

 This discussion reflects our views, opinions and portfolio holdings as of June
 30, 2000, the end of the reporting period. The information provided is not a
 complete analysis of every aspect of any industry, security, indexing strategy
 or the Fund. Our indexing strategy and the Fund's portfolio composition may
 change depending on market and economic conditions and the composition of the
 S&P 500 Index. Although historical performance is no guarantee of future
 results, these insights may help you understand our management philosophy.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY AS OF 6/30/00
Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund - Class 3 delivered a +0.24% cumulative total
return for the six-month period ended 6/30/00. Aggregate total return
represents the cumulative change in value, assuming reinvestment of dividends
and capital gains. Since Class 3 shares have existed for less than one year,
average annual total returns are not provided. The manager and administrator
had agreed in advance to waive or limit their respective fees and to assume as
their own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund so that Total
Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed 0.80% of the Fund's Class 3 net assets
through 2000. Had they not taken this action, the Fund's total return would
have been lower. After December 31, 2001, the manager and administrator may end
this arrangement at any time.

Ongoing stock market volatility can dramatically change the Fund's short-term
performance; current results may be lower.






























                          Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund - Class 3







   Performance reflects the Fund's Class 3 operating expenses, but does not
   include any contract fees, expenses or sales charges. If they had been
   included, performance would be lower. These charges and deductions,
   particularly for variable life policies, can have a significant effect on
   contract values and insurance benefits. See the contract prospectus for a
   complete description of these expenses, including sales charges.










   Since markets can go down as well as up, investment return and the value of
   your principal will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a
   gain or loss when you sell your shares.

FUND

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund (the Fund) is a separate, diversified series of
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (the Trust), which is an
open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940. As of June 30, 2000, 77% of the Fund's shares were sold through one
insurance company. The Fund seeks to match the performance of S&P 500 Index.

Effective May 1, 2000, the name of the Templeton Variable Products Series Fund
- Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund changed to Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance
Products Trust - Franklin S&P 500 Index Fund. The Fund's investment objectives
and other policies did not change as a result of the name change.

The following summarizes the Fund's significant accounting policies.

a. Security Valuation

Securities listed or traded on a recognized national exchange or NASDAQ are
valued at the latest reported sales price. Over-the-counter securities and
listed securities for which no sale is reported are valued within the range of
the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations
are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by management
in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

b. Futures Contracts

The Fund may enter into futures contracts and options on futures contracts to
hedge the risk of changes in interest rates. Required initial margin deposits
of cash or securities are maintained by the Fund's custodian in segregated
accounts as disclosed in the Statement of Investments. Subsequent payments,
known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund depending on the
daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying securities. Such variation
margin is accounted for as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is
closed, at which time the gains or losses are reclassified to realized.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statement of
Operations.

c. Income Taxes

No provision has been made for income taxes because the Fund's policy is to
qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and
to distribute substantially all of its taxable income.

d. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and
losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification
basis. Estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the funds based on
the ratio of net assets of each fund to the combined net assets. Other expenses
are charged to each fund on a specific identification basis.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than
class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon
the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

e. Offering Costs

Offering costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over twelve months.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
f. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3. Each
class of shares differs by its distribution fees, registration fees,
shareholder servicing costs, voting rights on matters affecting a single class,
and its exchange privilege.

At June 30, 2000, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized ($.01 par
value). Transactions in the Fund's shares were as follows:

Management fees were reduced on assets invested in the Franklin Institutional
Fiduciary Trust Money Market Portfolio.

The Fund pays an administrative fee to FT Services of .10% per year of the
Fund's average daily net assets.

Under a subadvisory agreement, State Street Global Advisors (SSgA) provides
subadvisory services to the Fund and receives from Advisers fees based on the

Advisers and FT Services have agreed in advance to limit total expenses of the
Fund to an annual rate of .55%, .80%, and .80% of average daily net assets of
Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3, respectively, through December 31, 2000, as
noted in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund reimburses Distributors up to .25% per year of its average daily net
assets of Class 2 and Class 3, for costs incurred in marketing the Fund's
shares.

Included in professional fees are legal fees of $180 that were paid to a law
firm in which a partner of that firm was an officer of the Fund.


4. INCOME TAXES

Net investment income differs for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily due to differing treatments of offering costs. Net realized capital
gains and losses differ for financial statements and tax purposes primarily due
to differing treatment of wash sales.

At June 30, 2000, the net unrealized appreciation based on the cost of
investments for income tax purposes of $50,097,742 was as follows:
