Dear VariFund Investor:

Enclosed you will find the 1998 Annual Report for the Canada Life of America 
Series Fund, Inc., (the "Fund"), which provides six underlying investment 
choices within your VariFund( Variable Annuity.  This report includes a 
schedule of investments for each of the six Series of the Fund (Money Market, 
Managed, Bond, Value Equity, International Equity and Capital) and the 
financial statements for the Fund.

Strong U.S. economic fundamentals were sustained throughout 1998.  Gross 
Domestic Product increased 3.7%.  Impressively, inflation was very contained, 
in spite of budding wage pressures and a 25-year low in unemployment.  The 
consensus view is that the tight labor market and rising wages will continue 
to be negated by the disinflationary affect of all of the global uncertainty 
and an expected slowdown in U.S. economic growth.

U.S. financial markets enjoyed a very good year.  To the surprise of many, 
equity returns exceeded 20% for an unprecedented fourth consecutive year.  
Excellent corporate profitability combined with declining interest rates were 
again the favorable factors propelling prices.  Fixed income instruments 
enjoyed solid, if less spectacular, high single digit returns.  Importantly 
for bonds, the biggest surprise of the year was the absence of inflation.  

VariFund investment results were mixed.  International equity performance, 
which had been excellent, was affected by the global turmoil.  The Bond Fund 
return was quite acceptable on an absolute basis, given our low risk profile.  
The Value Equity fund had a difficult year given its underweight in both large 
capitalization and technology stocks.  The Managed Fund returns were 
negatively affected by the performance of the equity portfolio.  With U.S. 
financial prices seemingly priced for perfection, we are committed to managing 
your capital with an emphasis on safety.

The Canada Life of America Series Fund, Inc., and the Fixed Account option 
provide you with 7 of the 23 investment options available in the VariFund 
Variable Annuity for your financial retirement goals.

Sincerely,




R.E. Beettam
President

Performance Update - $10,000 Over Life of Fund

Canada Life of America Series Fund, Inc.:  International Equity Series

/GRAPH/

$10,000 Over Life of Fund:  Assume $10,000 was invested in the International 
Equity Series Fund at inception, April 24, 1995.  By December 31, 1998, the 
value of the fund with dividends would have grown to $14,944.33 - a 49.44% 
increase.

Average Annual Total Returns for the period ended December 31, 1998


				One Year	Five Year	Life of Fund
CLASF International Equity	  113.37%	   NA		   11.50%
MSCI EAFE Index			   20.33%	   NA		    8.76%

Manager's Discussion:

The International Equity Series Fund gained 13.37% for the year versus a 
benchmark return of 20.33% for the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index. The EAFE Index 
outperformed because of its lack of exposure to emerging markets.  Most of 
these declined sharply in the second quarter in a consequence of the Asian 
flu and then third quarter performance was hindered by the fallout from the 
Russian devaluation.

Looking forward, we do not expect a global recession to occur in the near 
term.  We do believe, however, that corporate profit momentum will continue 
to slow as the effects of the Asian and Latin American flue work their way 
through the system.

Performance Update - $10,000 Over Life of Fund

Canada Life of America Series Fund, Inc.:  Capital Series



$10,000 Over Life of Fund:  Assume $10,000 was invested in the Capital Series 
Fund at inception, April 23, 1993.  By December 31, 1998, the value of the 
fund with dividends would have grown to $23,690.91 - a 136.91% increase.

Average Annual Total Returns for the period ended December 31, 1998 


			One Year	Five Year	Life of Fund
CLASF Capital		 20.23%		  16.82%	   16.36%
S&P 500 Index		 28.52%		  24.10%	   18.59%
Russell 2000 Index	 -2.60%	 	  11.90%	   13.23%

Manager's Discussion:

The economic expansion continued in 1998, supporting earnings and low 
interest rates.  While the financial markets responded reaching new highs, 
large-capitalization and technology stocks were the primary beneficiaries of 
the ideal economic background.  Despite high valuations, investors moved more 
assets into large-caps due to the liquidity found there.  This trend was only 
reinforced by the continuing global uncertainty.  While mid-capitalization 
stocks did not experience the same run-up in valuations as was found among 
their large-cap counterparts, they still performed well for the year.

Going forward, the valuations and growth opportunities found in mid-cap 
stocks still offer significant value relative to large-cap stocks.  As mid-
cap companies tend to have a greater portion of operations linked to the 
domestic markets, they are less exposed to the eventual repercussions of the 
global financial crisis than large multinational companies.  We believe that 
this difference in international exposure, combined with more attractive 
valuations and greater future earnings growth potential, could attract 
investor attention to mid-cap stocks in 1999.

Performance Update - $10,000 Over Life of Fund

Canada Life of America Series Fund, Inc.: Value Equity Series

/GRAPH/

$10,000 Over Life of Fund:  Assume $10,000 was invested in the Value Equity 
Series Fund at inception, December 4, 1989.  By December 31, 1998, the value 
of the fund with dividends would have grown to $ 26,123.82- a 161.24% 
increase.

			One Year	Five Year	Life of Fund
CLASF Value Equity	  2.81%	 	 11.98%		   11.16%
S & P 500 Index		 28.52%	   	 24.10%		   17.84%

Manager's Discussion:

In 1998, the Value Equity Series Fund returned 2.81% for the year.  It was a 
disappointing performance.  Our investment approach of looking for high 
quality middle capitalization companies could not keep up with the 
performance of large capitalization stocks. 

The S&P 500 continued to sell at unprecedented levels relative to dividends, 
operating earnings, net asset value, and gross national product.  We believe 
that caution is warranted buying shares of companies selling at significant 
discounts to intrinsic value should serve us well in such an environment.

Canada Life of America Series Fund, Inc.:  Bond Series

$10,000 Over Life of Fund:  Assume $10,000 was invested in the Bond Series 
Fund at inception, December 4, 1989.  By December 31, 1998, the value of the 
fund with dividends would have grown to $19,924.36 - a 99.24% increase.

Average Annual Total Returns for the period ended December 31, 1998


				One Year	Five Year	Life of Fund
CLASF Bond			  9.00%		  6.70%		    7.89%
Lehman Brothers G/C Bond Index	  9.47%		  7.30%		    8.74%

Manager's Discussion:

In 1998 total return for the Bond Series was 9.00%.  This return lagged the 
benchmark, Lehman Brothers Government Corporate Bond Index, which posted a 
9.47% return for the twelve months ending December 31.

The year 1998 was dominated by volatility.  As global events caused turmoil 
in international and domestic equity markets, bonds performed well.  
Disinflation and deflation were topics of discussion as problems in Indonesia 
caused other Asian economies to falter.  Other countries with persistent 
problems throughout the year included Japan, Russia, Brazil, Venezuela and 
China.

We continue to hold high quality liquid assets.  These should outperform, in 
either an economic slowdown or a liquidity flight to quality.

Manager's Discussion:

During 1998, the Managed Series appreciated 5.15%, a modest result given our 
low risk profile.  To the surprise of most, U.S. equity returns exceeded 20% 
for an unprecedented fourth consecutive year. Valuations appeared expensive 
in early 1998 but continued to climb throughout the year.  For the fourth 
straight year big stocks topped small stocks. 

Bonds enjoyed solid returns in 1998. Our equity performance was hurt by our 
under exposure to large capitalization and technology stocks.  We are neutral 
vis-.-vis our benchmark.

* The total return and the change in value of the portfolio shown above 
reflect the advisory fee and all other portfolio expenses and include the 
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, they do not reflect the charges 
against the corresponding subaccounts under the applicable annuity policy.  
The indexes referred to above are unmanaged and are used as a general measure 
of market performance; they assume reinvestment of dividends and capital 
gains and do not include any management or investment expenses.  Figures for 
more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of return and are not the 
fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated over the periods shown.  The 
life of fund figures are from commencement of operations, December 4, 1989.  
The portfolio's investment return and net asset value per share will 
fluctuate.  Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
