TERMS TO KNOW
VOLATILITY Characteristic of a security, commodity or market to rise or fall
sharply in price within a short period of time. A stock may be volatile because
the outlook for the company is particularly uncertain or because of various
other reasons.
ZERO-COUPON BOND A bond that makes no periodic interest payments but instead is
sold at a deep discount from its face value. The buyer of such a bond receives
the rate of return by the gradual appreciation of the security due to accrual of
interest. The security is redeemed at face value at maturity.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
A self-regulating economy, a balanced budget agreement and a positive stock
market all have contributed to another excellent year for investors. Given the
extended length of today's bull market (which celebrated its 15th anniversary on
August 12), it is prudent to wonder whether the end is near. Our position is
that while there is a certain precariousness to today's environment, which we
will elaborate on below, we see little to suggest that there will be more than
occasional market corrections.
Bipartisan agreement to balance the federal budget by the year 2002 represents
significant progress that should benefit investors over the long term. By
reducing the burden of capital gains and eliminating certain tax loopholes, the
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 have the
potential to meaningfully affect behavior. Now that the ceiling has been raised
on capital gains from the sale of a home, empty nesters will be more inclined to
move out of homes and into smaller condominiums. Added investment and savings
options should help boost the country's sagging savings rate. From a social
perspective, government's action to widen the difference between the taxation
rate on capital gains and on income reflects a conscious effort to encourage
capital investment. The more people and businesses can do for themselves, the
less likely they are to rely on the government, which should help restrain
federal spending.
The maximum tax on long-term capital gains is now 20 percent versus a maximum
of approximately 40 percent on ordinary income earned by Americans in the
highest income tax brackets. This dramatic difference could have some influence
on the management of mutual funds in the future. Although few investment
decisions are based on their tax consequences, the legislation supports a "buy
and hold" approach to investing, by which a mutual fund generates investment
returns through gains on investments held 18 months or longer. Such gains are
taxed at the reduced capital gains rate. On the margin, portfolio managers
should focus on long-term investing -- the strategy that we have always
supported.
In addition, mutual funds will gain investment flexibility with the new law's
repeal of what has been called the "short/short rule." Previously, investment
companies had been subject to a 30 percent limitation on total income arising
from the sale of securities held less than three months -- or face severe tax
consequences. The lifting of this limitation provides newer funds, in
particular, with much needed maneuvering ability.
You can expect to hear more from Kemper about the implications of the new
legislation, and specifically about the tax reporting changes, over the next
several weeks and months. Overall, we believe that this legislation is something
the country can be proud of. It represents years of a commitment on the part of
the federal government to hold spending in check and refrain from creating new
programs. Expanding corporate revenues and profits in an extended period of low
inflation also contributed to making this investor-friendly environment
possible.
As we look toward the end of the year, we see little to trouble us. The
economy appears to be in excellent condition. Continuing the alternatingly
fast/slow pace that we have experienced for several months, the fast-growing
first quarter was followed by a slower second quarter. Such self-regulation has
minimized any need for the Federal Reserve Board to raise interest rates again.
We don't rule out the possibility of another hike in the fourth quarter,
however.
Inflation is very low. In spite of unemployment being the lowest we have seen
in decades, wage pressures are still manageable. For example, the United Parcel
Service strike and the earlier steel and airlines work actions represent the
most union activity we have seen in 10 years. Encouraged by the low unemployment
(and therefore high demand for workers), the unions are becoming bolder but in
the end seem ready to resolve disputes sensibly. As a consequence, wage
increases remain moderate.

ECONOMIC GUIDPOSTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Economic activity is a key influence on investment performance and shareholder
decision-making. Periods of recession or boom, inflation or deflation, credit
expansion or credit crunch have a significant impact on mutual fund performance.
The following are some significant economic guideposts and their investment
rationale that may help your investment decision-making. The 10-year Treasury
rate and the prime rate are prevailing interest rates. The other data report
year-to-year percentage changes.

(1) Falling interest rates in recent years have been a big plus for financial
assets.
(2) The interest rate that commercial lenders charge their best borrowers.
(3) Inflation reduces an investor's real return. In the last five years,
inflation has been as high as 6%. The low, moderate inflation of the last
few years has meant high real returns.
(4) Changes in the exchange value of the dollar impact U.S. exporters and the
value of U.S. firms' foreign profits.
(5) These influence corporate profits and equity performance.
(6) An influence on family income and retail sales.
* Data as of June 30, 1997.
Our primary concern is the very high valuations of the stock market. All
things considered, it is difficult to see where we can go from here. With prices
at such heady levels, the market can be expected to react negatively to even
minor earnings disappointments, as we have seen in August. Kemper's response to
this market is to remain fully invested and to reduce exposure by diversifying
across a wider group of investment opportunities. Research, the first step in
stock selection, is key in this kind of a market.
Bond markets are obviously cheered by recent events, and prospects for income
investors continue to be positive. Interest rates are stable and credit quality
has not been an issue. A dwindling supply of municipal bonds has enabled
municipal investments to outperform U.S. Treasuries.
In such a fully valued domestic market, it can make sense to look to
international markets for their growth potential. The strength of the dollar
thus far this year has diminished returns but international opportunities look
bright.
With this commentary as an economic backdrop, we encourage you to read the
following detailed report of your fund, including an interview with your fund's
portfolio management. Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate the
opportunity to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,
/s/ Stephen B. Timbers

PERFORMANCE UPDATE
[McCORMICK PHOTO]
TRACY MCCORMICK CHESTER JOINED ZURICH KEMPER INVESTMENTS, INC. (ZKI) IN 1994 AND
IS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF ZKI AND VICE PRESIDENT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF
KEMPER RETIREMENT FUND SERIES VII. MCCORMICK CHESTER RECEIVED BOTH HER B.A. AND
M.B.A. DEGREES FROM MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER ONLY
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT, AS STATED ON THE COVER. THE
MANAGER'S VIEWS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME, BASED ON MARKET AND OTHER
CONDITIONS.
DESPITE A VOLATILE MARKET THAT RALLIED OVERALL BUT EXPERIENCED PERIODIC
SHARP DECLINES, THE STOCK PORTION OF KEMPER RETIREMENT SERIES VII PROVIDED
GROWTH POTENTIAL, WHILE THE ZERO-COUPON TREASURIES PROVIDED A CUSHION ON THE
DAYS THE MARKET DECLINED.
Q HOW DID LARGE COMPANY STOCKS PERFORM DURING THE PERIOD?
A As reflected in the S&P 500's return, large capitalization stocks performed
fairly well overall. However, that strong return doesn't reflect the underlying
volatility in specific areas of the market--finance and technology stocks in
particular--which experienced sharp corrections. Because the market has come a
long way in the last two years, investors are wary of any earnings shortfall
that might signal the rally is running out of steam. Often, problems with
individual stocks would tarnish a whole group, regardless of the fundamentals.
So even if your stock picking was good, you sometimes still got caught in the
crossfire.
Q HOW DID YOU RESPOND TO THESE CONDITIONS?
A There's not a lot you can do to counter a market which is rotating
quickly--that is, when sectors are being built up and then torn down again in
succession. All you can do is try to use the rotations to pick up good quality
companies at low prices once they've come down. That's where our scrupulous
attention to price targets can really add value.
Our philosophy has always been "bottom-up" stock selection. Rather than
focus on economic conditions or entire sectors, we tend to choose stocks based
on their individual merits and seek those that offer above-average growth
prospects, but are selling at what we believe to be attractive prices. To do
that we set upper and lower price targets on stocks. If a stock falls below a
certain price level, we normally buy. If it rallies above a certain price level,
we normally sell. In this way we hope to benefit from most of the ride up but
avoid most of the ride down.
Q WERE THERE ANY AREAS WHERE THE STRATEGY DIDN'T WORK?
A One area that we usually like to overweight is consumer nondurables--that
is, products that people use on a regular basis, such as soft drinks, soap, and
other household products. We usually try to have at least 20 percent of the
portfolio in such stocks, but we had lightened up on them for valuation
reasons--they were just too expensive. Consumer nondurables are usually thought
of as defensive-type stocks, since demand for them tends to be fairly constant.
The market's uncertainty caused investors to favor these types of stocks and
their prices continued to climb. We participated in some of that increase, but
not as much as we normally would have.

PERFORMANCE UPDATE
Q HAS THE MODEST BUT STEADY RISE IN INTEREST RATES INFLUENCED YOUR MANAGEMENT
STYLE?
A Only indirectly. The bonds are a relatively fixed part of the portfolio.
They will fluctuate on a day to day basis but they continue to do their job.
However, because of the bonds we tend to underweight financial stocks because we
don't want to increase the exposure to interest rates. However, we believe the
sector remains attractive due to industry consolidations, still-reasonable
valuations overall, and a lack of major loan problems. We purchased BankBoston,
a very high quality name, and broadened our financial stock exposure beyond
banks and brokerages to include more insurance companies. In particular, we
bought American General and Jefferson-Pilot, due to our belief that
consolidation within the life insurance industry will result in increased
earning power for the companies who are doing the consolidating.
Q CONVENTIONAL WISDOM SAYS THAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE MOST OFTEN OVERLOOKED WITH
SMALL COMPANY STOCKS BECAUSE THEY'RE LESS WIDELY FOLLOWED. DOES THAT MEAN
OPPORTUNITIES WITH LARGE COMPANY STOCKS ARE LESS COMMON?
A That hasn't been our experience. We've found that opportunities with big
companies can be just as overlooked. But to find those opportunities, we have to
do our homework. Our usual strategy is to look for catalysts like new
management, consolidation, or new product cycles. That has enabled us to find
good values in large company stocks like R.R. Donnelley and Stanley Works, which
stand to benefit from the fresh vision of their new managements.
Q AS YOU MENTIONED, LARGE COMPANY STOCKS HAVE ENJOYED A FAIRLY PROLONGED
RALLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. ARE YOU CONSIDERING ANY MID-CAP PURCHASES
TO ENHANCE THE FUND'S RETURN POTENTIAL?
A Right now, we're looking at a few companies in the upper mid-cap area of
the market, but we're doing so selectively. We're not about to become a mid-cap
fund ... whenever we buy relatively smaller companies, we take smaller positions
so we can quickly reduce our exposure if needed.
Regardless of the size of the company we're researching, our
price-conscious approach will remain in place. Making sure we're getting a
solid company at a good price is the most important consideration for us.

highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility

estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 DESCRIPTION OF Kemper Retirement Fund Series VII (the Fund) is a
THE FUND series of Kemper Target Equity Fund (the Trust), an
open-end, management investment company, organized
as a business trust under the laws of
Massachusetts. The objectives of the Fund are to
provide a guaranteed return of investment on the
Maturity Date (May 15, 2008) to investors who
reinvest all dividends and hold their shares to the
Maturity Date, and to provide long-term growth of
capital. The assurance that investors who reinvest
all dividends and hold their shares until the
Maturity Date will receive at least their original
investment on the Maturity Date is provided by the
principal amount of the zero coupon U.S. Treasury
obligations in the Fund's portfolio, as well as by
a guarantee from Zurich Kemper Investments, Inc.
(ZKI), the Fund's investment manager.
The Fund commenced operations on May 1, 1997 and
its initial fiscal year end was June 30.
Subsequently, the Trust changed its fiscal year end
to July 31. As a result, financial statements for
the two month period ended June 30, 1997 and the
one month period ended July 31, 1997 are presented
together in this report to shareholders.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT VALUATION. Investments are stated at
ACCOUNTING POLICIES value. Portfolio securities that are traded on a
domestic securities exchange or securities listed
on the NASDAQ National Market are valued at the
last sale price on the exchange or market where
primarily traded or listed or, if there is no
recent sale, at the last current bid quotation.
Portfolio securities that are primarily traded on
foreign securities exchanges are generally valued
at the preceding closing values of such securities
on their respective exchanges where primarily
traded. Securities not so traded or listed are
valued at the last current bid quotation if market
quotations are available. Fixed income securities
are valued by using market quotations, or
independent pricing services that use prices
provided by market makers or estimates of market
values obtained from yield data relating to
instruments or securities with similar
characteristics. Equity options are valued at the
last sale price unless the bid price is higher or
the asked price is lower, in which event such bid
or asked price is used. Financial futures and
options thereon are valued at the settlement price
established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign
currency contracts are valued at the forward rates
prevailing on the day of valuation. Other
securities and assets are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME.
Investment 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. Interest income includes
discount amortization on fixed income securities.
Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are reported on an identified cost
basis.
EXPENSES. Expenses arising in connection with a
series of the Trust are allocated to that series.
Other Trust expenses are allocated among the series
in proportion to their relative net assets.
FUND SHARE VALUATION. Fund shares are sold to the
public during a limited offering period, which may
be extended or shortened at the option of the Fund.
Fund shares are redeemed on a continuous basis and
are sold and redeemed at net asset value (plus a
commission on most sales). On each day the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading, the net asset
value per share is determined as of the earlier of
3:00 p.m. Chicago time or the close of the Exchange
by dividing the total value of the Fund's
investments and other assets, less liabilities, by
the number of shares outstanding.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Fund has complied with
the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
available to investment companies and therefore no
federal income tax provision is required. The
accumulated net realized loss on sales of
investments for federal income tax purposes at July
31, 1997, amounting to approximately $3,000, is
available to offset future taxable gains. If not
applied, the loss carryover expires during the
period 2004 through 2005.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Trust declares and
pays dividends of any net investment income and net
realized capital gains annually, which are recorded
on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are determined
in accordance with income tax principles which may
treat certain transactions differently from
generally accepted accounting principles.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AFFILIATES agreement with ZKI and the Fund pays a management
fee at an annual rate of .50% of average daily net
assets. The Fund incurred a management fee of
$1,000 for the one month ended July 31, 1997 and
$1,000 for the period ended June 30, 1997. Zurich
Investment Management Limited, an affiliate of ZKI,
