Exhibit 77Q1(e)
Kemper Target Equity Fund
Form N-SAR for the period ended 12/31/96
File No. 811-5896
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Form 1 Series)
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of December, 1996, by and
between ZURICH KEMPER INVESTMENTS, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Adviser") and ZURICH INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED, an
English corporation (the "Sub-Adviser").
WHEREAS, KEMPER TARGET EQUITY FUND, a Massachusetts business
trust (the "Fund") is a management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
WHEREAS, the Fund is authorized to issue Shares in separate
series with each representing the interests in a separate
portfolio of securities and other assets;
WHEREAS, the Fund has retained the Adviser to render to it
investment advisory and management services with regard to the
series of the Fund known as the Kemper Worldwide 2004 Fund (the
"initial series") pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement
(the "Management Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser desires at this time to retain the
Sub-Adviser to render investment advisory and management services
with respect to that portion of the portfolio of the Fund's
initial series allocated to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser for
management, including services related to foreign securities,
foreign currency transactions and related investments, and the
Sub-Adviser is willing to render such services;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the
parties hereto as follows:
1. The Adviser hereby employs the Sub-Adviser to manage
the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the initial
series of the Fund allocated by the Adviser in its sole
discretion to the Sub-Adviser for management, including services
related to foreign securities, foreign currency transactions and
related investments, in accordance with the applicable investment
objectives, policies and limitations and subject to the
supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Fund
for the period and upon the terms herein set forth, and to place
orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities for the
Fund's account with brokers or dealers selected by the
Sub-Adviser; and, in connection therewith, the Sub-Adviser is
authorized as the agent of the Fund to give instructions to the
Custodian of the Fund as to the deliveries of securities and
payments of cash for the account of the Fund. In connection with
the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such
orders, the Sub-Adviser is directed to seek for the Fund best
execution of orders. Subject to such policies as the Board of
Trustees of the Fund determines and subject to satisfying the
requirements of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Sub-Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted
unlawfully or to have breached any duty, created by this
Agreement or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the
Fund to pay a broker or dealer an amount of commission for
effecting a securities transaction in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determined in good
faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation
to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by
such broker or dealer viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities with
respect to the clients of the Sub-Adviser as to which the
Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion. The Adviser
recognizes that all research services and research that the
Sub-Adviser receives are available for all clients of the
Sub-Adviser, and that the Fund and other clients of the
Sub-Adviser may benefit thereby. The investment of funds shall
be subject to all applicable restrictions of the Agreement and
Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund as may from time to
time be in force.
The Sub-Adviser accepts such employment and agrees during
such period to render such investment management services, to
furnish related office facilities and equipment and clerical,
bookkeeping and administrative services for the Fund, to permit
any of its officers or employees to serve without compensation as
trustees or officers of the Fund if elected to such positions and
to assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation
herein provided. The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes herein
provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless
otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have no
authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Adviser in any
way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund or the Adviser.
It is understood and agreed that the Sub-Adviser, by separate
agreements with the Fund, may also serve the Fund in other
capacities.
The Sub-Adviser will keep the Fund and the Adviser informed
of developments materially affecting the Fund and shall, on the

1940, and all rules and regulations thereunder, and all
applicable laws and regulations and with any applicable

the Sub-Adviser prepares and maintains such records pursuant to
this Agreement and to preserve the records required by Rule 204-2
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 for the period
specified in that Rule.
The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will immediately notify the
Adviser and the Fund in the event that the Sub-Adviser: (i)

Sub-Adviser from serving as an investment adviser pursuant to
this Agreement; or (ii) is or expects to become the subject of an
administrative proceeding or enforcement action by the United
-3-

thereunder.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of

the Sub-Adviser has taken any action which results in a breach of
the covenants of the Sub-Adviser set forth herein.
The terms "assignment" and "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities" shall have the meanings set forth

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Form 2 Series)
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of December, 1996, by and
between ZURICH KEMPER INVESTMENTS, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Adviser") and ZURICH INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED, an
English corporation (the "Sub-Adviser").
WHEREAS, KEMPER TARGET EQUITY FUND, a Massachusetts business
trust (the "Fund") is a management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
WHEREAS, the Fund is authorized to issue Shares in separate
series with each representing the interests in a separate
portfolio of securities and other assets;
WHEREAS, the Fund has retained the Adviser to render to it
investment advisory and management services with regard to the
series of the Fund known as the Kemper Retirement Fund-Series I,
Kemper Retirement Fund-Series II, Kemper Retirement Fund-Series
III, Kemper Retirement Fund-Series IV, Kemper Retirement Fund-
Series V, Kemper Retirement Fund-Series VI (the "initial series")
pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the "Management
Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser desires at this time to retain the
Sub-Adviser to render investment advisory and management services
with respect to that portion of the portfolio of the Fund's
initial series allocated to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser for
management of foreign securities, including foreign currency
transactions and related investments, and the Sub-Adviser is
willing to render such services;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the
parties hereto as follows:
1. The Adviser hereby employs the Sub-Adviser to manage
the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the initial
series of the Fund allocated by the Adviser in its sole
discretion to the Sub-Adviser for management of foreign
securities, including foreign currency transactions and related
investments, in accordance with the applicable investment
objectives, policies and limitations and subject to the
supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Fund
for the period and upon the terms herein set forth, and to place
orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities for the
Fund's account with brokers or dealers selected by the
Sub-Adviser; and, in connection therewith, the Sub-Adviser is
authorized as the agent of the Fund to give instructions to the
Custodian of the Fund as to the deliveries of securities and
payments of cash for the account of the Fund. In connection with
the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such
orders, the Sub-Adviser is directed to seek for the Fund best
execution of orders. Subject to such policies as the Board of
Trustees of the Fund determines and subject to satisfying the
requirements of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Sub-Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted
unlawfully or to have breached any duty, created by this
Agreement or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the
Fund to pay a broker or dealer an amount of commission for
effecting a securities transaction in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determined in good
faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation
to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by
such broker or dealer viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities with
respect to the clients of the Sub-Adviser as to which the
Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion. The Adviser
recognizes that all research services and research that the
Sub-Adviser receives are available for all clients of the
Sub-Adviser, and that the Fund and other clients of the
Sub-Adviser may benefit thereby. The investment of funds shall
be subject to all applicable restrictions of the Agreement and
Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund as may from time to
time be in force.
The Sub-Adviser accepts such employment and agrees during
such period to render such investment management services, to
furnish related office facilities and equipment and clerical,
bookkeeping and administrative services for the Fund, to permit
any of its officers or employees to serve without compensation as
trustees or officers of the Fund if elected to such positions and
to assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation
herein provided. The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes herein
provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless
otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have no
authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Adviser in any
way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund or the Adviser.
It is understood and agreed that the Sub-Adviser, by separate
agreements with the Fund, may also serve the Fund in other
capacities.
The Sub-Adviser will keep the Fund and the Adviser informed
of developments materially affecting the Fund and shall, on the
Sub-Adviser's own initiative and as reasonably requested by the
Adviser or the Fund, furnish to the Fund and the Adviser from
time to time whatever information the Adviser reasonably believes
appropriate for this purpose.
The Sub-Adviser agrees that, in the performance of the
duties required of it by this Agreement, it will comply with the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Investment Company Act of
1940, and all rules and regulations thereunder, and all
applicable laws and regulations and with any applicable
procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees and identified
in writing to the Sub-Adviser.

investment portfolio accounting and shall maintain and provide
such detailed records and reports as the Adviser may from time to
time reasonably request, including without limitation, daily
processing of investment transactions and cash positions,

by the Adviser, monthly reports of the investment portfolio and
all investment transactions and the preparation of such reports
and compilation of such data as may be required by the Adviser to

to all materials, records, documents and data relating to any of
its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement including any
means for the effecting of securities transactions.

1940, as well as other applicable laws. The Sub-Adviser will

this Agreement as the Adviser or the Board of Trustees may
reasonably request.

Investment Company Act of 1940, the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees
that any records that it maintains for the Fund are the property
of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund

the Sub-Adviser prepares and maintains such records pursuant to
this Agreement and to preserve the records required by Rule 204-2
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 for the period
specified in that Rule.
