PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders of Federated
Mini-Cap Fund for the six-month period from November 1, 1995 through April 30,
1996. The report begins with an investment review, followed by the fund's
portfolio and its financial statements.

Federated Mini-Cap Fund is designed to perform in sync with the Russell 2000
Index, an unmanaged index consisting of the 2,000 common stocks of companies
whose market capitalization generally falls just below the top 1,000 large and
mid-cap companies. The average market capitalization of these companies is $288
million.**

In an extremely positive environment for small-company stocks, the fund produced
a total return of 17.40% over the six-month period.* Contributing to those
returns were dividend income of $0.09 per share, capital gains of $0.72 per
share, and a 10% increase in net asset value. Between the first and last day of
the report period, the fund's net assets rose from $132.4 million to $160.3
million.

Thank you for participating in this efficient approach to pursuing the growth
potential of small-cap stocks. As always, we invite your comments and
suggestions.

Sincerely,

LOGO
Glen R. Johnson
President
June 15, 1996

INVESTMENT REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fund's total return for the 6 months ended April 30, 1996, was 17.40%.* The
target index, the Russell 2000 Index (the "Index"), had a total return of 18.40%
during the period.** The fund's performance varied from the Index due to
transaction costs, administrative expenses, and holdings of stock index futures
contracts, which are held to enhance fund liquidity. It is important to note
that transactions costs for small company stocks are much higher than that for
large company stocks due to illiquidity factors, i.e., there are sometimes very
few buyers and sellers of small company stocks.

The U.S. stock market continued its steady climb in the last six months. The
market appears to be driven by strong cash flows into equity mutual funds and
mostly favorable economic news, despite a recent increase in interest rates.
Some investment strategists are warning that strong cash flows from sources such
as 401(k) plans have pushed stock prices to unsustainable levels, making the
market subject to a significant price correction. However, most investors have
shrugged off these warnings and continue to believe the stock market will
provide strong investment returns over the long-term.

During the last six months, energy, technology and health care were among the
strongest performing sectors while consumer staples, utilities, and financial
services were among the worst performing sectors in the Index.

During the period, management also lowered the target range for the fund's
liquidity position, i.e., the percentage of the fund held in cash and stock
index futures contracts. It is intended that this policy change reduce the level
of short-term capital gains, which are generated from rolling (regularly buying
and selling) stock index futures in a rising market. Since the fund must
distribute all capital gains at the end of the calendar year, management hopes
this policy change will then reduce the tax liabilities of those investors
subject to income taxes.

 * Performance quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of
   future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that
   an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
   original cost.

** This index is unmanaged. Actual investments may not be made in an index.

FEDERATED MINI-CAP FUND
(FORMERLY, MINI-CAP FUND)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) ORGANIZATION

Federated Index Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end, management investment
company. The Trust consists of three portfolios. The financial statements
included herein are only those of Federated Mini-Cap Fund (the "Fund"), a
diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are
presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a
shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The
Fund seeks to provide investment results corresponding to the aggregate price
and dividend performance of publicly traded common stocks comprising the
small-stock capitalization sector of the United States equity market.

Effective December 5, 1994, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") changed the name
of the Fund from Mini-Cap Fund to Federated Mini-Cap Fund.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale
     price reported on a national securities exchange. Short-term securities are
     valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However,
     short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at
     the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates
     fair market value.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Fund to require the
     custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the
     Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the
     custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase
     agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by
     the Fund to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase
     agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least
     equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement
     transaction.

     The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
     recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
     by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
     standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the
     "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties
     to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could
     receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral
     securities.


FEDERATED MINI-CAP FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Interest income and expenses
     are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized
     as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Dividend
     income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
     date.

     FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
     Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
     shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
     provisions for federal tax are necessary.

     WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Fund may engage in
     when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
     securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that
     sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the
     securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed
     delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the
     settlement date.

     FUTURES CONTRACTS--The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to
     manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction
     costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the
     Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of
     cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and
     unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account.
     Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of
     cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is
     closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. For the period ended
     April 30, 1996, the Fund had $222,820 realized gains on future contracts.

     Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in
     the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of
     the underlying securities.

     At April 30, 1996, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as set forth
     below:

</TABLE>


     USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities,
     expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results
     could differ from those estimated.

     OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders of Federated
Mid-Cap Fund for the six-month period from November 1, 1995 through April 30,
1996. The report begins with an investment review, followed by the fund's
portfolio and its financial statements.

Through Federated Mid-Cap Fund, investors can seek performance that tracks that
of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index (S&P 400), an unmanaged index
consisting of 400 common stocks issued by medium-sized domestic companies with a
median market capitalization of $1.1 billion. Stocks in the fund are weighted in
the same proportion as the stocks that make up the S&P 400, except when the
percentage is too minor to efficiently replicate.**

In a very positive environment for mid-cap stocks, the fund produced a total
return of 12.77% over the six-month period.* Contributing to those returns were
dividend income of $0.12 per share, capital gains of $0.74 per share, and a 5%
increase in net asset value. On the last day of the report period, the fund's
net assets stood at $55.6 million.

Thank you for participating in this efficient approach to pursuing the growth
potential of mid-cap stocks. As always, we invite your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely,

LOGO
Glen R. Johnson
President
June 15, 1996

INVESTMENT REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fund's total return for the 6 months ended April 30, 1996, was 12.77%.* The
target index, the Standard & Poor's 400 MidCap Index (the "Index") had a total
return of 13.87% during the period.** The fund's performance varied from the
Index due to transaction costs, administrative expenses, and holdings of stock
index futures contracts, which are held to enhance fund liquidity.

The U.S. stock market continued its steady climb in the last six months. The
market appears to be driven by strong cash flows into equity mutual funds and
mostly favorable economic news, despite a recent increase in interest rates.
Some investment strategists are warning that strong cash flows from sources such
as 401(k) plans have pushed stock prices to unsustainable levels, making the
market subject to a significant price correction. However, most investors have
shrugged off these warnings and continue to believe the stock market will
provide strong investment returns over the long-term.

During the last six months, communications equipment, computer hardware, and
leisure services were among the strongest performing sectors, while
homebuilding, office products, and air freight were among the worst performing
sectors in the Index.

During the period, management also lowered the target range for the fund's
liquidity position, i.e., the percentage of the fund held in cash and stock
index futures contracts. It is intended that this policy change reduce the level
of short-term capital gains, which are generated from rolling (regularly buying
and selling) stock index futures in a rising market. Since the fund must
distribute all capital gains at the end of the calendar year, management hopes
this policy change will then reduce the tax liabilities of those investors
subject to income taxes.

 * Performance quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of
   future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that
   an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
   original cost.

** The index is unmanaged. Actual investments may not be made in an index.

corresponding to the aggregate price and dividend performance of the publicly
traded common stocks that comprise the mid-level stock capitalization sector of
the United States equity market.

Effective December 5, 1994, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") changed the name
of the fund from Mid-Cap Fund to Federated Mid-Cap Fund.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale
     price reported on a national securities exchange. Short-term securities are
     valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However,
     short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at
     the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates
     fair market value.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Fund to require the
     custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the
     Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the
     custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase
     agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by
     the Fund to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase
     agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least
     equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement
     transaction.

     The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
     recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
     by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
     standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the
     "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties
     to honor the terms of the


FEDERATED MID-CAP FUND
(FORMERLY, MID-CAP FUND)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could receive less than the
     repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

     INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Interest income and expenses
     are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized
     as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Dividend
     income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
     date.

     FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
     Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
     shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
     provisions for federal tax are necessary.

     WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Fund may engage in
     when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
     securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that
     sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the
     securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed
     delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the
     settlement date.

     DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by the Fund with respect to
     registration of its shares in its first fiscal year, excluding the initial
     expense of registering its shares, have been deferred and are being
     amortized using the straight-line method over a period of five years from
     the Fund's commencement date.

     FUTURES CONTRACTS--The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to
     manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction
     costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the
     Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of
     cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and
     unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account.
     Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of
     cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is
     closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. For the period ended
     April 30, 1996, the Fund had realized losses of $212,135 on futures
     contracts.

     Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in
     the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of
     the underlying securities.

     At April 30, 1996, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as set forth
     below:

     USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the


FEDERATED MID-CAP FUND
(FORMERLY, MID-CAP FUND)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the
     financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

     OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.

(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value).

MANAGEMENT FEE--Federated Management, the Fund's manager, ("Manager"), receives
for its services an annual management fee equal to .40% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. Under the terms of a sub-advisory agreement between the
Manager and the Trust Division of ANB Investment Management and Trust Company
("Sub-Manager"), the Sub-Manager receives an annual fee from the Manager equal
to .035% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, the Sub-Manager
may voluntarily choose to reduce its compensation. The Manager may voluntarily
choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Manager can modify or terminate this
voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the
Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative
personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on the level of average
aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated
Investors for the period. The administrative fee received during the period of

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders of Federated
Max-Cap Fund for the six-month period from November 1, 1995 through April 30,
1996. The report begins with an investment review, followed by the fund's
portfolio and its financial investments.

Federated Max-Cap Fund is managed passively to closely mirror the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), an unmanaged index composed of 500 common stocks of
the nation's largest corporations. The S&P 500, a classic benchmark of overall
stock market performance, includes stocks in industry, transportation,
financial, and public utilities. Stocks in the fund's portfolio are generally
weighted in the same proportions as stocks in the S&P 500.**
In a highly positive environment for stocks, the fund produced a total return of
13.54% for Institutional Shares and 13.47% for Institutional Service Shares for
the six-month period ended April 30, 1996.* Contributing to those returns were
dividend income of $0.22 per share and capital gains of $2.03 per share for
Institutional Shares and dividend income of $0.19 per share and capital gains of
$2.03 per share for Institutional Shares. Between the first and last day of the
report period, the fund's net assets rose from $714.4 million to $755.4 million.

Thank you for participating in this efficient approach to pursuing the growth
potential of the S&P 500. As always, we invite your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely,

LOGO
Glen R. Johnson
President
June 15, 1996

INVESTMENT REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fund's total returns for Institutional Shares and Institutional Service
Shares for the 6 months ended April 30, 1996, were 13.54% and 13.47%,
respectively.*

The target index, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (the "Index") had a total
return of 13.76% during the period.** Share class performance varied from the
Index due to transaction costs, administrative expenses, and holdings of stock
index futures contracts, which are held to enhance fund liquidity.

The U.S. stock market continued its steady climb in the last six months. The
market appears to be driven by strong cash flows into equity mutual funds and
mostly favorable economic news, despite a recent increase in interest rates.
Some investment strategists are warning that strong cash flows from sources such
as 401(k) plans have pushed stock prices to unsustainable levels, making the
market subject to a significant price correction. However, most investors have
shrugged off these warnings and continue to believe the stock market will
provide strong investment returns over the long-term.

During the last six months, oil and gas, apparel retailing, and electronic
defense were among the strongest performing sectors, while trucking,
broadcast/media, and homebuilding were among the worst performing sectors in the
Index.

During the period, management also lowered the target range for the fund's
liquidity position, i.e., the percentage of the fund held in cash and stock
index futures contracts. It is intended that this policy change reduce the level
of short-term capital gains, which are generated from rolling (regularly buying
and selling) stock index futures in a rising market. Since the fund must
distribute all capital gains at the end of the calendar year, management hopes
this policy change will then reduce the tax liabilities of those investors
subject to income taxes.

 * Performance quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of
   future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that
   an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
   original cost.

** This Index is unmanaged. Actual investments may not be made in an index.

FEDERATED MAX-CAP FUND
(FORMERLY, MAX-CAP FUND)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) ORGANIZATION

Federated Index Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end, management investment
company. The Trust consists of three portfolios. The financial statements
included herein are only those of Federated Max-Cap Fund (the "Fund"), a
diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are
presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a
shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The
Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Institutional
Service Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment
results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of
publicly-traded common stocks, by duplicating the composition of the Index.

Effective December 5, 1994, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") changed the name
of the Fund from Max-Cap Fund to Federated Max-Cap Fund.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale
     price reported on a national securities exchange. Short-term securities are
     valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However,
     short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at
     the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates
     fair market value.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Fund to require the
     custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the
     Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the
     custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase
     agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by
     the Fund to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase
     agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least
     equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement
     transaction.

     The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
     recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
     by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
     standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the
     "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties
     to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could
     receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral
     securities.


FEDERATED MAX-CAP FUND
(FORMERLY, MAX-CAP FUND)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Interest income and expenses
     are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized
     as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Dividend
     income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
     date.

     FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
     Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
     shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
     provisions for federal tax are necessary.

     WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Fund may engage in
     when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
     securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that
     sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the
     securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed
     delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the
     settlement date.

     DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by the Fund with respect to
     registration of its shares in its first fiscal year, excluding the initial
     expense of registering its shares, have been deferred and are being
     amortized using the straight-line method over a period of five years from
     the Fund's commencement date.

     FUTURES CONTRACTS--The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to
     manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction
     costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the
     Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of
     cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and
     unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account.
     Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of
     cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is
     closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. For the period ended
     April 30, 1996, the Fund had realized gains $10,659,183 on future
     contracts.

     Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in
     the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of
     the underlying securities. At April 30, 1996, the Fund had outstanding
     futures contracts as set forth below:

</TABLE>


     USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities,
     expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results
     could differ from those estimated.
