President's Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

We are pleased to bring you this semi-annual report of the status and
performance of your Funds. Your confidence in Aetna and your investment in Aetna
Mutual Funds is appreciated by all of us involved in managing your investment
and servicing your account. 

The mutual fund industry has experienced consistent, unprecedented growth since
the early 1980's. This is the result of growth in the markets and the economy, a
tradition of integrity and a commitment to servicing shareholders. Market
interruptions during this period have been brief and have not disturbed
shareholder investment behavior. We believe that when and if there is a change
in this growth cycle, shareholders should continue their consistent, long-term
investment strategies. As individual investment goals change, it is also
important for shareholders to consider their total portfolio balance and
diversification. 

During the past six months, both domestic and global economies have continued
their strong growth. In a preemptive move to hedge against inflation, the
Federal Reserve increased interest rates during this period. This increase in
interest rates contributed to the stock market decline during March and April.
Looking forward, we anticipate another, modest increase in interest rates this
year; favorable for the bond markets. We continue to be neutral to cautious
about the performance of the stock markets in 1997. 

We are pleased with the success of Aeltus Investment Management, Inc.,
subadvisor to the funds. We strive to bring you quality products and services to
help meet your retirement and investment needs. 

Thank you for investing in our funds. 

Yours sincerely,


/s/ Shaun P. Mathews
    Shaun P. Mathews
    President

performance of this class is not included.


                             Aetna Generation Funds

How did the Funds perform during the period?

Returns for the six month period ended April 30, 1997 were quite favorable as
each of the three Generation Funds (Ascent, Crossroads and Legacy) Select Class
shares, outperformed its relative benchmark index for the period. These
benchmark indices are unmanaged and are comprised of the seven stock and bond
indices listed below in weights that correspond to the particular benchmark
weights for each Fund.

What economic or financial market conditions impacted the Funds? 

Serving as a backdrop for the performance of each of the Generation Funds are
returns for the various indices for each of the asset classes in which the
Generation Funds invest:

Small Company Stocks          Russell 2000                                1.6%

++ The S&P 500 (Standard & Poor's 500) Index is a value-weighted, unmanaged
index of 500 widely held stocks that assumes the reinvestment of all dividends,
and is considered to be representative of the stock market in general. The
Russell 2000 Index consists of the smallest 2000 companies in the Russell 3000
Index, and represents approximately 10% of the Russell 3000 total market
capitalization. The 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization,
representing nearly 98% of the U.S. equity market, comprise the Russell 3000
Index. Both indices assume reinvestment of all dividends and are unmanaged. The
Morgan Stanley Capital International-Europe, Australia, Far East (MSCI EAFE)
Index is an unmanaged, market value-weighted average of the performance of more
than 900 securities listed on the stock exchanges of counties in Europe,
Australia and the Far East. The National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts (NAREIT) Equity REIT Index is an unmanaged, market-weighted average of
the performance for tax-qualified real estate investment trusts listed on the
New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, and the NASDAQ National Market
System. Salomon Brothers Broad Investment-Grade Bond Index is an unmanaged,
market-weighted index that contains approximately 4,700 individually priced
investment-grade bonds rated BBB or better. The index Includes U.S.
Treasury/Agency issues, mortgage pass-through securities, and corporate issues.
The Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index serves as an unmanaged
benchmark to evaluate the performance of government bonds with a maturity of one
year or greater in the following 12 countries: Japan, United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Denmark, Italy, Belgium, Spain, and
Sweden. Three month Treasury Bills are government-backed short-term investments
considered to be risk-free, and as good as cash because the maturity is only
three months.

During the past six months, the large company stocks that make up the S&P 500
continued to achieve returns that were well above long-term historical averages.
These returns can be attributed in part to the overall positive earnings reports
for the last two months of 1996 and the first four months of 1997. This positive
earnings growth has not been as robust for small company stocks as it has been
for large company stocks.

The continued strength of the dollar has had quite an impact on international
investments. We actively hedge out non-dollar exposure to the extent we believe
it is appropriate. Our foreign currency hedges have helped enhance our
international performance a great deal over the past six months.

What investments influenced the Funds' performance over the past six months?

In order to better control risk and pursue enhanced return potential over the
long run, the Generation Funds are designed to invest in a variety of asset
classes with varying degrees of risk. During these past six months, domestic
large company stocks, as represented by the S&P 500, had a particularly strong
showing relative to other asset classes. For example, compared to the S&P 500
return of 14.7%, the Russell 2000 Small Company Stock Index returned only 1.6%
over the period, and international stocks, as represented by the Morgan Stanley
Europe, Australia and Far East (EAFE) Index returned only 1.7%. Keep in mind,
all indices referenced are unmanaged. The Funds' performance numbers were
in-line with their relative benchmarks, although our heavy cash allocation meant
that we were somewhat too conservative in retrospect, as the large company
equity market continued to climb despite its stretched valuation level.

What is your near-term outlook for the markets and how will the Funds'
investment tactics change going forward?

We use forward earnings yield (Earnings per share/Price) of the S&P 500 as our
barometer of equity valuation, and compare it to the yield on the 10 year
government bond. The spread between these two expected return measures is what
drives our asset allocation decision. The difference between the S&P 500 forward
earnings yield and the 10 year bond yield remains unusually low, indicating that
stocks are priced higher than usual relative to bonds. Consequently, our cash
target for the funds remains relatively high.

There continues to be a wide split in value between large company and small
company domestic stocks, and we have taken advantage of this recent
underperformance to increase our small and mid-sized company stock exposure, at
the expense of large company stocks. We remain cautious regarding real estate
stocks (REITs) because of their recent run-up in price. We continue to like
selective international markets, but we remain more-or-less hedged (for
potential protection against sudden shifts in values) against the Japanese yen,
German deutschemark, and Dutch guilder.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aetna Series Fund, Inc. (Company) is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. It was incorporated under
the laws of Maryland on June 17, 1991. The Articles of Incorporation permit the
Company to offer separate funds (Funds) each of which has its own investment
objective, policies and restrictions. 

Shares of each Fund are available to all investors including employers and
employees who utilize the Funds as investment options under retirement plans.
The Funds are authorized to offer two classes of shares, the Select Class and
the Adviser Class. The Select Class is offered principally to institutions and
is not subject to sales charges or service fees. The Adviser Class shares are
offered to all others and are subject to deferred sales charges payable upon
redemption within four calendar years after the years of purchase. Additionally,
the Adviser Class Shares are subject to a Shareholder Service Fee and Rule 12b-1
distribution fees. The Adviser Class shares were first made available to the
public January 20, 1997.

The Company offers the following Funds described in this report: 

 Aetna Ascent Fund (Ascent) seeks to provide capital appreciation. 

 Aetna Crossroads Fund (Crossroads) seeks to provide total return (i.e., income
 and capital appreciation, both realized and unrealized). 

 Aetna Legacy Fund (Legacy) seeks to provide total return consistent with
 preservation of capital. 

Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (Aetna) serves as the Investment
Adviser and principal underwriter to each Fund. Aeltus Investment Management,
Inc. (Aeltus) is employed as a subadvisor to the Funds. 

The accompanying financial statements of the Funds have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts
reported therein. Although actual results could differ from these estimates, any
such differences are expected to be immaterial to the net assets of the Funds.

A. Valuation of Investments 

Investments are stated at market values based upon closing sales prices as
reported on national securities exchanges or, for over-the-counter securities,
at the mean of the bid and asked prices. Short-term investments maturing in more
than sixty days for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
current market value. Short-term investments maturing in less than sixty days
are valued at amortized cost which when combined with accrued interest
approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not
considered to be readily available are valued in good faith using methods
approved by the Board of Directors. 

42

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Valuation of Investments (continued) 

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment
securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency
are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at the end
of the period. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense
payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions. 

B. Futures and Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts 

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a
specific amount of a commodity, security or financial instrument including an
index of stocks at a set price on a future date. The Funds may enter into
futures contracts to manage the risk of changes in interest rates, equity
prices, currency exchange rates or in anticipation of future purchases and sales
of securities. 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a
broker an amount (initial margin) equal to a percentage of the purchase price
indicated by the futures contract. Subsequent deposits (variation margin) are
received or paid each day by the Funds equal to the daily fluctuations in the
market value of the contract. These amounts are recorded by the Funds as
unrealized gains or losses. When a contract is closed, the Funds record a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Generally,
futures contracts are closed prior to expiration. 

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement to pay or receive
specific amounts of a currency at a future date in exchange for another currency
at an agreed upon exchange rate. The Funds may use forward foreign currency
exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency assets. Contracts are
recorded at market value and marked-to-market daily. 

The risks associated with futures and foreign currency exchange contracts may
arise from an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the
securities held by the Funds and the price of the contracts. Risks may also
arise from an illiquid secondary market, or from the inability of counterparties
to meet the terms of the contracts. 

Realized and unrealized gains or losses on futures and foreign currency exchange
contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. For federal
income tax purposes, any futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange
contracts which remain open at year end are marked-to-market and the resultant
net gain or loss is included in federal taxable income.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Illiquid and Restricted Securities

Illiquid securities are securities that are not readily marketable. Disposing of
illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses,
and it may be difficult or impossible for the Funds to sell them promptly at an
acceptable price. Restricted securities are subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under
the Federal Securities Act of 1933, under Rule 144A or, are securities offered
pursuant to section 4(2). Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in
illiquid securities. Illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market
quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the
securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures
approved by the Board of Directors. The Funds will not pay the costs of
disposition of restricted securities other than ordinary brokerage fees, if any.

D. Federal Income Taxes 

As a qualified regulated investment company, each Fund is relieved of federal
income and excise taxes by distributing its net taxable investment income and
capital gains, if any, in compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code. 

E. Distributions 

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are
primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions and
losses deferred due to wash sales. 

F. Other 

Investment transactions are accounted for on the day following trade date,
except same day settlements which are accounted for on the trade date. Interest
income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities
purchased are amortized over the life of the respective security. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from
investment transactions are determined on an identified cost basis. 

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Investment Advisory, Management, Shareholder Service and Distribution Fees
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund pays the Investment Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.80%
of its average daily net assets. As each Fund's net assets exceed predetermined
thresholds, lower advisory fees are applied.

44

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Investment Advisory, Management, Shareholder Service and Distribution Fees
   (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the terms of a Subadvisory Agreement among the Funds, Aetna and Aetna's
affiliate, Aeltus, Aeltus supervises the investment and reinvestment of cash and
securities and provides certain related administrative services for each Fund in
exchange for fees, payable by Aetna, of up to 0.50% of each Funds' average daily
net assets. For the period ended April 30, 1997, Aetna paid Aeltus $156,867 in
accordance with the terms of the agreement. 

The Company has entered into an administrative services agreement under which
Aetna acts as administrator and provides certain administrative and shareholder
services and is responsible for the supervision of other service providers for
each Fund. Each Fund pays Aetna a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its
average daily net assets. As each Fund's net assets exceed predetermined
thresholds, lower advisory fees apply. 

The Funds have adopted a Shareholder Services Plan for the Adviser Class Shares.
Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Aetna is paid a service fee at an annual
rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets of the Adviser Class of each Fund.
This fee is used as compensation for expenses incurred in servicing shareholders
accounts. For the period ended April 30, 1997, the Funds paid Aetna $111 in
service fees. 

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of The
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Distribution Plan provides for payments to
Aetna at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Adviser
Class Shares of each Fund. Amounts paid by the Funds are used to pay expenses
incurred by Aetna in promoting the sale of the Adviser Class Shares. For the
period ended April 30, 1997, the Funds paid Aetna $221 in Rule 12b-1 fees. The
plan may be terminated upon a majority vote of the Fund's independent directors.

Presently, the Funds' class-specific expenses are limited to Shareholder
Services and Distribution Plan expenses incurred by the Adviser Class shares.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments,
for the period ended April 30, 1997 were:
