MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Most stock and bond markets rebounded in 1995, after experiencing
volatility and inconsistent returns in 1994. Returns were fueled by
declining interest rates, moderate economic growth, sustained corporate
earnings growth and a relative absence of inflation. The U.S. stock market
outpaced counterparts in the developed world and those in emerging markets.
Returns from bond markets overseas generally topped those provided by the
U.S., although the U.S. bond market still was quite strong.
U.S. STOCK MARKETS
The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a broad measure of
U.S. stock performance - rose 37.58% for the 12 months ended December 31,
1995, well above the market's long-term average annual return. The NASDAQ
Composite Index - a measure of small stock performance - rose 39.92%
(excluding dividends). The Dow Jones Industrial Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - posted a return of 36.72%, closing above 5000 for the
first time in November.
Strong corporate earnings and a favorable interest rate environment helped
the U.S. stock market post robust returns. With inflation posing little
threat, interest rates fell during much of 1995. The Federal Reserve Board
cut short-term interest rates twice, in July and December. Lower interest
rates helped bolster earnings, as they reduced companies' borrowing costs.
A relatively weak dollar also helped sustain earnings, with American
products and services remaining fairly cheap overseas. Investor sentiment
toward the stock market was extremely positive, evidenced by a flurry of
successful initial public offerings throughout the year.
Market activity was marked by rapid sector rotation, with investors
reacting swiftly to breaking news. Technology was one of the best
performing market sectors until the fourth quarter, fueled by improving
earnings associated with strong growth in personal computers and related
products. Internet-related stocks posted extremely strong share price
gains. Although increases in cellular subscriptions helped semiconductor
stocks earlier in the year, that industry saw share price drops later in
the year due to concerns about over-capacity. Expanding inventories and
evidence of an economic slowdown hurt technology stocks later in the year.
Biotechnology issues saw a resurgence, partly because the sector had
struggled to the point where valuations - stock prices relative to other
measures such as earnings - appeared attractive. Consumer nondurables -
such as food, beverage and tobacco companies - health care and traditional
big-name growth stocks showed strength as investors sought companies that
traditionally have steady earnings growth regardless of the economic
environment.
Cyclical stocks - those that usually rise and fall with the economy -
provided subpar returns during 1995 as a result of over-capacity and
evidence the economy was slowing. Industrial commodities, such as chemicals
and paper, faltered due to decreased demand, despite the prospect for
renewed economic growth - and concurrent future earnings growth - resulting
from interest rate declines. On the other hand, lower interest rates and
continued merger and acquisition activity helped financial stocks perform
well. Regional Bell operating companies - RBOCs or "Baby Bells"-performed
well in the second half of the year, because they offered strong yields,
and because of their potential for growth as they enter new businesses.
FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS
Foreign stock markets showed mixed results in 1995. The Morgan Stanley EAFE
(Europe, Australasia, Far East) index was up 11.21%. Although interest
rates declined in most European countries, economies were generally
stagnant. While equity indexes in some countries posted strong returns, in
some cases these results were due to the strong performance of large
companies that made up a significant portion of the index, such as Nokia in
Finland and Ericsson in Sweden. The Morgan Stanley Europe Index rose 21.62%
in 1995. Japanese companies were hindered by a strong yen - which made
their products expensive overseas - and a weak economy earlier in the year.
However, in the fourth quarter of the year, both the Japanese market and
economy started to rebound. According to Morgan Stanley Capital
International, Japanese stocks rose 0.69% in U.S. dollars for the year.
Emerging markets struggled in 1995, hurt by a lack of capital inflows
caused by Mexico's peso devaluation in December 1994. This negative
sentiment contributed to the -5.21% return of the Morgan Stanley Emerging
Markets Free Index in 1995.
U.S. BOND MARKETS
U.S. bond markets posted strong returns in 1995. The Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a broad measure of U.S. taxable bonds - posted a
total return of 18.47% in 1995. A strong, year-long rally helped bonds
recover from the effects of the sharply rising interest rates seen in 1994.
Indications of a slowing economy and a relative absence of inflation
pressures encouraged bond investors, helping to push interest rates lower.
Prospects for a balanced budget agreement also helped to fuel optimism in
the markets. Monetary policy also played a role in the bond market's
performance. In an effort to thwart the possibility of a recession, the
Federal Reserve Board lowered the fed funds rates twice, in July and
December. Mortgage-backed securities also benefited from this environment,
as illustrated by the performance of the Salomon Brothers Mortgage Index,
which returned 16.77% during the year. The high-yield bond market also
turned in a strong performance in 1995, driven by generally good earnings,
strong demand for high-yield bonds among investors searching for high
current income and declining interest rates. The Merrill Lynch High Yield
Master Index rose 19.91%.
FOREIGN BOND MARKETS
Both developed and emerging fixed-income markets recorded strong returns in
1995. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1995, the Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index - a proxy of bond market performance in developed
nations including the U.S. - rose 19.04%. Bond markets in developed
countries benefited from slow economic growth and relatively low inflation
pressures. This led to a more favorable interest rate environment, as the
central banks of the U.S., Germany and Great Britain all lowered their
respective short-term interest rates. Emerging markets shrugged off the
fallout from December 1994's Mexican peso devaluation to record strong
returns. The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index posted a 27.54% return
for the year. The bulk of emerging markets' total return came from a
springtime rally following the announcement of a $50 billion bailout
package for Mexico by the U.S. Treasury and the International Monetary
Fund.
VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND: MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects both the change
in a fund's share price over a given period, and reinvestment of its
dividends (or income). Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a
money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important
measure of performance.

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods,
expressed as annual percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is
reinvested or compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above
shows the fund's current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the
past year. This is compared to similar yields for the average bank money
market deposit account (MMDA). The MMDA average is supplied by BANK RATE
MONITOR.(Trademark)
COMPARING PERFORMANCE
There are some important differences between
a bank money market deposit account (MMDA)
and a money market fund. First, the U.S.
government neither insures nor guarantees a
money market fund. In fact, there is no
assurance that a money fund will maintain a $1
share price. Second, a money market fund
returns to its shareholders income earned by the
fund's investments after expenses. This is in
contrast to banks, which set their MMDA rates
periodically based on current interest rates,
competitors' rates, and internal criteria.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with
Bob Litterst, Portfolio
Manager of Money
Market Portfolio
Q. BOB, HOW HAVE MARKET CONDITIONS CHANGED DURING THE PAST YEAR?
A. Ironically, the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight
loans-known as the federal funds rate-ended the year exactly where it
started, at 5.50%. But if we compare market conditions a year ago to those
that prevailed at the close of the period, the difference is like night and
day. As 1995 began, the Fed was still in a restrictive mode, raising
interest rates as a means of slowing down the economic growth rate and
preventing an outbreak of inflation. After a torrid fourth quarter-during
which the economy expanded at an annual rate of more than 5%-most market
participants expected growth to continue at a fast pace and interest rates
to keep rising in 1995. That view was apparently confirmed when the Fed
increased the federal funds rate again in February to 6.00%. As it turned
out, however, that was the last rate increase in the cycle. Already, signs
of weakness were appearing among the key economic indicators, heralding a
dramatic slowdown in the first half of 1995.
Q. HOW DID THE FED REACT TO CHANGING CONDITIONS?
A. By gradually lowering interest rates. When growth slowed to an annual
growth rate of 1.3% during the second quarter of 1995, from 2.7% during the
first quarter, warnings arose from some quarters that the economy was in
danger of slipping back into recession. Such warnings were undoubtedly a
factor in the Fed's decision to lower the federal funds rate one-quarter
percentage point on July 6, 1995. Growth picked up again in the third
quarter, when the economy expanded at an annual rate of 4.2%. But
indications are that the fourth quarter numbers, when they're released in
January, will show a return to slower growth. The Fed apparently thinks so.
It lowered the federal funds rate another one-quarter percentage point on
December 19, 1995, bringing it back down to 5.50%. At present, conditions
appear stable, characterized by moderate growth, stable to declining
interest rates and mild inflation.
Q. HOW DID YOU POSITION THE FUND DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's average maturity a year ago December, when the period began,
was 39 days. That's a rather defensive number and reflects my expectation
at the time that interest rates were likely to go higher. However, after
the Fed rate increase in February, I began extending the fund's average
maturity out towards 60 days. By then, market expectations for higher rates
struck me as too severe, and therefore unlikely to be realized. I shortened
up slightly during the third quarter in response to a shift in the money
market yield curve that favored shorter trades over longer trades. By
year-end, however, I was back out around 70 days. That's anywhere from 10
to 15 days longer than most other funds in my competitive universe, and
reflects my view that short-term rates are more likely to fall than rise
over the next six months.
Q. HOW HAS THE COMPOSITION OF ASSETS CHANGED DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The percentage of variable rate instruments has risen slightly since
last fall to around 23%. Variable rate securities have interest rates that
reset at daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly intervals. Most of those the
fund invests in are pegged to traditional money market interest rates, such
as the federal funds rate, the prime rate and the London Interbank Offered
Rate, or LIBOR. In the current environment, with interest rates likely to
keep falling, I've tended to favor variable rate securities that reset
quarterly over those that reset more frequently.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK?
A. Not at all what it was a year ago, at least for the short-term. I'm
basing my investment decisions on the likelihood of continued moderate
growth, stable to declining interest rates and mild inflationary pressures.
I think there's a good chance the Fed will lower interest rates at least
one more time, possibly if and when the warring parties in Washington
finally agree on a balanced budget. The Fed has long been an advocate of a
balanced budget, and would likely respond to a credible agreement with a
rate cut. On the other hand, with the economy expanding near the Fed's
target growth rate and little chance of a recession, I don't expect further
dramatic reductions in interest rates. That's why I'll likely keep the
fund's average around 60 days, possibly longer. That puts the fund in a
good position to benefit from stable to declining rates while leaving me
with some flexibility to respond if market conditions suddenly change.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND: HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
DECEMBER 31, 1995 YEAR YEARS YEARS
HIGH INCOME 20.72% 18.92% 11.47%
Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index 19.91% 17.17% 11.77%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the opposite
direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund that invests in bonds
will vary. That means if you sell your shares
during a market downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out the market's ups
and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
You can compare the fund's returns to those of the Merrill Lynch High Yield
Master Index - a broad measure of the high yield bond market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Consumer
Price Index information is not available from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Therefore, the CPI comparison has not been included in this report.
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.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the fund's five and
ten year total returns would have been lower.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money. The fund includes high yielding, lower-rated
securities which are subject to greater price volatility and may involve
greater risk of default. The market for these securities may be less
liquid.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND: HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Barry Coffman, Portfolio Manager of High Income Portfolio
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED, BARRY?
A. It did well relative to its peers and to its benchmark. For the 12
months ended December 31, 1995, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index
returned 19.91%.
Q. WHAT KIND OF YEAR WAS 1995 FOR THE HIGH-YIELD MARKET?
A. 1995 was very strong in absolute terms, but it was unusual in that it
was the first time in several years that the high-yield bond market
underperformed both the Treasury and stock markets. Some of the same
factors that boosted the Treasury market - namely concerns about a slowing
economy and fears of a recession - kept high-yield bonds from performing as
well as Treasuries. That's because investors feared that a slowing economy
would translate into lower earnings and deteriorating credit quality for
some high-yield companies. In addition, a slight increase in the number of
companies that defaulted on their debt last year - and rising expectations
that the default rate will increase slightly in 1996 - caused the
high-yield market to underperform the stock market.
Q. WAS THERE ANY PARTICULAR REASON THE FUND OUTPERFORMED BOTH ITS PEERS AND
ITS BENCHMARK?
A. I think it's important to point out that the fund outperformed even
though it was underweighted, relative to the index, in securities rated Ba.
Those securities outperformed as a group due to their higher sensitivity to
interest rates and the widening of credit spreads during the year. The key
to the fund's better performance can be attributed to the strength of its
individual holdings and its lower exposure to some sectors - like retail -
which significantly underperformed. The fund's largest holding at the end
of the period - PanAmSat Corp., which operates an international satellite
communications system and provides satellite services to the broadcasting
and business communications market, performed quite well. The company
launched a third satellite and continued to have a large backlog of
contracted time from companies, including ESPN and Viacom, for its existing
and yet-to-be-launched satellites. Another of the fund's strong performers
was Big Flower Press, a large specialty printer of advertising inserts,
comics and television guides. I invested in the bonds and equity of this
company, both of which did well as its fortunes improved.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND'S GAMING HOLDINGS DO?
A. Performance was mixed. On one hand, there were few new jurisdictions
that approved gaming facilities in 1995. That lack of new competition and
good growth in the Atlantic City market, in particular, helped many of our
casino holdings. On the other hand, Harrah's Jazz was a disappointment. In
November, the company filed for bankruptcy protection. I sold the bonds
after the bankruptcy declaration. However, Harrah's problems don't appear
to have had any residual effects on other casino holdings.
Q. WHAT TYPES OF INVESTMENTS DID YOU ADD OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. I focused on finding smaller companies that didn't have much visibility
in the market - meaning that few investors followed them. I bought
companies in which I developed a high degree of confidence regarding their
future business prospects. As an example, one recent addition to the fund
was Mother's Work, the largest retailer of maternity clothes. In 1995, the
company bought two of its primary competitors and now controls more than
half of the country's maternity stores.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The high-yield market's performance will obviously be dependent on the
health of the economy. And in my view, there's no way of knowing for sure
what the environment will be. So I'll continue to look at each company,
attempting to assess how it's likely to do in a variety of economic
environments. I'll focus on finding companies that are properly
capitalized, with sufficient financial flexibility and business
fundamentals that can withstand a downturn in the economy.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
DECEMBER 31, 1995 YEAR YEARS FUND
Equity-Income 35.09% 21.32% 13.33%
S&P 500 37.58% 16.60% 14.46%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how
it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. In turn, the share
price and return of a fund that invests in stocks
will vary. That means if you sell your shares
during a market downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out the market's ups
and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
You can compare these figures to the performance of the Standard & Poor's
Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
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, October 9, 1986.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the fund's past five
year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Equity-Income Portfolio on October 9,
1986, when the fund started. By December 31, 1995, your investment would
have grown to $31,764 - a 217.64% increase. That compares to $10,000
invested in the S&P 500, which would have grown to $34,800 over the same
period - a 248% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Bettina Doulton, Portfolio Manager of Equity-Income
Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BETTINA?
A. Compared to its peers, the fund did very well over the past 12 months.
However, it slightly trailed the performance of the Standard & Poor's
Composite Index for the 12-month period. The index had a total return of
37.58% for the 12 months ended December 31, 1995. The stock market rally in
1995 was narrow - led by the technology and finance sectors, as well as
large-cap and blue-chip stocks - and many funds did not beat the
performance of the index during the past 12 months.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund's performance came from a number of sectors, including finance
and telephone utilities, as well as from some of the larger holdings,
including the fund's largest investment, Philip Morris. This company's
business was propelled by gains in market share for its Marlboro brand
domestically, and by increased volumes and profits in its international
tobacco business.
Q. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR INVESTMENTS IN THE FINANCE SECTOR. WHICH
STOCKS HAVE TURNED OUT WELL?
A. The fund's finance investments are fairly diverse. I pick the stocks for
the fund one-by-one, but many of the top performers over the past 12 months
came from this sector. Among them, Citicorp benefited from growth in its
emerging market credit card business. Fannie Mae - the Federal National
Mortgage Association - was helped by improved business conditions, a strong
supply of mortgages and widening spreads, such that profit growth was
solid. And American Express, having restructured in order to reduce costs,
posted strong and consistent earnings growth from improved marketing of its
existing and new credit card products. Beyond that, some of the fund's
insurance stocks - GenRe, American International Group, Aetna and CIGNA -
contributed well to the fund's return.
Q. HOW ABOUT TELEPHONE UTILITIES?
A. I've owned several of the regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs),
such as Ameritech, BellSouth, Bell Atlantic, NYNEX and SBC Communications.
The regulatory environment is improving on a state-by-state basis, allowing
these companies to focus more on profitability and competitiveness. They've
also been able to improve revenues by offering value-added services, such
as call waiting and caller identification, cellular services, and
additional access lines for computer modem use.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DIDN'T TURN OUT AS WELL AS YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED?
A. A couple of areas were disappointing. First, Wal-Mart struggled as it
went through a major transition. It was upgrading and expanding its older,
most profitable stores, converting them into so-called super centers -
general merchandise stores with grocery stores attached. The negative
impact on the company's profits associated with this process - as well as
the difficult retail environment - was worse and more prolonged than
anticipated. Second, despite better managing their account bases and
internal operations, WMX Technologies and Browning-Ferris Industries -
broadly based pollution control companies - were hurt by the weakening
economy, such that the pace of revenue and profit growth was not as strong
as expected.
Q. GENERAL ELECTRIC WAS ONE OF THE FUND'S TOP FIVE STOCKS AT THE END OF THE
PERIOD. WHY WAS IT ATTRACTIVE TO YOU?
A. GE offered a diverse business portfolio, shareholder-oriented management
and a consistent earnings history, qualities that appeared attractive given
the economic climate. I felt the same way about Emerson Electric and
Allied-Signal. These companies - through geographical expansion and
improvements in productivity - were able to sustain consistent earnings and
free cash flow. I believed the economy was weakening to an extent that the
relative performance expected from these companies would be rewarded.
Q. DOES THAT MEAN YOUR OUTLOOK IS COLORED BY CONCERNS FOR THE ECONOMY?
A. Yes it does. Economic indicators point out that the economy is slowing.
Wages have been stagnant and consumers' disposable income is down. Interest
rates will have to decline, in part so that capital will flow back into the
developing economies, believed to be a prime driver for future global
economic growth including U.S. exports. As it stands at the end of 1995,
economies outside of the U.S. also have slowed, leading me to believe that
demand for U.S. exports will wane. Given this backdrop, I have concerns
about corporate profitability in 1996 and think it will be a tough
investing environment. As a result, I'll be looking for companies with
aspects to their business that will enable them to sustain good earnings
growth despite a weakening economy.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND: GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
DECEMBER 31, 1995 YEAR YEARS FUND
Growth 35.36% 20.78% 14.83%
S&P 500 37.58% 16.60% 14.46%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how
it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. In turn, the share
price and return of a fund that invests in stocks
will vary. That means if you sell your shares
during a market downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out the market's ups
and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
You can compare these figures to the performance of the Standard & Poor's
Composite Index of 500 Stocks- a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
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, October 9, 1986.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the fund's life of
fund total return would have been lower.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Growth Portfolio on October 9, 1986, when
the fund started. By December 31, 1995, your investment would have grown to
$35,851 - a 258.51% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P
500, which would have grown to $34,800 over the same period - a 248%
increase.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND: GROWTH PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Lawrence Greenberg, Portfolio
Manager of Growth Portfolio
Q. LARRY, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Although the fund did well compared to its peers, it slightly lagged the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which returned 37.58% for the 12-month period
ended December 31, 1995.
Q. WHY WAS THE STOCK MARKET SO STRONG IN 1995?
A. In my opinion, two things really drive the equity market: strong
earnings and declining interest rates. During most of 1995, we had both.
This really played into the hands of the kinds of growth stocks the fund
owns. Many of these stocks represent fast-growing companies which are able
to grow faster than other companies in a slow but expanding economic
environment. They also can benefit more from a declining interest rate
environment.
Q. THE FUND'S TECHNOLOGY WEIGHTING HAS BEEN REDUCED, BUT, AT APPROXIMATELY
32.7%, IT REMAINED THE LARGEST SECTOR AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1995. DO YOU THINK
THIS AREA OF THE MARKET CAN KEEP UP THE TORRID PACE OF GROWTH WE SAW IN
1995?
A. Probably not. What we saw in 1995 was strength across the board. For the
most part, earnings grew as fast as the stock prices went up. Therefore,
despite good appreciation, price-to-earnings multiples didn't go up that
much. I don't think investors can expect the same level of growth in 1996
as they did in 1995. I think investors can expect to see more of an
environment of the haves and have-nots, with specific companies leaving
others behind.
Q. SO HOW WILL YOU MANAGE THE FUND'S TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS GOING FORWARD?
A. I intend to approach the technology sector on a more selective basis,
looking at individual areas showing strength. For example, corporate
America's move from mainframe computing to client-server computing, along
with the rise of the Internet, may continue to benefit networking and
database companies. These companies provide the hardware and software for
the new corporate networks.
Q. WHAT WAS THE ATTRACTION TO UTILITY STOCKS, WHICH MADE UP 9.4% OF THE
FUND'S INVESTMENTS AT THE END OF DECEMBER?
A. All of the fund's utility holdings are in the telecommunications
industry. I believe the telecommunications industry offers excellent growth
opportunities both domestically and abroad as diversification,
privatization, globalization and proliferation of wireless communications
continue to create a strong demand outlook.
Q. IN THE FUND'S SEMIANNUAL REPORT, YOU DISCUSSED THAT YOU HAD CUT BACK ON
THE FUND'S HEALTH CARE EXPOSURE BECAUSE OF CONCERNS SURROUNDING FEDERAL
HEALTH CARE REFORM. WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THEN?
A. I slowly raised the fund's stake in health care stocks as values
presented themselves. Congress and the president continue to haggle over
the future of Medicare and Medicaid, but I anticipate that government
cutbacks in spending could force more Medicare users toward HMOs.
Therefore, I added more HMOs to the portfolio.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS IN 1995?
A. Sure. Disappointments came on two fronts. First, in September, the
technology sector slowed somewhat as several corporate earnings
disappointments fueled investors' concerns that the sector had become
overvalued. As this occurred, investors moved to more defensive,
consumer-oriented stocks such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Merck and Pfizer. In
hindsight, I wish I had been able to make this shift earlier. Second, the
underperformance of several of the fund's retail stocks hindered
performance. Building supply companies Home Depot and Lowe's, for example,
were hurt by falling lumber prices and a drop in demand with the slowdown
in the housing market.
Q. SO WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. As I mentioned earlier, the real fuel for a strong market - good
corporate earnings and declining interest rates - will probably not be as
strong in 1996 as it was in 1995. Given what we know now, though, I
believe, barring any unforeseen changes, the market environment may still
be constructive for stocks this year.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
DECEMBER 31, 1995 YEAR YEARS FUND
OVERSEAS 9.74% 8.13% 7.31%
Morgan Stanley EAFE Index 11.21% 9.37% 7.53%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
Many markets around the globe offer the potential
for significant growth over time; however,
investing in foreign markets means assuming
greater risks than investing in the United States.
Factors like changes in a country's financial
markets, its local political and economic
climate, and the fluctuating value of its currency
create these risks. For these reasons an
international fund's performance may be more
volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in the
United States.
(checkmark)
You can compare the fund's figures to the performance of the Morgan Stanley
EAFE index - a broad measure of the performance of stocks in Europe,
Australia, and the Far East. This benchmark includes reinvested dividends
and capital gains, if any.
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
January 28, 1987.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the fund's life of
fund total return would have been lower.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money. Foreign investments involve greater risks and
potential rewards than U.S. investments. These risks include political and
economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk of
currency fluctuations.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Overseas Portfolio on January 28, 1987,
when the fund started. By December 31, 1995, your investment would have
grown to $18,783 - an 87.83% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in
the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index, which would have grown to $19,128 over the
same period - a 91.28% increase.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND: OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with John Hickling, Portfolio Manager of Overseas Portfolio
Q. JOHN, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1995, the fund's performance
slightly trailed that of the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index - a broad measure of
stocks in Europe, Australia and the Far East. The index had a total return
of 11.21% for the 12-month period.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. I think the main factor was that I thought the effects of slowing
economic growth on earnings estimates would have an impact on stock prices
somewhat before their effect was really felt. For example, I avoided
cyclical stocks - those that tend to rise and fall with the economy, such
as paper and forest product companies - but they didn't start to come down
until the fourth quarter. Instead, I focused the fund on what I would call
defensive stocks. These investments included Unilever, a consumer
nondurable stock that tends to post solid earnings regardless of the
economic climate, and financial investments such as ING Groep, which
generally benefit from the interest rate declines we've seen during the
year. These stocks helped the fund, but not until the fourth quarter.
Q. LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HOW YOU POSITIONED THE FUND DURING THE PAST
YEAR.
A. Most of 1995 was frustrating because, historically, markets around the
world have shown a higher correlation to the U.S. market than we've seen
this year. In addition, foreign stock market performance generally did not
coincide with the strong performance seen in many bond markets. The
slowdown experienced by many economies led to lower interest rates, an
environment that generally is supportive for stock markets as well. That's
because lower rates can reduce companies' borrowing costs and make
alternatives to stock investing less attractive. Furthermore, the good
performance in several foreign markets was narrow, driven by the strength
of only a few stocks. Looking specifically at the fund, more investments
were in Japan than elsewhere -21.2% at the end of the period - although the
fund held less there than is included in the EAFE index. This is a market
that struggled through most of the year, although it rebounded in the
fourth quarter. The Japanese banking sector performed well through the
first part of the year and in the fourth quarter. However, the fund didn't
participate, because its Japanese investments were focused on exporters;
companies with electronics or technology-oriented businesses, such as
Matsushita Electric, Hitachi and Omron; retailers such as Ito-Yodako; and
financial stocks such as Nomura Securities. In the second half of the year,
though, some of these stocks rebounded, because the yen started to weaken
versus the dollar, making these companies' products less expensive abroad.
Q. YOU ALSO INVESTED A FAIR AMOUNT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM...
A. That's right, 12.9%, about as much as is included in the EAFE index.
This has been one of the best performing markets outside of the U.S., led,
for the most part, by financial stocks including Barclays and National
Westminster Bank. In the early part of 1995, a number of consumer
nondurable stocks helped the fund, including brewers Bass and Whitbread.
Q. LET'S TURN TO EMERGING MARKETS...
A. At the end of last year, when emerging markets dropped sharply after
Mexico's devaluation of the peso, I had minimal investments in emerging
markets. I started adding some emerging market stocks in May, including
Mexican banks as well as investments in Brazil, Chile and Southeast Asia.
One stock that turned in a very good performance was Sampoerna, an
Indonesian cigarette company. One of the main reasons I owned this stock
and Matahari, an Indonesian retailer, was that the standard of living for
many Indonesians has been on the rise. With wages and disposable income
growing, demand for items such as cigarettes, beer, toothpaste and clothing
has been increasing. The fund's investments in Unilever and Nestle also
gave it some exposure to this growth in consumer nondurable spending in
emerging markets.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. At the end of the year, overseas markets started to catch up to the U.S.
market. Investors have started to become more actively interested in
opportunities abroad, attracted by, among other things, cheap stock
valuations. Prospects for foreign markets seem to be improving, in absolute
terms and relative to the U.S. After the mixed performance we've seen from
international markets over the past few years, a contrarian investor might
become more interested in foreign markets from a risk/reward perspective.
I'm hoping we'll see some signs of a rebound in overseas markets, with
investors finding better buys abroad than domestically.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended December 31, 1995
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
The Money Market Portfolio, High Income Portfolio, Equity-Income Portfolio,
Growth Portfolio and Overseas Portfolio (the funds) are funds of Variable
Insurance Products Fund (the trust). The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares of
each fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of
funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
SECURITY VALUATION:
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO. Debt securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as
determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales
prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are
normally traded. Equity securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value
as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
EQUITY-INCOME AND GROWTH PORTFOLIOS. Securities for which exchange
quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if
no sale price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities
which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied
valuations or at their fair value as determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board
of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days of their
purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued
interest, both of which approximate current value.
OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO. Securities for which quotations are readily available
are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid
price in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
primarily
using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within
sixty days of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund 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 period end. 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.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Money Market, High Income,
Equity-Income, Growth and Overseas Portfolios are not subject to income
taxes to the extent that each distributes substantially all of its taxable
income for the fiscal year. The Overseas Portfolio may be subject to
foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation. The
schedules of investments include information regarding income taxes under
the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME:
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of discount, is accrued as earned.
HIGH INCOME, EQUITY-INCOME, GROWTH AND OVERSEAS PORTFOLIOS. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign
securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon
as the funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which
includes accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery
of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income for the Money Market Portfolio.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date for all other funds.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for defaulted
bonds, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies
(PFIC), market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss
carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales. Certain foreign
currency gains (losses) are taxable as ordinary income and, therefore,
increase (decrease) taxable ordinary income available for distributions
with respect to the Overseas Portfolio.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The funds, except the Money Market
Portfolio may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in
foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to
buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while
contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's investments against currency
fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous
contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into
one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or
more repurchase agreements that mature in 60 days or less from the date of
purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The funds, through their custodian, receive delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the funds' investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The funds may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis is identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The funds may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. Losses may arise due to changes in
the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The funds (excluding the Money Market Portfolio) may
invest in indexed securities whose values are linked either directly or
inversely to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities,
indices, or other underlying instruments. The funds use these securities to
increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and
to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in through
conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their
underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the
original investment.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The funds are permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $10,584,034 or
1.0% of net assets of the the High Income Portfolio.
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee.
For the Money Market Portfolio, FMR receives a monthly fee that is
calculated on the basis of a basic fund fee rate of .03% of
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
the fund's average net assets, plus a fixed income group fee rate and an
income-based fee. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates ranging from .1200% to .3700% and is based on the monthly average net
assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The income-based fee is
added only when the fund's gross yield exceeds 5%. At that time the
income-based fee would equal 6% of that portion of the fund's gross income
that represents a gross yield of more than 5% per year. The maximum
income-based component is 0.24% of average net assets. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .24% of average net
assets.
For all other funds, FMR receives a monthly fee that is calculated on the
basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to
the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted
average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets
of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1200% to
.3700% for the High Income Portfolio and .2700% to .5200% for the
Equity-Income, Growth, and Overseas Portfolios for the period. In the event
that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in
the same or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rates
are .45%, .20%, .30% and .45% for High Income, Equity-Income, Growth, and
Overseas Portfolios, respectively. For the period, the management fee was
equivalent to an annual rate of .60%, .51%, .61%, and .76% of average net
assets for the High Income, Equity-Income, Growth, and Overseas Portfolios,
respectively.
The Board of Trustees has approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .1100% to .3700% for the Money Market and High Income
Portfolios and .2500% to .5200% for the Equity-Income, Growth, and Overseas
Portfolios. Effective January 1, 1996, FMR voluntarily agreed to implement
this new group fee rate schedule as it results in the same or a lower
management fee.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the Money Market Portfolio's investment sub-adviser,
FMR Texas Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR
of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any
voluntary expense reimbursements which may be in effect.
FMR, on behalf of the High Income and Overseas Portfolios, entered into
sub-advisory agreements with Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc.,
Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc., and with respect only to
Overseas Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA). In addition,
FIIA entered into a sub-advisory agreement with its subsidiary, Fidelity
International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIAL U.K.). Under the
sub-advisory arrangements, FMR may receive investment advice and research
services and may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority to
buy and sell securities. FMR pays its sub-advisers either a portion of its
management fee or a fee based on costs incurred for these services. FIIA
pays FIIAL U.K. a fee based on costs incurred for either service.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing
and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and
asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account.
FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder
reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .05% of average net assets for each of the
funds.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the funds' accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Certain funds placed a portion of their portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption
"Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's schedule of
investments.
4. BANK BORROWINGS.
The funds are permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Each fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, each fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. For
the High Income and Equity-Income Portfolios, the maximum loans and the
average daily loan balances during the period for which loans were
outstanding amounted to $4,885,000 and $18,269,000, respectively. The
weighted average interest rate was 6.4% for both the High Income Portfolio
and the Equity-Income Portfolio.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of 1.00% of average net assets for the High
Income Portfolio and 1.50% of average net assets for the Equity-Income,
Growth, and Overseas Portfolios. For the period, there was no reimbursement
under this arrangement.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades of the High Income Portfolio to
brokers who paid a portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the High
Income Portfolio's expenses were reduced by $9,702 under this arrangement.
6. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
(FILI) and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, were the record owners of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares and certain unaffiliated insurance
companies were record owners of approximately 10% or more of the total
outstanding shares of the following funds:
FILI UNAFFILIATED INSURANCE COMPANIES
FUND % OF OWNERSHIP # OF % OF OWNERSHIP
Money Market 52 1 14
High Income 18 1 42
Equity-Income 27 1 30
Growth 18 1 30
Overseas 15 1 39
7. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities (other than
short-term securities) is included under the caption "Other Information" at
the end of each applicable fund's schedule of investments.
8. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
Information regarding transactions with affiliated companies is included
under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's
schedule of investments.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Most stock and bond markets rebounded in 1995, after experiencing
volatility and inconsistent returns in 1994. Returns were fueled by
declining interest rates, moderate economic growth, sustained corporate
earnings growth and a relative absence of inflation. The U.S. stock market
outpaced counterparts in the developed world and those in emerging markets.
Returns from bond markets overseas generally topped those provided by the
U.S., although the U.S. bond market still was quite strong.
U.S. STOCK MARKETS
The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a broad measure of
U.S. stock performance - rose 37.58% for the 12 months ended December 31,
1995, well above the market's long-term average annual return. The NASDAQ
Composite Index - a measure of small stock performance - rose 39.92%
(excluding dividends). The Dow Jones Industrial Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - posted a return of 36.72%, closing above 5000 for the
first time in November.
Strong corporate earnings and a favorable interest rate environment helped
the U.S. stock market post robust returns. With inflation posing little
threat, interest rates fell during much of 1995. The Federal Reserve Board
cut short-term interest rates twice, in July and December. Lower interest
rates helped bolster earnings, as they reduced companies' borrowing costs.
A relatively weak dollar also helped sustain earnings, with American
products and services remaining fairly cheap overseas. Investor sentiment
toward the stock market was extremely positive, evidenced by a flurry of
successful initial public offerings throughout the year.
Market activity was marked by rapid sector rotation, with investors
reacting swiftly to breaking news. Technology was one of the best
performing market sectors until the fourth quarter, fueled by improving
earnings associated with strong growth in personal computers and related
products. Internet-related stocks posted extremely strong share price
gains. Although increases in cellular subscriptions helped semiconductor
stocks earlier in the year, that industry saw share price drops later in
the year due to concerns about over-capacity. Expanding inventories and
evidence of an economic slowdown hurt technology stocks later in the year.
Biotechnology issues saw a resurgence, partly because the sector had
struggled to the point where valuations - stock prices relative to other
measures such as earnings - appeared attractive. Consumer nondurables -
such as food, beverage and tobacco companies - health care and traditional
big-name growth stocks showed strength as investors sought companies that
traditionally have steady earnings growth regardless of the economic
environment.
Cyclical stocks - those that usually rise and fall with the economy -
provided subpar returns during 1995 as a result of over-capacity and
evidence the economy was slowing. Industrial commodities, such as chemicals
and paper, faltered due to decreased demand, despite the prospect for
renewed economic growth - and concurrent future earnings growth - resulting
from interest rate declines. On the other hand, lower interest rates and
continued merger and acquisition activity helped financial stocks perform
well. Regional Bell operating companies - RBOCs or "Baby Bells"-performed
well in the second half of the year, because they offered strong yields,
and because of their potential for growth as they enter new businesses.
FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS
Foreign stock markets showed mixed results in 1995. The Morgan Stanley EAFE
(Europe, Australasia, Far East) index was up 11.21%. Although interest
rates declined in most European countries, economies were generally
stagnant. While equity indexes in some countries posted strong returns, in
some cases these results were due to the strong performance of large
companies that made up a significant portion of the index, such as Nokia in
Finland and Ericsson in Sweden. The Morgan Stanley Europe Index rose 21.62%
in 1995. Japanese companies were hindered by a strong yen - which made
their products expensive overseas - and a weak economy earlier in the year.
However, in the fourth quarter of the year, both the Japanese market and
economy started to rebound. According to Morgan Stanley Capital
International, Japanese stocks rose 0.69% in U.S. dollars for the year.
Emerging markets struggled in 1995, hurt by a lack of capital inflows
caused by Mexico's peso devaluation in December 1994. This negative
sentiment contributed to the -5.21% return of the Morgan Stanley Emerging
Markets Free Index in 1995.
U.S. BOND MARKETS
U.S. bond markets posted strong returns in 1995. The Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a broad measure of U.S. taxable bonds - posted a
total return of 18.47% in 1995. A strong, year-long rally helped bonds
recover from the effects of the sharply rising interest rates seen in 1994.
Indications of a slowing economy and a relative absence of inflation
pressures encouraged bond investors, helping to push interest rates lower.
Prospects for a balanced budget agreement also helped to fuel optimism in
the markets. Monetary policy also played a role in the bond market's
performance. In an effort to thwart the possibility of a recession, the
Federal Reserve Board lowered the fed funds rates twice, in July and
December. Mortgage-backed securities also benefited from this environment,
as illustrated by the performance of the Salomon Brothers Mortgage Index,
which returned 16.77% during the year. The high-yield bond market also
turned in a strong performance in 1995, driven by generally good earnings,
strong demand for high-yield bonds among investors searching for high
current income and declining interest rates. The Merrill Lynch High Yield
Master Index rose 19.91%.
FOREIGN BOND MARKETS
Both developed and emerging fixed-income markets recorded strong returns in
1995. For the 12 months ended December 31, 1995, the Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index - a proxy of bond market performance in developed
nations including the U.S. - rose 19.04%. Bond markets in developed
countries benefited from slow economic growth and relatively low inflation
pressures. This led to a more favorable interest rate environment, as the
central banks of the U.S., Germany and Great Britain all lowered their
respective short-term interest rates. Emerging markets shrugged off the
fallout from December 1994's Mexican peso devaluation to record strong
returns. The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index posted a 27.54% return
for the year. The bulk of emerging markets' total return came from a
springtime rally following the announcement of a $50 billion bailout
package for Mexico by the U.S. Treasury and the International Monetary
Fund.
VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND II: INVESTMENT GRADE BOND PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
YEAR YEARS FUND
Investment Grade Bond 17.32% 9.23% 8.92%
Lehman Brothers Intermediate 15.33% 8.61% n/a
Government-Corporate Bond Index
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index 18.47% 9.48% n/a
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the opposite
direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund that invests in bonds
will vary. That means if you sell your shares
during a market downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out the market's ups
and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
You can compare these figures to the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government-Corporate Bond Index - a broad measure of the performance of
intermediate (one- to ten-year) bonds. This benchmark includes reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any. Consumer Price Index information is
not available from the U.S. Department of Labor. Therefore, the CPI
comparison has not been included in this report.
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 5, 1988.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past five years
and life of fund total return figures would have been lower.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Investment Grade Bond Portfolio on
December 31, 1988, shortly after the fund started. By December 31, 1995,
your investment would have grown to $18,213 - an 82.13% increase. With
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, a $10,000 investment in the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index would have grown to $19,626 over the
same period - a 96.26% increase. Henceforth, the fund will compare its
performance to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index rather than the
Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government-Corporate Bond Index. The Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index average maturity is closer to the range
permitted for the fund, which normally maintains an average maturity of up
to ten years. For comparison purposes, both indexes are shown under the
heading "Average Annual Total Returns."

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with
Michael Gray, Portfolio Manager of Investment Grade Bond Portfolio
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On August 24, 1995, Michael Gray became portfolio
manager of Investment Grade Bond Portfolio.
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED OVER THE PAST YEAR, MICHAEL?
A. During the 12 months ended December 31, 1995, the fund performed better
than the 15.33% return of the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government-Corporate Bond Index, a broad measure of the performance of
intermediate (one- to 10-year) bonds, but underperformed the 18.47% return
of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S.
taxable bonds.
Q. WHAT INFLUENCED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO THESE TWO INDEXES?
A. The fund's performance used to be compared against the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government-Corporate Bond Index. However, earlier in the year
that changed, and performance started to be compared to the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index. While this change has effectively broadened the
fund's investment universe to include a larger slice of the domestic bond
market, the fund's relative performance against the two indexes had more to
do with its duration. Duration is a way to estimate how sensitive a bond
fund's share price is to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration
of the fund, the more likely its share price is to move up as interest
rates fall, or down as interest rates rise. During the period, the fund's
duration - which was 4.3 years as of December 31 - started to be managed so
that it is in line with the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The
aggregate bond index has a duration that is longer than that of the
intermediate government-corporate index. As interest rates fell during
1995, the fund's new, longer duration helped it outperform the
government-corporate index. At the same time, the fund didn't have this
longer duration during the whole period, leading it to underperform the
aggregate bond index.
Q. MICHAEL, WHAT MOVES HAVE YOU MADE SINCE TAKING OVER THE FUND IN AUGUST?
A. I've reduced corporate exposure, increased investments in Treasury
securities and moderately reduced mortgage-backed securities. The corporate
market has been very strong over the course of the year. Valuation levels
have become very high and my view on a risk/reward basis is that corporates
have become over-valued. I've used that strength to reduce corporate
exposure. After selling corporates, I've been buying government securities,
mainly Treasuries because they made more sense on a risk/reward basis. I've
reduced mortgage-backed securities moderately because they've lagged
Treasuries.
Q. MICHAEL, THIS IS YOUR FIRST REPORT AS MANAGER OF THE FUND. CAN YOU
DESCRIBE YOUR INVESTMENT APPROACH TO US?
A. First of all, I don't predict the direction of interest rates. Instead,
I structure the fund so that its duration is roughly the same as the
aggregate index. Beyond that, my approach is to add relative value one bond
at a time by buying cheap securities and selling rich ones. I also seek out
value in sectors or in particular parts of the market, trying to overweight
those that will perform well and underweight those where I think there is
risk. The process is one of using Fidelity's resources to analyze
individual securities and valuations, trying to find the best opportunities
for the fund.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. Even though 1995 was a stellar year for bonds, the outlook for the
market is reasonably good. That's because the Fed could continue to lower
short-term interest rates as long as the economy remains fairly weak and
inflation remains low. The corporate area is one where there is potential
risk. If the economy deteriorates, corporate earnings could suffer. With
valuations at their richest levels in quite some time, the upside in the
corporate market is limited while the potential downside is notable.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
YEAR YEARS FUND
Asset Manager 16.96% 12.76% 11.24%
S&P 500 37.58% 16.60% 12.58%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how
it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example,
has a history of growth in the long run and volatility
in the short run. In turn, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and downs, you may
have a gain.
(checkmark)
You can compare the fund's returns to those of the Standard & Poor's
Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Consumer Price Index information is not available from the U.S. Department
of Labor. Therefore, the CPI comparison has not been included in this
report.
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, September 6, 1989.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past five years
and life of fund total return figures would have been lower.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Asset Manager Portfolio on September 30,
1989, shortly after the fund started. By December 31, 1995, your investment
would have grown to $19,633 - a 96.33% increase. That compares to $10,000
invested in the S&P 500, which would have grown to $21,311 over the same
period - a 113.11% increase.
You can also look at how the Fidelity Composite Index, a hypothetical
combination of unmanaged indices, did over the same period. Reflecting the
fund's neutral mix of 40% stocks, 40% bonds, and 20% short-term
instruments, this index combines returns from the S&P 500 (113.11%), Lehman
Brothers Treasury Bond Index (76.26%), and the Salomon Brothers 3-month
T-Bill Total Rate of Return Index (36.97%). With reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, a $10,000 investment in the index would have grown
to $18,068 - an 80.68% increase.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND II: ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Andy
Offit, Portfolio Manager of Asset Manager Portfolio
Q. ANDY, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well in absolute terms, reasonably well in relative terms, during
a year in which the performance standard was unusually high. During 1995,
Asset Manager produced a double-digit total return, in line with the
average for all global funds that invest in stocks and bonds. Looking back,
there was both good news and bad news. The good news had to do with asset
allocation. When I took over the fund in early spring, only about 30% of
the fund's assets were invested in stocks. I immediately set about
increasing that allocation, nearly reaching Asset Manager's 60% cap on
stocks by the end of May, and the fund profited as a result. The bad news
had to do with country allocation. Asset Manager included both foreign and
domestic stocks in its mix, and during 1995, foreign markets failed to keep
pace.
Q. HOW WERE THE FUND'S ASSETS DISTRIBUTED AT THE END OF THE PERIOD?
A. About 58% stocks, 30% bonds and 12% cash equivalents. Foreign
investments, mostly stocks, totaled about 31% of the fund's assets. Those
numbers have not changed appreciably during the past six months. Compared
to a year ago, however, the fund has significantly more stocks, fewer bonds
and less cash. Also, the fund had an 18% stake in emerging markets one year
ago, but only 8% at the end of the period.
Q. HOW DID YOU APPROACH INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY STOCKS?
A. I certainly didn't ignore the sector. At one time, technology stocks
totaled almost 10% of the fund's assets. I look for compelling situations
where the potential for gain exceeds the potential for loss. When I find
those companies, I like to make large commitments. That's evident in the
declining number of individual securities in the fund-about 250 at the end
of the period, down from over 500 six months ago. Using my bottom-up
criteria, I saw opportunities in several technology stocks early in the
year, and staked out big positions in companies such as IBM, Compaq, Intel
and Microsoft. However, as the summer wore on, my outlook shifted. I began
to see more room for technology stocks to fall if things went wrong than to
continue rising if things went well. At that point I began taking profits
and investing the proceeds elsewhere.
Q. WHERE ELSE DID YOU LOOK FOR VALUE IN U.S. STOCKS DURING 1995?
A. Several of the fund's best investments were defense stocks, including
Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics. Both have achieved strong positions
in a consolidating industry by generating cash and using that cash to pay
down debt and make acquisitions. The fund also did well with energy stocks,
including Kerr-McGee, an oil company, and two oil-service companies:
Reading & Bates and Tidewater. Unfortunately, several of the fund's larger
positions, including Chrysler, were flat performers.
Q. WHERE WAS THE FUND'S FOREIGN EXPOSURE?
A. Mainly in Japan, about 18% of total assets. While results so far have
been less than those achieved in the U.S., I see Japan as one of the larger
turnaround opportunities in the world. With its market down 50% from its
peak in 1989, the yen has started to weaken, consumer sentiment is
improving and the economy is beginning to grow for the first time in five
years. I began last spring investing in Japanese electronics companies,
however, lately my focus has shifted to cyclical sectors that could benefit
from an economic rebound, such as retail and steel companies.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR BOND STRATEGY?
A. Earlier in the year, the fund had fairly large exposure to so-called
junk bonds-those with credit ratings below Baa or BBB from one of the bond
rating agencies. Most did quite well, but as the economy has slowed down,
I've moved increasingly into U.S. Treasuries. As the difference between
long-term and short-term interest rates has narrowed, I've concentrated on
securities in the middle of the yield curve, with maturities between five
and 15 years. They seem to offer the best balance between attractive yield
and the potential for price gains going forward.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK?
A. Promising. Moderate growth and benign inflation mean interest rates
could head still lower in the months ahead, providing an attractive
backdrop for both stocks and bonds. Another key in 1996 will be how well
foreign stocks perform, especially the fund's 18% stake in Japan. I believe
Japan, rather than Europe or the United States, has the greatest potential
for gain in the months ahead.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
INDEX 500 37.19% 15.44%
S&P 500 37.58% 15.79%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how
it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example,
has a history of growth in the long run and volatility
in the short run. In turn, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and downs, you may
have a gain.
(checkmark)
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock
market. This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any.
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, August 27, 1992.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past one year and
life of fund return figures would have been lower.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD BE LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Index 500 Portfolio on August 27, 1992,
when the fund started. By December 31, 1995, your investment would have
grown to $16,171 - a 61.71% increase. With reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, a $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to
$16,339 over the same period - a 63.39% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with
Jennifer Farrelly,
Portfolio Manager of
Index 500 Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JENNIFER?
A. For the 12-month period ended December 31, 1995, the fund performed in
line with the 37.58% return of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
Stocks. Of course, the fund's total return is slightly lower than the index
due to management expenses.
Q. PEOPLE HAVE HEARD AND READ SO MANY DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON WHY THE U.S.
STOCK MARKET PERFORMED SO WELL. IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT WERE THE MOST
IMPORTANT FACTORS IN THE 1995 RALLY?
A. Falling interest rates and growing corporate profits played a big part
in this year's rally. The Federal Reserve Board eased short-term interest
rates twice - in July and December. These actions were a confirmation that
the economy was growing at a slow but steady pace with relatively low
inflation. Lower interest rates were important to the equity market because
they indicated corporate borrowing costs would be less of a burden on
profits.
Q. WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT ADDED TO THE BULLISH SENTIMENT IN THE
MARKET?
A. The flurry of initial public offerings - particularly the eye-popping
leaps in the prices of technology-related issues - helped to confirm the
market's strong demand for equities. It was also a record year for mergers
and acquisitions, as more than $400 billion in deals were announced. I
should point out that much of this year's M&A activity involved S&P 500
companies. These included Walt Disney's agreement to purchase Capital
Cities/ABC, Westinghouse's decision to buy CBS, the proposed merger of
money-center banks Chase and Chemical, regional bank Fleet Financial's
acquisition of rival Shawmut, the announced merger of Bank of Boston with
cross-town retail specialist BayBanks, and Kimberly Clark's agreement to
buy rival Scott Paper.
Q. CORPORATE SPIN-OFFS HAD A BIG IMPACT ON THE S&P 500 AS WELL. . .
A. They certainly did. Like M&A activity, it was also a record year for
corporate spin-offs and restructuring. AT&T broke off into three units
during 1995, while ITT Corp. and Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing made
similar announcements. Additionally, in a long anticipated move, General
Motors announced it would spin off its computer subsidiary, Electronic Data
Systems.
Q. AS YOU NOTED AT THE END OF JUNE, HIGH-TECH COMPANY STOCKS HAVE HAD A
BANNER YEAR. IT CERTAINLY APPEARS, THOUGH, THAT THEY BEGAN TO LOSE SOME OF
THEIR LUSTER IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. . .
A. Stocks of large semiconductor firms held the spotlight for most of the
year and really seemed to drive the performance of other technology-related
stocks. Beginning in the second quarter, some semiconductor and software
firms began reporting earnings below analysts' estimates. Additionally, in
the fourth quarter, some semiconductor companies showed continued weakness
in earnings. I should point out, however, that many software and personal
computer stocks were able to perform well despite weakness in the
technology sector.
Q. ASIDE FROM TECHNOLOGY, WHAT WERE SOME OTHER SECTORS THAT PERFORMED WELL?
A. Demand was high for consumer nondurables - or less economically
sensitive stocks. This benefited health care stocks and pharmaceutical
companies. Following the trend toward consumer nondurables was a resurgence
in biotechnology and medical device companies. These stocks were also
helped by a large number of approvals from the Food and Drug
Administration. Additionally, the financial sector - particularly
money-center banks - was the beneficiary of the increased loan activity and
investing that goes along with lower interest rates.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Cyclical - or economically sensitive - stocks underperformed as the
economy slowed this year. These stocks generally do well in the first
stages of a recovery. One widely publicized underperforming sector has also
been the retail sector. The combination of several high-profile
bankruptcies, intense competition and a slow Christmas season hurt retail
stocks.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. History has shown that the stock market generally has not been able to
sustain this level of growth for two years in a row. That said, however,
should the economy continue to grow at a sustainable pace and corporate
earnings remain fairly strong, the equity markets should show some positive
returns.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 LIFE OF
FUND
Asset Manager: Growth 23.02%
S&P 500 37.56%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on January 3,
1995.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how
it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example,
has a history of growth in the long run and volatility
in the short run. In turn, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and downs, you may
have a gain.
(checkmark)
You can compare the fund's return to those of the Standard & Poor's
Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Consumer Price Index information is not available from the U.S. Department
of Labor. Therefore, the CPI comparison has not been included in this
report.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the life of fund
total return figure would have been lower.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURN WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio on
January 31, 1995, shortly after the fund began. By December 31, 1995, your
investment would have grown to $12,278 - a 22.78% increase. That compares
to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would have grown to $13,410 over
the same period - a 34.10% increase.
You can also look at how the Fidelity Aggressive Asset Allocation Composite
Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices, did over the same
period. Reflecting the fund's neutral mix of 65% stocks, 30% bonds, and 5%
short-term instruments, this index combines returns from the S&P 500
(34.10%), Lehman Brothers Treasury Bond Index (16.20%), and the Salomon
Brothers 3-month T-Bill Total Rate of Return Index (5.25%). With reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, a $10,000 investment in the index
would have grown to $12,699 - a 26.99% increase.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND II: ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with
Andy Offit, Portfolio Manager of Asset
Manager: Growth Portfolio
Q. ANDY, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Nineteen ninety-five was a terrific year for domestic investments,
including both stocks and bonds, and the fund's double-digit performance
reflects that. By emphasizing stocks all year, especially U.S. stocks,
Asset Manager: Growth achieved returns that compare favorably with those of
most other funds that have a diversified investment strategy. If I was
disappointed by anything during the past 12 months, it was the fund's stake
in foreign stocks, including French aluminum manufacturer Pechiney, which
lagged its domestic counterpart. Long-term, I expect the fund's foreign
investments to contribute more meaningfully to performance, but this was
not their year.
Q. HOW WERE THE FUND'S ASSETS DISTRIBUTED AT THE END OF THE PERIOD?
A. About 70% stocks, 20% cash and 10% bonds. Foreign investments, mostly
stocks, totaled 38% of the fund's assets. The biggest development during
the past six months has been the rise in foreign investments, mainly
Japanese stocks, which totaled 24% at the end of the period. Emerging
market investments represented 9% of total assets.
Q. WHAT PRINCIPLES DID YOU APPLY TO STOCK SELECTION?
A. I use what's called a bottom-up analysis, meaning I focus on individual
companies and their prospects, rather than sector outlooks or macroeconomic
trends. I look for compelling situations where the potential for gain
exceeds the potential for loss. When I find attractive situations, I like
to make bets that are large enough to have an impact on the fund's
performance. That's why there were only 121 securities in the fund at the
end of December.
Q. WHERE DID YOU FIND VALUE IN THE U.S. STOCK MARKET?
A. Because Asset Manager: Growth is a relatively new fund and total assets
under management remain relatively small, I've been able to capitalize on a
number of unique opportunities among small and mid-sized companies. One
example was IVF America, a fast-growing healthcare company whose six
clinics nationwide perform in vitro fertilization. IVF America represented
more than 3% of the fund's assets at the end of the period and its price
tripled during 1995. Another large holding was U.S. Surgical, one of the
world's largest manufacturers of surgical staplers and sutures. The company
is completing a two-year restructuring designed to produce improved
results. Among mid-sized stocks, the fund did well with defense contractor
Northrop Grumman. The company achieved a strong position in a consolidating
industry by generating a lot of cash and using that cash to pay down debt
and make acquisitions.
Q. WHY SUCH A LARGE STAKE IN JAPAN?
A. While results so far have been less than those achieved in the U.S., I
see Japan as one of the larger turnaround opportunities in the world. With
its market down 50% from its peak in 1989, the yen has started to weaken,
consumer sentiment is improving and the economy is beginning to grow for
the first time in five years. I began last spring investing in Japanese
electronics companies, however, lately my focus has shifted to cyclical
sectors that could benefit from an economic rebound. Large holdings at the
end of the period included retailers Takashimaya, Aoyama Trading and Hankyu
Department stores; steel producers Kobe Steel and NKK, and software
developer Nintendo.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR BOND STRATEGY?
A. Asset Manager: Growth made only limited investments in bonds during the
year, seeking the greater potential return of investing in stocks. That
said, as the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates has
narrowed, I concentrated my small bond holdings on Treasury securities in
the middle of the yield curve, with current maturities between five and 15
years. They seemed to offer the best balance between attractive yield and
the potential for price gains going forward.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK?
A. Promising. Moderate growth and benign inflation mean interest rates
could head still lower in the months ahead, providing an attractive
backdrop for both stocks and bonds. Among the fund's larger holdings,
Alcoa, the world's largest producer of aluminum, as well as waste haulers
Browning-Ferris and WMX Technologies and automaker Chrysler remained
attractive values as of December 31. Another key in 1996 will be how well
foreign stocks perform, especially the fund's stake in Japan. I believe
Japan, rather than in the United States and Europe, may have the greatest
potential for gain in the months ahead.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND II: CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total return includes
changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 LIFE OF
FUND
CONTRAFUND 39.72%
S&P 500 37.56%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on January 3,
1995.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how
it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example,
has a history of growth in the long run and volatility
in the short run. In turn, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and downs, you may
have a gain.
(checkmark)
You can compare the fund's return to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock
market. This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S SEPARATE
ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF THESE ADDITIONAL
CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURN WOULD BE LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Contrafund Portfolio on January 3, 1995,
when the fund started. By December 31, 1995, your investment would have
grown to $13,972 - a 39.72% increase. With reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, a $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to
$13,756 over the same period - a 37.56% increase.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND II: CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with
Will Danoff, Portfolio
Manager of Contrafund
Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, WILL?
A. The fund performed well. Since its inception on January 3, 1995 through
the end of the period December 31, 1995, the fund outperformed the S&P 500
Index, which rose 37.56% during the same period.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund beat the average growth fund in 1995 primarily because it
invested heavily in technology stocks in the first three quarters of the
year and took profits earlier than most funds in the fourth quarter. The
fund also de-emphasized sectors sensitive to the consumer and the economy,
such as retailing and transportation, which performed poorly in 1995. The
second half of the year was dominated by the slowing U.S. economy, which
boosted prices of bonds and interest rate-sensitive stocks, but caused many
companies, particularly those sensitive to the economy, to report
disappointing earnings. The major factor influencing results of the fund
and the overall market in the second half of the year was the peaking of
the technology sector. The fund reduced its weighting in technology stocks
from 32% at the end of June to about 18% at the end of the year.
Q. YOU CONTINUED TO INCREASE THE FUND'S HOLDINGS IN THE ENERGY SECTOR
DURING THE PERIOD. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Expectations in the sector were low. I recently read an article in THE
WALL STREET JOURNAL entitled, "For Oil Traders, 1996 Is Looking Bad or
Worse." This headline captured the market's pessimistic view of oil prices
and also was indicative of its negative bias toward energy stocks. Most
energy service stocks have traded sideways for the last five years,
performing dramatically worse than the average stock, which has more than
doubled during the same period. But, while oil and gas prices have held
steady, many of the energy service companies have improved their operations
significantly. Many of these companies, including the fund's holdings
Schlumberger and Camco International, have cut costs and capital needs
meaningfully, increased market shares by acquiring smaller competitors or
watching them go out of business, and strengthened their product lines by
introducing or acquiring new, often high tech solutions for their
customers.
Q. WHERE ELSE DID YOU FIND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES?
A. The fund has raised its weightings in Japan during the past six months.
Japanese securities accounted for about 3% of the fund at the end of 1995.
Japan has been in a bear market for the last five years and the average
stock has fallen more than 50% during that time. Expectations for the
market and the economy have been extremely low, with many local investors
having put their savings everywhere but the Japanese stock market despite
near-record low valuations on many stocks. In contrast to the lousy
investor sentiment, corporate fundamentals have been improving. Forced by
the strengthening yen and the weak domestic economy, Japanese companies
have cut costs significantly to stay competitive in the world marketplace
and stabilize their eroding profits.
Q. WHAT INVESTMENTS HAVEN'T WORKED OUT AS YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED?
A. The biggest disappointment during the past six months was not selling
the technology holdings sooner and faster. The investing environment was
characterized by excessive optimism, as seen in the record numbers of
initial public offerings of small technology companies, the media
excitement over Microsoft's Windows 95 and the growing popularity of the
Internet, as well as record asset growth for technology sector mutual funds
and extremely high valuations relative to corporate profits.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. The fund is positioned cautiously for the first half of the year. Last
year's near-record bond market performance, which helped propel the stock
market to new highs throughout the year, is unlikely to repeat itself. The
Federal Reserve Board has already cut interest rates twice in the last six
months so the economy, although weak in spots, will probably not
deteriorate further. A stronger - or better than expected - economy should
push interest rates up and could force the stock market to fall. In
addition, the stock market has been trading at very high historic valuation
levels relative to corporate earnings and dividends. The market has gone
without a 12% correction for over five years - the longest streak ever.
Given the expensive prices of U.S. stocks currently, the fund is positioned
conservatively for opportunities if the market falls this year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended December 31, 1995
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Investment Grade Bond Portfolio, Asset Manager Portfolio, Index 500
Portfolio, Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio and Contrafund Portfolio (the
funds) are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund II (the trust). The
trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the funds:
SECURITY VALUATION.
INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUND. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term
securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued
either at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value. Securities for which quotations are not
readily available through the pricing service are valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures
under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO, INDEX 500 PORTFOLIO, ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH
PORTFOLIO AND CONTRAFUND PORTFOLIO. Securities for which exchange
quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if
no sale price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted
securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available (and in
certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued
primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund 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 period end. 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.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts and foreign currency options, disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates
on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net
investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The
effects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As qualified regulated investment companies under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, Investment Grade Bond, Asset Manager and
Index 500 Portfolios are not subject to income taxes to the extent that
each fund distributes substantially all of its taxable income for the
fiscal year. The Asset Manager: Growth and Contrafund Portfolios intend to
qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code. The Asset Manager and Asset Manager: Growth
Portfolios may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments
or currency repatriation. The schedules of investments include information
regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the funds are informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of
foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for
litigation, paydown gains/losses on certain securities, futures and options
transactions, defaulted bonds, foreign currency transactions, passive
foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships,
non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due
to wash sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. Each fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the funds, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that
mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized
by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The funds, through their custodian, receive delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the funds' investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the
underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. Each fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures,
writing puts, and buying calls tend to increase the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument. Selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls tend
to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge
other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk
of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of
any open futures contracts or purchased options at period end, is shown in
the schedule of investments under the captions "Purchased Options," and
"Futures Contracts," respectively. This amount reflects each contract's
exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from
changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid
secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform
under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale,
the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using
dealer-supplied valuations.
INDEXED SECURITIES. Each fund may invest in indexed securities whose values
are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies,
interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. Each
fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to
different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might
be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Indexed
securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any
loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Each fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $835,000 or 0.0%
of net assets of the Asset Manager Portfolio.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities (other than
short-term securities) is included under the caption "Other Information" at
the end of each applicable fund's schedule of investments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE.
INVESTMENT GRADE BOND, ASSET MANAGER, ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH AND CONTRAFUND
PORTFOLIOS. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly fee
that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual
fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of each fund. The group fee
rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the
monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2700% to .5200% for the Asset Manager, Asset Manager:
Growth and Contrafund Portfolios, and from .1200% to .3700% for the
Investment Grade Bond Portfolio. The annual individual fund fee rate is
.40% for the Asset Manager and Asset Manager: Growth Portfolios and .30%
for the Investment Grade Bond and Contrafund Portfolios.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as
they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the
management fees were equivalent to rates of .45%, .71%, .71% and .61%,
respectively of average net assets for the Investment Grade Bond, Asset
Manager, Asset Manager: Growth and Contrafund Portfolios, respectively.
The Board of Trustees has approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .1100% to .3700% for the Investment Grade Bond Portfolio and
from .2500% to .5200% for the Asset Manager, Asset Manager: Growth and
Contrafund Portfolios. Effective January 1, 1996, FMR voluntarily agreed to
implement these new group fee rate schedules as each results in the same or
a lower management fee.
INDEX 500 PORTFOLIO. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a fee
that is computed at an annual rate of .28% of the fund's average net
assets.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing
and shareholder servicing agent. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of
Trustees approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which FIIOC
receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account
size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing
of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period,
transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .05% of average
net assets for each of the funds.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the funds' accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Certain funds placed a portion of their portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption
"Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's schedule of
investments.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
Each fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Each fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, each fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. For
the Asset Manager Portfolio, the maximum loan and the average daily loan
balance during the period for which the loan was outstanding amounted to
$3,050,000. The weighted average interest rate was 6.4%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of .80%, 1.25%, .28%, 1.00% and 1.00% of
average net assets for Investment Grade, Asset Manager, Index 500, Asset
Manager: Growth and Contrafund Portfolios, respectively. For the period,
the reimbursement reduced expenses by $241,437 and $46,008 for Index 500
and Asset Manager: Growth, respectively.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
each fund's expenses. For the period, expenses were reduced by $588,729,
$1,367 and $26,157 for Asset Manager, Asset Manager: Growth and Contrafund
Portfolios, respectively, under this arrangement.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
Information regarding transactions with affiliated companies is included
under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's
schedule of investments.
8. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
(FILI) and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, were the record owners of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the funds and certain
unaffiliated insurance companies were record owners of more than 10% of the
total outstanding shares of the following funds:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and the Shareholders of Variable Insurance Products Fund
II:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments (except for Moody's and Standard &
Poor's ratings), and the related statements of operations and of changes in
net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the five portfolios
constituting Variable Insurance Products Fund II (the "Trust") at December
31, 1995, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the
changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods
indicated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to
as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31,
1995 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and the application
of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were
not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Managed Assets Portfolio
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Managed Assets Portfolio
of Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund posted a total return of -.26% per
share,* while the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index rose
37.53%.**
During this past year, the Portfolio was positioned to benefit from a
declining stock market and a rising price in gold shares. However, the stock
market experienced extraordinary returns, while gold stocks remained
essentially unchanged.
THE EQUITY MARKET
The Portfolio holds index put options and short positions intended to
benefit from declines in the equity markets. The value of the options has
declined, but the loss has been limited to the premiums paid. The Portfolio
has also lost value by selling both stocks and S&P 500 Futures short. Through
a discipline of "limiting losses" the Portfolio has exited these positions
during certain periods. The bulk of the Portfolio's losses during the last
fiscal year can be attributed to these positions.
The general stock market has risen sharply during the past year in
parallel with long-term Treasury bonds and strong earnings. The stock market
remains at what has in the past proven to be very expensive valuation levels,
particularly as measured by dividend yields on both an absolute basis and
relative to Treasury bill yields. The future direction of the market becomes
more complex when one considers that inflation remains tame, earnings
continue to be strong, and interest rates are declining. The correction of
the overvaluation of financial assets will ultimately be triggered by a
change in the direction of any one of these bullish supports for stock
prices.
GOLD MINING SHARES
The Portfolio's gold share position stands at approximately 25% of the
total Portfolio. Gold bullion has failed to penetrate the $400 per ounce
level significantly for the past 5 years. Each rally approaching $400 per
ounce is met by supply from either central banks or gold mining companies
selling their production forward. At some point this supply could shift
sharply into demand. Forward selling is essentially a short position that
producers may scramble to reverse in a rising gold market, while the complacen
cy of central banks may be altered should there be a shift in the public's
current positive attitude toward financial assets. The gold shares have done
little to alter the performance of the Portfolio in the last year with the
exception of some net trading profits. We still believe that should the gold
market penetrate the $400 per ounce level, the following rise will be quick
and sharp, warranting our core position.
SPECIAL SITUATIONS
We have maintained a 20% position in debt securities denominated in
Deutsche Marks, Swiss Francs, and South African Rands. The currency profits
have been locked in through hedging after the dollar dropped to 1.42 DM/$. We
will continue to monitor this position in the hope that the Portfolio can
take advantage of another dollar slide. The Portfolio has purchased
securities in a number of emerging markets. These include Venezuelan and
Argentine debt securities along with closed-end investment funds that invest
in Vietnam and Russia. In total, this asset class has proven to be very
profitable for the Portfolio.
The Portfolio purchased put options that would benefit if either the
Japanese bond market or the Japanese yen declined. Japan, a land mass the
size of California, has a Gross Domestic Product in dollars roughly equal to
the U.S. This high level, along with recent trade figures, real estate
problems and other valuation techniques points to a lower yen and higher
interest rates. This position was recently sold at a profit as the yen/$
foreign exchange rate moved from 85 to above 102.
The Portfolio has purchased Japanese equities while hedging the currency
exposure. The Japanese stock market appears to offer value after declining
over 50% from its peak in 1989. Even though Japan is facing a
difficult real estate problem, and the stock market still appears expensive
relative to earnings, there seem to be some signs of a change. The market is
cheap relative to book value and short-term interest rates. Technical
indicators such as volatility and volume patterns point to an end to the
six-year bear market. Most importantly, earnings are due to rebound as the
government provides liquidity to the economy due to its real estate problems,
a situation similar to the U.S. in 1991. Additionally, a weaker yen will
markedly improve the health of export-oriented Japan by making the price of
its goods more competitive.
The Portfolio holds Interest Only securities (IOs). After they dropped
almost 50% due to lower interest rates, the Fund began purchasing the IOs
again. The IO securities are one of the cheapest and most liquid means of
benefiting from rising interest rates. Even though rates have continued to
decline, the Portfolio is roughly break-even on the IO investment.
The Portfolio continues to search for value in the stock market and a few
names have surfaced such as Castle & Cooke, Hartmarx, Horsham, PT TriPolyta
Indonesia, A.D.R., Duty Free International, and Teledyne. While profits have
been realized on a number of equities as they have reached what we feel is a
fair valuation, the remaining companies continue to trade substantially below
our estimates of their market values.
THE OUTLOOK
In summary, the Portfolio's positions will generally benefit from stock
market declines, interest rate increases, rising gold shares, and a number of
special situations both in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, it will continue
to hold a significant U.S. Treasury Bill position in anticipation of buying
stocks at much cheaper levels.
The performance of the Portfolio has been poor over the last fiscal year.
While many themes that the Portfolio invested in have worked out well, the
primary one, profiting during a bear stock market, has proven to be a
disaster of late. The investment committee has always realized the price for
being bearish too early is poor performance, both absolute and relative. In
an attempt to limit the losses during a rising market and minimize weak
absolute returns, the Portfolio has adhered to a policy of buying put options
along with a strict discipline of exiting short positions. The markets have
surely tested our conviction over the last few years, but we feel more
strongly than ever that at present investors should take a cautious and
conservative stance toward financial assets.
Sincerely,
Comstock Partners, Inc.

DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Managed Assets Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-GENERAL:
The Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") as an open-end management investment
company operating as a series company currently offering eight series,
including the Managed Assets Portfolio, (the "Series") and is intended to be
a funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance
policies to be offered by the separate accounts of life insurance companies.
The Series is a diversified portfolio. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus")
serves as the Fund's investment adviser. Dreyfus is a direct subsidiary of
Mellon Bank, N.A. Comstock Partners, Inc. ("Comstock Partners") serves as the
Series' sub-investment adviser. Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. (the
"Distributor") acts as the distributor of the Fund's shares, which are sold
without a sales charge. The Distributor, located at One Exchange Place,
Boston, Massachusetts 02109, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI Distribution
Services, Inc., a provider of mutual fund administration services, which in
turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI Holdings, Inc., the parent company
of which is Boston Institutional Group, Inc.
The Fund currently functions as the funding vehicle for the Dreyfus
Series 2000 Variable Annuity Contract (the "Account") issued by Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company ("Mutual Benefit Life"). On July 16, 1991, the
Superior Court of New Jersey entered an Order (the "Order") appointing the
New Jersey Insurance Commissioner as Rehabilitator of Mutual Benefit Life.
The Commissioner was granted immediate exclusive possession and control of,
and title to, the business and assets of Mutual Benefit Life, including the
assets and liabilities of the Account.
The Commissioner was empowered by the Order to take such steps as he
deemed appropriate toward removing the cause and conditions that made
rehabilitation necessary. On January 15, 1993, the Commissioner filed the
First Amended Plan of Rehabilitation ("Plan") with the Court. The Plan
stipulated that the assets and liabilities of the Account would be
transferred to a separate account of MBL Life Assurance Corporation
("MBLLAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mutual Benefit Life. The Plan also
provided for the transfer of the ownership of the stock of MBLLAC to a Trust.
The Commissioner was designated as the sole Trustee of the Trust. On August
12, 1993, the Court rendered an opinion approving the Plan with certain
modifications. Two subsequent amendments to the Plan were filed and approved
by the Court. None of the modifications or amendments affected the status of
the Account. On November 10, 1993, the Court issued an Order of Confirmation
permitting the implementation of the Plan.
An order was also issued by the Court on January 28, 1994, approving the
form of the Third Amended Plan of Rehabilitation, the Election Materials and
related documents. On April 29, 1994, the Plan was implemented. Substantially
all of the assets of Mutual Benefit Life were transferred to MBLLAC which
assumed and reinsured Mutual Benefit Life's restructured insurance
liabilities. The stock of MBLLAC was assigned to the Stock Trust and the
Commissioner was designated as Trustee.
In view of the terms and conditions of both the Order and the Plan,
applications for new contracts and additional purchase payments under
existing contracts are currently not being accepted by the Account. The terms
of the Order and the Plan permit redemptions from the Account to continue as
requested.
The proceedings of the New Jersey Insurance Commissioner with respect to
Mutual Benefit Life or the Account do not apply to the separate accounts of
other life insurance companies that may use the Fund as a funding vehicle for
contracts or policies issued by them.
DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Managed Assets Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities (including options and
financial futures) are valued at the last sales price on the securities
exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales
price on the national securities market. Securities not listed on an exchange
or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no
transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked
prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for
valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars
at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are
valued at the forward rate.
The Fund accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations
of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to
that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are
allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
(B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS: The Series does not isolate that
portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign
exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in
market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net
realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and
maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency
gains or losses realized on securities transactions, the difference between
the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on
the Series' books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually
received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from
changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in
securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses
are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
(C) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend
income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including,
where applicable, amortization of discount on investments, is recognized on
the accrual basis.
(D) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized
capital gain are normally declared and paid annually, but the Series may make
distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that the net
realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the
policy of the Series not to distribute such gain.
The Series had dividends in excess of investment income-net for financial
statement purposes resulting from Federal income tax distribution
requirements.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Series reclassified $27,993
charged to undistributed income-net in prior years to paid-in capital. In
addition, the Series reclassified $350,175 charged to net realized gains to
undistributed income-net.
DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Managed Assets Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Series to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, if such
qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with
the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make
distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially
all Federal income and excise taxes. For Federal income tax purposes, each
series is treated as a single entity for the purpose of determining such
qualification.
The Series has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately
$1,782,000 available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied against
future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31,
1995. The carryover does not include net realized securities losses from
November 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995 which are treated, for Federal
income tax purposes, as arising in fiscal 1996. If not applied, $5,500 of the
carryover expires in fiscal 2001, $364,100 expires in fiscal 2002 and
$1,412,400 expires in fiscal 2003.
NOTE 3-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSAC
TIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
(A) Pursuant to the provisions of an Investment Advisory Agreement
("Agreement") with Dreyfus, the investment advisory fee is computed at the
annual rate of .375 of 1% of the average daily value of the Series' net
assets and is payable monthly. Pursuant to a Sub-Investment Advisory
Agreement with Comstock Partners, the sub-investment advisory fee is computed
at an annual rate of .375 of 1% of the average daily value of the Series' net
assets and is payable monthly.
The agreements further provide that if in any full year the aggregate
expenses of the Series, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest on borrowings
and extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any state having
jurisdiction over the Series, the Series may deduct from the payments to be
made to Dreyfus and Comstock Partners, or Dreyfus and Comstock Partners will
bear the amount of such excess to the extent required by state law. There was
no expense reimbursement for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Effective December 1, 1995, the Fund entered into a transfer agency
agreement with Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Manager, to provide personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency
services for the Fund.
(B) Each trustee who is not an "affiliated person," as defined in the Act
receives from the Fund an annual fee of $2,500 and an attendance fee of $250
per meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such
compensation.
NOTE 4-SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
(A) The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
excluding short-term securities, options and forward currency exchange
contracts during the year ended December 31, 1995 amounted to $8,587,045 and
$8,299,160, respectively.

</TABLE>
The Series enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to
hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings. When executing forward
currency exchange contracts, the Series is obligated to buy or sell a foreign
currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to
sales of forward currency exchange contracts, the Series would incur a loss
if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract
is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The Series realizes a
gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With respect
to purchases of forward currency exchange contracts, the Series would incur a
loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward
contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The Series
realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates.
The Series is also exposed to credit risk associated with counter party
nonperformance on these forward currency exchange contracts which is
typically limited to the unrealized gains on such contracts that are
recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Series may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain
exposure to or protect against changes in the market. The Series is exposed
to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying
financial instruments (see the Statement of Financial Futures). Investments
in financial futures require the Series to "mark to market" on a daily basis,
which reflects the change in the market value of the contracts at the close
of each day's trading. Typically, variation margin payments are received or
made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are
closed, the Series recognizes a realized gain or loss. These investments
require initial margin deposits with a custodian, which consist of cash or
cash equivalents, up to approximately 10% of the contract amount. The amount
of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which
the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open at December
31, 1995, and their related unrealized market appreciation (depreciation) are
set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
The Series may purchase put and call options, including restricted
options, which are not exchange traded, in order to gain exposure to or
protect against changes in the market. The Series' exposure to credit risk
associated with counterparty nonperformance on these investments is typically
limited to the market value of such investments that are disclosed in the
Statement of Investments.
(B) At December 31, 1995, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on
investments and forward currency exchange contracts was $284,198, consisting
of $1,818,850 gross unrealized appreciation and $2,103,048 gross unrealized
depreciation.
At December 31, 1995, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the statements of investments and financial futures of Dreyfus
Variable Investment Fund, Managed Assets Portfolio (one of the series
constituting the Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund), as of December 31, 1995,
and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund, Managed Assets Portfolio at
December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the
changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended,

DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Growth and Income Portfolio
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
For its fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the total return for the
Growth and Income Portfolio of Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund was 61.89%.*
This compares with a return of 37.53% for the Standard and Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index.** The Portfolio's performance does not reflect
the deduction of additional charges imposed in connection with investing in
variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
There were several reasons for this 61.89% total return of the Portfolio
in 1995. First, it was a favorable period for the overall stock market.
Second, the Portfolio was invested in several dozen holdings. We believe this
degree of concentration provides a combination of diversification with a
substantial sensitivity to the performance of individual holdings. Third, the
Portfolio was fortunate to have several individual investments which
performed quite well during the period. Given its relative concentration, the
Portfolio's performance is sensitive to the performance of the larger
individual holdings.
The Portfolio benefited from several holdings that were subject to
successful takeover bids in 1995, including Midlantic and Cordis. In
addition, several technology stocks held by the Portfolio were bid up sharply
by favorable fundamentals and market enthusiasm. While these were purchased
as long-term investments, the valuations rose to such relaltively high levels
that we felt prudence required that profits on such stocks as UUNET
Technologies and Premisys Communications be realized and they are no longer
held in the Portfolio.
To help achieve the income objective, several convertible bonds and
preferred stocks were included in the Portfolio. The Portfolio's performance
benefited from its position in the convertible bonds of American Travelers,
which sells insurance for long-term care in nursing homes. The convertible
preferred stocks of several REITs provided income, but no significant
contribution to capital appreciation in the Portfolio.
There are several long-term positive forces that have provided a
supportive background for the financial markets. First, the trend of
inflation has remained favorable in the last several years. Second, we are in
the early stages of a key demographic shift as the baby boom generation
begins to focus on the need for a permanent program of saving to provide for
future retirement income. Third, U.S. productivity growth in manufacturing
has been favorable. Finally, a broad consensus has begun to emerge on the
importance of limiting the U.S. budget deficit.
We believe that the period of strongest earnings growth in the U.S.
economy is behind us for the time being. Corporate cost-cutting is very far
advanced in many companies as are the benefits of refinancing high-cost debt.
The rate of growth of the U.S. economy is decelerating. Many multinational
companies have already reaped a significant portion of the profit benefits of
a decline in the dollar. Thus we believe that strong profit growth will
become increasingly scarce over the next year. Many of the largest positions
held by the Portfolio are companies that we believe have a good chance of
sustaining strong earnings growth even in this more challenging environment.
While overall market valuations have risen, we continue to find good
companies available in the stock market at reasonable valuation levels.
The active stock market of 1995 provided favorable opportunities for
capital appreciation. Shareholders should be aware, however, that the
Portfolio's 61.89% total return in 1995 was unusual. We would be surprised if
it were to be repeated even if market conditions are favorable in 1996.
We appreciate the willingness of our shareholders to invest in the Growth
and Income Portfolio of Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund. We will endeavor to
realize a favorable return for the shareholders commensurate with a
reasonable level of risk. There is likely to be an alternation of periods
where the net asset value of the Portfolio declines and periods when the net
asset value rises. Our focus is on achieving a satisfactory return for the
shareholders over a period of time.
Very truly yours,

DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Growth and Income Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-GENERAL:
The Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") as an open-end management investment
company, operating as a series company currently offering eight series,
including the Growth and Income Portfolio series (the "Series") and is
intended to be a funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable
life insurance policies to be offered by the separate accounts of life
insurance companies. The Series is a non-diversified portfolio. The Dreyfus
Corporation ("Dreyfus") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. Dreyfus is a
direct subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A. Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Distributor") acts as the distributor of the Fund's shares, which are
sold without a sales charge. The Distributor, located at One Exchange Place,
Boston, Massachusetts 02109, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI Distribution
Services, Inc., a provider of mutual fund administration services, which in
turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI Holdings, Inc., the parent company
of which is Boston Institutional Group, Inc.
NOTE 2-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities (including options and
financial futures) are valued at the last sales price on the securities
exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales
price on the national securities market. Securities not listed on an exchange
or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no
transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked
prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for
valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars
at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are
valued at the forward rate.
The Fund accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations
of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to
that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are
allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
(B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend
income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including,
where applicable, amortization of discount on investments, is recognized on
the accrual basis.
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. The Series declares and pays dividends from investment income-net
quarterly. Dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally
declared and paid annually, but the Series may make distributions on a more
frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code. To the extent that the net realized capital gain can be offset
by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the Series not to distribute
such gain.
DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Growth and Income Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Series to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, if such
qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with
the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make
distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially
all Federal income and excise taxes. For Federal income tax purposes, each
series is treated as a single entity for the purpose of determining such
qualification.
NOTE 3-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
(A) Pursuant to the provisions of an Investment Advisory Agreement
("Agreement") with Dreyfus, the investment advisory fee is computed at the
annual rate of .75 of 1% of the average daily value of the Series' net assets
and is payable monthly.
The Agreement further provides that if in any full year the aggregate
expenses of the Series, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest on borrowings
and extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any state having
jurisdiction over the Series, the Series may deduct from the payments to be
made to Dreyfus, or Dreyfus will bear the amount of such excess to the extent
required by state law.
However, Dreyfus had undertaken, from January 1, 1995 through July 5,
1995, to reduce the investment advisory fee paid by the Series, to the extent
that the Series' aggregate expenses (exclusive of certain expenses as
described above) exceeded specified annual percentages of the Series' average
daily net assets. The reduction in investment advisory fee, pursuant to the
undertakings amounted to $8,743 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Effective December 1, 1995, the Series compensates Dreyfus Transfer,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement
for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services
for the Series. Such compensation amounted to $36 for the period from
December 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995.
(B) Each trustee who is not an "affiliated person," as defined in the
Act, receives from the Fund an annual fee of $2,500 and an attendance fee of
$250 per meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of
such compensation.
NOTE 4-SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
(A) The following summarizes the aggregate amount of purchases and sales
of investment securities and securities sold short, excluding short-term
securities during the year ended December 31, 1995:

DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Growth and Income Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Series is engaged in short-selling which obligates the Series to
replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security
at current market value. The Series would incur a loss if the price of the
security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which
the Series replaces the borrowed security. The Series would realize a gain if
the price of the security declines between those dates. Until the Series
replaces the borrowed security, the Series will maintain daily, a segregated
account with a broker and custodian of cash and/or U.S. Government securities
sufficient to cover its short position. At December 31, 1995, there were no
securities sold short outstanding.
(B) At December 31, 1995, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on
investments was $5,013,463, consisting of $6,536,158 gross unrealized
appreciation and $1,522,695 gross unrealized depreciation.
At December 31, 1995, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund,
Growth and Income Portfolio (one of the series constituting the Dreyfus
Variable Investment Fund), as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement
of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights
for each of the years indicated therein. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund, Growth and Income Portfolio at
December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the
changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended,
and the financial highlights for each of the indicated years, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Quality Bond Portfolio
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide you with this report on the Dreyfus Variable
Investment Fund, Quality Bond Portfolio. For its annual reporting period
ended December 31, 1995, your Fund produced a total return of 20.42% per
share,* compared to 18.35% for the Merrill Lynch Domestic Master Index
(subindex D010).** Income dividends of $.686 per share were paid during the
period representing a distribution rate of 5.75% per share based on the
closing net asset value, adjusted for capital gain distributions.
THE ECONOMY
Additional evidence that economic activity remained sluggish and that
inflation continued to be under control moved the Federal Reserve Board to
further ease the Federal Funds rate in December. (The Federal Funds rate is
the rate at which the nation's banks borrow money from each other and all
other short-term rates are based on it.) This was the second reduction for
this important short-term rate in 1995, the first occurring in July. The
latest 25-basis-point reduction in December put the rate at 5.50%. Major
incentives for this additional reduction were the inflation report in
November - the increase in the Consumer Price Index was flat for the first
time in 4 1/2 years - and the generally slow rate of economic growth. As it
did in July, the Federal Reserve left unchanged the discount rate - the rate
at which the Federal Reserve lends to member banks. The discount rate
remained at 5.25% throughout 1995.
Signs of economic slowdown increased during the latter half of the year.
Weakening retail sales and very modest industrial production lent credence to
fears about the possibility of recession. Consumer spending was inhibited
last year by the slow rate of new job creation, sluggish growth in wages and
salaries, and the continued trend of corporate cost-related layoffs. The
lethargic pace of consumer spending last year culminated in one of the worst
holiday sales periods since the business slump in 1990-1991, despite steep
price markdowns by retailers.
Industrial production climbed modestly during the year. By November, the
nation's factories operated at only 83.1% of capacity, down for the third
consecutive month. This was a reflection of weakening demand and further
evidence of the diminishing pressure to raise prices. Furthermore,
inventories built up by year-end, another sign of slackening demand.
The political stalemate in Washington over the balanced budget adds
additional uncertainty to the economy; ultimately an accord will be reached
and fiscal policy will likely be a restraining force on the economy. As we go
forward without a budget agreement, reductions in annually appropriated
spending will tend to retard the economy. With an agreement, the combination
of cuts in appropriations and other spending reductions should have the same
effect.
There are strong indications that inflation is under control. Until
mid-year 1995, fear of inflation was the overriding concern of the Federal
Reserve. Now, the focus seems to have shifted to actions designed to avoid
recession. In an election year, few things are less desirable for political
incumbents than recession.
PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
During the course of the year, the Fund's average duration was between 5 3
/4 years and 6 years. Among funds of this type, these durations were somewhat
longer than the average fund. As a result of our maintaining these longer
durations, our Fund was ranked in the top 1/3 of 116 portfolios in the
Corporate Debt A Rated category by Lipper for one year and ranked 1 out of 71
funds for its five-year return***. We have eliminated holdings of USF&G
Corp., Rite Aid Corp. and Heller Financial. We have added Commercial Credit,
Dresdner Banks, Emerson Electric, and General Motors Acceptance Corp. to
the Portfolio. These changes occurred as a result of our attempt at
increasing the quality of the Portfolio. The Fund has received a four star
overall rating from Morningstar, Inc. out of 258 portfolios in the Fixed
Income category.
Included in this report is a series of detailed statements about your
Fund's holdings and its financial condition. We hope they are informative.
Please know that we appreciate greatly your continued confidence in the Fund
and in The Dreyfus Corporation.
Very truly yours,

DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Quality Bond Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-GENERAL:
The Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") as an open-end management investment
company, operating as a series company currently offering eight series,
including the Quality Bond Portfolio series (the "Series") which is intended
to be a funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life
insurance policies to be offered by the separate accounts of life insurance
companies. The Series is a diversified portfolio. The Dreyfus Corporation
("Dreyfus") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. Dreyfus is a direct
subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A. Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. (the
"Distributor") acts as the distributor of the Fund's shares, which are sold
without a sales charge. The Distributor, located at One Exchange Place,
Boston, Massachusetts 02109, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI Distribution
Services, Inc., a provider of mutual fund administration services, which in
turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI Holdings, Inc., the parent company
of which is Boston Institutional Group, Inc.
The Fund currently functions as the funding vehicle for the Dreyfus
Series 2000 Variable Annuity Contract (the "Account") issued by Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company ("Mutual Benefit Life"). On July 16, 1991, the
Superior Court of New Jersey entered an Order (the "Order") appointing the
New Jersey Insurance Commissioner as Rehabilitator of Mutual Benefit Life.
The Commissioner was granted immediate exclusive possession and control of,
and title to, the business and assets of Mutual Benefit Life, including the
assets and liabilities of the Account.
The Commissioner was empowered by the Order to take such steps as he
deemed appropriate toward removing the cause and conditions that made
rehabilitation necessary. On January 15, 1993, the Commissioner filed the
First Amended Plan of Rehabilitation ("Plan") with the Court. The Plan
stipulated that the assets and liabilities of the Account would be
transferred to a separate account of MBL Life Assurance Corporation
("MBLLAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mutual Benefit Life. The Plan also
provided for the transfer of the ownership of the stock of MBLLAC to a Trust.
The Commissioner was designated as the sole Trustee of the Trust. On August
12, 1993, the Court rendered an opinion approving the Plan with certain
modifications. Two subsequent amendments to the Plan were filed and approved
by the Court. None of the modifications or amendments affected the status of
the Account. On November 10, 1993, the Court issued an Order of Confirmation
permitting the implementation of the Plan.
An order was also issued by the Court on January 28, 1994, approving the
form of the Third Amended Plan of Rehabilitation, the Election Materials and
related documents. On April 29, 1994, the Plan was implemented. Substantially
all of the assets of Mutual Benefit Life were transferred to MBLLAC which
assumed and reinsured Mutual Benefit's Life's restructured insurance
liabilities. The stock of MBLLAC was assigned to the Stock Trust and the
Commissioner was designated as Trustee.
In view of the terms and conditions of both the Order and the Plan,
applications for new contracts and additional purchase payments under
existing contracts are currently not being accepted by the Account. The terms
of the Order and the Plan permit redemptions from the Account to continue as
requested.
The proceedings of the New Jersey Insurance Commissioner with respect to
Mutual Benefit Life or the Account do not apply to the separate accounts of
other life insurance companies that may use the Fund as a funding vehicle for
contracts or policies issued by them.
DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Quality Bond Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments (excluding short-term investments
and U.S. Government obligations) are valued each business day by an
independent pricing service ("Service") approved by the Board of Trustees.
Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are
representative of the bid side of the market in the judgement of the Service
are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the
Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by
the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities).
Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolios' securities)
are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods
which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable
quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers;
and general market conditions. Investments in U.S. Government obligations are
valued at the mean between quoted bid and asked prices. Short-term investments
are carried at amortized cost, which approximates value.
The Fund accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations
of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to
that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are
allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
(B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest
income, including, where applicable, amortization of discount on investments,
is recognized on the accrual basis.
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid monthly.
Dividends from net realized capital gain are normally declared and paid
annually, but the Series may make distributions on a more frequent basis to
comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. To
the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss
carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the Series not to distribute such
gain.
(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Series to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the
best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable
income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and
excise taxes. For Federal income tax purposes, each series is treated as a
single entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
NOTE 3-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
(A) Pursuant to the provisions of an Investment Advisory Agreement
("Agreement") with Dreyfus, the investment advisory fee is computed at the
annual rate of .65 of 1% of the average daily value of the Series' net assets
and is payable monthly.
The Agreement further provides that if in any full year the aggregate
expenses of the Series, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest on borrowings
and extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any state having
jurisdiction over the Series, the Series may deduct from the payments to be
made to Dreyfus, or Dreyfus will bear the amount of such excess to the extent
required by state law.
DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND, Quality Bond Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
However, Dreyfus had undertaken, from January 1, 1995 through July 5, 1995,
to reduce the investment advisory fee paid by the
Series, to the extent that the Series' aggregate expenses (exclusive of
certain expenses as described above) exceeded specified annual percentages of
the Series' average daily net assets. The reduction in investment advisory
fee, pursuant to the undertakings amounted to $10,017 for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
Effective December 1, 1995, the Fund entered into a transfer agency
agreement with Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus,
to provide personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for
the Series.
(B) Each trustee who is not an "affiliated person," as defined in the
Act, receives from the Fund an annual fee of $2,500 and an attendance fee of
$250 per meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of
such compensation.

Annual Report
December 31, 1995
Dear Investor
Your fund finished 1995 in line with its benchmark, the unmanaged Morgan
Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, and Far East Index, and
somewhat behind it over the past six months. Many international markets
continued to move ahead in the fourth quarter, capping a respectable year.
Performance was reasonable except when compared with the remarkable U.S.
stock market, which returned 37.6% as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index. Only Switzerland surpassed U.S. stocks in dollar terms.
Established markets outperformed emerging markets worldwide. During the year,
Japan, Germany, and France rose, while Brazil, Mexico, China, Korea, and many
other markets fell in value.

During the second half of 1995, your fund's underweighted position in
the strong Japanese market impaired fund performance. This was balanced to
some extent by favorable stock selection in the U.K. and Continental Europe.
The direction of interest rates played a significant role in the equity
market advances. With the outlook for inflation benign throughout the world,
and many governments anxious to tighten their fiscal policies, yields fell and
bonds rallied strongly, boosting stock returns. There was also help from
accommodative central banks looking to stimulate softening economies. Both the
Federal Reserve and the Bundesbank cut short-term rates, while the Bank of
Japan pumped liquidity into the economic system.
Perhaps the major difference between the U.S. and foreign markets during
the latter part of the year was that U.S. corporate earnings lived up to
expectations, while earnings were generally disappointing elsewhere. This was
most likely a result of less mature economic recoveries overseas and a less
aggressive approach to cost-cutting than in the U.S.
Market Review
European stock markets continued their steady ascent, making the Continent the
best performing foreign region over the year. The U.K. led the round of
interest rate cuts overseas after economic growth slowed to 2.4% annually in
the third quarter, and inflation eased. Signs of weakening industrial
production, slower monetary growth, and inflation below 2% were all
contributing factors.

Bond yields fell everywhere, justifying higher equity prices. Lower
German yields were welcomed in France by President Chirac and Prime Minister
Juppe, since they then had room to reduce French rates to cope with stubbornly
high unemployment of 11.5%. We expect slow but steady growth across Europe
into 1997, with inflation under control.
Our major overweighting in Europe continued to be the Netherlands at the
expense of Germany and Switzerland. This was not necessarily because the Dutch
economy is particularly robust, but rather because the Netherlands is home to
some of the best and most reasonably priced stocks on the Continent, in our
view.
In contrast to the steady climb in European markets, the year divided
into different halves for Japan. Following a miserable first half, Japanese
equities sprang to life in the third quarter and continued strong through
year-end. However, the gain in stocks was trimmed for U.S. investors by the
yen's weakness versus the dollar.
For the year as a whole, both the yen and Japanese stocks moved less
than 5%, masking volatility in both markets. The catalyst was aggressive
reflation from the Bank of Japan following continued signs of price deflation.
The central bank bought bonds, increased issuance of bank notes, and
intervened in currency markets.
CHART #1 Geographical Diversification
Early signs of success have begun to appear. Bank lending is growing,
the money supply is expanding, and emergence from recession seems likely.
However, we believe the recovery will be weak. While valuations look
attractive, many Japanese companies earn a low return on equity, and we found
more compelling opportunities elsewhere.
With the spotlight back on Japan, many other Asian markets were in
eclipse, although Hong Kong and New Zealand performed reasonably well. The
smaller markets in the region had a difficult year, with China and India
experiencing the worst problems.
A common thread throughout the region was the continuing downgrading of
earnings expectations. Many economies overheated after several years of
superior growth, and interest rates rose as a result in Malaysia, Thailand,
and the Philippines. The combination of rising rates and disappointing
earnings was poorly received by investors.
Despite this negative environment, however, we added to holdings in the
area since we believe the Pacific region outside of Japan remains an
attractive long-term growth story, with high savings and investment coupled
with sound financial management. Most markets are as cheaply valued as at any
time in the past 10 years.
Confidence is returning to the real estate market in Hong Kong, which is
also benefiting from falling inflation in China. Singapore remained in good
shape, buoyed by strong demand for exports of its electronic products. Korea's
economy was healthy, although its stock market was hard hit by the scandal
involving former President Roh. We added to these three markets during the
past few months.
Markets in Latin America were generally down, although performance
varied from country to country. Argentine stocks were up while Brazilian
equities fell. There were grounds for guarded optimism in Mexico. The
political situation was murky, but a quick recession followed by a soundly
based recovery now appears likely. The current account posted a healthy $500
million surplus after showing a $7.6 billion deficit a year ago - a major
factor in the massive peso devaluation of late 1994.

The steady economic transformation in Brazil was on track. With the real
(local currency) pegged to the U.S. dollar, inflation fell, and the
privatization and deregulation of public sector industries continued. Brazil
dropped its proposed capital gains tax on foreigners and pursued policies
friendly to stock investors.
Chile is the role model for the region. Its high savings rate and
economic deregulation have underpinned Chile's long-term dynamism, although
recent signs of overheating led to some monetary tightening. We are optimistic
about the long-term prospects for Latin America in general.
Summary and Outlook
We believe there are persuasive reasons to pursue a policy of international
diversification over the long term, despite the superior performance of
domestic equities last year. Foreign markets account for nearly two-thirds of
world capitalization, and many of them offer the potential for stronger
economic growth than the U.S.
We see earnings growth slowing in the U.S. during 1996, while remaining
strong internationally. Inflation is under control in Europe, monetary policy
is easing, and earnings growth is approximately two years behind the U.S.
cycle. Japan shows signs of responding to aggressive government policies to
trigger an economic recovery. Asian earnings growth may look pedestrian
measured against historical standards, but it is still projected at around
20%. Asian stock markets currently look cheaper than they did after both the
1987 crash and the last recession. Similarly, much of the bad news in Latin
America is already reflected in regional stock prices.
Therefore, we expect international stocks to perform reasonably well in
1996 and we will remain focused on buying shares at appealing prices.

Notes To Financial Statements
T. Rowe Price International Stock Portfolio / December 31, 1995
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
T. Rowe Price International Series, Inc. (the Corporation) is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. The International Stock Portfolio (the
fund), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is the sole
portfolio currently established by the Corporation. The shares of the fund are
currently being offered only to separate accounts of certain insurance
companies as an investment medium for both variable annuity contracts and
variable life insurance policies.
A) Valuation - Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange (including Nasdaq) are valued at the last quoted sales price at the
time the valuations are made. A security which is listed or traded on more
than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be
the primary market for such security. Other equity securities and those listed
securities that are not traded on a particular day are valued at a price
within the limits of the latest bid and asked prices deemed by the Board of
Directors, or by persons delegated by the Board best to reflect fair value.
Short-term debt securities are valued at their cost which, when combined
with accrued interest, approximates fair value.
For purposes of determining the fund's net asset value per share, the
U.S. dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank.
Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value
as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the officers of the
fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.
B) Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated into
U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the dates of such
transactions. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and
unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of such gains
and losses.
C) Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains
and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend
date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
federal income tax regulations and may differ from those determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Note 2 - Investment Transactions
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following
practices to manage exposure to certain risks or enhance performance. The
investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are
described more fully in the fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information.
A) Emerging Markets - At December 31, 1995, the fund held investments in
securities of companies located in emerging markets. Future economic or
political developments could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both,
of such securities.
B) Securities Lending - To earn additional income, the fund lends its
securities to approved brokers. At December 31, 1995, the market value of
securities on loan was $918,834, which was fully collateralized with cash.
Although the risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a
delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if
the borrower fails to return them.
C) Other - Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than
short-term securities, aggregated $40,279,036 and $3,696,433, respectively,
for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Note 3 - Federal Income Taxes
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of
its taxable income. Capital loss carryforwards utilized in 1995 amounted to
$949. The fund intends to retain gains realized in future periods that may be
offset by available capital loss carryforwards.
At December 31, 1995, the aggregate cost of investments for federal
income tax and financial reporting purposes was $48,031,319 and net unrealized
gain aggregated $2,204,923, of which $3,313,763 related to appreciated
investments and $1,108,840 to depreciated investments.
Note 4 - Related Party Transactions
The fund is managed by Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. (the Manager),
which is owned by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., Robert Fleming Holdings
Limited, and Jardine Fleming Holdings Limited under a joint venture agreement.
The investment management and administrative agreement between the fund
and the Manager provides for an all-inclusive annual fee, computed daily and
paid monthly, equal to 1.05% of the fund's average daily net assets.
Pursuant to the agreement, investment management, shareholder servicing,
transfer agency, accounting, and custody services are provided to the fund,
and interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses are
paid directly by the fund.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the fund, in the ordinary
course of business, paid commissions of $5,341 to, and placed security
purchase and sale orders aggregating $1,613,544 with certain affiliates of the
Manager in connection with the execution of various portfolio transactions.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price International Series, Inc.
and Shareholders of the International Stock Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the International Stock Portfolio (constituting T. Rowe Price International
Series, Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 1995, and
the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial
highlights for each of the fiscal years presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio
Annual Report
December 31, 1995
Dear Investor
The equity market continued to perform well in the second half of 1995,
reflecting strong corporate earnings, low inflation, a benign interest rate
environment, and strong investor demand. The unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index concluded its best year since 1958 and posted one of the strongest
12-month returns in history.
As shown in the table below, your fund did particularly well over the
past six months with a return of 16.4%, surpassing the returns of both the
broad market and the Lipper Equity Income Funds Average. For the year as a
whole, the fund comfortably exceeded the peer group average of similarly
managed funds and trailed the exceptionally powerful S&P 500.
Since our conservative investment approach sometimes lags the broad
index in unusually robust markets, we were pleased with the year's results.
Keep in mind that the generally conservative nature of your fund's investments
is also tailored to protect shareholders in the event of market declines.

Dividend Distribution
On December 26, your Board of Trustees declared a fourth quarter dividend of
$0.11 per share, bringing 1995 total distributions to $0.70, including a $0.26
first quarter capital gain distribution. The fourth quarter dividend was paid
on December 28, 1995, to shareholders of record on December 26.
Portfolio Review
The strong performance of many financial stocks, the positive contribution of
our holdings in the health care sector, and gains generated by
large-capitalization consumer products stocks were among the most important
influences on 1995 fund results. Our investments in companies such as J.P.
Morgan, First Interstate, Sallie Mae, and Travelers Group were particularly
profitable.
Pharmaceutical stocks also performed extremely well. As you can see in
the Major Portfolio Changes table following this letter, some of the
successful investments we made in this sector were trimmed in the second half
of the year. After stocks such as Eli Lilly and Schering-Plough appreciated,
our valuation discipline encouraged us to reinvest some of the assets in more
undervalued stocks with attractive dividend yields. We also eliminated
Halliburton, an oil well services and engineering firm, following an advance
in its share price.
Over the past six months, the prices of many cyclical stocks fell as
investors worried about the durability of corporate earnings gains in 1996.
The decline in the value of such stocks as Union Camp, Betz Laboratories,
International Paper, and DuPont, among others, rendered them exceedingly
attractive, in our view.
For example, in 1995, Union Camp announced two dividend increases and a
stock buyback. With its substantially higher-than-market dividend yield and a
share price that had fallen sharply before our purchase, we believed it
prudent to buy shares and wait for the fundamentals of this quality company to
improve and for investor perceptions of the company to change for the better.
Regarding asset allocation, we increased your fund's exposure to both
stocks and cash reserves slightly during the past six months and lowered its
component of bonds.
CHART 1: Security Diversification Pie Chart
Summary and Outlook
We anticipate positive but slowing economic growth along with a more
challenging stock market environment in 1996. Instead of making detailed
economic and market forecasts, we would like to reiterate our primary
emphasis, which is on sound, conservatively based investments on your behalf.
This has been the hallmark of our approach for more than a decade. In almost
any market environment, we believe there will be intriguing opportunities on
which to capitalize profitably.
As always, we appreciate your continued confidence and support.
Respectfully submitted,
Brian C. Rogers

A Word on Market Corrections
_____________________________________________________________________________
After the stock market's spectacular run in 1995, concerns about a
"correction" have intensified. Most market observers consider a correction to
be a short and sometimes steep decline following a period of rising prices.
Moderate corrections of around 10% have been quite common, occurring on
average about once every two years over the last half-century, according to
Ned Davis Research.
The market as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average has not
experienced a moderate correction since early 1994. Furthermore, the Dow last
hit a bear market bottom - defined as a drop of at least 20% - in October
1990. Therefore, it would not be surprising to see a modest pullback in 1996,
on the order of 5% to 10%.
Corrections are not only common, but can be beneficial for long-term
investors, especially those who invest in regular amounts through dollar cost
averaging. In a correction, overall stock prices decline, often leading to
more attractive valuations and good buying opportunities. History has shown
that investors who continue to buy through a downturn fare quite well. In
fact, the Dow has proven resilient in the aftermath of past corrections of
around 10%, taking an average of just six months to recover its losses,
according to Ned Davis. (To realize the benefits of dollar cost averaging, you
should be prepared to continuously purchase securities over a period of time,
in up and down markets. This approach does not assure a gain nor protect you
from a loss in declining markets.)
We raise the issue of a market correction not as a prediction, but as a
reminder that stock prices do not move in only one direction. If you are
satisfied that your investments are appropriate for your various objectives,
we recommend that you stay the course when a correction eventually occurs.

Notes To Financial Statements
T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio / December 31, 1995
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc. (the Corporation) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Equity Income Portfolio (the fund), a
diversified, open-end management investment company, is one of the portfolios
established by the Corporation. The shares of the fund are currently being
offered only to separate accounts of certain insurance companies as an
investment medium for both variable annuity contracts and variable life
insurance policies.
A) Valuation - Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price at the time the valuations
are made. A security which is listed or traded on more than one exchange is
valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market
for such security. Listed securities that are not traded on a particular day
and securities that are regularly traded in the over-the-counter market are
valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. Other equity securities
are valued at a price within the limits of the latest bid and asked prices
deemed by the Board of Directors, or by persons delegated by the Board, best
to reflect fair value.
Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and
are valued at a price deemed best to reflect fair value as quoted by dealers
who make markets in these securities or by an independent pricing service.
Short-term debt securities are valued at their cost which, when combined with
accrued interest, approximates fair value.
For purposes of determining the fund's net asset value per share, the
U.S. dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank.
Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value
as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the officers of the
fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.
B) Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated into
U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the dates of such
transactions. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and
unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of such gains
and losses.
C) Premiums and Discounts - Premiums and discounts on debt securities are
amortized for both financial reporting and tax purposes.
D) Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses
are reported on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions
to shareholders are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income
tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The fund follows the practice of
equalization under which undistributed net investment income per share is
unaffected by fund shares sold or redeemed.
Note 2 - Investment Transactions
A) Commercial Paper Joint Account - The fund, and other affiliated funds, may
transfer uninvested cash into a commercial paper joint account, the daily
aggregate balance of which is invested in high-grade commercial paper. All
securities purchased by the joint account satisfy the fund's criteria as to
quality, yield, and liquidity.
B) Other - Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $9,180,712 and $475,059, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 1995.
Note 3 - Federal Income Taxes
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of
its taxable income.
In order for the fund's capital accounts and distributions to
shareholders to reflect the tax character of certain transactions, $9,398 of
undistributed net investment income and $45,420 of undistributed net realized
gains were reclassified as a $54,818 increase to paid-in-capital during the
year ended December 31, 1995. The results of operations and net assets were
not affected by the reclassifications.
At December 31, 1995, the aggregate cost of investments for federal
income tax and financial reporting purposes was $13,607,899 and net unrealized
gain aggregated $1,423,363, of which $1,451,863 related to appreciated
investments and $28,500 to depreciated investments.
For federal income tax purposes the fund paid a distribution from net
long-term capital gains of $31,315 ($0.0296 per share to shareholders of
record on December 26, 1995). This amount may differ from that cited elsewhere
in this report due to differences in the calculation for financial reporting
and federal income tax purposes.
Note 4 - Related Party Transactions
The investment management and administrative agreement between the fund and T.
Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the Manager) provides for an all-inclusive annual
fee, computed daily and paid monthly, equal to 0.85% of the fund's average
daily net assets. Pursuant to the agreement, investment management,
shareholder servicing, transfer agency, accounting, and custody services are
provided to the fund, and interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and
extraordinary expenses are paid directly by the fund.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price Equity Series, Inc.
and Shareholders of the Equity Income Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Equity Income Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting T. Rowe Price
Equity Series, Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31,
1995, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the
financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

QUEST FOR VALUE ACCUMULATION TRUST
Managed by
LOGO
We at OpCap Advisors are pleased to report on the investment activities
and results of the portfolios in the Quest for Value Accumulation Trust for
1995, a very favorable year for investors. Prices of stocks and bonds rose
sharply during the year in an environment of declining interest rates, low
inflation, strong corporate profits and slow economic growth.
Our Value-Based Investment Philosophy
The portfolios in the Quest for Value Accumulation Trust are intended for
the long-term investor who seeks to preserve capital and make it grow. Our
objective in managing the portfolios is to deliver above-average returns with
below-average risk.
Our philosophy in buying common stocks is to purchase quality companies
at reasonable prices. We believe the single most important determinant of
whether a stock will increase in value is the rate of return on invested
capital within the company. In our view, companies with high returns can
compound their capital and increase their value for extended periods.
Therefore, we look for companies with above-average returns where those
returns are protected by strong competitive positions. Moreover, we want these
companies to use their cash flow to benefit shareholders -- through stock
buybacks or astute acquisitions, for instance. We stick with good companies
until their value is reflected in the stock price, or until we find companies
that offer even better value.
Similarly, we are value investors in the bond market. We seek to preserve
capital and maximize income by looking for sector, maturity and quality groups
that provide the highest yield at the lowest price with the least amount of
risk. We avoid such techniques as interest rate forecasting and market timing,
which in our view tend to increase volatility and add to risk.
Name Changes
In November, the Trust's investment adviser changed its name from Quest
for Value Advisors to OpCap Advisors. Effective May 1, 1996, the name of the
Accumulation Trust will become OCC Accumulation Trust. These name changes will
link both the Trust and its adviser more closely to Oppenheimer Capital, the
adviser's parent. OpCap is short for Oppenheimer Capital, while OCC is the New
York Stock Exchange symbol of the publicly traded partnership which owns a
majority interest in Oppenheimer Capital. Most important of all, these name
changes have no effect on the investment philosophy or structure of the
Accumulation Trust. The same professionals continue to manage the portfolios
of the Trust, employing the same value philosophy and backed by the same
organization and support staff.
<PAGE>
SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
The Small Cap Portfolio, which as its name implies invests primarily in
the common stocks of smaller companies, had a total return of 15.2% in 1995,
below the total return of 28.5% with dividends included for the Russell 2000
Index, a widely followed benchmark which includes smaller capitalization
stocks. The Portfolio's performance was 25th among the 28 small company growth
funds in Lipper's Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service
Report. In the 1995 second half, the Portfolio provided a total return of
8.8%, compared with 12.3% for the Russell 2000.
The Portfolio underperformed the index, in large part, because it did not
own many technology or financial service company stocks, two of the small cap
market's strongest sectors in 1995. Conversely, the Portfolio was overweighted
in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Many quality REITs appear to be
significantly undervalued. However, with their defensive investment
characteristics, they did not perform well during 1995 in a rising market.
For the five years ended December 31, 1995, the Portfolio provided an
average annual total return of 19.7%*, compared with the 21.0% average annual
return for the Russell 2000 Index. The Portfolio's five-year performance was
sixth among seven funds in the Lipper small company growth fund category. From
its inception on August 1, 1988 through December 31, 1995, the Portfolio
provided an average annual total return of 14.2%*, exceeding the 12.6% annual
total return for the Russell Index. Returns for the Portfolio take into
account expenses incurred by the Portfolio, but not any of the charges imposed
by the Variable Accounts.
Technology issues are only part of the small cap universe, and an
expensive and volatile part at that. The rest of the small cap market carries
valuations that are, in many cases, quite reasonable. We are conservative
investors in small cap stocks, seeking to control volatility and generate
superior returns by purchasing quality businesses that are mispriced by the
market. The Portfolio owns a diverse group of companies distinguished by their
excellent business and financial characteristics, including high cash flow and
strong competitive positions. An example is Oak Industries, Inc., the
Portfolio's largest equity position. Oak Industries is the dominant supplier
of coaxial cable connectors to the cable television industry and is benefiting
from systems upgrading throughout the industry. The telecommunications bill
before the Congress, if passed in its current form, should further boost Oak's
business by promoting increased competition in the delivery of
telecommunications services to the home. Moreover, international revenues
account for approximately 40% of the sales of Oak's major subsidiary, and
these revenues are increasing at a rate of about 40% a year as Oak capitalizes
on the rapid growth of cable TV overseas. Oak Industries earns a high return
on capital and has increased its gross margins from 18.7% in 1989 to 40.1% in
1995. We believe the stock is significantly undervalued at 11 times reported
earnings.
We remain disciplined and confident in our approach and continue to
perform the rigorous, in-depth analysis to identify quality businesses, such
as Oak Industries, where the value of the franchise is underpriced in the
market. Our goal is to provide above-average returns with below-average risk
over time as the market recognizes the merits of the undervalued stocks we
own.
As of December 31, 1995, the Portfolio's net assets were allocated 85% to
common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks, 14% to cash and
cash equivalents, and 1% to assets in excess of liabilities. The Portfolio
owned the common stocks of 74 companies. Major industry positions were in the
manufacturing, electronics, energy, real estate and insurance sectors. The
Portfolio's five largest equity holdings were Oak Industries, Inc., with its
core business of manufacturing coaxial cable connectors for the cable
television industry; BancTec, Inc., which provides electronic systems and
software for processing financial documents and transactions; Westpoint
Stevens, Inc., a leading manufacturer of home textiles, including sheets and
other bedding products; Crane Co., which manufactures aerospace, fluid
handling and controls components and vending machines and distributes and
manufactures housing-related building products; and True North Communications,
Inc., an advertising agency holding company owning Foote, Cone & Belding
Communications, Inc., one of the largest advertising agencies in North
America.

* Based on results of the Quest for Value Accumulation Trust and its
predecessor. On September 16, 1994, an investment company which had commenced
operations on August 1, 1988, then called Quest for Value Accumulation Trust
(the "Old Trust"), was effectively divided into two investment funds -- the
Old Trust and the present Quest for Value Accumulation Trust (the "Present
Trust") -- at which time the Present Trust commenced operations. The total net
assets of the Small Cap Portfolio immediately after the transaction were
$139,812,573 in the Old Trust and $8,129,274 in the Present Trust. For the
periods prior to September 16, 1994, the performance reflects the performance
of the corresponding Small Cap Portfolio of the Old Trust.

QUEST FOR VALUE ACCUMULATION TRUST
SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995
(1) Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Quest for Value Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") was organized on May 12,
1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at $.01 par value: the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Managed
Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the U. S. Government Income Portfolio and the
Money Market Portfolio. OpCap Advisors (formerly called Quest for Value
Advisors; the "Adviser"), a majority-owned (99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer
Capital, serves as the Trust's investment adviser. The Small Cap Portfolio
(the "Portfolio"), one of the Trust's seven portfolios, had no operations
until September 16, 1994, when the Enterprise Accumulation Trust Small Cap
Portfolio (formerly known as Quest for Value Accumulation Trust Small Cap
Portfolio), distributed cash and securities with an aggregate market value of
$8,129,274 in exchange for 464,795 shares of the Portfolio. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the
Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements:
(A) Valuation of Investments
Investment securities, other than debt securities, listed on a national
exchange or traded in the over-the-counter National Market System are valued
each business day at the last reported sale price; if there are no such
reported sales, the securities are valued at their last quoted bid price.
Other securities traded over-the-counter and not part of the National Market
System are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investment debt securities
(other than short-term obligations) are valued each business day by an
independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments are
valued by the pricing service using methods which include current market
quotations from a major market maker in the securities and trader-reviewed
"matrix" prices. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of
more than sixty days are valued on a "marked-to-market" basis, that is, at
prices based upon market quotations for securities of similar type, yield,
quality and maturity. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity
of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
by the Board of Trustees. The ability of issuers of debt instruments to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific
industry or region.
(B) Federal Income Taxes
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders;
accordingly, no Federal income tax provision is required.
(C) Security Transactions and Other Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of securities, the cost of securities sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded
on the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts or
premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest
income over the lives of the respective securities.
(D) Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income
and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least
annually.
The Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in

QUEST FOR VALUE ACCUMULATION TRUST
SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 1995
(1) Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(D) Dividends and Distributions (continued)
accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment: temporary
differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which
exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as dividends in
excess of net investment income or distributions in excess of net realized
capital gains, respectively. To the extent distributions exceed current and
accumulated earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes, they are
reported as distributions of paid-in-surplus or tax return of capital. At
December 31, 1995, the Portfolio did not have any permanent book-tax
differences.
(E) Allocation of Expenses
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its
net assets in relation to the total net assets of all the applicable
portfolios of the Trust or another reasonable basis.
(F) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(G) Purchased Put Option Accounting Policy
When a Portfolio purchases a put option, it pays a premium and an amount
equal to the premium is recorded as an investment. The option is subsequently
marked-to-market to reflect its current market value. The Portfolio, as
purchaser of an option, has control over whether the option is exercised. If
an option expires unexercised, the Portfolio realizes a loss in the amount of
the premium paid. If an option is exercised, the premium paid is an adjustment
to the proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Portfolio has
realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium paid and the
amount received on effecting a closing sale transaction is the realized gain
or loss. The Portfolio, as a purchaser of an option, bears the risk of the
potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts.
(2) Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
(a) The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to
the Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as
of the close of business each day at the annual rate of .60%.
The Adviser has agreed to waive that portion of the advisory fee and to
reimburse any necessary expenses to limit operating expenses of the Portfolio
to .74% of average daily net assets on an annual basis through at least
December 31, 1995.
(b) Total brokerage commissions paid by the Portfolio for the year ended
December 31, 1995, amounted to $35,395, of which Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., an
affiliate of the Adviser, received $12,805.
(3) Purchases and Sales of Securities
For the year ended December 31, 1995, purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than short-term securities were $10,968,368 and $6,786,171,
respectively.
(4) Capital Loss Deferral
Capital losses incurred after October 31, 1995 are deemed to arise on the
first business day of the following fiscal year. Accordingly, the Portfolio
incurred and elected to defer $87,890 in net capital losses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
Quest for Value Accumulation Trust -- Small Cap Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Small Cap
Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") at December 31, 1995, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net
assets and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
for the period September 16, 1994 (commencement of operations) through
December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

MANAGED PORTFOLIO
The Managed Portfolio, which invests in stocks, bonds and cash
equivalents, has consistently ranked among the top funds in its category. It
continued its outstanding performance in 1995, providing a total return of
45.6%, well above the total return of 37.6% with dividends included for the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), an unmanaged index of 500 of the
largest corporations weighted by market capitalization. This performance
ranked second best among the 68 flexible portfolio funds in Lipper's Variable
Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service Report. In the 1995 second
half, the Portfolio provided a total return of 12.2%, compared with 14.4% for
the S&P 500.
The Portfolio has been a consistently excellent performer over time. This
fact was recognized by Morningstar, Inc., when it named Richard J. Glasebrook
II, manager of the Portfolio, as its 1995 Variable Fund Manager of the Year.
Morningstar is a well-known commentator on variable annuity performance
results. For the five years ended December 31, 1995, the Portfolio's average
annual total return of 23.3%* exceeded by a wide margin the 16.6% return of
the S&P 500. This performance was second best among the 54 flexible portfolio
funds in the Lipper universe. From inception on August 1, 1988 through
December 31, 1995, the Portfolio provided an average annual total return of
19.7%*, compared with 15.2% for the S&P 500. Returns for the Portfolio take
into account expenses incurred by the Portfolio, but not other charges imposed
by the Variable Accounts.
The Portfolio has achieved its superior long-term performance by
investing in quality undervalued stocks and holding them for price
appreciation. Its three largest holdings, McDonnell Douglas Corp., Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) and Citicorp, all reached new highs in
the 1995 fourth quarter. However, the market price of its fourth largest
holding, Intel Corp., declined in the quarter due to fears that a poorer
business environment might lead to reduced demand for the company's
semiconductor products. Intel is the Portfolio's only significant investment
in the technology sector.
Although the Portfolio can buy bonds and money market securities, in
practice it invests primarily in common stocks based on the premise that
stocks provide the best returns over time. As of December 31, 1995, 84% of the
Portfolio's net assets were invested in common stocks and securities
convertible into common stocks, 2% in Treasury notes and bonds, and 14% in
cash and cash equivalents.
In the 1995 second half, the Portfolio increased its existing positions
or added new positions in the common stocks of such companies as Becton,
Dickinson & Co., Champion International Corp., Reebok International Ltd.,
First Interstate Bancorp, Mattel, Inc. and Tenneco, Inc. Reduced or eliminated
during the second half were investments in such stocks as Mellon Bank Corp.,
Shaw Industries, Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corp.
The Portfolio owned the common stocks of 34 companies as of December 31,
1995. Major industry positions were in the banking, financial services,
aerospace and defense, consumer products, and insurance sectors. The
Portfolio's five largest equity holdings were McDonnell Douglas Corp., the
nation's largest manufacturer of military aircraft and an important competitor
in commercial aircraft; Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac), the
second largest insurer of home mortgages in the United States; Citicorp, a
leading bank; Intel Corp., a major producer of semiconductors; and Freeport
McMoRan Copper & Gold (class B), which produces copper and gold at a mine in
the Indonesian region of Irian Jaya.

* Based on results of the Quest for Value Accumulation Trust and its
predecessor. On September 16, 1994, an investment company which had commenced
operations on August 1, 1988, then called Quest for Value Accumulation Trust
(the "Old Trust"), was effectively divided into two investment funds -- the
Old Trust and the present Quest for Value Accumulation Trust (the "Present
Trust") -- at which time the Present Trust commenced operations. The total net
assets of the Managed Portfolio immediately after the transaction were
$682,601,380 in the Old Trust and $51,354,102 in the Present Trust. For the
periods prior to September 16, 1994, the performance reflects the performance
of the corresponding Managed Portfolio of the Old Trust.

QUEST FOR VALUE ACCUMULATION TRUST
MANAGED PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995
(1) Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Quest for Value Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") was organized on May 12,
1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at $.01 par value: the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Managed
Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the U. S. Government Income Portfolio and the
Money Market Portfolio. OpCap Advisors (formerly called Quest for Value
Advisors; the "Adviser"), a majority-owned (99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer
Capital, serves as the Trust's investment adviser. The Managed Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), one of the Trust's seven portfolios, had no operations until
September 16, 1994, when the Enterprise Accumulation Trust Managed Portfolio
(formerly known as Quest for Value Accumulation Trust Managed Portfolio),
distributed cash and securities with an aggregate market value of $51,354,102
in exchange for 2,355,693 shares of the Portfolio. The following is a summary
of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in
the preparation of its financial statements:
(A) Valuation of Investments
Investment securities, other than debt securities, listed on a national
exchange or traded in the over-the-counter National Market System are valued
each business day at the last reported sale price; if there are no such
reported sales, the securities are valued at their last quoted bid price.
Other securities traded over-the-counter and not part of the National Market
System are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investment debt securities
(other than short-term obligations) are valued each business day by an
independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments are
valued by the pricing service using methods which include current market
quotations from a major market maker in the securities and trader-reviewed
"matrix" prices. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of
more than sixty days are valued on a "marked-to-market" basis, that is, at
prices based upon market quotations for securities of similar type, yield,
quality and maturity. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity
of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
by the Board of Trustees. The ability of issuers of debt instruments to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific
industry or region.
(B) Federal Income Taxes
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders;
accordingly, no Federal income tax provision is required.
(C) Security Transactions and Other Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. In determining
the gain or loss from the sale of securities, the cost of securities sold has
been determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded
on the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts or
premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest
income over the lives of the respective securities.
(D) Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income
and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least
annually.
<PAGE>
QUEST FOR VALUE ACCUMULATION TRUST
MANAGED PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 1995
(1) Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(D) Dividends and Distributions (continued)
The Portfolio records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on
the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts
based on their Federal tax-basis treatment: temporary differences do not
require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net
investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting
purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net
investment income or distributions in excess of net realized capital gains,
respectively. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated
earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes, they are reported as
distributions of paid-in-surplus or tax return of capital. At December 31,
1995, the Portfolio did not have any permanent book-tax differences.
(E) Allocation of Expenses
Expenses specifically identifiable to a particular portfolio are borne by
that portfolio. Other expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on its
net assets in relation to the total net assets of all the applicable
portfolios of the Trust or another reasonable basis.
(F) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
(a) The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and payable monthly to
the Adviser, and is computed as a percentage of the Portfolio's net assets as
of the close of business each day at the annual rate of .60%.
The Adviser has agreed to waive that portion of the advisory fee and to
reimburse any necessary expenses to limit operating expenses of the Portfolio
to .66% of average daily net assets on an annual basis through at least
December 31, 1995.
(b) Total brokerage commissions paid by the Portfolio for the year ended
December 31, 1995, amounted to $65,136, of which Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., an
affiliate of the Adviser, received $26,544.
(3) Purchases and Sales of Securities
For the year ended December 31, 1995, purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than short-term securities were $30,484,410 and $15,035,906
respectively.
(4) Capital Loss Carryforward
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Portfolio will utilize
$145,040 of net capital loss carryforwards.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
Quest for Value Accumulation Trust -- Managed Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Managed
Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Quest for Value Accumulation
Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") at December 31, 1995, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net
assets and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
for the period September 16, 1994 (commencement of operations) through
December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME PORTFOLIO
We introduced the U.S. Government Income Portfolio on January 3, 1995,
for investors seeking favorable returns from investments in government
securities. The Portfolio, which seeks to provide a combination of high
current income and protection of capital, invests in debt obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies or intermediaries. These
issues are considered to carry the least credit risk. The Portfolio invests
primarily in intermediate-term securities and places a priority on maintaining
a relatively stable net asset value (NAV) per share.
The Portfolio provided a total return of 13.1% from its inception through
December 31, 1995. This compared with a total return of 14.4% for the Lehman
Brothers Intermediate Government Bond Index. Returns take into account
expenses incurred by the Portfolio, but not other charges imposed by the
Variable Accounts.
We have invested the Portfolio in a diversified group of government
securities, as we seek to generate above-average returns with below-average
risk. At the end of December, the Portfolio's assets were allocated 46% to
Treasuries, 52% to U.S. Government agency securities, 1% cash and 1% to assets
in excess of liabilities. The average maturity of the Portfolio's investments
was 3.4 years.

(1) Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Quest for Value Accumulation Trust (the "Trust") was organized on May 12,
1994 as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
seven classes of shares of beneficial interest at $.01 par value; the Equity
Portfolio, the Small Cap Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Managed
Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the U. S. Government Income Portfolio and the
Money Market Portfolio. OpCap Advisors (formerly called Quest for Value
Advisors; the "Adviser"), a majority-owned (99%) subsidiary of Oppenheimer
Capital, serves as the Trust's investment adviser. The U.S. Government Income
Portfolio (the "Portfolio") one of the Trust's seven portfolios, commenced
operations on January 3, 1995. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation
of its financial statements:
(A) Valuation of Investments
Investment debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued
each business day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of
Trustees. Investments are valued by the pricing service using methods which

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Trustees of
Quest for Value Accumulation Trust - U.S. Government Income Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the U.S.
Government Income Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Quest for
Value Accumulation Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") at
December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net
assets and the financial highlights for the period January 3, 1995
(commencement of operations) through December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for Equity Growth and
Income Fund, a portfolio of Insurance Management Series, for the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 1995. The report begins with the management discussion
and analysis by the fund's portfolio manager. Following the management
discussion and analysis is a complete listing of the fund's holdings and its
financial statements.
Equity Growth and Income Fund helps your money earn income and grow in value by
investing in a portfolio of high-quality stocks. Many of these stocks are issued
by companies whose names you will recognize. At the end of the period, the
fund's portfolio included Du Pont, Mattel, Avon, Philip Morris, RJR Nabisco,
Reebok, Chevron, Texaco, American Express, Bristol-Myers Squib, General
Electric, Sears, Hewlett-Packard, and AT&T to name a few.
Consistent with a highly favorable environment for stocks during 1995, the fund
delivered a total return of 33.71%* during the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 1995. The fund's net asset value increased significantly, from
$9.74 at the beginning of the period to $12.80 at the period's end. Dividends
totaled $0.20 per share, while net realized and unrealized gains totaled $3.06
per share during the period. At the end of the twelve-month report period, total
assets grew to reach $48.5 million.
Thank you for participating in the growth and income opportunities of U.S.
stocks through Equity Growth and Income Fund. We look forward to keeping you
informed about your investment's progress.
Sincerely,
J. Christopher Donahue
President
February 15, 1996

principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.
EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the U.S. stock market advanced
strongly, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index* ("S&P 500") recording a total
return of 37.6%. This compares to a modest 1.3% total return for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1994. Total return for Equity Growth and Income Fund
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, was 33.71%** versus 30.8% for the
average Lipper Growth and Income Fund.
Recent market strength was concentrated in large-capitalization stocks which
substantially influence the performance of the S&P 500. In contrast, the
Standard & Poor's 600 Small Cap Index*, a popular benchmark for
small-capitalization stocks, had a total return of only 29.9% for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
Market strength over the past year has been largely due to declining interest
rates and continuing strong growth in corporate profits. The 30-year U.S.
Treasury bond yield has declined from 8.1% to roughly 6.2%. Aggregate corporate
earnings for U.S. companies have shown 12%-15% gains in the past three quarters
versus 1994. The consensus forecast at this time is for a rather benign
inflation and interest rate environment and moderate real growth in U.S.
economic activity, perhaps at the 2.0%-2.5% level (annual rate). This backdrop
and the substantial rise in the stock market over the past year dictates
increased selectivity in stock selection at this time.
The best performing sector over the past year has been Technology, although many
stocks in this area have experienced corrections over the past few months. We
reduced our weighting in Technology a few months ago, but remain modestly
overweight relative to the S&P 500, given the excellent long-term outlook. The
Finance sector has also performed well over the past year and the fund continues
to have a significant exposure to this group.
As part of our portfolio management process in determining relative sector
weightings, we also attempt to identify underlying investment themes. Some
companies fit more than one theme. At this time, the major themes in the fund's
portfolio are as follows:
(1) Beneficiaries of corporate "restructuring" such as AT&T, ITT, and CIGNA;
(2) Industry consolidation--Lockheed Martin in the Aerospace/defense industry
and First Interstate in banking are examples;
(3) Companies which generate significant excess cash flow such as Philip Morris
and FMC;
* The Standard & Poor's Daily Stock Price Index of 500 Common Stocks, a
composite index of common stocks in industry, transportation, and financial
and public utility companies, can be used to compare to the total returns of
funds whose portfolios are invested primarily in common stocks. The Standard
& Poor's 600 Small Cap Index is an unmanaged index of 600 smaller
capitalization stocks. These indices are unmanaged and actual investments
cannot be made in indices.
** Performance quoted represents past performance. 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.
(4) Dominant companies with superior management such as General Electric,
Citicorp and Philip Morris; and
(5) The Technology revolution--major "plays" include Hewlett Packard, IBM, and
General Motors, Class "E" (EDS).
While some market observers express concern with overvaluation in the current
market, we believe good long-term values can be identified by our disciplined
process and careful fundamental research. An important part of our process is
our emphasis on controlling risk through diversification and attention to
valuation of individual stocks.

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTED IN EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the
Equity Growth and Income Fund (the "Fund") from February 10, 1994 (start of
performance), to December 31, 1995, compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
(S&P 500)+, and the Lipper Growth and Income Funds Average (LGIFA).+
GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION A1 OMITTED. SEE APPENDIX.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. YOUR INVESTMENT RETURN
AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE SO WHEN SHARES ARE REDEEMED, THEY MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN ORIGINAL COST. MUTUAL FUNDS ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF OR
GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED.
*The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions. The S&P 500 and the LGIFA have been adjusted to reflect
reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.
The S&P 500 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees
that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The index is
unmanaged.
+The LGIFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the
mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the
category, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these
total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires
to be reflected in a fund's performance.

EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (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 seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of Equity Growth and Income 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.
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--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. All other securities are valued at
prices provided by an independent pricing service.
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.
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.
EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
distributions do not represent a return of capital for federal income tax
purposes.
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.
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).
Transactions in shares were as follows:

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Federated Advisers, the Fund's investment adviser, (the
"Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment advisory fee equal to
.75 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or
reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or
terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole
discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services, under the Administrative
Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and
services. This fee is based on the
EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the Administrative Services Agreement shall be at least $125,000
per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of shares.
TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES AND EXPENSES--Federated Services
Company ("FServ") serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.
This fee is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for
which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses of $16,348 and start-up
administrative service expenses of $31,507 were borne initially by the Adviser.
The Fund has agreed to reimburse the Adviser for the organizational and start-up
administrative expenses during the five year period following effective date.
For the period ended December 31, 1995, the Fund paid $2,180 and $4,201,
respectively, pursuant to this agreement.
GENERAL--Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and
Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Equity Growth and Income Fund (a portfolio of
the Insurance Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement
of operations for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Growth and
Income Fund as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes
in its net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for Utility Fund, a
portfolio of Insurance Management Series, for the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 1995. The report begins with the management discussion and analysis
by your fund's portfolio manager. Following the management discussion and
analysis is a complete listing of the fund's holdings and its financial
statements.
Utility Fund puts your money to work in a portfolio of common and preferred
stocks issued by companies that provide essential services. Consistent with a
very favorable economic environment during 1995, your fund delivered a total
return of 24.18%* for the period ended December 31, 1995. The fund's net asset
value increased from $9.29 at the beginning of the period to $11.03 at the
period's end. Dividends paid to shareholders over the twelve-month report period
totaled $0.45 per share. At the end of the twelve-month report period, total
assets stood at $29.7 million.
Thank you for participating in the investment opportunities of utility companies
through Utility Fund. We look forward to keeping you informed about your
investment's progress.
Sincerely,
J. Christopher Donahue
President
February 15, 1996

UTILITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
During 1995, utilities rose from the ashes of 1994 like a phoenix. In 1994,
utilities were hurt primarily by rapidly rising interest rates and also by fears
of restructuring. The predominantly electric utility-weighted Dow Jones ("DJ")
Utility Index* lost 15.81% on a total return basis in 1994, while the Standard &
Poors ("S&P") Utility Index* (comprised 53% by the Regional Bell Operating
companies and GTE) fell 8.31%. In 1995 rapidly falling interest rates, subsiding
restructuring fears and strong earnings growth, led to a handsome 32.37% gain in
the DJ Utility Index and a stunning gain of 42.11% in the S&P Utility Index,
which even outpaced the 37.58% return of the S&P 500 Index*. There have only
been six other years since 1929 in which the S&P Utility Index posted returns
exceeding 40%. The average annual return in subsequent years was a quite
respectable 13.55%.
The key variable determining utility stocks' 1996 performance will continue to
be earnings and interest rates. The yield on long-term Treasuries fell by 192
basis points in 1995, giving utilities their initial thrust. It is difficult to
foresee a similar decline in 1996, but with an accommodative Federal Reserve
Board, an election, and a slowing economy, it is equally difficult to expect
much upside risk to interest rates. Earnings growth was a pleasant surprise in
1995 as companies benefited from increased efficiencies in the face of a slower
than expected industry restructuring, particularly for telephone and electric
utilities. We expect this positive trend to continue in 1996. While we do not
expect a repeat of 1995 for utility stocks, we do believe that most investors
will be pleased with 1996's performance.
While the Utility Fund posted a very respectable total return of 24.18%** in
1995, it lagged the peer group average return of 27.7% (average utility fund
performance as calculated by Lipper Analytical Services). This relative
underperformance was due in part to the conservative structure of our fund,
which holds certain convertible securities that outperform in rising interest
rate environments in order to cushion the interest-rate sensitivity of utility
stocks. This strategy has allowed the fund to perform well above average versus
its peer group in weak utility markets, and to perform well over long periods of
time. Another significant reason for the fund's underperformance in 1995 was its
relative underweighting in the Baby Bells, which as a group advanced 50.8% in
1995. While we believe that the coming of long distance, cellular, and cable
competition will lead to lower profit margins for the Baby Bells, it now appears
that true competition is years away. In the meantime, the telephone companies
are enjoying strong minute and subscriber growth while cost cutting efforts
*DJ Utility Index is comprised of fifteen utility stocks that track changes in
price daily and over a six month period. The S&P Utility Index is comprised of
forty different utilities that track daily changes in the price of stocks. The
S&P 500 Daily Stock Price Index of 500 Common Stocks, a composite index of
common stocks in industry, transportation, and financial and public utility
companies, can be used to compare the total returns of funds whose portfolios
are invested primarily in common stocks. These indices are unmanaged and
actual investments can not be made in indices.
**Performance quoted represents past performance. 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.
are also enhancing earnings. Therefore, we have increased our portfolio
weighting in the U.S. telecom sector from 9% to over 20%.
We currently have 37% of the portfolio in domestic electric utilities. Because
of this group's relative underperformance in 1995, we believe it is poised to
perform well in 1996. Additionally, the reform movement to bring down
competitive barriers is proceeding much more slowly than expected, while
companies continue to cut costs. The natural gas stocks which comprise 10% of
our portfolio are reacting to an excellent start to the winter.
We participated in many very positive stock performances in 1995. These included
Williams Cos. which rose 75% on a total return basis, GTE which rose 72%, DQE,
Inc. which rose 53%, Pinnacle West which rose 45%, PNC Financial which rose 42%,
and AT&T Corp. which rose 29%. Our focus in 1996 will be to seek companies with
competitive managements who excel in their regulated environment while
successfully growing diversified non-regulated operations, and which have
accelerating earnings and above-average dividend growth potential.
We also believe that the weakness in international markets over the last two
years has led to some attractive valuations. Consequently, we have initiated
positions in Compania Telecomunicacion Chile and Telebras. The international
utility markets offer superior growth and some of the best relative valuations
in years.
Overall, we are optimistic as we enter 1996. Each of the utility sectors is
enjoying relatively positive fundamentals, and the defensive nature of this
asset class will provide a strong measure of protection from a bear market.

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTED IN THE UTILITY FUND
The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the
Utility Fund (the "Fund") from February 10, 1994 (start of performance) to
December 31, 1995, compared to the Standard and Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500)+, and
the Standard and Poor's Utility Index (SPUX)+.
["Graphic representation A2 omitted. See Appendix."]
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. YOUR INVESTMENT RETURN
AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE, SO WHEN SHARES ARE REDEEMED, THEY MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN ORIGINAL COST. MUTUAL FUNDS ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF OR
GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK, AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED.
*The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions. The S&P 500 and the SPUX have been adjusted to
reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indices.
+The S&P 500 and the SPUX are not adjusted to reflect sales charges,
expenses, or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the
Fund's performance. The indices are unmanaged.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (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 seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of the Utility 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.
(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--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. Equity securities are valued at the
last sale price reported on national security exchanges. Unlisted equity
securities are valued at prices provided by independent pricing services.
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. Amounts as of December 31, 1995 have been
reclassified to reflect the following:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
INCREASE (DECREASE)
ACCUMULATED NET REALIZED
PAID-IN CAPITAL GAIN/LOSS UNDISTRIBUTED NET INVESTMENT INCOME
<S> <C> <C>
$(994) $2,437 $(1,443)
</TABLE>
Net investment income, net realized gains/losses, and net assets were not
affected by this change.
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.
UTILITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Directors (the
"Directors"). 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.
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.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK--The Fund invests in securities of non-U.S.
issuers. Although the Fund maintains a diversified investment portfolio,
the political or economic developments within a particular country or
region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to
meet their obligations. Additionally, political or economic developments
may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities
and currency holdings.
At December 31, 1995, the portfolio was diversified with the following
countries:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
COUNTRY % OF NET ASSETS
<S> <C>
Argentina 1.6
Brazil 0.6
Canada 0.5
Chile 0.6
Finland 0.9
Great Britain 0.8
Italy 1.3
Spain 0.9
</TABLE>
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The accounting records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies ("FC") are translated into U.S. dollars based on the
rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of
valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are
translated at the rate of
UTILITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded.
Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or
paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank. The Fund does not
isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in
foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from
changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales
of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement
dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of
dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's
books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes
in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities
at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES--Restricted securities are securities that may only
be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in
transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of
restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at
the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with
another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities
may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from
registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid
under criteria established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund will not
incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted
securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary
market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as
determined by the Fund's pricing committee.
Additional information on each restricted security held at December 31,
1995 is as follows:

(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Federated Advisers, the Fund's investment adviser (the
"Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment advisory fee equal to
.75 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily
choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or reimburse certain operating
expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver
and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services ("FAS"), under the
Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative
personnel and services. This fee 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 the
Administrative Services Agreement shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and
$30,000 per each additional class of shares.
TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES AND EXPENSES--Federated Services
Company ("FServ") serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.
This fee is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ also maintains the Fund's accounting records
for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses of $17,759 and start-up
administrative service expenses of $31,507 were borne initially by the Adviser.
The Fund has agreed to reimburse the Adviser for the organizational and start-up
administrative expenses during the five year period following effective date.
For the period ended December 31, 1995, the Fund paid $2,368 and $4,201,
respectively, pursuant to this agreement.
GENERAL--Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and
Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of UTILITY FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Utility Fund (a portfolio of the Insurance
Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement of operations
for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned as of
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Utility Fund as of
December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets
and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for U.S. Government
Bond Fund, a portfolio of Insurance Management Series, for the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 1995. The report begins with the management discussion
and analysis by your fund's portfolio manager. Following the management
discussion and analysis is a complete listing of the fund's holdings and its
financial statements.
As a shareholder in U.S. Government Bond Fund, you are pursuing current income
and a degree of capital appreciation through a portfolio of U.S. government
mortgage-backed securities. While the Fund itself is not guaranteed, the payment
of principal and interest on all these securities are issued or guaranteed by
agencies of the U.S. government.
During the period ended December 31, 1995, your fund achieved a total return of
8.77%.* The net asset value increased from $9.99 at the beginning of the period
to $10.29 at the period's end. Dividends paid to shareholders over the
twelve-month report period totaled $0.54 per share. At the end of the
twelve-month report period, total assets stood at $12.3 million.
Thank you for participating in the income opportunities of U.S. Government Bond
Fund. We look forward to keeping you informed about your investment's progress.
Sincerely,
J. Christopher Donahue
President
February 15, 1996
*Performance quoted represents past performance. 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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In 1995, the U.S. bond market experienced its best year in over a decade. As
yields declined, bond prices rose, fueled by a series of data indicating that
the U.S. economy was slowing and growing anticipation that the Federal Reserve
Board (the "Fed") would reverse its monetary policy.
During the first six months of 1995, yields of bonds with between two- and
five-year maturities declined by nearly 2%. The difference in spread between
short-term (two-year) and long-term (30-year) bonds increased from .18% to .82%
over the course of 1995.
The second half of 1995 saw a shift in market expectations about the Fed's
monetary policy. Investors struggled with the realization that the Fed was
transitioning toward "easing," or lowering, interest rates, at a slower pace
than expected. With the view by investors that inflation was well under control,
long-term U.S. Treasury securities became the star performers.
The dominant trend in the mortgage market during 1995 was the market directional
mortgage/ Treasury basis trade. Throughout 1995, mortgage to Treasury yield
spreads widened in market rallies and narrowed in market sell-offs. The first
and third quarters were rewarding time periods for mortgage investors, while the
second quarter was painful and the fourth quarter was uneventful. For the year,
the mortgage market did outperform the U.S. Treasury market on a
duration-adjusted basis.
U.S. Government Bond Fund invests in securities with average maturities ranging
from three to seven years. At the end of 1995, nearly 60% of the fund's assets
were invested in mortgage-backed securities, with the remainder invested in U.S.
Treasury obligations, including a repurchase agreement backed by U.S. government
obligations.
This focus on the mortgage-backed market is expected to continue, as decreased
volatility in interest rates, concerns about potential downgrades in corporate
bonds, and an increase in demand by financial institutions should result in
relatively strong performance by mortgage-backed securities in 1996.

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTED IN U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in U.S.
Government Bond Fund (the "Fund") from March 28, 1994 (start of performance), to
December 31, 1995, compared to the Lehman Brothers 5 Year Treasury Bellwether
Index (LB5TB)+ and the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Average (LUSMFA)++.
[Graphic representation A3 omitted. See Appendix."]
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. YOUR INVESTMENT RETURN
AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE SO WHEN SHARES ARE REDEEMED, THEY MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN ORIGINAL COST. MUTUAL FUNDS ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF OR
GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED.
*The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions. The LB5TB and the LUSMFA have been adjusted to reflect
reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.
+The LB5TB is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees
that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The index
is unmanaged.
++The LUSMFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the
mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the
category, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these
total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires
to be reflected in a fund's performance.

U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (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 seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of U.S. Government Bond 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.
(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--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. All other securities are valued at
prices provided by an independent pricing service.
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.
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").
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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).
Transaction in shares were as follows:

(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Federated Advisers, the Fund's investment adviser, (the
"Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment advisory fee equal to
.60 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily
choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or reimburse certain operating
expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver
and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services, under the Administrative
Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and
services. This fee 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 the Administrative Services
Agreement shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each
additional class of shares.
U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES AND EXPENSES--Federated Services
Company ("FServ") serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.
This fee is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for
which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses of ($20,065) and start-up
administrative service expenses of ($31,057) were borne initially by Adviser.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of U.S. Government Bond Fund (a portfolio of the
Insurance Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement of
operations for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Government Bond
Fund as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its
net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for Corporate Bond
Fund, a portfolio of Insurance Management Series, for the twelve-month period
ended December 31, 1995. The report begins with the management discussion and
analysis by your fund's portfolio manager. Following the management discussion
and analysis is a complete listing of the fund's holdings and its financial
statements.
As a shareholder in Corporate Bond Fund, you are pursuing a high level of
current income and growth through a carefully researched portfolio of
lower-rated corporate bonds.
Consistent with a very favorable environment for bonds during the period, your
fund achieved a total return of 20.38%* for the period ended December 31, 1995.
The net asset value increased from $8.87 at the beginning of the period to $9.79
at the period's end. Dividends paid to shareholders over the twelve-month report

CORPORATE BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Corporate Bond Fund invests in lower quality corporate bonds to pursue high
current income and capital appreciation. Two major factors impacted the
performance of high-yield bonds during 1995. First, interest rates fell
substantially, positively impacting all fixed-income securities including
high-yield bonds. For example, the yield on 10-year Treasuries declined
approximately 2.25%. However, the yield difference between high-yield securities
and Treasuries increased as investors became more concerned with the credit
outlook for high-yield bonds as the economy slowed from its rapid pace of 1994.
Default rates also increased in 1995, impacting investors' perception of the
risk associated with owning high-yield bonds. The overall impact of these two
factors resulted in high-yield corporate bonds delivering attractive absolute
returns, although these returns trailed the returns of high-quality corporate
bonds.
The fund outperformed both the Lipper High Current Yield Funds Average and the
Lehman Brothers Single B Index* during 1995. Several factors were responsible
for this performance. First, the fund experienced no defaults during the year
and avoided the majority of near-default situations such as Color Tile, which
had substantial price declines while not officially defaulting. Second, the fund
maintained a higher quality portfolio profile than normal. This has been the
case since the fourth quarter of 1994. Higher quality high-yield bonds turned in
strong performance during the quarter as they were impacted less by the spread
widening, which impacted the overall market. Third, several industries that the
fund has recently focused on have performed well to include cable TV,
telecommunications and broadcasting. Finally, various portfolio holdings
performed well due to issuer specific fundamentals including Australis Media,
Cellular Communications International, People's Choice TV, IXC Communications,
and Affiliated Newspapers.
The fund's management expects the economy to be characterized by slow growth and
low inflation over the next few quarters. This should be a rewarding environment
for carefully selected portfolios of high-yield bonds. Selectivity will continue
to be important as financial performance across high-yield issuers will vary
widely. Given this environment, the Corporate Bond Fund continues to emphasize
companies with superior operating profiles, companies with the potential to grow
unit volume above the rate of growth of the overall economy, and companies with
highly predictable financial performance. These areas of emphasis have not
changed significantly over the past several quarters. However, given the spread
widening that has occurred, fund management is attempting to identify selected
lower quality issuers that we believe are attractive on a risk return basis.
These lower quality issuers may be superior performers in a stronger growth
environment which we believe may occur in the second half of 1996.
* The Lehman Brothers Single B Index measures the performance of bonds rated
Single B which have at least $100 million outstanding and have at least 1 year
until maturity. This index is unmanaged and actual investments cannot be made
in an index.

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTED IN THE CORPORATE BOND FUND
The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the
Corporate Bond Fund (the "Fund") from March 1, 1994 (start of performance), to
December 31, 1995, compared to the Lehman Brothers Single B Rated Index
(LBSBRI)+ and the Lipper High Current Yields Fund Average (LHCYFA).++

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. YOUR INVESTMENT RETURN
AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE SO WHEN SHARES ARE REDEEMED, THEY MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN ORIGINAL COST. MUTUAL FUNDS ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF OR
GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED.
*The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions. The LBSBRI and the LHCYFA have been adjusted to reflect
reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.
+The LBSBRI is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other
fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.
The index is unmanaged.
++The LHCYFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the
mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into
the category, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these
total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires
to be reflected in a fund's performance.

CORPORATE BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (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 seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of Corporate Bond 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.
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--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. All other securities are valued at
prices provided by an independent pricing service.
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.
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. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These distributions do not represent a return of capital for federal income
tax purposes.
CORPORATE BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. At December 31, 1995, the Fund,
for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $4,313, which
will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain
on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will
reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would
otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal
tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
EXPIRATION YEAR EXPIRATION AMOUNT
<S> <C>
2002 $4,313
</TABLE>
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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES--Restricted securities are securities that may only
be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in
transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of
restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at
the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with
another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities
may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from
registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid
under criteria established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund will not
incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted
securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary
market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as
determined by the Fund's pricing committee.
Additional information on each restricted security held at December 31,
1995 is as follows:

RBX Corp. 10/6/95 $ 100,000
</TABLE>
CORPORATE BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT RISKS--Although the Fund has a diversified portfolio, the Fund
has 100% of its portfolio invested in lower rated and comparable quality
unrated high yield securities. Investments in higher yield securities are
accomplished by a greater degree of credit risk and the risk tends to be
more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. The
risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for
the holders of high yielding securities because such securities are
generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the
isser. The Fund held no defaulted securities at December 31, 1995.
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).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of CORPORATE BOND FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Corporate Bond Fund (a portfolio of the
Insurance Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement of
operations for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Corporate Bond Fund
as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its net
assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders of Prime Money Fund, a
portfolio of Insurance Management Series, for the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 1995. This report includes an investment review by the fund's
portfolio manager, a listing of your fund's investments, and complete financial
information.
During the report period, the fund's portfolio of high-quality money market
securities provided shareholders with dividends of $0.05 per share. Of course,
the fund also maintained a stable share value of $1.00.* The fund's net assets
reached $17.8 million on the last day of the report period.
Thank you for using Prime Money Fund as a way to pursue daily income on your
ready cash. We look forward to keeping you informed about your investment's
progress.
Sincerely,
J. Christopher Donahue
President
February 15, 1996
* Money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share. There is no assurance that they will be able to do so. An investment in
the fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.
INVESTMENT REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the reporting period, short-term interest rates held steady for the first
quarter of 1995 despite a hike in the Federal Funds target rate from 5.50% to
6.00% on February 1, 1995. From the end of April however, short-term rates began
to decline with the biggest drop of 25 basis points coming on July 6, 1995,
following a rate cut. At that time, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed")
lowered the Federal Funds target rate from 6.00% to 5.75%. Rates then held
steady for the third quarter of 1995 before continuing to decline modestly in
the last several months of the year. The Fed took action one more time on
December 19, 1995, and lowered the Federal Funds target rate from 5.75% to
5.50%, precisely the same level at which 1995 began.
In response to this rate environment, the fund's average maturity target range
was lengthened from 30-40 days to 40-50 days. This reflects management's bias
towards a neutral to modestly easing Fed through early 1996. In addition,
management continues to invest the fund in a barbelled style with 25%-30% of
fund investments in variable rate demand notes, 10%-15% in overnight securities
and the remainder of the portfolio laddered out to the six-month to twelve-month
area of the yield curve. Management's outlook is for a modestly easing to
neutral Fed for the beginning of 1996. The structure of a barbell should allow
the fund to pursue the higher yields of longer-dated securities. In addition,
the longer average maturity should also be beneficial in a declining rate
environment.
Given the market conditions, the fund has performed as follows: during the
twelve-months ended December 31, 1995, the net assets of the fund increased from
$0.6 to $17.8 million, while the
7-day net yield increased from 4.16% to 4.95%.* The effective average maturity
of the fund on
December 29, 1995, was 42 days.
* Performance quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future
results. Yield will vary. Performance information does not reflect the charges
and expenses of a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract.

PRIME MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (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 seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of Prime Money 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.
(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--The Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its
portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
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

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of PRIME MONEY FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Prime Money Fund (a portfolio of the Insurance
Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prime Money Fund as
of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its net
assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for International
Stock Fund, a portfolio of Insurance Management Series. This report covers the
period from May 5, 1995, when the fund first began operations, through December
31, 1995. The report begins with the management discussion and analysis by the
fund's portfolio manager. As the fund's portfolio manager discusses in the
management discussion and analysis, there appears to be reason for optimism for
the international stock markets as we enter 1996. Following the management
discussion and analysis is a complete listing of the fund's international
holdings and its financial statements.
International Stock Fund brings you long-term growth opportunities through a
broadly diversified portfolio of stocks issued by companies throughout the
world. As you pursue your long-term financial goals, international stocks can be
a wise complement to U.S. stocks. Because international stocks respond to
different influences than U.S. stocks, adding international stocks to U.S. stock
holdings may enhance the overall performance of your stock investments by
smoothing out periodic ups and downs in the U.S. market.
International stocks and U.S. stocks can perform well at different times, as was
true in the extreme during 1995. While U.S. stocks soared, international stocks
recorded only very weak gains. Consistent with the overall international market,
the fund achieved a total return of 3.50% for the period ended December 31,
1995.* The fund's net asset value increased from $10.00 at the beginning of the
period to $10.35 at the period's end. At the end of the report period, total
assets stood at $4.8 million.
Thank you for participating in the long-term growth opportunities of
international stocks through International Stock Fund. We look forward to
keeping you informed about your investment's progress.
Sincerely,
J. Christopher Donahue
President
February 15, 1996
* Performance quoted represents past performance. 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.
INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
We are starting 1996 on a very positive note for the international equity
markets, and the International Stock Fund is exceptionally well positioned to
take advantage of the developments now emerging. Our investment approach is to
make significant market bets only when both our quantitative and qualitative
analysis reinforces our conviction that a particular market is undervalued or
overvalued. Having raised the fund's exposure to Japan to just over 36.8% at the
end of 1995, we are very encouraged by the strong move in that market on the
first trading day of 1996 (the Tokyo Stock Price Index* rose 3.4% on January 4).
All of the elements appear to be in place for a recovery in that market.
Valuations in Japan, especially looking at price to book value and price to
cashflow, are reasonable, liquidity growth is strongly positive, and earnings
momentum is strong.
Other Asian markets are exhibiting some of the same characteristics, which lead
us to expect strong earnings growth and attractive valuations. Our remaining
Asian investments are concentrated in Singapore (2.2%), Malaysia (2.1%), and
Indonesia (1.1%). Singapore, whose gross domestic product ("GDP") grew by 8.3%
for the first three quarters of 1995, continues to exhibit low inflation and a
dynamic economy. In Malaysia, while there are concerns about the economy being
too strong (GDP rose at around 9% through September), we believe the fears of a
slowdown are already priced into the market. In Indonesia, strong economic
growth of over 7% has been accompanied by inflation rates approaching the
government's policy limit of 10%, and fiscal policy is likely to tighten.
Nonetheless, with healthy earnings growth expected for the market in 1996, we
have been able to find some very interesting companies to include in the
portfolio. The story for Thailand is similar to the rest of the region, with
strong economic growth accompanied by generally controlled inflation and high
earnings growth.
Turning to Europe, economic growth expectations are being adjusted downward
along with earnings expectations for many of the companies in the market. At the
same time, interest rates have the potential to decrease further, which should
tend to support equity values. The fund's exposure to this part of the world was
38.0% of net assets at year-end.
In Latin America, the markets are beginning to rally after a generally dismal
1995. Events such as the continuing financial problems in Mexico and the
Venezuelan devaluation have served to remind investors of the potential pitfalls
of investing in that region. Going forward, we expect to be adding to our
positions.
* The Tokyo Stock Price Index is a broad market-capitalization weighted index
for the Tokyo stock exchange. This index is unmanaged and actual investments
cannot be made in an index.
Concerning the last quarter of 1995, the fund showed a return of 1.97%** versus
a return of 4.05% for the Europe, Australia, and Far East Index ("EAFE").***
This performance was negatively impacted by our exposure (as small as it was) to
Latin America as well as some disappointing results being reported by some of
the companies held in the European portion of the portfolio. With regard to
Latin America, as mentioned earlier, the outlook is improving, and we see the
markets in Europe as having overreacted by selling off companies with good
long-term prospects for temporary reasons.
New stocks purchased during the quarter included Royal PTT Nederland, the
recently privatized Dutch telecommunications services provider. Currently valued
at less than six times cashflow and showing earnings growth in the double
digits, this is one of the cheapest telecom plays in Europe. We also bought
shares in Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical in Japan, which is now selling at less than
18-times prospective earnings, and is very attractively valued in the Japanese
context. We also bought into Nomura Securities, which gives the fund exposure to
what we believe is the premier brokerage and financial services company in
Japan. One of the long-term growth stories for Nomura is likely to be its
emergence as one of the leaders in Japan's underdeveloped corporate bond market.

principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed,

*** The Morgan Stanley Europe, Australia, and Far East Index is a market

stock markets. This index is unmanaged and actual investments cannot be made

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTED IN INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND
The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in
International Stock Fund (the "Fund") from May 8, 1995 (start of performance),
to December 31, 1995, compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International
Europe Australia Far East Index (EAFE).+
GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION A5 OMITTED. SEE APPENDIX.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. YOUR INVESTMENT RETURN
AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE SO WHEN SHARES ARE REDEEMED, THEY MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN ORIGINAL COST. MUTUAL FUNDS ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF OR
GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED.
*The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions. The EAFE has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends
on securities in the index.
+The EAFE is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that
the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The index is
unmanaged.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (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 seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of International Stock 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.
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--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. Listed equity securities are valued
at the last sale price reported on national security exchanges. All other
securities are valued at prices provided by an independent pricing service.
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.
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. However, federal taxes may be
imposed on the Fund upon the disposition of certain investments in passive
foreign investment companies. Withholding taxes on foreign interest and
dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's
understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. At December
31, 1995, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss
carryforward of $17,096, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income
arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent
permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions
to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of
any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss
carryforward will expire as follows:

<CAPTION>
EXPIRATION YEAR EXPIRATION AMOUNT
<S> <C>
2003 $17,096
</TABLE>
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The accounting records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies ("FC") are translated into U.S. dollars based on the
rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of
valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are
translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such
transactions are recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts
recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian
bank. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and
maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign
withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar
equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign
exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and
liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end,
resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Federated Global Research Corp., the Fund's investment
adviser, (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment
advisory fee equal to 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser
may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or reimburse certain
operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or terminate this
voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services under the Administrative
Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and
services. This fee 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 the Administrative Services
Agreement shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each
additional class of shares.
TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES AND EXPENSES--Federated Services
Company ("FServ") serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.
This fee is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for
which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses of $15,465 were borne initially
by the Adviser. The Fund has agreed to reimburse the Adviser for the
organizational expenses during the five year period following the effective
date. For the period ended December 31, 1995, the Fund paid $773 pursuant to

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of International Stock Fund (a portfolio of the
Insurance Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement of
operations, the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for
the period. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received
from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of International Stock
Fund as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its
net assets and its financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 1995
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

GROWTH STOCK FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The fourth quarter of 1995, the first quarter of Growth Stock Fund's existence,
was marked by major changes in leadership among the various sectors within our
investable universe. Most notably, after leading the market for the first three
quarters of 1995, Technology was the worst performing sector in the fourth
quarter. Health Care stocks, in a close second place through September 30, 1995,
maintained their strength and led performance in the fourth quarter. Energy
stocks were a big surprise as they were one of the worst performers through the
first three quarters and yet were the second strongest during the last quarter.
Various smaller, more cyclically sensitive sectors, which lagged through
September, similarly did well to end the year. Finance stocks, also very strong
through the third quarter of 1995, maintained strength and modestly outperformed
the overall market. Retail stocks stayed weak.
The year also ended with markedly different performance between different sized
stocks, as measured by the appropriate Standard & Poor's ("S&P") indexes: the
S&P 500 Index* outperformed the S&P 400 Midcap Index* by 4.6%, which, in turn,
outperformed the S&P 600 Smallcap Index* by almost 1.0%. This was in sharp
contrast to the first three quarters of 1995, when the three S&P indexes traded
basically in-line and had similar total returns at the end of October 1995.
The fund's technology exposure was a net drag on performance in the fourth
quarter of 1995. The sector's negative effect on the fund was, however, somewhat
muted (especially versus our peers in the universe of growth funds) thanks to a
bias within our sector exposure toward defense technology and software, both of
which held in fairly well. The fund benefited from having its second largest
exposures in Health Care and Finance, which, as mentioned above, outperformed
the overall market. The fund failed to benefit, at least on a relative basis,
from the strong performance in Energy stocks and other more cyclically sensitive
sectors, as the fund was initiated modestly underweighted in most of those
areas.
Fund management is presently content with the way its exposures are allocated
across sectors, as our heavier weightings are in sectors that we expect will
experience the fastest earnings growth. We believe that the fund is properly
situated with regard to the average market capitalization of its holdings.
Despite the recent rally in the large-cap stocks, which does not appear to be
the start of a longer-term trend, the mid-cap area offers the most attractive
combination of growth potential, fair pricing and liquidity. We like the size
and potential of stocks in the mid-cap range and do not foresee a major
portfolio shift for the fund in the immediate future.
In the fourth quarter, value stocks modestly outperformed growth stocks, mildly
bucking the trend of growth outperformance which had been in place since about
July 1994. The trend paused in the
* The S&P 500 Daily Stock Price Index of 500 Common Stocks, a composite index of
common stocks in industry, transportation, and financial and public utility
companies, can be used to compare the total returns of funds whose portfolios
are invested primarily in common stocks. The S&P 400 Midcap Index is an
unmanaged index of 400 middle capitalization stocks. The S&P 600 Smallcap

first quarter of 1995, as both styles traded up in tandem, but resumed in the
second and third quarters with strong quarters for growth. In the face of more
macro-economic printing about a slowing in the growth rate of the domestic
economy, the market appears to be willing to bid up secular growth stocks more
aggressively. Management believes the trend of growth outperformance will not be
reversed, but will continue as the slowdown begins to be reflected in the
earnings and fundamental reports from more cyclical companies. These reports
could occur as we move through the next several quarters earnings announcements;
consequently, the trend of growth doing better than value should continue into
1996.

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTED IN GROWTH STOCK FUND
The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the
Growth Stock Fund (the "Fund") from November 9, 1995 (start of performance) to
December 31, 1995, compared to the Standard and Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500)+ and
the Lipper Growth Fund Index (LGFI)++.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. YOUR INVESTMENT RETURN
AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE SO WHEN SHARES ARE REDEEMED, THEY MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN ORIGINAL COST. MUTUAL FUNDS ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF OR
GUARANTEED BY ANY BANK AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED.
*The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions. The S&P 500 and the LGFI have been adjusted to reflect
reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indices.
+The S&P 500 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees
that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The index is
unmanaged.
++The LGFI is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these total
returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be
reflected in a fund's performance. The index is unmanaged.

GROWTH STOCK FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (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 seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of Growth Stock 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.
(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--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. Listed equity securities are valued
at the last sale price reported on national security exchanges. All other
securities are valued at prices provided by an independent pricing service.
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.
At December 31, 1995, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital
loss carryforward of $368, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income
arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent
permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions
to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of
any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss
carryforward will expire as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
EXPIRATION YEAR EXPIRATION AMOUNT
<S> <C>
2003 $368
</TABLE>
Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been provided for
in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax
rules and rates.
GROWTH STOCK FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EQUALIZATION--The Fund follows the accounting practice known as
equalization. With equalization, a portion of the proceeds from sales and
costs of redemptions of fund shares (equivalent, on a per share basis, to
the amount of undistributed net investment income on the date of the
transaction) is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income.
As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by
sales or redemptions of fund shares.
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.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK--The Fund invests in securities of non-U.S.
issuers. Although the Fund maintains a diversified investment portfolio,
the political or economic developments within a particular country or
region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to
meet their obligatioins. Additionally, political or economic developments
may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities
and currency holdings.
At December 31, 1995, the portfolio was diversified with the following
countries:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
COUNTRY % OF NET ASSETS
<S> <C>
Argentina 1.3
Canada 1.9
Finland 1.1
France 0.5
Great Britain 3.7
Israel 1.3
Sweden 0.5
</TABLE>
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The accounting records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies ("FC") are translated into U.S. dollars based on the
rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of
valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are
translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such
transactions are recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts
recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian
bank. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales
of FCs, currency gains or losses realized
GROWTH STOCK FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the
difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign
withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar
equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign
exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and
liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end,
resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
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).
Transactions in shares were as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
(a) For the period from November 9, 1995 (date of initial public investment) to
December 31, 1995.
(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Federated Advisers, the Fund's investment adviser (the
"Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment advisory fee equal to
.75 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or
reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or
terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole
discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services, under the Administrative
Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and
services. This fee 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 the Administrative Services
Agreement shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each
additional class of shares.
TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES AND EXPENSES--Federated Services
Company ("FServ") serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.
This fee is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.
GROWTH STOCK FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for
which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
GENERAL--Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and
Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
(5) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the
period ended December 31, 1995, were as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of GROWTH STOCK FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Growth Stock Fund (a portfolio of the Insurance
Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement of operations,
the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the period
ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included confirmation of the securities owned as of December 31, 1995
by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Growth Stock Fund as
of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its net
assets and its financial highlights for the period ended Decem-
ber 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Wanger U.S. Small Cap Advisor Annual Report 1995
In a Nutshell
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanger U.S. Small Cap Advisor returned 16% to investors during the eight months
the Fund was in operation during 1995. Through September, our performance was
boosted by a number of winners in our information and finance groups. Our best
stocks were Silver King (TV stations), Sierra On-line (computer games) and Aames
(home equity lending). We more than doubled our money in each stock.
The fourth quarter of 1995 was more of a struggle. Rising U.S. consumer debt
delinquencies and bankruptcies spooked our credit card stocks (First USA,
Peoples Bank). A few weak energy stocks also hurt performance. Our disappointing
fourth quarter results pushed us slightly below the market averages shown in the
table for the period from the commencement of the Fund's operations (May 3,
1995) through the end of the year.
Our approach to investing is to buy the stocks of small- and medium-size
companies that we believe will benefit from favorable long-term social,
economic, or political trends. We have packed our portfolio with these companies
and are ready for the new year. Bring on 1996!

will fluctuate so that Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than their original cost.

Wanger U.S. Small Cap Advisor Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995
1. Nature of operations
Wanger U.S. Small Cap Advisor (the "Fund") is a series of Wanger Advisors Trust
(the "Trust"), an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek
long-term growth of capital. The Fund is available only for allocation to
certain life insurance company separate accounts established for the purpose of
funding qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts, and may also be
offered directly to certain types of pension plans and retirement arrangements.
The Fund commenced operations on May 3, 1995.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security valuation
Investments are stated at current value. Securities traded on securities
exchanges or in over-the-counter markets in which transaction prices are
reported are valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation, or lacking
any reported sales on that day, at the midpoint of the most recent bid and
offer. Money market instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less from the
valuation date are valued on an amortized cost basis. Securities for which
quotations are not readily available and any other assets are valued at a fair
value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
Security transactions and investment income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy
or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of
discounts on money market instruments and long-term debt instruments when
required for federal income tax purposes. Realized gains and losses from
security transactions are reported on an identified cost basis.
Fund share valuation
Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuing basis at net asset value. Net
asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New
York Stock Exchange on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the
total value of the Fund's investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the
number of Fund shares outstanding.
Custodian fees
Custodian fees are reduced based on the Fund's cash balances maintained with the
custodian. This presentation does not affect the determination of net investment
income.

<PAGE>
===============================================================================
Wanger U.S. Small Cap Advisor Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995
Federal income taxes, dividends and distributions to shareholders
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and, in the manner
provided therein, to distribute all of its taxable income, as well as any net
realized gain on sales of investments reportable for federal income tax
purposes.
Dividends and distributions payable to its shareholders are recorded by the
Fund on the ex-dividend date.
3. Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund's portfolio and business affairs are managed by its investment advisor,
Wanger Asset Management, L.P. ("WAM"). The Fund pays WAM a monthly advisory fee
based upon average daily net assets at the following annual rates: 1% up to $100
million, .95% in excess of $100 million and up to $250 million, and .90% in
excess of $250 million.
The investment advisory agreement also provides that WAM will reimburse the
Fund to the extent that ordinary operating expenses (computed based on net
custodian fees) exceed 2% of average net assets. For the period ended December
31, 1995, WAM reimbursed the Fund $19,796.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also principals of WAM. The
Trust makes no direct payments to its officers and trustees who are affiliated
with WAM. The Fund incurred trustees' fees and expenses of $13,000 in 1995 to
trustees not affiliated with WAM.
WAM advanced $100,000 in connection with the organization and initial
registration of the Fund. These costs are being amortized and reimbursed to WAM
over the period May, 1995 through April, 2000.

Wanger International Small Cap Advisor Annual Report 1995
In a Nutshell
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanger International Small Cap Advisor had an extraordinary 1995. We began
operations on May 3, 1995. For the period from May 3 to the end of the year,
the foreign markets were up about 2%. Your fund went up 34.5%.
For the fourth quarter of 1995, your fund was up 4.2%, ahead of the two
market averages shown in the table.
Many of the best stocks of 1995 were in Europe. Our fund is a small cap
fund, not an emerging markets fund, so we have the majority of our investments
in the developed markets of Europe, Japan, Canada, and Australia. We
participate in the high-risk, high-return emerging markets, but only with part
of our money.

Wanger International Small Cap Advisor
Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995
1. Nature of operations
Wanger International Small Cap Advisor (the "Fund") is a series of Wanger
Advisors Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The investment objective of the
Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital. The Fund is available only for
allocation to certain life insurance company separate accounts established for
the purpose of funding qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts,
and may also be offered directly to certain types of pension plans and
retirement arrangements. The Fund commenced operations on May 3, 1995.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security valuation
Investments are stated at current value. Securities traded on securities
exchanges or in over-the-counter markets in which transaction prices are
reported are valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation, or lacking
any reported sales on that day, at the midpoint of the most recent bid and
offer. Money market instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less from the
valuation date are valued on an amortized cost basis. Securities for which
quotations are not readily available and any other assets are valued at a fair
value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
Foreign currency translations
Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S.
dollars using the spot market rate of exchange at the time of valuation.
Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are
translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing
on the respective dates of such transactions. The gain or loss on investments
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized
and unrealized gain or loss as appropriate.
Security transactions and investment income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy
or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as
the information is available to the Fund. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis and includes amortization of discounts on money market instruments
and on long-term debt instruments when required for federal income tax purposes.
Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on an
identified cost basis.
Fund share valuation
Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuing basis at net asset value. Net
asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New
York Stock Exchange on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the
total value of the Fund's investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the
number of Fund shares outstanding.
Custodian fees
Custodian fees are reduced based on the Fund's cash balances maintained with the
custodian. This presentation does not affect the determination of net investment
income.
Federal income taxes, dividends and distributions
to shareholders
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and, in the manner
provided therein, to distribute all of its taxable income, as well as any net
realized gain on sales of investments and foreign currency transactions
reportable for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund will elect to mark-to-market its investment in Passive Foreign
Investment Companies ("PFICs") for income tax purposes. In accordance with this
election, the Fund recognized unrealized appreciation on PFICs of $32,898 for
the period ended December 31, 1995.
Dividends and distributions payable to its shareholders are recorded by the
Fund on the ex-dividend date.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995
3. Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund's investment advisor, Wanger Asset Management, L.P., ("WAM") furnishes
continuing investment supervision to the Fund and is responsible for overall
management of the Fund's business affairs. The Fund pays WAM a monthly advisory
fee based upon average daily net assets at the following rates: 1.3% up to $100
million, 1.2% in excess of $100 million and up to $250 million and 1.1% in
excess of $250 million.
The investment advisory agreement also provides that WAM will reimburse the
Fund to the extent that ordinary operating expenses (computed based on net
custodian fees) exceed 2% of average net assets. For the year ended December 31,
1995, WAM reimbursed the Fund $62,992.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also principals of WAM. The
Trust makes no direct payments to its officers and trustees who are affiliated
with WAM. The Fund incurred trustees' fees and expenses of $13,000 in 1995 to
trustees not affiliated with WAM.
WAM advanced $100,000 in connection with the organization and initial
registration of the Fund. These costs are being amortized and reimbursed to WAM
over the period May, 1995 through April, 2000.

==================
CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Managed by Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc.
Dear Investor:
The 12-month period ended December 31, 1995 proved to be an excellent one for
investors as a cooling economy, tame inflation and falling interest rates worked
together to push stock and bond prices higher. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
slowed to below 2% annualized, based on estimates of fourth quarter data. To
stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates twice in the
second half of 1995, reducing its target for the federal funds rate to 5.5% by
year end.
Performance and Strategy
The Portfolio's dividend yield moved higher during the course of the year
due to higher rates available in the latter half of 1994 and the first half of
1995. The annualized compound dividend yield for the period was 5.37%, up from
3.96% one year ago. Currently, the Portfolio's average maturity is 29 days.
Outlook
Our forecast for the year calls for continued slow economic growth, low
inflation and low interest rates. With a sluggish economy at hand, we would not
be surprised to see the Federal Reserve cut short-term rates another 50 basis
points, possibly as early as the first quarter.
We appreciate your investment in the CRI Money Market Portfolio.
Sincerely,
/s/ Clifton S. Sorrell

Report of Independent Accountants
==============
To the Board of Directors of Acacia Capital Corporation and Shareholders of the
Calvert Responsibly Invested Money Market Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Calvert Responsibly Invested Money Market Portfolio (one of the portfolios
comprising the Acacia Capital Corporation), including the portfolio of
investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, and statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for each of the two years then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of
the preceding years were audited by other auditors whose report dated January
31, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Calvert Responsibly Invested Money Market Portfolio as of December 31, 1995, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net
assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note A-Significant Accounting Policies
General: The Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a series of Acacia
Capital Corporation's Calvert Responsibly Invested (CRI) Portfolios, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted for
separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated
insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate
accounts.
Security Valuation: All securities are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an
identified cost basis. Interest income, accretion of discount and amortization
of premium are recorded on an accrual basis.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by
the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid
monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at
least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles,
accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio's capital
accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax
regulations.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its
custodian bank whereby the custodian's fees are paid indirectly by credits
earned on the Portfolio's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit
arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required
since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of
its earnings.

Annual Report--December 31, 1995
======
CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED
STRATEGIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Managed by Portfolio Advisory Services, Inc.
Dear Investor:
Portfolio Advisory Services, Inc., the subadvisor to the Calvert Responsibly
Invested Strategic Growth Portfolio, has a distinct management style founded on
strict investment disciplines. The disciplines include:
. In-depth stock selection;
. Strict fundamental and technical benchmarks for selling stocks;
. Ongoing reference to the Five Market Principles, an econometric timing tool
used to assess the level of intermediate and long-term risk associated with
investing in the stock market.
Market Summary
Nineteen ninety-five marked the fifth year of the stock market rally, making
it the longest period in history that blue-chip indices have advanced without at
least a 10% correction. The rally has been driven primarily by speculation,
aggressive investing by institutional investors and a high level of investor
optimism.
Performance and Strategy
With the five Market Principles negative on balance and pointing to a High
Risk level, the Portfolio's exposure was limited. During the first three
quarters of 1995, the manager's strategy focused on preservation of capital and,
accordingly, the Portfolio's cash levels were above average.

10 - CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED STRATEGIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE>
From its inception on March 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, the Portfolio
returned 9.65% compared to 23.20% for the Russell 2000 and 29.12% for the S&P
500(R) for the same period.
Outlook
After market indicators showed improvement in the fourth quarter, we increased
the Portfolio's long positions, with favorable results. The manager used the
market's seasonal strength period - the week of Thanksgiving through the first
week of January - to add stock holdings to the Portfolio.
The Fund's current strategy is to maintain a cautiously invested position. The
Five Market Principles indicate the market's risk level at this point in time is
moderately High Risk. If market indicators deteriorate again or if momentum
fails, the manager would return to a more defensive position.
As the bull market enters its sixth consecutive year without a correction of
10% or more, we believe the current market is overvalued and vulnerable to a
sell-off. Our current strategy is to maintain a cautiously invested position
until confirmation of a market top. We are looking for a break in the upward
trend of the NYSE Advance/Decline Line and further deterioration of market
indicators before increasing the Portfolio's defensive position.
We appreciate your investment in the CRI Strategic Growth Portfolio.
Sincerely,
/s/ Clifton S. Sorrell
Clifton S. Sorrell
President

Notes to Financial Statements
Note A-Significant Accounting Policies
General: The Strategic Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a series of Acacia
Capital Corporation's Calvert Responsibly Invested (CRI) Portfolios, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-
end management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted
for separately. The shares of the Portfolio, which were first offered on March
1, 1995, are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for
allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security Valuation: Securities listed or traded on a national securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or spot market price.
Unlisted securities and listed securities for which the last sale price is not
available are valued at the most recent bid price or based on a yield equivalent
obtained from the securities' market maker. Short-term securities maturing
within 60 days are valued at amortized cost which approximates market. The
Portfolio may invest in securities whose resale is subject to restrictions.
Restricted securities and other securities and assets for which market
quotations are not available or deemed inappropriate are valued in good faith
under the direction of the Board of Directors.
Options: The Portfolio may write or purchase option securities. The option
premium is the basis for recognition of unrealized or realized gain or loss on
the option. The cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities sold
through the exercise of the option is adjusted by the amount of the premium.
Securities Sold Short: The Portfolio may sell securities that it does not own
in anticipation of a decline in their market price. Gains or losses represent
the difference between the sale proceeds and the price of the security.
Deposits with Brokers: The Portfolio maintains liquid assets sufficient to
cover, on a daily basis, the current values of written options and securities
sold short.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an
identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income, accretion of discount and amortization of premium are recorded
on an accrual basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are reported as
an expense.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by
the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid
annually. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at
least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles,
accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio's capital
accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax
regulations.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its
custodian bank whereby the custodian's fees are paid indirectly by credits
earned on the Portfolio's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit
arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.
ANNUAL REPORT CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED STRATEGIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO - 19
<PAGE>
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required
since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of
its earnings.
Note B-Related Party Transactions
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by
Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services
and pays the salaries and fees of officers and affiliated Directors of the
Portfolio. For its services, the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on an
annual rate of 1.5% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio.
Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides
administrative services to the Portfolio for a fee, payable monthly, of .20% of
the Portfolio's annual average daily net assets.
Each Director who is not affiliated with the Advisor receives a fee of $500 for
each Board meeting attended plus an annual fee of $2,000 for Directors not
serving on other Calvert Fund Boards. Director's fees are allocated to each of
the portfolios served.
Note C-Investment Activity
During the period, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term
securities, were $1,164,254 and $526,688, respectively.
The cost of investments owned at December 31, 1995 was substantially the same
for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes. Net unrealized
appreciation aggregated $97,640, of which $109,495 related to appreciated
securities and $11,855 related to depreciated securities.
The Portfolio has net realized capital loss carryforwards of $11,166 which may
be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration in 2003.

Fortaleza Asset Management
Dear Investor:
The 12-month period ended December 31, 1995 proved to be an excellent one
for most investors as a cooling economy, tame inflation and falling interest
rates worked together to push stock and bond prices higher. Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) slowed to below 2% annualized, based on estimates of fourth
quarter data. To stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve lowered interest
rates twice in the second half of 1995, reducing its target for the federal
funds rate to 5.5% by year end.
Market Summary
The stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500(R) Index, had
its best year since 1975, rising 34% for the year. Stocks from the technology
and financial sectors were among the leading issues while trucking, steel and
transportation equipment stocks lagged behind.
As yields fell, bonds moved ahead, with the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index
advancing 18.47%. Money market investors paid a high price for security as the
average money market fund returned just over 5% for the entire year.

Performance and Strategy
The 12-month period ended December 31, 1995 was a strongly positive one for
CRI Capital Accumulation Portfolio investors. The Portfolio's return of 39.46%
was well ahead of the Lipper Growth Funds Average of 30.79%.
22 - CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE>
Much of the Portfolio's performance during the period was attributable to
heavy weightings in the technology and financial sectors. Financial stocks
benefited from the favorable interest rate climate as both short- and long-term
interest rates declined throughout the year. Our technology sector holdings
focused primarily on semiconductor and networking companies, both of which
benefited from the worldwide trend towards productivity enhancement. Although
many stocks in this sector were beaten down during the fourth quarter, we
continue to view selected issues as good long-term plays.
Outlook
Looking forward to 1996, inflation and interest rates should remain low and
stocks should have very little competition from bonds. We will continue to
invest in companies that emphasize productivity enhancement, especially in the
healthcare and financial sectors. The good news is that fundamentals remain
strong for many of our favorite companies, suggesting strong earnings growth
throughout the year. Finally, 1996 is a Presidential election year, typically a
positive sign for the market. Collectively, these factors bode well for the
stocks in 1996.
As of this writing, a shareholder meeting was pending to merge the CRI Equity
Portfolio into the CRI Capital Accumulation Portfolio. Assuming the merger was
approved, we welcome all CRI Equity Portfolio shareholders.
We appreciate your investment in the CRI Capital Accumulation Portfolio.
Sincerely,
/s/ Clifton S. Sorrell

Report of Independent Accountants
================
To the Board of Directors of Acacia Capital Corporation and Shareholders of the
Calvert Responsibly Invested Capital Accumulation Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Calvert Responsibly Invested Capital Accumulation Portfolio (one of the
portfolios comprising the Acacia Capital Corporation), including the portfolio
of investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, and statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for each of the two years then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of
the preceding years were audited by other auditors whose report dated January
31, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Calvert Responsibly Invested Capital Accumulation Portfolio as of December 31,
1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended the changes in its
net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note A--Significant Accounting Policies
General: The Capital Accumulation Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a series of
Acacia Capital Corporation's Calvert Responsibly Invested (CRI) Portfolios, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-
end management investment company. Capital Accumulation was formerly Calvert-
Ariel Appreciation II Portfolio. The operations of each series are accounted for
separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated
insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate
accounts.
Security Valuation: Securities listed or traded on a national securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Unlisted securities and
listed securities for which the last sale price is not available are valued at
the most recent bid price or based on a yield equivalent obtained from the
securities' market maker. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are
valued at amortized cost which approximates market. Other securities and assets
for which market quotations are not available or deemed inappropriate are valued
in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an
identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income, accretion of discount and amortization of premium are recorded
on an accrual basis.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by
the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid
annually. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at
least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles,
accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio's capital
accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax
regulations.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its
custodian bank whereby the custodian's fees are paid indirectly by credits
earned on the Portfolio's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit
arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required
since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of
its earnings.
ANNUAL REPORT CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PORTFOLIO - 35
<PAGE>
Note B--Related Party Transactions
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by
Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services
and pays the salaries and fees of officers and affiliated Directors of the
Portfolio. For its services, the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on an
annual rate of .80% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio.
Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides
administrative services to the Portfolio for an annual fee, payable monthly, of
.10% of the Portfolio's annual average daily net assets.
Each Director who is not affiliated with the Advisor receives a fee of $500 for
each Board meeting attended plus an annual fee of $2,000 for Directors not
serving on other Calvert Fund Boards. Director's fees are allocated to each of
the portfolios served.
Note C--Investment Activity
During the year, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term
securities, were $11,778,141 and $8,448,713, respectively.
The cost of investments owned at December 31, 1995 was substantially the same
for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes. Net unrealized
appreciation aggregated $1,480,534, of which $1,821,342 related to appreciated
securities and $340,808 related to depreciated securities.
Note D--Subsequent Event
The shareholders of CRI Equity Portfolio have been asked to vote (under the
instructions of the contract holders) on February 16, 1996 on a merger into the
Portfolio effected by a tax-free exchange of net assets of CRI Equity,
approximately $4.5 million, for shares of the Portfolio.

CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED
GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
Managed by Murray Johnstone, Ltd.
Dear Investor:
Nineteen ninety-five proved to be a mixed year for stock markets around the
globe. Asian markets, for example, were relatively flat while European stocks,
as measured by the Eurotop 100 Index, rose an average of 12.3%.
There was much of the same in the Americas. The U.S. market had an outstanding
year, with the Standard & Poor's 500(R) Index surging ahead 34%, while Canada's
Toronto Stock Exchange Index of 300 major issues ended the year up a modest 12%.
By contrast, Latin American markets from Mexico to Colombia recorded one of
their worst years ever.
Performance and Strategy
The Global Equity Portfolio returned 12.35% for the 12-month period ended
December 31, 1995 compared to 21.32% for the Morgan Stanley Capital
International World Index.
Initially in 1995, we focused our investments predominantly in Europe and
Southeast Asia. As the year progressed and prospects for a Japanese economic
recovery improved, we increased investment in Japan to 27% of the Portfolio.
Similarly, we increased allocations to Hong Kong and Singapore when the outlook
for their markets became more attractive. We raised cash for these purchases by
selling positions in Germany and the Netherlands. (Our sell decision was based
on the expectation that these markets would eventually suffer due to an extreme
rise in the value of their national currencies.) By year-end 1995, our
investments in Continental Europe and the Far East outperformed the overall
markets in each of these regions.

38 - CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE>
Underexposure to the U.S. market and overexposure to the Mexican market were
the two factors primarily responsible for the Portfolio's underperformance. We
underweighted the U.S. market because our assessment showed that, in historical
terms, it had become overvalued and that corporate earnings were in a downward
phase. The decision proved costly because the U.S. market turned in one of the
year's best performances worldwide.
We maintained our Mexican holdings because we believed equities would recover
from their downward spiral in 1994. You may recall that Mexican stocks fell
after the peso devaluation in December of 1994 caused an economic crisis. In
January of 1995, the government arranged a series of standby loans and in March
instituted an austerity program which we anticipated would result in recession.
However, we believed that equity prices already reflected the downturn and that
stocks were poised for a comeback.
As we expected, equities recovered throughout the year. But global investors
began selling pesos when fears arose that the Mexican government might loosen
austerity measures and that corporate earnings might fall short of expectations.
The weakening of the peso reduced the dollar-denominated value of Mexican
investments and resulted in further losses for U.S. investors.
Outlook
We believe the worldwide structural shift towards lower inflation, which began
taking shape in 1995, will continue in 1996. Low interest rates will persist as
a result. Moreover, earnings will begin to exert a greater influence on stock
prices than money supply changes by the world's central banks. For this reason,
we will focus our attention on markets in the Far East, which are in a growth
phase, and reduce our exposure to markets in the U.S., the U.K. and Europe. We
will maintain our investments in Latin America as our analysis indicates it
should enjoy good growth in the year ahead.
We appreciate your investment in the CRI Global Equity Portfolio.
Sincerely,
/s/ Clifton S. Sorrell

Report of Independent Accountants
================
To the Board of Directors of Acacia Capital Corporation and Shareholders of the
Calvert Responsibly Invested Global Equity Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Calvert Responsibly Invested Global Equity Portfolio (one of the portfolios
comprising the Acacia Capital Corporation), including the portfolio of
investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, and statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for each of the two years then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of
the preceding years were audited by other auditors whose report dated January
31, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Calvert Responsibly Invested Global Equity Portfolio as of December 31, 1995,
the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its
net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note A-Significant Accounting Policies
General: The Global Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a series of Acacia
Capital Corporation's Calvert Responsibly Invested (CRI) Portfolios, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The operations of each series are accounted for
separately. The shares of the Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated
insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate
accounts.
Security Valuation: Securities listed or traded on a national securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Unlisted securities and
listed securities for which the last sale price is not available are valued at
the most recent bid price or based on a yield equivalent obtained from the
securities' market maker. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are
valued at amortized cost which approximates market. Foreign security prices,
furnished by quotation services in the security's local currency, are translated
using the current U. S. dollar exchange rate. The Portfolio may invest in
securities whose resale is subject to restrictions. Restricted securities and
other securities and assets for which market quotations are not available or
deemed inappropriate are valued in good faith under the direction of the Board
of Directors.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an
identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or,
in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio
is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, accretion of discount and
amortization of premium are recorded on an accrual basis.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio's accounting records are
maintained in U. S. dollars. For purposes of valuation of investments, assets
and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, the current
exchange rate is applied to foreign currencies for translation to U. S. dollars.
Security transactions, income and expenses are converted at the prevailing rate
of exchange on the date of the event. The changes in foreign exchange rates on
securities are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on
securities.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by
the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid
annually. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at
least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles,
accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio's capital
accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax
regulations.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its
custodian bank whereby the custodian's fees are paid indirectly by credits
earned on the Portfolio's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit
arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.
48 - CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE>
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required
since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of
its earnings.
Note B--Related Party Transactions
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by
Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services
and pays the salaries and fees of officers and affiliated Directors of the
Portfolio. For its services, the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on an
annual rate of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio.
Calvert Administrative Services Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, provides
administrative services to the Portfolio for a fee, payable monthly, of the
greater of $40,000 or .10% of the Portfolio's annual average daily net assets.
Each Director who is not affiliated with the Advisor receives a fee of $500 for
each Board meeting attended plus an annual fee of $2,000 for Directors not
serving on other Calvert Fund Boards. Director's fees are allocated to each of
the portfolios served.
NOTE C--Investment Activity
During the year, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term
securities, were $9,021,138 and $7,827,884, respectively.
The cost of investments owned at December 31, 1995 was substantially the same
for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes. Net unrealized
appreciation aggregated $244,757, of which $951,801 related to appreciated
securities and $707,044 related to depreciated securities.

Annual Report--December 31, 1995

CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED
BALANCED PORTFOLIO
Managed by Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. and NCM Capital
Management, Inc., effective February 1995
Dear Investor:
In seeking to provide investors with consistently competitive returns, the
Board of Directors selected different investment managers. In February, NCM
Capital assumed responsibility for managing the equity portion of the Portfolio
and Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. assumed responsibility for managing
the Portfolio's fixed-income assets. U.S. Trust Company of Boston was the
previous investment manager.
The 12-month period ended December 31, 1995 proved to be an excellent one for
most investors as a cooling economy, tame inflation and falling interest rates
worked together to push stock and bond prices higher. Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) slowed to 2% annualized, based on estimates of fourth quarter data. To
stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates twice in the
second half of 1995, reducing its target for the federal funds rate to 5.5% by
year end.
Market Summary
The stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500(R) Index, had its
best year since 1975, rising 34% for the year. Stocks from the technology and
financial sectors were among the leading issues. Investors sought the safety of
large-capitalization stocks which outperformed small-capitalization stocks by a
significant margin.

As yields fell, bonds moved ahead, with the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index
advancing 18.47%. Money market investors paid a high price for security as the
average money market fund returned just over 5% for the entire year.
Performance and Strategy
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 1995, the Balanced Portfolio's
total return of 29.87% was significantly ahead of the Lipper Balanced Funds
Average total return of 25.16%.
The Portfolio's above-average gain was due to its substantial equity
investments in the financial, technology and consumer-staple sectors.
Particularly, our financial service holdings benefited from declining interest
rates and from merger and acquisition activity in the banking area. The fixed-
income portion is continuing to make a significant contribution to the
Portfolio's performance. Near the end of the year, we added callable agency
securities to the Portfolio as they became undervalued by the rest of the
market. Currently, the average maturity of the Portfolio's bond portion is
approximately 7.9 years.
Outlook
Nineteen ninety-six marks the sixth year of the economic expansion. With a
sluggish economy at hand, we would not be surprised to see the Federal Reserve
cut short-term rates another 50 basis points, possibly as early as the first
quarter. Our forecast for the year calls for continued slow economic growth, low
inflation and low interest rates. Stocks and bonds should continue to move
higher in 1996, albeit at a slower rate than in 1995.
As of this writing, a shareholder meeting was pending to merge the CRI Bond
Portfolio into the CRI Balanced Portfolio. Assuming the merger was approved, we
welcome all CRI Bond Portfolio shareholders.
We appreciate your investment in the CRI Balanced Portfolio.
Sincerely,
/s/ Clifton S. Sorrell

Report of Independent Accountants
==============
To the Board of Directors of Acacia Capital Corporation and Shareholders of the
Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio (one of the portfolios
comprising the Acacia Capital Corporation), including the portfolio of
investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, and statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for each of the two years then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of
the preceding years were audited by other auditors whose report dated January
31, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio as of December 31, 1995, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net
assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

<PAGE>
Notes to Financial Statements
Note A-Significant Accounting Policies
General: The Balanced Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a series of Acacia Capital
Corporation's Calvert Responsibly Invested (CRI) Portfolios, is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Balanced Portfolio was formerly known as Calvert
Responsibly Invested Managed Growth Portfolio/Socially Responsible Series. The
operations of each series are accounted for separately. The shares of the
Portfolio are sold to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for
allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.
Security Valuation: Securities listed or traded on a national securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Unlisted securities and
listed securities for which the last sale price is not available are valued at
the most recent bid price or based on a yield equivalent obtained from the
securities' market maker. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are
valued at amortized cost which approximates market. Foreign security prices,
furnished by quotation services in the security's local currency, are translated
using the current U. S. dollar exchange rate. Municipal securities are valued
utilizing the average of bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system
(which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and
ratings) furnished by dealers through an independent pricing service. Other
securities and assets for which market quotations are not available or deemed
inappropriate are valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of
Directors.
Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with
recognized financial institutions or registered broker/dealers and, in all
instances, holds underlying securities with a value exceeding the total
repurchase price, including accrued interest.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an
identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or,
in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio
is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, accretion of discount and
amortization of premium are recorded on an accrual basis.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio's accounting records are
maintained in U. S. dollars. For purposes of valuation of investments, assets
and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, the current
exchange rate is applied to foreign currencies for translation to U. S. dollars.
Security transactions, income and expenses are converted at the prevailing rate
of exchange on the date of the event. The changes in foreign exchange rates on
securities are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on
securities.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by
the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are paid
annually. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at
least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles,
62 - CALVERT RESPONSIBLY INVESTED BALANCED PORTFOLIO ANNUAL REPORT
<PAGE>
accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio's capital
accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax
regulations.
Expense Offset Arrangements: The Portfolio has an arrangement with its
custodian bank whereby the custodian's fees are paid indirectly by credits
earned on the Portfolio's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit
arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments.
Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required
since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of
its earnings.
Note B-Related Party Transactions
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc. (the "Advisor") is wholly-owned by
Calvert Group, Ltd. ("Calvert"), which is indirectly wholly-owned by Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Company. The Advisor provides investment advisory services
and pays the salaries and fees of officers and affiliated Directors of the
Portfolio. For its services, the Advisor receives a monthly fee based on an
annual rate of .70% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
Calvert Shareholder Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, acts as
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolio.
Each Director who is not affiliated with the Advisor receives a fee of $500 for
each Board meeting attended plus an annual fee of $2,000 for Directors not
serving on other Calvert Fund Boards. Director's fees are allocated to each of
the portfolios served.
Note C-Investment Activity
During the year, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term
securities, were $151,831,684 and $125,197,142, respectively.
The cost of investments owned at December 31, 1995 for federal income tax
purposes was $98,398,834. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $10,925,483, of
which $12,196,885 related to appreciated securities and $1,271,402 related to
depreciated securities.
Note D-Subsequent Event
The shareholders of CRI Bond Portfolio have been asked to vote (under the
instructions of the contract holders) on February 16, 1996 on a merger into the
Portfolio effected by a tax-free exchange of net assets of CRI Bond,
approximately $3.6 million, for shares of the Portfolio.

THE DREYFUS SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GROWTH FUND, INC.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to report that for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995, The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc., posted a total
return of 34.56%,* compared to a total return of 37.53% for the Standard &
Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.** This performance placed the Fund in
the second quartile of the Lipper growth funds category, out of 98 funds for
the one-year period ended December 31, 1995.***
A LOOK AT THE ECONOMY
The most salient issue confronting the equity markets in 1995 continued
to be the Federal Reserve Board's vigilance in fighting inflation and overly
expansive economic growth. The Fed did this by raising interest rates an
unprecedented seven times in a 12-month period. The hope was that by doing
so, businesses would seek to grow their bottom lines via productivity
enhancements and market share growth rather than by simply raising prices, as
had been the case in previous economic cycles. The question in investors'
minds was, "Will the Fed continue to slay the inflation dragon by raising
rates and thereby establish an unprecedented soft landing in the economy?"
Investors kept a watchful eye on the economy in making decisions and for
the most part the economic reports were consistent with the soft landing
theme that we have followed all year. In a soft landing, the economy grows at
a reasonably slow to moderate pace with little to no inflation after a period
of significant growth, instead of adhering to the usual pattern of cyclical
booms and busts. After some decent economic advances in both 1993 and 1994,
investors became concerned that the Federal Reserve's vigilance in fighting
inflation might have pushed the economy to the brink of recession. However,
the economic information released through the third quarter of 1995 supported
our belief that the Fed had achieved the elusive economic soft landing. The Fe
d even sent the market a very positive signal in early July by cutting
interest rates by a quarter of a percent, the first such reduction since the
Fed began preemptive rate increases in February 1994. The Fed decreased rates
once again in December.
PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
In terms of the economic sectors of the Fund, we made several changes in
the weightings. The primary areas of focus for the Fund have been Consumer
Staples, Technology and Financials. During the last six months, we increased
the weightings in carefully selected Technology stocks and Financials and
maintained the exposure to Consumer Staples. We also reduced the Fund's
weighting in the Industrial sector. These thematic changes are indicative of
our overall view of what is driving the current economic environment. The
shift in Technology weight represents our belief that this traditional growth
sector, in spite of recent market weakness, is experiencing a secular
improvement in demand driven by global competition and productivity growth.
We also increased the Financials, believing that the Fed would continue to
lower interest rates, and that our positions would continue to benefit from
the consolidation trend in the industry. We reduced our weighting in
industrial stocks due to continued concerns over the strength of the economy
as well as valuation, both of which we believed indicated that better
opportunities lay elsewhere.
INDIVIDUAL ISSUES
For the year ended 12/31/95, there were many individual securities that
contributed nicely to the positive performance trends of the Fund. In the
consumer cyclical sector, Regal Cinemas, Capital Cities ABC, Disney (Walt),
Nike Cl.B and Phillips Electronics N.V. had superior performance. Those names
represent stocks that we believe can grow whatever the economic environment
because of globally oriented, diversified operations. Other stocks in the
portfolio that contributed to performance are Coca-Cola, Cordis, Amgen,
Medtronic, Becton, Dickinson, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck & Co. The food,
beverage and household products companies benefited from more positive
investor sentiment toward their long-term, globally driven growth rates. The
health care stocks benefited from an improved outlook for their operations
due to the rising optimism for new drug approvals and investor confidence in
the consistency of their growth.
Stock selection in the financial area also contributed to the Fund's
positive results as did a more benign interest-rate outlook. ADVANTA, Cl.A.,
a credit card company, banks such as Citicorp, Bank of New York, BayBanks and
Midlantic, specialty financial services companies such as Green Tree
Financial, a provider of mobile home financing, and Federal National Mortgage
Association, performed well for most of the year. In addition, insurers
American International Group and Allstate rose on expectations of lower
interest rates and possible industry consolidation.
Our focus in the technology sector was on stocks of companies which we
believed had fairly established market positions, superior technology and
outstanding management teams. Individual issues such as 3Com, Applied
Materials, Hewlett-Packard, Linear Technology, and Sun Microsystems were all
stellar performers. We believe each of these companies stands to benefit not
just from demand for a single product, but from a broad, diversified product
offering with multiple downstream beneficiaries. We believe these qualities
lower the risk profile of the Fund's technology weighting relative to the
typical technology stock and lower the general level of volatility in the
sector.
THE TAKEOVER THEME
Overall, from a stock selection standpoint, the Fund has benefited from
the rising tide of takeovers this year. Companies are under pressure to make
revenues grow in a very competitive environment, and are therefore buying
other firms to broaden and deepen their product offerings. Several Fund
holdings were taken over this year: Cordis, a medical technology firm;
BayBanks, a large regional banking firm; Capital Cities ABC, a broadcasting
company; and Scott Paper, a paper manufacturer. There are several other names
in the portfolio that we believe could benefit from this theme over the
coming years.
Going forward, we feel that the Federal Reserve's hold on the market will
persist. However, this time the Fed's action may benefit stocks because we
believe rates will be further reduced rather than raised, as the economy
shows signs of slowing. Our goal, as ever, is to provide superior returns to
our shareholders while honoring your socially responsible investment
objectives. We are confident in the outlook for the Fund and appreciate your
continued support. We take your socially responsible directives seriously as
we endeavor to provide attractive returns on shareholder capital.
Sincerely,

THE DREYFUS SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GROWTH FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act")
as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund is intended
to be a funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life
insurance policies to be offered by the separate accounts of life insurance
companies. Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the
distributor of the Fund's shares which are sold without a sales charge. The
Distributor, located at One Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI Distribution Services, Inc., a provider of
mutual fund administration services, which in turn is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FDI Holdings, Inc., the parent company of which is Boston
Institutional Group, Inc. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus") serves as the
Fund's investment adviser. NCM Capital Management Group, Inc. serves as the
Fund's sub-investment adviser. Dreyfus is a direct subsidiary of Mellon Bank,
N.A.
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities are valued at the last
sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily
traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market.
Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or
securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of
the most recent bid and asked prices. Bid price is used when no asked price
is available.
(B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend
income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including,
where applicable, amortization of discount on investments, is recognized on
the accrual basis.
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized
capital gain are normally declared and paid annually, but the Fund may make
distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. This may result in distributions
that are in excess of investment income-net on a fiscal year basis. To the
extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss
carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gain.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund reclassified $15,367
from paid-in capital to undistributed investment income-net and net assets
were not affected by the change.
(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the
best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable
income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and
excise taxes.
NOTE 2-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACT
IONS WITH AFFILIATES:
(A) Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with Dreyfus, the
investment advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of .75 of 1% of the
average daily value of the Fund's net assets and is payable monthly. The
Investment Advisory Agreement further provides that if in any full year the
aggregate expenses of the Fund, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest on
borrowings and extraordinary
THE DREYFUS SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GROWTH FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any state having jurisdiction over
the Fund, the Fund may deduct from the fee to be paid to Dreyfus, or Dreyfus
will bear, such excess expense to the extent required by state law. However,
Dreyfus had undertaken from January 1, 1995 through July 10, 1995 to reduce
the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund, to the extent that the Fund's
aggregate expenses (exclusive of certain expenses as described above)
exceeded specified annual percentages of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to
$11,650 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Pursuant to a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with NCM Capital
Management Group, Inc., the sub-investment advisory fee is computed at an
annual rate of .10 of 1% on the first $500 million and .20 of 1% on the
excess of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets and is payable
monthly by Dreyfus.
Effective December 1, 1995, the Fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for
providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for
the Fund. Such compensation amounted to $11 for the period from December 1,
1995 through December 31, 1995.
(B) Pursuant to the Fund's Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund reimburses
Dreyfus Service Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, an amount
not to exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Fund's average
daily net assets for certain allocated expenses with respect to servicing
and/or maintaining shareholder accounts. During the year ended December 31,
1995, $2,800 was charged to the Fund pursuant to the Shareholder Services
Plan.
(C) Each director who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the Fund an annual fee of $2,500. The Chairman of the Board
receives an additional 25% of such compensation.
NOTE 3-SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
excluding short-term securities, during the year ended December 31, 1995,
amounted to $32,998,822 and $14,121,334, respectively.
At December 31, 1995, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on
investments was $3,722,618, consisting of $4,326,576 gross unrealized
appreciation and $603,958 gross unrealized depreciation.
At December 31, 1995, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
THE DREYFUS SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GROWTH FUND, INC.
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE DREYFUS SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GROWTH FUND, INC.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc., including the statement
of investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights
for each of the years indicated therein. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc. at December
31, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes
in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the indicated years, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As I begin my thirtieth year in this business, I appreciate more than ever what
it takes to survive--and to thrive--as a money manager. My experience has taught
me to be like a fox...to work with the pack without blindly following the
herd...to bide my time, always ready to pounce and take advantage of the
extraordinary opportunity when it presents itself.
I believe there are extraordinary opportunities out there right now for
incisive, agile money managers. A number of great, young growth companies--in
America and abroad--are poised to break away from their competition.
It is our goal to break away with them, using their strength and momentum to
create rewards for our shareholders.
Since its inception on May 8, 1992 through December 31, 1995 the Strong
Discovery Fund II has provided investors with a cumulative total return of
70.01%, outpacing the S&P 500 Stock Index's return of 63.88% for the same time
period.
Market Summary
STOCKS. In 1995, two of the most influential factors that drive stock
prices--earnings and interest rates--came together to create a nearly perfect
environment for U.S. common stocks. The rally was a fairly steady one, with the
S&P hitting 88 new highs during the twelve months. Most small stocks, though
they lagged their larger brethren a bit, produced solid gains as well.
LONG BONDS. Moderate inflation and slow economic growth also helped to fuel a
robust rally in long-term bonds. The benchmark 30-year Treasury bond's yield
dropped to 5.95% by December 31 from 7.88% a year ago.
SHORT BONDS. Interest rates fell at the short end of the market, too. Although,
thanks primarily to the Federal Reserve's moderated monetary policy, they
dropped less than long rates did. After raising rates in February, the central
bank lowered its federal funds rate twice, in July and in December. The easing,
however, totaled just 50 basis points (0.50%) for the year, leaving the yield
curve--the spread between short-and long-term rates--fairly flat.
Overall, 1995 was an excellent year for most investments, and we're proud to be
able to include the Strong Discovery Fund II among that group. By balancing
the Fund's holdings among a mix of resurgent, blue-chip companies and smaller,
rapidly growing companies, we were able to create a total return of 35.26% for
the year.
Strategy Review
STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO STOCKS. Throughout the year, we maintained a bullish
exposure to U.S. common stocks. Three key factors led us to hold our course:
1. two years of robust corporate earnings growth,
2. the poor performance of the market in 1994, and
3. our view that interest rates would decline.
Our willingness to stick with a market that many believed was topping out
helped the Fund participate fully in the market's year-long rally.
SELECTED THEMES. As ever, our approach to managing the portfolio included
healthy measures of both bottom-up stock selection and theme-oriented research.
For example, with the help of our energetic staff of analysts, we were able to
take advantage of the year's strong surge in technology stocks.
In fact, a number of our holdings in this sector were among the portfolio's top
performers. Examples include McAfee Associates, a California firm that
specializes in computer-virus software, and CBT Group PLC, which develops,
publishes, and markets software for networked and stand-alone personal
computers.
By year end, however, we had begun taking profits, reducing our technology
exposure significantly. As of December 31, technology issues accounted for
29.8% of the portfolio, down from a high of 50.3% at the end of September.
In addition to identifying sectors we believe show greater-than-average
opportunity, we also seek to identify areas of the market that
may be headed for trouble. The aging baby-boom generation, if it follows
historical patterns, should soon begin to consume less and save more. This is
not good news for most U.S. retailers. As a result, we have significantly
underweighted this sector in the portfolio.
OPPORTUNISTIC USE OF BONDS. Late in the year, with the economy slowing and
interest rates headed down further, we moved a portion of the portfolio into
long-term bonds. As a result, we were able to lock in some attractive long-term
yields.
Our Outlook
Overall, our outlook for U.S. stocks remains favorable. All the key variables
are pointed in the right direction: growth is moderate, inflation is low, and
we expect interest rates to ease further.
We all must keep in mind, however, that the market's huge run up in 1995 is a
lot for the system to digest. Unless the Fed is willing to take more aggressive
action to fuel the economy, the prospects for corporate earnings are, if not
dim, certainly diminished, especially when compared to last year.
Still, we wholeheartedly believe that there are terrific investment
opportunities out there for those investors who know where to look.
Thank you for choosing the Strong Discovery Fund II to help meet your
investment needs.
Sincerely,
/s/ Richard S. Strong

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION
The Strong Discovery Fund II is a diversified series of the Strong Variable
Insurance Funds, Inc., an open-end management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
(A) Security Valuation -- Portfolio securities traded primarily on a
principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales
price or the mean between the latest bid and asked prices where no
last sales price is available. Securities traded over-the-counter are
valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices or the last
reported sales price. Debt securities not traded on a principal
securities exchange are valued through valuation obtained from a
commercial pricing service, otherwise sale or bid prices are used.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of
the Board of Directors. Securities which are purchased within 60 days
of their stated maturity are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates current value.
The Fund may own certain investment securities which are restricted as
to resale. These securities are valued after giving due consideration
to pertinent factors, including recent private sales, market
conditions and the issuer's financial performance. The Fund generally
bears the costs, if any, associated with the disposition of restricted
securities. Aggregate cost and fair value of these restricted
securities held at December 31, 1995 were as follows (in thousands):
Aggregate Cost $230
Aggregate Fair Value 149
Percent of Net Assets 0.1%
(B) Federal Income and Excise Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders --
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and
to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund.
Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.
The character of distributions made during the year from net
investment income or net realized gains may differ from the
characterization for Federal income tax purposes due to differences in
the recognition of income and expense items for financial statement
and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net
asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in
nature.
(C) Realized Gains and Losses on Investment Transactions -- Gains or
losses realized on investment transactions are determined by comparing
the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales
proceeds.
(D) Futures -- Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges to
the broker cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid,
high-grade debt obligations equal to the minimum "initial margin"
requirements of the exchange. The Fund also receives from or pays to
the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the
value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as
"variation margin," and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.
When the futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is
recorded 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.
(E) Options -- Premiums received by the Fund upon writing put or call
options are recorded as an asset with a corresponding liability which
is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option.
When an option expires, is exercised, or is closed, the Fund realizes
a gain or loss, and the liability is eliminated. The Fund continues
to bear the risk of adverse movements in the price of the underlying
asset during the period of the option, although any potential loss
during the period would be reduced by the amount of the option
premium received.
(F) Foreign Currency Translation -- Investment securities and other assets
and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are
converted to U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates.
Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income are
converted to U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect
of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized
security gains or losses is reflected as a component of such gains or
losses.
(G) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts -- Forward foreign
currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate and are
marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is recorded as an
unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund
records an exchange 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 1995
(H) Additional Investment Risk -- The use of futures contracts, options,
foreign denominated assets and forward foreign currency exchange
contracts for purposes of hedging the Fund's investment portfolio
involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. The
predominant risk with futures contracts is an imperfect correlation
between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities.
Foreign denominated assets and forward foreign currency exchange
contracts may involve greater risks than domestic transactions,
including currency, political and economic, regulatory and market
risks.
(I) Other -- Investment security transactions are recorded as of the trade
date. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded
on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis and includes amortization of premium and discounts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of the
Strong Discovery Fund II
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Strong
Discovery Fund II (one of the portfolios constituting the Strong Variable
Insurance Funds, Inc.), including the schedule of investments in securities, as
of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodians and
brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Strong Discovery Fund II as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations
for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
