DOMINION INSIGHT GROWTH FUND
A SERIES OF DOMINION FUNDS, INC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Our Shareholders:

Clearly, 1995 was a remarkable year for Dominion Insight Growth Fund (DIGF).

With a total return of 64.7%, DIGF was ranked as the #1 growth fund for the
year by Lipper Analytical Services as reported in The Wall Street Journal.
While our goals for 1996 include above average investment performance, it
should be remembered that 1995 was more the exception.

Yet the equity market remains strong as the economy continues its rather slow
pace.  Earnings surprises and volatility are to be expected, especially with
small and mid-cap companies.  The market tends to respond dramatically to even
slight differences between projected and reported earnings.  This emphasizes
the need to retain qualified management in directing your portfolio.

John A. Knubel, a founding member of DIGF's Board of Directors, was confirmed
by the U.S. Senate as Chief Financial Officer of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development.  As a result, he was required to resign his position on all
outside boards.  While we will sincerely miss Mr. Knubel's attendance, he
remains a trusted and valuable friend as a shareholder and advisor.

To replace Mr. Knubel, the Board of Directors unanimously elected the Honorable
Allen B. Clark to the Board at its quarterly meeting held in January, 1996.
Following his graduation, in 1963,  from  the U.S. Military Academy at West
Point, Mr. Clark served his country as an officer in the U.S. Army.   Later,
Mr. Clark worked for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs as
Assistant Secretary for Veterans Liaison and as Director of the National
Cemetery System.  He also brings extensive experience in managing the affairs
of state government and business, and is well qualified to represent
shareholders as DIGF continues to manage the capital entrusted to it.

We remain committed to serving you, and anticipate 1996 to be a year of superb
performance, expanded  services, and shareholder growth.


                                            /s/ DOUGLAS W. POWELL

The performance data presented does not reflect the deduction of the sales load
and, if reflected, the load would reduce the performance quoted.  The
performance data presented represents past performance, and the investment
return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.

                         Notes to Financial Statements


Note 1   -       Organization and Nature of Operations

                 Dominion Insight Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series
                 of shares of common stock of Dominion Funds, Inc. (the
                 "Company"). The Company was incorporated in the State of Texas
                 on June 5, 1992.  The Company is registered under the
                 Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end
                 management investment company.  The Fund is subject to various
                 investment restrictions as set forth in the Statement of
                 Additional Information.  The effective date of the Fund's
                 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 was
                 October 27, 1992.  The primary investment objective of the
                 Fund is capital appreciation.  The Company may designate one
                 or more series of common stock.  The only series currently
                 designated is the Fund.  Each share represents an equal
                 proportionate interest in the assets of the Fund with each
                 other share in such series and no interest in any other
                 series.

Note 2   -       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

                 Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Finacial Statements

                 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
                 generally accepted accounting principles requires mangement to
                 make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
                 amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of
                 contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
                 statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
                 during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
                 those estimates.

                 Security Valuation

                 Investments in securities traded on a national securities
                 exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are
                 stated at the last reported sales price on the day of
                 valuation; other securities traded in the over-the-counter
                 market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on
                 that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Other
                 securities for which quotations are not readily available are
                 valued at fair value as determined by the Board of Directors.

                 Security Transactions and Related Investment Income

                 The Company follows industry practice and records security
                 transactions on the trade date. Dividend income is recognized
                 on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on
                 an accrual basis.  Realized security gains and losses are
                 reported on an identified cost basis.

Note 2   -       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

                 Cash

                 Cash is held in a credit interest account at May Financial
                 Corporation, a member of the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.,
                 bearing interest at a variable rate.  At December 31, 1995,
                 the interest rate was 4.781%.

                 Organization Costs

                 Organization costs have been capitalized  and are being
                 amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five
                 years.  If any of the initial shares are redeemed before all
                 the organizational costs have been amortized, the proceeds
                 will be reduced by the redeemed share's pro rata share of the
                 then- unamortized organization costs, in the same proportion
                 as the number of shares redeemed bears to the total number of
                 initial shares outstanding.

                 Income Taxes

                 The Fund intends to qualify, under the Internal Revenue Code,
                 as a regulated investment company and if so qualified, will
                 not have to pay federal income taxes to the extent its taxable
                 net income is distributed.  On a calendar year basis, the Fund
                 is subject to a 4% federal excise tax to the extent it does
                 not distribute substantially all of its net investment income
                 and realized gains, if any.

                 Net investment income, net realized gains and the cost of
                 investments in securities may differ for financial statement
                 and tax purposes because of book-to-tax differences.  The
                 character of distributions from net investment income or net
                 realized gains may therefore differ form their ultimate
                 characterization for federal income tax purposes.  At December
                 31, 1995, there were no material differences.  Also, due to
                 the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which
                 amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the
                 income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.

                 Income and Capital Gains Distributions

                 It is the policy of the Fund to generally pay annual
                 distributions from net investment income and make
                 distributions of any realized capital gains as required by
                 law.  These dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date,
                 and are reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund at net
                 asset value or are payable in cash without any charge to the
                 shareholder.

Note 6    -      Investment Advisory Fees and Other Agreements and Transactions
                 with Affiliates

                 The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory
                 Agreement") with Insight Capital Management, Inc.  (the
                 "Advisor") to act as its investment advisor. The Advisor also
                 serves as investment advisor to certain private accounts.  The
                 Advisor provides the Fund with investment advice and
                 recommendations for the Fund consistent with its investment
                 objective, policies and restrictions, and supervises the
                 purchase and sale of security transactions on behalf of the
                 Fund, including the negotiation of commissions and the
                 allocation of principal business and portfolio brokerage.  For
                 such services, the Advisor receives an annual fee of 1.0% of
                 the Fund's average daily net assets, computed daily and paid
                 on a monthly basis.

                 The Fund has an Administration Agreement with Dominion
                 Institutional Services Corporation (the "Administrator").
                 Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, and subject to the
                 authority of the Board of Directors of the Company, the
                 Administrator is responsible for the administration of the
                 Fund and overall management of the Fund's business affairs.
                 The Administrator provides all services required to carry on
                 the Fund's general administrative and corporate affairs.
                 These services include furnishing all executive and managerial
                 personnel, office space and equipment, and providing federal
                 and state regulatory compliance.  For its services, the
                 Administrator receives an annual fee of 1.25% of the Fund's
                 average daily net assets, computed daily and paid on a monthly
                 basis.

                 The Fund has entered into a Distribution Agreement with
                 Dominion Capital Corporation (the "Distributor") pursuant to
                 which the Distributor performs services and bears the expenses
                 relating to the offering of Fund shares for sale to the
                 public.  As compensation for the services provided and
                 expenses borne by the Distributor, the Fund pays the
                 Distributor the sales charges.  Sales charges received by the
                 Distributor for Fund shares sold for the six months ended
                 December 31, 1995 were approximately $37,747.

                 During the six months ended December 31, 1995, all orders for
                 the Fund's portfolio securities transactions were placed
                 through the Distributor, and it is expected that the Advisor
                 will continue to place such orders with the Distributor.
                 Commissions received by the Distributor for executing
                 portfolio transactions for the six months ended December 31,
                 1995 were approximately $41,997.

                 Certain directors and officers of the Company are also
                 directors, officers, and/or  employees of the Administrator
                 and the Distributor.
