A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[PHOTO OF JOHN F. O'BRIAN
APPEARS HERE]
Dear Client:
Entering 1996, many analysts were forecasting that the economy would grow
modestly, inflation would remain level, interest rates would decline slightly
and the bond and stock markets would return to more "normal" annual returns.
However, the first six months have produced quite different results.
Following a stream of economic reports showing that the economy was far stronger
than had been anticipated, investors became concerned early in the year about
the potential for rising inflation. In response, interest rates rose signi-
ficantly. The bond market declined -1.21% as measured by the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index. And the 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds declined an even
greater -9.35%.
In contrast, stock market investors ignored the concerns of the bond market
and focused instead on strong corporate earnings. That drove the stock market up
10.10% for the period, as measured by the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index.
In fact, this six-month return matched the market's average 12-month rate of
return for the past two decades.
Both the stock market and the bond market returns for early 1996 reinforce
just how unpredictable the markets can be. Consequently Allmerica remains
focused on providing you with quality products and investment options that can
help you reach your long-term financial goals - regardless of what happens in
the short term.
As part of that commitment, Allmerica continues to offer you access to a
broad array of money managers with complementary investment strategies. Our
Manager Evaluation Committee, in conjunction with a leading pension consultant,
has carefully selected some of the best money managers available in a spectrum
of investment categories. This Committee meets quarterly to monitor each
managers' performance and recommend any changes which may be appropriate. Such
was the case recently. We are pleased to announce that effective July 1, 1996
Putnam Investment Management, Inc. will assume sub-advisory responsibility of
the Select Growth Fund.
This change reflects our commitment to carefully selecting each of our money
managers, ensuring they continue to earn their place on Allmerica's elite
roster.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
/s/John J. O'Brien

DOMESTIC &
INTERNATIONAL
EQUITY MARKET
OVERVIEW
1990-1991: Economic recession in the United States. A deep depression affects
much of the former Soviet bloc countries.
1992: U.S. economy continues its slow recovery. Larger companies downsize while
smaller firms thrive.
1993: A year of low interest rates and strong growth in the emerging markets.
1994: Federal Reserve Board raises interest rates six times stalling equity
markets.
1995: Favorable economic conditions result in tremendous gains for the U.S.
equity markets. Europe turns in strongest performance of international equity
markets.
Sustained growth and renewed vola-tility characterized the domestic equity
market for the six months ending June 30, 1996.
Surprisingly strong company fundamentals and corporate profits propelled the
stock market upward throughout the period. In fact, stocks of companies of all
sizes delivered solid returns.
Continued demand for equities has played a major role in sustaining the
current bull market. This demand has been bolstered by corporate share
repurchase programs and merger/acquisition activities as well as by huge cash
inflows into equity mutual funds. During the first six months of 1996, over $99
billion streamed into equity mutual funds, nearly matching the $128 billion
record for all of 1995. So far, this demand has more than offset the supply
coming into the stock market.
While demand has remained steady through this six-month period, individual
stocks and industries have gone in and out of favor. Investors have struggled to
predict which way interest rates would move - and consequently which segments of
the market would benefit from that shift.
As in many first quarters, investors favored commodity stocks. A cold winter
and rising oil prices stimulated the energy group, which was led by drilling and
oil equipment suppliers.
In 1996, many retail stocks recovered from a disappointing 1995. In the
second quarter in particular, footwear and apparel industries rebounded, posting
returns of 25% and 19%, respectively. Tobacco stocks also shook off their
critics, jumping 17% as a group.
As a whole, technology stocks continued to produce impressive double-digit

returns for the period, although not without significant volatility from month
to month. During June, many technology companies "pre-announced" news of
disappointing returns before the close of the quarter. Characteristically, many
market participants responded by selling off the entire sector.
Moving into the second half of the year, the domestic stock market appears to
be maintaining its bullish outlook. In general, many analysts expect fair
valuations and continued investment inflows to facilitate an upward trend in the
market. However, short-term volatility is also likely to continue, as investors
continue to try to predict how specific sectors will be affected by various
economic signals.
On the global scene, U.S. investors in international equities experienced
mixed results. Overall, solid gains in many foreign markets were offset by the
U.S. dollar's appreciation over the local currency. For example, the 7.56%
advance of Japan's Nikkei Index was reduced to a 2.39% gain when converted from
yen to U.S. dollars. And the 10.79% return of the German DAX was reduced to a
4.50% gain.
To date, the most promising results for international investors have been in
Europe, where the establishment of the European Monetary Union (EMU) by 1999 now
seems likely. Numerous European countries exceeded the Morgan Stanley Europe,
Australia and the Far East (EAFE) Index for the first six months of 1996,
including France, Italy, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
Following a decisive election victory by a coalition center-left party, Italy
turned out to be Europe's star performer in the second quarter, delivering a
13.62% gain in U.S. dollar terms. Conversely, Switzerland turned in a -2.40%
return, largely due to the weakness of the Swiss Franc against the U.S. dollar.
Throughout the period, the performance of the United Kingdom market remained
lackluster. News of the country's political uncertainty, exacerbated by the beef
crisis, tended to drown out reports of strong company earnings and increased
takeover activity.
While the Japanese economy has exhibited signs of recovery in the first six
months of the year, some portfolio managers caution that this growth may be
temporary.
In Far Eastern markets, the increases in share values, anticipated since
early 1996, have not yet materialized. However, given the rate of economic
growth, some analysts continue to believe these markets offer attractively
valued opportunities.

The Select International Equity Fund is a
portfolio of the Allmerica Investment Trust.
Past performance is no guarantee of future
results. 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.
In the first half of 1996, the Select International Equity Fund returned a solid
7.95%, outpacing the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index by more than three percentage
points and nearly matching the 8.02% return of the Lipper International Fund
Average.
Much of this success can be attributed to the performance of individual
stocks within the Fund. Strong company earnings, ahead of expectations in many
cases, propelled the upward momentum.
Takeover and merger activity was again a major factor in the markets. This
activity helped the performance of a number of individual stocks, primarily in
the healthcare and financial sectors.
The Cyclical Recovery in Paper/Print Industries Theme rallied following a
disappointing performance in 1995. Other cyclical companies within the Global
Cyclical Recovery Theme recovered over the period but to a lesser extent than
the paper/print companies. Themes directed at growth in the Far East were mixed.
Financial companies within the Expanding Financial Services in Developing
Markets Theme performed strongly on the back of increased lending growth and
expansion margins.
Moving into the third quarter, Bank of Ireland Asset Management expects
inflation to remain subdued. However, it cautions that European markets may
continue to be influenced by the direction of interest rates in the United
States - and that political concerns in the United Kingdom will continue to
complicate matters. On a more positive note, the weakness of the core currencies
has benefited exports, since weaker currencies have made European products less
expensive in foreign markets.
While the Japanese economy is showing signs of recovery, the Fund's
management remains cautious about its prospects. In contrast, Bank of Ireland
Asset Management believes the Far East will provide attractive investment
opportunities. We have not seen the kind of liquidity surge (and resulting
increase in share values) that has been expected since early 1996. As a result,
valuation levels are not excessive, given the rate of economic growth, and Bank
of Ireland Asset Management will continue to target those opportunities
selectively.

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL STOCK PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of June 30, 1996, the T. Rowe Price International Stock Portfolio delivered a
total return of 9.04%, significantly outperforming the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index
of 4.67%.
Overall, the Portfolio's country allocation contributed positively to total
returns. Value was added in Europe, thanks to the Portfolio's overweighting in
the Netherlands and its underweighting in Switzerland. In Latin America, the
Portfolio's exposure to the Brazilian stock market also proved beneficial.
Detracting from the Portfolio's successful country selection was its
overweighting in Korea and Singapore, whose performance negatively impacted
overall return.
A number of strategic stock selections contributed to the Portfolio's
positive performance. The most value was added in Europe, where French and
German stocks proved particularly strong. Individual stock selections in Japan
and Brazil also enhanced performance. Stock picks in the Pacific Rim countries
other than Japan slightly subtracted from overall returns.
In the second quarter of 1996, Rowe Price-Fleming International gradually
increased the Portfolio's exposure to the Japanese market, mainly through an
increase in the size of existing holdings. Concurrently, it took profits in the
Netherlands and Switzerland, channeling those profits into additional holdings
in Hong Kong and Brazil. The Portfolio's management also reduced the Portfolio's
exposure to Mexico and Singapore.
Relative to the Index, the Portfolio's emphasis remains away from Japan and
towards faster growing economies in the Pacific and Latin America. European
exposure remains neutral, although this masks overweightings in the Netherlands,
France and Norway which are balanced by underweightings in the United Kingdom,
Germany and Switzerland.
Moving into the third quarter, the Port-folio's management looks forward to
strong international markets. Certain individual stocks look attractive in Japan
and Europe. In addition, Management also expects the smaller markets of Asia and
Latin America to continue to advance during 1996.

The Select Aggressive Growth Fund is a port-
folio of the Allmerica investment Trust.
Past performance is no guarantee of future
results. 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.
For the first six months of 1996, the Select Aggressive Growth Fund delivered a
14.76% return, significantly outperforming the 10.36% return of the Russell 2000
Index as well as the 11.50% of the Lipper Capital Appreciation Fund Average.
Driving the Fund's outperformance of its benchmarks was its solid stock
selection - particularly in the financial service, energy, utility,
manufacturing, technology, and health care sectors. An overweighting in the
technology and health care sectors, which performed well throughout most of the
period, also contributed to the Fund's double-digit gains.
In the technology sector, which represented nearly 18% of the portfolio's
holdings, the Fund's management concentrated on four key areas:
1) semiconductors and electronic components, 2) telecommunications equipment,
3) computers and office automation, and 4) software. As a whole, these holdings
produced excellent gains for the overall period but increased volatility for
specific months.
In the health care sector, the Fund management's focus was on
pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical supplies, managed health care and health
services.
Because of the outperformance of large capitalization stocks since 1994, the
Fund's management believes that small- and mid-cap stocks now offer attractive
values. The Fund's assets will remain invested in those companies that the
manager believes to be fundamentally strong and that exhibit the fastest growth
potential. Presently, the average growth rate for stocks held in the Fund is 33%
- - which is significantly higher than both the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000
Indices.
Beside the fundamentals of the companies themselves, the Fund's management
believes that the direction of interest rates will be the major factor
influencing stock prices for the remainder of the year. The Fund's management
believes that an increase in interest rates could depress growth stocks more
than value stocks. While the long-term prospects for growth companies should
remain strong, management cautions that aggressive growth stocks may be
particularly sensitive to short-term economic events.

SELECT CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first six months of 1996, the Select Capital Appreciation Fund
significantly outperformed its benchmark by over three percentage points,
delivering an impressive 13.64% return.
Throughout this period of uncertainty, the Fund's management remained
focused on companies with exceptional growth potential that can be consistently
realized regardless of economic conditions. Stock selections have included:
. HFS Inc., a hotel franchisor that has developed a number of successful
cross-selling strategies in lodging and real estate;
. CUC International, an operator of membership discount clubs; and
. Global DirectMail, a catalogue retailer of computer peripherals and office
products.
Other strong performers for the Fund in the second quarter were Culligan, the
maker of water purification products, and Millicom International, which is
expanding its cellular services into emerging economies.
In the second quarter, the Fund's management took profits in a number of the
holdings. Prominent in this group were Medaphis, a provider of accounting
services to physicians' groups, auto parts distributor AutoZone, and long-time
holding Lone Star Steakhouse.
On the minus side, the Fund's management liquidated its position in General
Nutrition Centers at a loss, after General Nutrition's sluggish sales weighed
heavily on its stock price. Despite disappointing second quarter results from
one of the Fund's major positions, Paging Network, the Fund's management is
holding the stock in anticipation of stronger results.
During this period, two key positions were added to the Fund: Matrix
Pharmaceutical - a drug delivery company pioneering innovative delivery systems
for cancer drugs; and Fastenal - a nuts and bolts manufacturer with an
exceptional corporate culture dedicated to sales and customer service.
Overall, the Fund's management is optimistic about the earnings potential of
current holdings, but concerned about the persistence of higher interest rates.
Rather than trying to time the market, Janus Capital Corporation will remain
focused on strong individual stock selection.

*As of July 1 1996, Putnam Investment Management, Inc. assumed sub-advisory
responsibilities for the Select Growth Fund.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 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.
During the first six months of 1996, the Select Growth Fund successfully
capitalized on the continuing stock market rally, turning in an impressive
mid-year return of 12.27%. This return surpassed both the 10.10% return of the
S&P 500(R) Index as well as the 10.08% return of the Lipper Growth Fund Average.
The Fund's outperformance of its benchmarks can be largely attributed to its
strong stock selection success. In the entertainment and leisure area, the
Fund's management invested in HFS Inc. - which returned 44% during the second
quarter alone. Encouraged by strengthening fundamentals in the gaming industry,
the Fund's management also invested in Mirage and Circus Circus - both of which
appreciated 22% during the second quarter.
In the technology sector, the Fund maintained positions in Oracle and
Microsoft, which continued to dominate their respective product categories. The
Fund's holdings in both Andrew Corp. and U.S. Robotics gained a phenomenal 100%
during the first six months of 1996.
The Fund's management continues to be optimistic about the prospects for the
equity market in general - given the fact that corporate profits have been
growing two to four times faster than the underlying economy during the last
four years.
Specifically, the Fund's management is bullish on growth companies that have
been able to increase both revenues and profits. Management believes that
economically sensitive companies, having improved operating efficiencies to
increase profits, will have a difficult time growing their earnings without
revenue growth.
Given this outlook, continued success in the equity markets during 1996 will
likely depend on careful individual stock selection rather than on "buying the
market."

FIDELITY VIP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slightly outperforming the S&P 500(R) Index, the Fidelity VIP Growth Portfolio
returned 10.73% during the first six months of 1996.
Despite mixed performance in the technology sector throughout much of the
first half of the year, technology remained the Portfolio's top sector
allocation. The Portfolio's management believes that technology stocks continue
to offer selective long-term opportunities, particularly in the areas of
networking and clientserver computing.
Solid stock selections rewarded the Portfolio's emphasis on the technology
sector. Holdings in Cisco Systems (+51.76%), Oracle (+39.60%), Microsoft
(+36.90%) and US Robotics (+94.87%) boosted overall returns.
The Portfolio was also overweighted in the retail-wholesale sector - a move
that proved beneficial as apparel and specialty retailers rebounded during the
first half of the year. Holdings in Petsmart (+54.03%), Wal Mart (+14.53%) and
Home Depot (+13.33%) were notably strong performers. But Sunglass Hut
International turned out to be a disappointment, giving back most of its strong
first quarter gains amidst concerns over diminished sales growth.
During the first half of 1996, the Portfolio benefited from having few
holdings in the financial services sector, as the rising interest rate
environment depressed many financial services stocks.
One key sector allocation did detract from the Portfolio's performance.
Utility holdings, particularly in the Regional Bell Operating Companies,
performed poorly as the euphoria regarding the benefits of telecommunications
deregulation began to wane. Second quarter results were also held back by an
underweighting in nondurable goods, as beverage and tobacco stocks performed
well during the period.

The Select Growth and Income Fund is a portfolio of the Allmerica Investment
Trust.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 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.
For the six months ending June 30, 1996, the Select Growth and Income Fund
produced a net total return of 9.51%.
In the first half of the year, the Fund's largest positions produced
important gains - generally benefiting from vigilant cost cutting, re-engineered
manufacturing processes, increased productivity, and more global product
offerings.
Among the portfolio's leading gainers were Anheuser Busch, which benefited
from a renewed focus on its growing core beer business. Corning also advanced,
after the company announced its intention to spin off its troubled diagnostic
laboratories and its clinical testing segment. And ITT rose, after the company
articulated its gaming expansion plans in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, as well
as its joint venture with Planet Hollywood.
Multinational companies, such as Citicorp, Eastman Kodak and Avon also
advanced, fueled by heightened enthusiasm for U.S. goods and services in
emerging markets around the world.
So far this year, few of the Fund's holdings have experienced adverse
developments. However, Reader's Digest, grappling with the continued weakness of
its European operations, posted disappointing returns. NYNEX also declined,
although the Fund's management continues to believe that the value inherent in
the non-Regional Bell Operating Companies' assets are substantial.
Looking forward, John A. Levin & Company anticipates that stock market
returns are likely to remain volatile. Nonetheless, the Fund's management
expects the fluctuating market to continue to create opportunity, namely in
investment quality securities with favorable prospects that are currently
selling at moderate valuations.
The Fund's management will continue to be proactive in reducing holdings in
stocks with relative price strength and/or disappointing fundamentals and will
carefully redeploy those assets.

FIDELITY VIP EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hindered by relatively large cash and long maturity bond holdings early in 1996,
the Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio returned 5.86% for the period -
underperforming both its benchmark and peer group.
During the second quarter, the Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio was
repositioned by reducing cash, essentially eliminating the bond position and
establishing a significant allocation to convertible securities.
In the first quarter, the Portfolio's bond holdings, consisting primarily of
interest sensitive, long-term U.S. Treasuries, declined sharply as investors
worried that a strengthening economy would spark inflation. The cash position
also hurt relative performance as stocks appreciated.
In the stock arena, the Portfolio profited from investments in the media and
leisure sector. These investments, primarily in companies with big hotel and
casino operations in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, benefited from strong tourist
traffic. The Portfolio also benefited from a decision to invest more heavily in
the retail sector than the index. After a disappointing Christmas season and
weather related slowdown early this year, the retailing sector recovered
strongly to show healthy sales growth.
Also positively affecting performance has been Portfolio management's
decision to underweight utilities relative to the index. Going into the third
quarter, they expect to maintain this underweighted position.
Less successful were technology investments, primarily in the semiconductor
and hardware areas, and in Regional Bell Operating Companies. Following the
passage of the telecommunications bill, RBOCs underperformed as investors sold
their positions to take profits.
As of May 31, 1996, approximately 15% of the Portfolio was invested in
convertible securities providing some yield and the potential for capital
appreciation. Portfolio management also sees significant opportunities in the
finance, health care and retail sectors - and has allocated a larger percentage
of the Portfolio's assets to these sectors.

BOND MARKET
OVERVIEW
1992: Government and corporate
bonds outperformed the stock market.
1993: U.S. economy gains momentum. Consumer spending and installment debt
increase.
1994: Federal Reserve Board raises interest rates six times in an effort to slow
down the economy and keep inflation in check, sending bond prices sharply lower.
1995: U.S. bond market enjoys its third best performance in 30 years, thanks to
strong total returns from 30-year U.S. Treasuries and corporate issues.
The first six months of this year have proven to be particularly trying for
bond investors. After experiencing the euphoria of double-digit returns in 1995,
investors entered 1996 with expectations of a strong performance or at least
positive results. However, as of June 30, 1996, the fixed income market posted a
negative return of -1.21%, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index.
Entering the year, many analysts anticipated that a balanced budget
agreement, additional rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, and restrained economic
growth would sustain the performance of the bond market. Some economists were
even predicting the economy would slip into recession. While preliminary
economic data did prompt the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 0.25% in
late January, this trend did not last long.
Beginning in February, a stream of positive economic reports revealed a much
healthier economy than had been expected. Such good news usually means bad news
for bond investors - and 1996 has been no exception. As interest rates climbed
rapidly from February to June, bond prices fell. In response, investors sold
fixed income securities across the maturity spectrum.
During the second quarter of the year, continued signs of economic strength
further depressed bond prices. The yield curve steepened as yields of
intermediate and long-term maturities rose more than short-term maturities.
Ironically, the poorest performance to date has been from those bonds many
believe to be the least "risky." As of June 30, 1996, 30-Year Treasury bonds
have lost about 9.35% since the first of the year.
The only truly bright spot in the fixed income securities markets this year
has been high yield bonds. In fact, the high yield sector, up over 3%, was
virtually the only sector of the fixed income market to post positive returns
during the first half of 1996.

<PAGE>
The relatively strong performance of high yield bonds can be attributed to
two key factors. High yield bonds are less sensitive to changes in interest
rates than other types of bonds, and the strong U.S. economy has reduced
investors' concerns about credit risk over the near term. Even though the supply
of new high yield issues increased during the second quarter of 1996, heavy
demand sustained their prices. This demand was fueled by large cash inflows from
investors now comfortable with assuming higher risk in hopes of higher yields.
To date, corporate bonds have also benefited from the positive economic news.
On a duration-adjusted basis, corporate bonds outpaced U.S. Treasury bonds. An
improving economic outlook, solid credit fundamentals, limited new issues, and
strong investor demand all combined to boost the performance of most sectors of
the industrial market.
Changes in interest rates had a somewhat positive effect on mortgage-backed
securities. As interest rates stabilized around 7% in the second quarter,
investors began to believe that their fears of refinancings were no longer
founded. Given that homeowners were shying away from any remortgaging activity,
mortgage yield spreads tightened and mortgage-backed securities outperformed the
bond market in general.
By the end of June, several key signs of moderating growth began to calm
investor concerns that the economy was overheated. Prices of most commodities as
well as consumer goods have remained subdued. The consumer, hampered by existing
high debt burdens, has shown little inclination to go on a spending spree. And
the manufacturing sector outside of autos is exhibiting only modest signs of
improvement.
Despite these trends, fears linger that the Federal Reserve will move to slow
growth by increasing interest rates and tightening the money supply. These fears
were reflected in the increasing yield differential between three-month U.S.
Treasury bills and two-year U.S. Treasury notes. In January, the yield for
two-year Treasuries exceeded three-month Treasuries by only one-tenth of one
point. By June, this differential had increased to almost a full percentage
point.
Going forward, many fixed income managers expect the U.S. economy to weaken
in the second half of 1996. If so, and the Federal Reserve refrains from raising
rates, bonds may recover in the second half of the year. If the Federal Reserve
does raise rates, bond prices could fall further. Either way, fixed income
securities may be headed for continued volatility, as analysts struggle to
predict the short-term direction of interest rates.

The Select Growth and Income Fund is a portfolio of the Allmerica Investment
Trust.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 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.
For the first half of 1996, the high yield sector was virtually the only sector
of the fixed income market to post positive returns. Even given this positive
trend, the Fidelity VIP High Income Portfolio significantly outperformed its
benchmark, delivering a total return of 7.29%. By contrast, the Merrill Lynch
High Yield Master Index, an unmanaged index of high yield bonds, posted a 2.85%
return.
Throughout this six-month period, the Portfolio benefited from the robust
demand for high yield securities and the strong, generally stable cash flow into
most funds. As of June 30, the Portfolio's 30-day yield stood at approximately
8.60%, with the maturity of its holdings averaging a little over seven years.
By the end of the period, the Portfolio held a significant exposure to
selected zero coupon bonds - which tend to show the greatest sensitivity to
interest rate changes. To provide insulation against the risk that interest
rates would rise, the Portfolio's management has concentrated these holdings in
issues where credit upgrades are anticipated.
As for specific industries, the Portfolio's management focused on high yield
issues from media and telecommunications firms, which contributed positively to
performance during the first half of the year.
About 8% of the Portfolio's assets were allocated to common stock holdings.
In certain instances, their valuations proved more attractive than those of the
debt securities from the same companies.
In anticipation of a general weakening of the U.S. economy in the second half
of the year, the management has limited the Portfolio's holdings in securities
of economically sensitive companies, such as basic industries and commodity
related businesses. Conversely, exposure has been increased in industries and
companies with more stable growth prospects, including local access
telecommunications providers.

A GUIDE TO REVIEWING PERFORMANCE The chart above compares the value of a $10,000
investment in Fidelity VIP High Income Portfolio, since June 30, 1986, to a
similar group of investments: the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index and the
Salomon Brothers High-Yield Index. Performance bench-marking allows investors to
objectively measure their portfolio's performance.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index is an unmanaged index of high yield
bonds. Salomon Brothers High-Yield Index tracks the performance of high yield
securities trades in the U.S. Bond Market. Performance numbers are net of all
fund operating expenses, but do not include insurance charges. If performance
information included the effect of these additional charges, it would have been
lower.

SELECT INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first six months of 1996, a surprisingly strong economy, rising interest
rates, and inflationary fears combined to depress the entire bond market.
Reflecting this turbulent mood, the Select Income Fund delivered a total return
of -1.65% as of June 30, 1996. This performance only slightly trailed the -1.21%
return of the Fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.
The bond market entered 1996 by continuing the bull market of 1995. In this
environment, the Select Income Fund benefited from its overweighting in
mortgage-backed securities as well as its slightly longer duration position
relative to the benchmark. However, the positive news ended abruptly as interest
rates rose during February and March. At the end of the first quarter, the
Select Income Fund was down -1.98%, compared to -1.79% for its benchmark.
In the second quarter of the year, the Fund's management modified the asset
mix slightly to better accommodate a strengthening economy. To boost overall
returns, the management took profits in some of its mortgage-backed securities.
These profits were primarily channeled into U.S. Treasuries and corporate bonds
issued by financial and industrial companies. This repositioning can be credited
with the Fund's outperformance of its benchmark in the latter part of the second
quarter.
Going forward, the Fund's management anticipates that economic growth will
moderate and inflationary pressures will subside. Over time, the higher yields
from corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities are expected to enhance the
Fund's return relative to the bench-mark which is heavily weighted in U.S.
Treasuries.
The Fund's management continues to believe that 7% represents excellent value
in the bond market. The portfolio is therefore positioned with a slightly longer
duration position. As for yield curve positioning, the majority of the Fund's
bonds will remain in the intermediate range, with maturities from 3 to 14 years.

MONEY
MARKET
OVERVIEW
1981: Money market returns peak
at 14.71%.
1992-1993: Federal Reserve eases interest rates to boost faltering economy.
1994: Federal Reserve raises interest rates six times in an effort to slow the
economy and keep inflation in check.
1995: After successfully piloting economy to a "soft landing," Federal Reserve
lowers federal funds target rate twice.
For the money market, the first six months of 1996 have been very unsettling
- - as investors' expectations over the direction of short-term interest rates
have shifted dramatically over the period.
As we moved from the fourth quarter of 1995 into the first quarter of 1996,
the economy's growth appeared to be subsiding. In response, the Federal Reserve
lowered its Federal Funds rate target by one-quarter of one percentage point to
5.25% late in January. Many market participants fully expected the Federal
Reserve to ease the money supply even further by again lowering rates during the
year.
However, this easing trend came to an abrupt halt early in the first quarter.
In February, a surprisingly large jump in employment figures marked the
beginning of a string of positive statistical releases. This economic data
revealed a much healthier economy than had been expected and investor optimism
quickly changed to pessimism about Federal Reserve policies. Throughout the
second quarter, investors began to anticipate that the Federal Reserve's next
move would be to raise rates rather than lower them.
By the end of June, evidence of an overheated economy and rising prices had
not yet materialized. Even though reports indicating moderate growth calmed
investor jitters somewhat, expectations that the Federal Reserve would tighten
the money supply had not dissipated. These expectations were reflected in the
spread differential between three-month U.S. Treasury bills and two-year
Treasury notes. This differential widened from a mere one-tenth of one
percentage point in January to almost a full percentage point in June.
Moving into the third quarter, it remains unclear what action the Federal
Reserve will take - and there is some speculation that the fact that this is an
election year may affect its decision. In the meantime, many money market
managers remain poised to adapt to any potential change in short-term rates.

MONEY MARKET FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the six-month period ending June 30, 1996, the Money Market Fund
successfully managed its three primary objectives of providing preservation of
capital, liquidity, and maximum current income. The Fund's net total return of
2.62% compared favorably to the benchmark Lipper Money Market Funds Average as
well as to the IBC/Donoghue General Purpose Money Market Average.
Against a volatile backdrop of changing economic growth expectations, the
Fund's management maintained a modestly longer average weighted maturity than
the index - focusing on securities which appreciate or roll down the yield curve
quickly during a rising rate environment. Securities that fit this criteria
included U.S. Treasury bills as well as government agency discount notes.
In the second quarter of 1996, an overweighting in two key areas added
substantial yield to the Fund - namely in longer-term top tier commercial paper
and in shorter-term repurchase agreements.
The Fund's management intends to maintain this long-run strategy moving into
the second half of 1996. Given that the reality of "moderate" growth has now
calmed the fears of "overheated growth," management expects the money markets to
settle down over the next six months.
However, expectations that the Federal Reserve might move to tighten the
money supply linger. Moving into the third quarter, the Fund's management has
structured the portfolio to facilitate rapid responses to any potential changes
in short-term rates resulting from new Federal Reserve policies.
IBC/Donoghue is an independent firm that tracks 2a-7 regulated money market
funds on a yield, shareholder, asset size and portfolio allocation basis. The
Lipper Money Market Funds Average is an unmanaged index of 290 funds within the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS . June 30, 1996 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
Allmerica Investment Trust (the "Trust"), formerly SMA Investment Trust, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end,
diversified, management investment company established as a Massachusetts
business trust for the purpose of providing a vehicle for the investment of
assets of various separate accounts established by Allmerica Financial Life
Insurance and Annuity Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Allmerica
Financial Life Insurance Company ("First Allmerica"), or other affiliated
insurance companies. As of the date of this report, the Trust offered twelve
managed investment portfolios. The accompanying financial statements and
financial highlights are those of the Select International Equity, Select
Aggressive Growth, Select Capital Appreciation, Select Growth, Select Growth and
Income, Select Income and Money Market Funds (individually, a "Portfolio,"
collectively, the "Portfolios") only.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of 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. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies which are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its
financial statements.
Security Valuation: Securities which are traded on a recognized exchange
(including securities traded through the National Market System) are valued at
the last sale price on the securities exchange on which such securities are
primarily traded or, if there were no sales during the day, at the mean of the
closing bid and asking price. Over-the-counter securities that are not traded
through the National Market System are valued on the basis of the bid price at
the close of business on each day. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days
or less are valued at amortized cost. Corporate debt securities and debt
securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies (other than short-term
investments) are valued by an independent pricing service approved by the Board
of Trustees which utilizes market quotations and transactions, quotations from
dealers and various relationships among securities in determining value. If not
valued by a pricing service, such securities are valued at prices obtained from
independent brokers. Investments with prices that cannot be readily obtained are
carried at market value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
The investments of the Money Market Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost
valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially
at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any
discount or premium.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Select International Equity and Select
Capital Appreciation Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts
whereby the Portfolios agree to sell a specific currency at a specific price at
a future date in an attempt to hedge against fluctuations in the value of the
underlying currency of certain portfolio instruments. Forward foreign currency
contracts are valued at the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency with
any fluctuations recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Purchases and sales of
forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and
counterparty are offset and presented on a net basis in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. Gains or losses on the purchase or sale of forward foreign
currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are recognized on
the date of offset, otherwise gains and losses are recognized on settlement
date.
Foreign Currency Translation: Investment valuations, other assets and
liabilities initially denominated in foreign currencies are converted each
business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and
sales of foreign investments and income and expenses are converted into U.S.
dollars based upon exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions. That portion of unrealized gains or losses on investments due to
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded
on the trade date. Net realized gains and losses from security transactions are
recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis and consists of interest accrued and, if applicable, discount
earned less premiums amortized. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
Federal Income Taxes: The Trust treats each Portfolio as a separate entity for
Federal income tax purposes. Each
----------------------------------------

ALLMERICA INVESTMENT TRUST
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portfolio of the Trust intends to continue to qualify as a "regulated investment
company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By
so qualifying, each Portfolio will not be subject to Federal income taxes to the
extent it distributes all of its taxable income and net realized gains for the
tax year ending December 31. In addition, by distributing during each calendar
year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain
other amounts, if any, each Portfolio will not be subject to Federal excise tax.
Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on
foreign dividend income and gains have been paid or provided for in accordance
with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
realized gain (loss) have been adjusted in the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities for permanent book-tax differences for all Portfolios with the
exception of the Money Market Portfolio through December 31, 1995.
Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared
and reinvested daily for the Money Market Fund, declared and distributed
quarterly for the Select Growth and Income and Select Income Funds and annually
for the Select International Equity, Select Aggressive Growth, Select Capital
Appreciation and Select Growth Funds. All Portfolios declare and distribute all
net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The distributions are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to
differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of gains or
losses on securities and forwards, including "Post October Losses" (Note 9) and
permanent differences due to differing treatments for paydown gains/losses on
certain securities, foreign currency transactions, market discount, non-taxable
dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. Any taxable income or gain
remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
Permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in ending undistributed
net investment income for the purpose of calculating net investment income per
share in the Financial Highlights.
Repurchase Agreements: Each Portfolio may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions with institutions that the Trust's Investment Adviser has
determined are creditworthy pursuant to guidelines established by the Trust's
Board of Trustees. Each repurchase agreement transaction is recorded at cost.
Each Portfolio requires that the securities purchased in a repurchase agreement
transaction be transferred to the Trust's Custodian in a manner that is intended
to enable the Portfolio to obtain those securities in the event of a
counterparty default. The Investment Adviser monitors the value of the
securities, including accrued interest, daily to ensure that the value of the
collateral equals or exceeds amounts due under the repurchase agreement.
Repurchase agreement transactions involve certain risks in the event of default
or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions
upon the Portfolio's ability to dispose of the underlying securities, and a
possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period
while the Portfolio seeks to assert its rights.
Organization Costs: Each Portfolio bears all costs in connection with its
organization, including the fees and expenses of registering and qualifying its
shares for distribution under Federal and state securities regulations. All
such costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of
five years beginning with the commencement of the Portfolio's operation. The
Investment Adviser incurred all start up costs of the Portfolios except for
Select Capital Appreciation.
Expenses: The Trust accounts separately for assets, liabilities and operations
of each Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a Portfolio are charged to
the Portfolio, while expenses which are attributable to more than one Portfolio
of the Trust are allocated among the respective Portfolios.
Forward Commitments: Each Portfolio may from time to time purchase securities on
a forward commitment basis. Debt securities are often issued on this basis. The
yield of such securities is fixed at the time a commitment to purchase is made,
with actual payment and delivery of the security generally taking place 15 to 45
days later. During the period between purchase and settlement, typically no
payment is made by a Portfolio and no interest accrues to the Portfolio. The
market value of forward commitments may be more or less than the purchase price
payable at settlement date.

Allmerica Investment Management Company, Inc. (the "Manager"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of First Allmerica, serves as Investment Adviser and Administrator to

management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate based
upon the following percentages of average daily net asset value: 1.00% for
Select International Equity, Select Aggressive Growth and Select Capital
Appreciation Funds, 0.85% for Select Growth Fund, 0.75% for Select Growth and
Income Fund and 0.60% for Select Income Fund. For Money Market Fund, the annual
fee is 0.35% on the first $50,000,000 of net assets; 0.25% on the next
$200,000,000; and 0.20% on the remainder.
The Manager has entered into Sub-Adviser Agreements for the management of the
investments of each of the Portfolios. The Manager is solely responsible for the
payment of all fees to the Sub-Advisers.
The Sub-Advisers for each of the Portfolios are as follows:

administrative fee to FDISG. In a separate agreement, FDISG receives separate
fees from the Portfolios for certain fund accounting services provided in its
capacity as pricing and bookkeeping agent.
The Trust pays no salaries or compensation to any of its officers. Trustees who
are not directors, officers, or employees of the Trust or any investment adviser

10. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Each Portfolio, except the Money Market Fund, may purchase securities of foreign
issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not
typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks
include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may
be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of
comparable U.S. issuers.
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Investing in certain financial instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts involves risk other than that reflected in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. Risks associated with these instruments include the potential for
an imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments
and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates, an illiquid
secondary market for the instruments or inability of counterparties to perform
under the terms of the contract, and changes in the value of foreign currency
relative to the U.S. dollar. The Select International Equity Fund and the Select
Capital Appreciation Fund enter into these contracts primarily to protect the
Portfolio from adverse currency movement.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Effective July 1, 1996, Putnam Investments Management, Inc. ("Putnam") replaced
Provident Investment Counsel ("PIC") as the Sub-Adviser of the Select Growth
Fund. A Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and Putnam has been approved
by the Trustees of the Trust, subject to approval of the Portfolio's
shareholders at a meeting to be held September 18, 1996. Putnam will receive
from the Manager a fee computed daily at an annual rate based on the average net
assets of the Portfolio under the same fee schedule as was in effect with PIC.
