A Letter from the Chairman 3
[PHOTO APPEARS HERE]
Dear Client:
1998 marked an unprecedented fourth straight year of returns greater than 20% as
measured by the S&P 500(R) Index.
The final year-end numbers though, mask the high drama investors experienced
during the course of the year. The S&P 500(R) Index had one of its most volatile
years, rising over 20% through June, plummeting 19% during the next two months,
and rallying to record the strongest fourth quarter return since 1926. Even
while the S&P 500(R) Index increased 28.6% for the year, it was driven by a
narrow group of stocks. Fifteen stocks represented half of the gain of the
entire index, while the average stock in the S&P 500(R) increased only 13.9%.
Stocks of smaller companies fared even worse, declining 2.6% as measured by the
Russell 2000 Index.
Overseas markets struggled with their own issues. The European community
prepared to introduce a common currency on January 1, 1999. Russia devalued the
ruble causing a broad decline in many emerging markets, and Japan continued to
struggle with a stubborn recession.
The bond market offered few places to hide. Russia's devaluation spurred fixed
income investors to sell otherwise solid credits and fly to the safety of U.S.
Treasuries. It was only after the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates three
times that investors began buying again and both the U.S. stock and bond markets
rallied.
Some investors wonder why they needed "professional" advise in 1998 when they
could have bought an index fund or a few internet stocks. We feel very strongly
that times change, fads change and ultimately investment returns are driven by
company and industry fundamentals. Our investment managers employ disciplined
investment strategies that have been proven over time. They structure their
portfolios to capture today's opportunities while worrying about tomorrow's
potential decline.
Our manager of managers program is structured to provide formal oversight of
each manager's organization and investment performance. This structure is costly
but we believe it provides a higher level of service to our clients. Results
have been strong and we are proud to report that almost three-quarters of our
investment managers outperformed their peer groups during both 1998 and the
trailing three-year period as measured by Lipper, Inc.
In addition, we continue to look for ways to improve our investment program. In
February, we introduced two new funds to broaden your investment options: Select
Emerging Markets Fund and Select Strategic Growth Fund. In February, the board
voted to hire T. Rowe Price Associates as the new sub-adviser for the Select
Capital Appreciation Fund. For more information on these and all of the funds,
we urge you to read the market overviews and managers' commentaries found later
in this report.
Once again, we urge you to work closely with your financial advisor to build a
diversified portfolio, not only to succeed in good times, but to protect the
value of your assets in bad times.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees,
/s/ John F. O'Brien

Product Performance Summary 7
<PAGE>
1994: Federal Reserve Board raises interest rates six times, stalling equity
markets even while corporate earnings continued to grow.
1995: Favorable economic conditions result in large gains for the U.S. equity
markets. Europe turns in strongest performance of international equity markets.
1996: Despite a volatile marketplace, the U.S. stock market performs well.
Internationally, European countries post the most impressive gains.
1997: Robust economic growth, declining interest rates and low unemployment
produce a third consecutive year of unprecedented gains for the U.S. stock
market.
1998: Worldwide economic problems cause considerable volatility for stocks. Yet,
the market posts its fourth consecutive year of double-digit gains.
1998 proved to be one of the most volatile years for the stock market since the
crash of 1987. Widely expected by many investors to be a cooling off period for
stocks, the past year brought a series of ups and downs -- and double-digit
gains -- to the market. In fact, it proved to be the fourth straight year of
plus-20% returns for the S&P 500(R) Index.
The roller coaster ride for stocks began mid-year as economic turmoil in Asia,
Russia and Latin America resulted in increased investor concern. This turmoil
produced a third quarter of market extremes. In July, the market posted an
all-time high. But August brought a severe correction as investors feared lower
worldwide demand for goods and services would lead to slower earnings growth for
U.S. corporations.
But slower earnings growth proved not to deter investors altogether. While they
fled investments exposed to international market risk, they favored the safety
and predictability of large-company U.S. stocks -- regardless of how vastly
overpriced they seemed.
Once the Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the third time in November,
investors returned to the market in full force. They poured money into a small
group of large-company stocks, sending broad market indexes soaring to another
year of strong performance. In fact, S&P 500(R) performance was dominated
throughout the year by only a few high-powered names such as Microsoft Corp.,
Dell Computer Corp., Intel Corp.
While large-cap gains outpaced both small- and mid-cap stocks and drove overall
market performance, technology led sector performance for the year.
Internet-related stocks, in particular, drove results even higher. Specifically,
companies such as Amazon.com, an on-line book seller and eBay.com, an on-line
auction service, saw their market values explode. Although these Internet stocks
are not included in the S&P 500(R) Index, they helped bolster the entire
technology sector. Investors seemed to feel that any company involved in
computers would benefit from an Internet-driven surge in demand.

Despite the ongoing Asian crisis, stocks benefit from low interest rates and a
steady economy.

8 Domestic & International Equity Market Overview
<PAGE>
Other top-performing industry groups in 1998 were telecommunications which
benefited from merger and acquisition activity, and retailers, which fared well
as a result of strong consumer spending. On the other hand, market laggards were
dominated by oil services, which felt the painful effects of sharply declining
crude oil prices.
On the international front, Europe performed well in 1998, encouraged by the
anticipated monetary union. In fact, Greece's stock market, led all global
performers with a smashing 86% return. Countries such as Italy and Belgium also
performed particularly well in this region.
However, results from emerging market countries weren't as rosy. Currency
concerns plagued Asia for much of 1998. While Japan's stock market went through
a series of ups and downs, countries like Thailand and Korea started taking
serious measures to turn their economies around -- and it definitely made a
difference. South Korea proved to be one of the top-performing countries during
1998.
Russia, however, wasn't so favored. By mid-year, massive economic problems and a
large devaluation in the ruble caused investors to flee Russian stocks and
bonds, sending shock waves throughout the world's financial markets.
As a result of Russia's economic collapse, investors grew more concerned about
what the impact would be on other emerging markets. These worries particularly
affected Brazil, which unlike Russia, managed to keep currency devaluation at
bay thanks to support from the U.S., promises of reform and higher interest
rates. Unfortunately, the higher cost of borrowing stunted economic growth and
sent Brazil's economy into a recession.
Economic problems weren't confined to just Brazil, however. Slumping prices for
crude oil and other commodities curbed economic growth in other parts of Latin
America as well. Because oil prices make up about 70% of the government's
revenue, Venezuela was particularly hard hit. Political concerns also were a
factor here and combined to produce one of the worst-performing markets for the
year.
Currently, uncertainty exists throughout the world's stock markets. In the U.S.,
stable interest rates and low inflation bode well for the stock market, but
slower corporate earnings growth continues to be a concern. In Europe, the
introduction of the Euro, the new single currency for Europe, should benefit the
region. However, slower earnings growth remains a concern. And although Japan
and most of Asia appear to be on the road to economic recovery, great
uncertainty still exists in these markets.
Given the unsettled nature of the global economy, it will be difficult for the
U.S. stock market to continue its four-year string of outstanding returns.

Since inception on February 20, 1998, the Select Emerging Markets Fund returned
- -21.46% versus the -26.36% return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index for
the comparable period.
During the past year, the turmoil in emerging markets continued, spreading to
Russia and Latin America. As problems in these countries grew, investors became
increasingly risk averse and retreated to the safer havens of developed
countries.
Given this backdrop, the Fund's managers maintained a defensive investment
strategy for much of the period. They maintained a modest exposure to the Fund's
holdings in those countries most severely affected by the global financial
crisis, notably Russia and Latin America and raised their level of cash. The
fund benefited from its overweighted position in Korea and emerging Europe.
Although the Fund's assets remained concentrated in high-quality companies with
solid long-term prospects for growth, liquidity concerns drove many markets, as
investors ignored sound stock fundamentals. Holdings as of year-end included
Samsung Electronics, Hellenic Telecom, Telefonos De Mexico, Telecom de Sao
Paulo, and ITC Ltd.
Currently, the fund's largest position is in Korea, which along with Thailand,
are taking the necessary steps to turn their economies around.
While the outlook for many emerging markets has improved, there remain a number
of concerns that management believes warrant a fairly defensive stance. Yet, in
the absence of a global recession the manager believes emerging markets could
return to favor.

With a total return of 10.56% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998,
the Select Aggressive Growth Fund outpaced the 0.38% return of the Russell 2500
Index for the same period.
Although large-cap stocks drove market performance overall, both small- and
mid-cap holdings performed well for the Fund in 1998.
Several reasons accounted for the Fund's favorable results. First, superior
stock selection in the technology, consumer services and retail trade sectors
boosted performance. Not only did Fund holdings such as Dell Computer Corp., EMC
Corp., and Best Buy, Inc. all deliver triple-digit returns, but the sharp price
appreciation in internet-related stocks, such as Yahoo, Inc. also enhanced
returns.
During the past year, the Fund's managers also held fewer investments relative
to the benchmark in out-of-favor market sectors. While the Russell 2500 Index
held an average weighting of 18% and 14% in financial services and
producer/manufacturing, respectively, the Fund's managers chose to hold an
average weighting of just 5% and 9% in these sectors. As a result, the Fund
garnered additional results.
Entering 1999, the Fund's managers have a positive outlook on many sectors,
including commercial/industrial, consumer durables, consumer non-durables,
health care services, retail trade and technology.
Despite concerns about deflation and earnings growth, the managers are
optimistic about the small- and mid-cap markets. They also caution that given
the slowdown in worldwide growth, investors should anticipate more moderate
returns in the future.

The Select Capital Appreciation Fund returned 13.88% for the one-year period
ended December 31, 1998, surpassing the 0.38% total return of the Russell 2500
Index for the same period.
During 1998, strong sector performance accounted for positive returns for the
Fund. Some of the best performers were in the health care and technology
sectors. In health care, top contributors included Gilead Sciences, a leading
developer of anti-viral products, and Biogen, which experienced strong sales of
Avonex, its multiple sclerosis treatment drug. Leading performers in technology
included Netscape Communica-tions Corporation, a leading internet company and
America Online, which benefited from "Internet mania" as it announced plans to
merge with Netscape.
Detracting from performance was Corporate Express, a distributor of
office-related products, which suffered from various operational issues.
While portfolio construction remained fairly consistent throughout the year, the
Fund's managers added positions in the consumer sector and modestly increased
holdings in technology, which were slightly underweighted.
Small- and mid-cap stocks are trading at historically low levels even though
many of them are expected to have faster growing earnings than some of the
large, blue-chip companies.
Heading into 1999, the managers feel the Fund is well-positioned for the
long-term. They will continue to build a diversified portfolio of mid-cap growth
stocks, which should fare well when this market segment returns to favor.

With a total return of 4.87% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998,
the Select Value Opportunity Fund outpaced the 0.38% return of the Russell 2500
Index for the same period.
During 1998, not only did the disparity between large-cap and small-cap
performance grow larger, growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks
despite ever expanding P/E ratios.
Unfortunately, these were not ideal conditions for this Fund, which primarily
focuses on small- and mid-cap value stocks.
From a sector standpoint, the Fund missed out on several opportunities. Up
18.85% for the year, the technology sector proved to be the market's top
performer. Unfortunately, the Fund had a modest exposure to this sector
relative to the benchmark, 3% versus 13.78%, which restrained performance.
The most disappointing performance for the year was posted by the energy sector.
Negatively affected by plunging oil prices, which dropped to 12-year lows,
energy was off almost 50% for the year. Being overweighted in this small sector
did not help results.
On a brighter note, the Fund captured positive performance from several of its
key holdings, most notably Cincinnati Bell, Fred Meyer, Wellpoint Health
Networks and Raychem Corp.
Looking forward, the Fund's manager remains optimistic with regard to small- and
mid-cap value investing. The manager recently added positions in Dole, HCR Manor
Care, CIT Group and Healthsouth and continues to seek solid companies selling at
attractive prices.

For the one-year period ended December 31, 1998, the Select International Equity
Fund returned 16.48% versus the 20.33% return of the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index.
During 1998, the Growth in Telecommunications theme outperformed all other
themes for the Fund. Both the growth in the mobile phone market and the
privatization of Europe's telecommunications companies contributed to its
strength. New partnerships also fueled the market as companies such as
Mannesmann of Germany and Olivetti of Italy teamed up to provide international
phone service.
Holdings in Vodaphone also benefited from announced links with Lucent
Technologies to market wireless technology.
The Healthcare Needs theme also added results. In response to the market
turbulence in the third quarter, investors sought the stable earnings of
pharmaceutical stocks. As a result, holdings such as Glaxo Wellcome and Hoechst
made particularly strong contributions to the portfolio.
British American Tobacco was a top performer in the Leading Consumer Franchise
theme. These shares were bolstered by news of the successful spin-off of Allied
Zurich, its financial services business, and favorable news about U.S.
litigation.
On the downside, stocks in the Infrastructural Development, Technological
Innovation and Expanding Financial Services in Developing Markets themes were
the poorest performers due to their significant exposure to the Far East.
Looking ahead, the Fund's managers plan to concentrate on European stocks that
they believe will prosper in the new single currency environment as well as
selected companies in Japan.

With a total return of 12.75% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998,
the Fidelity VIP* Overseas Portfolio trailed the 20.33% total return of the
Morgan Stanley EAFE Index for the same period.
During 1998, several country allocation and stock selection factors contributed
to the Portfolio's underperformance. First, an underweighted exposure to the
strong-performing stock markets of Germany, Italy and Belgium negatively
impacted results.
The Portfolio's energy holdings also detracted from performance. Holdings of Elf
Aquitaine and Total were hurt by declining crude oil prices. And, the
Portfolio's cash holdings, which averaged about 6% during the year, proved to be
a drag on total results.
On the plus side, the Portfolio was helped by underweighted positions in Japan
and Hong Kong, where the Asian crisis continued. It also benefited from an
overweighting in the French and Finnish stock markets which both performed well
for the year.
Telecommunications and electronics company holdings, such as Philips Electronics
and Alcatel, were solid performers for the Portfolio as both rebounded from
depressed third quarter results. And investor preferences for pharmaceutical
stocks, fueled holdings of Novartis and Smithkline Beecham, which also
contributed favorable results.
The Portfolio continues to maintain underweighted positions in the U.K., Germany
and Japan and overweighted positions in France and The Netherlands. At year end,
the portfolio also favored the financial services, utilities, health care and
energy sectors.

For the one-year period ended December 31, 1998, the T. Rowe Price International
Stock Portfolio posted a 15.86% total return, somewhat behind the 20.33% return
of the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index for the same period.
During 1998, country allocation slightly detracted from performance. Although a
modest exposure to Japan and Asia added value, these gains were offset by the
Portfolio's position in Latin America. This area suffered as currencies weakened
from "Asian Contagion" -- and proved to be the weakest performing international
region for the year. The Portfolio's overweighting in Norway, which was
particularly sensitive to declining oil prices late in the year, also lowered
returns.
On a positive note, the Portfolio captured results from good stock selection. In
Europe which was the best-performing region, holdings in the Netherlands,
Belgium and France were successful. Japanese holdings also contributed returns
as investor confidence returned to this area of the world.
Looking ahead, the Portfolio's managers are enthusiastic about prospects for
Europe and remain cautious about investing in the Pacific Rim and Japan. They
plan to continue to seek businesses that have the management, products and sound
finances to support sustainable growth. They also feel Latin America still
offers opportunity -- as long as Brazil's currency problems are carefully
managed.
More importantly, the Portfolio's management feels investor confidence has
returned to global markets. They feel that this renewed confidence, healthy
economic growth in Europe and improving prospects in Asia, are positive signs
for international equity markets in 1999.

For the one-year period ended December 31, 1998, the DGPF* International Equity
Series returned 10.33%, falling short of the 20.33% total return of the Morgan
Stanley EAFE Index for the same period.
Given the turmoil of the international stock market in 1998, the Series'
managers took steps to lessen the effect of volatility on the portfolio. They
primarily focused on investments in the established markets of Western Europe
and underweighted the Series' allocation to Asian countries relative to the EAFE
Index. They also avoided Russia and Latin America altogether.
Unfortunately, these moves caused the Series to miss some favorable returns. For
example, because the managers were concerned that economic recovery in some Asia
countries would be short-lived, the Series did not benefit from the strong price
appreciation in such countries as Thailand and South Korea, two of 1998's best
performing markets.
A significant portion of the Series' holdings were also invested in the United
Kingdom, which lagged other Western European countries.
Due to a stagnant economy, these stocks did not perform as well as those of
France, Germany and Spain, which all contributed positive results.
Looking ahead, the managers plan to focus on established countries. They believe
lower interest rates and the introduction of the Euro could bode well for
European stocks, although uncertainty surrounds the Euro's potential success.
While they also believe economic recovery is possible in Japan, they continue to
underweight that country.

For the one-year period ended December 31, 1998, the Fidelity VIP* Growth
Portfolio posted a 39.49% total return, significantly outpacing the 28.58%
return of the S&P 500(R) Index for the same period.
During 1998, astute stock selection and solid sector allocation contributed to
the Portfolio's stellar returns.
Stock selection in general focused on large-cap companies with
better-than-average earnings growth potential and discounted valuations relative
to the stock market.
Throughout the year, the managers particularly favored companies in the strong-
performing technology, retail, finance, media and leisure and utility sectors.
Most notably benefiting performance for the Portfolio were holdings of
Microsoft, Intel and Cisco Systems.
Good sector allocation also contributed to the Portfolio's gains as the managers
chose to overweight technology, retail and drug stocks which were among the
year's market leaders, and underweighted weak-performing financial and cyclical
stocks.
In contrast, the Portfolio's holdings in energy and oil service companies, which
were affected by declining crude oil prices, reduced performance for the year.
Currently, the Portfolio's assets remain almost fully invested with a small cash
position. The managers continue to overweight the technology, retail and media,
and leisure sectors. They also continue to emphasize multi-national
pharmaceutical stocks due to their strong fundamentals.

The Select Growth Fund posted a total return of 35.44% for the one-year period
ended December 31, 1998, significantly outpacing the 28.58% of the S&P 500(R)
Index for the same period.
Although holdings in the finance sector dragged down returns in the third
quarter, the portfolio rebounded later in the year. This came as a result of its
relatively large exposure to the surging technology area where the Fund's
managers focused on software and PC companies. As a result, the Fund handily
outperformed the index. For most of 1998, the Fund fared well and benefited from
strong performance in large-cap technology growth stocks. Positive results also
came from overweighting health care and consumer cyclicals, the year's other
top-performing sectors. In health care, the managers emphasized major
pharmaceutical companies. In consumer cyclicals, they held significant positions
in major retailers, which proved to be particularly robust in the fourth
quarter.
Currently, the Fund remains overweighted in consumer cyclicals, health care and
technology, and underweighted in sectors where earnings growth is less evident,
such as energy, utilities and basic industry.
Going forward, the Fund's managers believe that the market will remain highly
volatile given the unsettled nature of the global economy. To cushion the
portfolio from the effects of this potential volatility, they plan to maintain
their disciplined approach to stock selection.

Since inception on February 20, 1998, the Select Strategic Growth Fund posted a
return of -2.47%, significantly underperforming the 20.39% return of the S&P
500(R) Index for the comparable period.
The disappointing results occurred between April and August and stemmed from a
variety of factors. First, the Fund was hindered by its heavy exposure to
mid-cap stocks.
Although the investment philosophy of the Fund doesn't stress one particular
capitalization group over another, mid-cap stocks overall seemed to meet the
investment criteria of the Fund and thus offer greater value. Unfortunately, the
market continued to favor large-cap stocks, or more specifically "mega-cap"
stocks, as it has for the past few years.
The Fund's concentration in more value-oriented issues also stymied performance.
This was primarily because the market preferred pure growth stocks -- despite
their typically high valuations.
Also negatively impacting performance was the portfolio's exposure to energy.
Although the Fund's managers only held a 7.5% position in these stocks,
weakening oil prices late in the year hindered overall performance. In addition,
higher than normal cash positions in the Fund also caused a drag on performance
as the managers adopted a "wait and see" approach rather than pay high prices
for stocks that had rapidly appreciated.
The Fund's managers were encouraged by the recent broadening of performance
across all market capitalization ranges and believe that as the market returns
to a more disciplined view of stock valuations, it will bode well for both
small- and mid-cap stocks -- as well as the Fund.

With a total return of 19.32% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998,
the Growth Fund trailed the 28.58% return of the S&P 500(R) Index for the same
period.
During the past year, the stock market confounded many experts by acting
contrary to long-held investment principles. It favored mega-sized companies,
overvalued growth stocks, and high-priced consumer staple stocks over
defensively priced cyclicals, and issues with high, instead of low, P/E ratios.
In addition to these factors, sector selection accounted for some missed results
as the Fund was underweighted in retail, one of the strongest performing
sectors, yet overweighted in basic resources and consumer durables, two poorly
performing sectors.
To better position the Fund, the managers gradually shifted the portfolio
balance from more value-oriented stocks to more growth-oriented. This shift was
achieved by steadily reducing positions in economically sensitive sector stocks
and reallocating resources into other sectors.
Financials, utilities and health care were increased. Technology holdings were
also increased to a large sector weighting in the portfolio. As a result, the
portfolio outperformed the S&P 500(R) Index during the fourth quarter -- the
strongest fourth calendar quarter since 1926.
Looking ahead, the Fund's managers see mixed signals for domestic equities but
believe their broadly diversified portfolio is well-positioned for investors.

For the one-year period ended December 31, 1998, the Equity Index Fund reported
a total return of 28.33% essentially matching the 28.58% return of the S&P
500(R) Index for the same period.
During 1998, the S&P 500(R) Index enjoyed a stellar year of performance. More
significantly, it posted a greater than 20% return -- for the fourth year in a
row. This was in spite of a volatile third quarter marked by a global financial
crisis, particularly in Russia, and the Long Term Capital debacle which erased
many of the year-to-date gains at the time, temporarily.
Fueled by several credit-easing moves taken by the Federal Reserve later in the
year, the market rebounded. Led by companies associated with the Internet,
particularly E-commerce companies, the market was further catapulted by the
prospect of more shoppers migrating to virtual stores.
In addition, specific company performance added to overall market gains. During
the year, Microsoft and General Electric proved to be the largest contributors
while traditional cyclical stocks such as Dupont and Caterpillar finished 1998
among the market's laggards.
Other companies detracting from results were Schlumberger, an oil field service
company which suffered from declining oil prices, and Citigroup, the result of
this year's merger between Travelers and Citibank.
In keeping with the Fund's investment objective, the managers will continue to
seek to mirror the returns of the S&P 500(R) Index and adjust the portfolio's
holdings accordingly.

For the one-year period ended December 31, 1998, the Select Growth and Income
Fund posted a 16.43% total return, trailing the 28.58% return of the S&P 500(R)
Index for the same period.
During 1998, the Fund lagged the market primarily due to its focus on value
stocks. The Russell 1000 Value Index, for example, returned only 15.63% for the
year. Of some frustration was the fact that the Fund underperformed despite
extended periods of strong performance. And it underperformed during weak
periods in the market, which had traditionally provided the Fund with its best
returns.
During 1998, the market continued to be driven by a narrow group of high-priced
growth stocks. For example, 100 stocks accounted for 85% of the S&P 500(R) Index
returns. Given this activity, the Fund's managers found it challenging to
outperform while emphasizing value-oriented investing, capital preservation and
risk control in the portfolio.
Nonetheless, the Fund managed to garner positive results, particularly in the
fourth quarter. A number of holdings helped the Fund keep pace with the market's
advance, including Texas Instruments, Bank of New York, IBM, Chancellor Media,
United Technologies and First Data Corp.
Moving into 1999, the Fund's managers plan to continue emphasizing
strong-performing companies, which are currently out of favor but exhibit
excellent values. They further believe that over time these types of issues
should lead to outperformance relative to the risk.

The Fidelity VIP* Equity-Income Portfolio posted an 11.63% total return for the
one-year period ended December 31, 1998, underperforming the 28.58% return of
the S&P 500(R) Index for the same period.
Throughout 1998, sector allocation decisions contributed to the Portfolio's
underperformance. It was overweighted in the Finance sector, which suffered as
investors grew concerned about the potential impact of the market's third
quarter sell-off on financial service companies' earnings. Nonetheless, the
Portfolio managed to garner positive returns from several holdings, including
America Express, Bank of New York and Fannie Mae.
Portfolio performance was also held back by its less-than-market weight in the
technology sector, the best performing sector of the U.S. equity market in 1998.
It was also negatively impacted by its overweighted position in energy, one of
the year's worst performers.
An underweighted position in the health sector also restrained Portfolio
performance. As investors favored companies whose earnings would be less
dependent on a vibrant economy, health stocks fared well. And although the
Portfolio benefited from its position in American Home Products, the
underweighted position in this sector hindered results.
Entering the first quarter of 1999, the Portfolio's managers continue to seek
reasonable income by investing in income-producing equity securities. Given this
objective, they maintain an emphasis on finance and utility stocks and also
favor the technology, energy and non-durable sectors.

24 The Fidelity VIP* Equity-Income Portfolio
<PAGE>
For the one-year period ended December 31, 1998, the Fidelity VIP* II Asset
Manager Portfolio returned 15.05%, trailing the 28.58% return of the S&P 500(R)
Index for the same period.
During the year, the biggest detractor to the Portfolio's equity performance was
stock selection in technology, services, energy and health care services. The
Portfolio's holdings in energy services detracted from results due to weakening
oil prices late in the year.
In fixed income, the Portfolio's overweighted position in corporate and high
yield bonds also detracted from performance. This exposure was a drag on results
as both corporate and high-yield bonds were weak performers in the U.S. bond
market. The Portfolio also suffered from its underweighting in U.S. Treasuries
which benefited from a low inflation environment and investors' flight to
quality during the year.
The Portfolio, however, garnered positive performance from stock selection
within the utilities sector. Its position in MCI Worldcom boosted results
because of expectations that the merger between MCI and Worldcom would generate
revenue growth and cost-cutting opportunities. Results were also aided by
overweighting the strong performing retail/wholesale sector, which benefited
from strong consumer spending.
At the end of the year, the Portfolio was overweighted in equities,
underweighted in bonds and neutral in cash. The Portfolio's managers have
reduced holdings in finance and basic industries and increased holdings in
technology, retail and energy.

1994: Federal Reserve Board raises interest rates six times in an effort to slow

During 1998, bond investments produced widely divergent results as they
experienced a series of dramatic swings that left them either highly in favor or
badly battered.
Starting off 1998, investors sought more attractive yields by investing in all
types of riskier bonds. But as global markets experienced continued volatility
- -- most notably in Russia, Latin America and Asia -- investors fled these
riskier investments and, by late summer, favored U.S. Treasury bonds.
But what was a boon for Treasuries was not at all good for non-government
issues. The Russian currency crisis, President Clinton's problems, and concerns
about Japan's economy all caused non-government issues to deteriorate by August.
Further aggravated by the collapse of the highly leveraged Long-Term Capital
Management, this segment, particularly corporate and high-yield bonds, suffered.
Because investors stayed away from these types of securities, the corporate new
issues market dried up. In fact, fewer investment grade and high-yield bonds
were sold in August and September combined than in the month of July.
However, a year-end rally was sparked by a series of three 0.25% interest rate
cuts by the Federal Reserve. These moves not only pushed the Federal Funds Rates
down to 4.75%, they spurred bond investors to leave the safety of U.S.
Treasuries and return to those securities which had the potential to offer them
higher yields.
Given this environment, safer credits generally fared much better for the year
than those bonds which had more risk attached to them.
Finishing the year on top, U.S. Treasuries significantly outpaced all other
sectors of the bond market for the first time in almost a decade -- with the
30-year bond posting a total return of 17.10% for the year. By comparison, the

26 Bond & Money Market Overview
<PAGE>
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a benchmark commonly used for all types of bonds,
returned only 8.67%.
In contrast, 1998 will also be remembered as the worst year for corporate bonds.
Investment grade corporates trailed comparable duration Treasuries by 2.27% for
the year. Much of the underperformance occurred from late August to mid October
as liquidity, rather than credit, concerns drove the unprecedented spread
widening. However, a two-tiered market still exists for corporate credits.
Benchmark names such as IBM, Ford and Worldcom trade with little or no liquidity
concession, while second-tier names command a much larger liquidity premium.
While it was a year of turmoil for investment grade corporate bonds, it proved
to be disastrous for high-yield corporates, which lagged BBB or higher rated
bonds by nearly five percentage points. Suffering the most from the year's
volatility, lower-rated high-yield issues finished last for 1998 with a meager
3.66% total return, as measured by the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index.
Reflecting the market in general, mortgage-backed securities also had a
tumultuous year. Early in the year, this sector struggled with fears of
prepayments as interest rates dipped to historic lows. Even so, these securities
managed to modestly outperform Treasuries for the first half of the year. Then,
the same liquidity concerns that troubled corporate bonds later in the year also
severely affected mortgage-backeds. As a result, this sector posted a total
return of 7.20% for the year.
Results in the money market also mirrored the overall turbulence occurring in
the bond market. While yields hovered around 5.00% before the interest rate cuts
taken by the Federal Reserve, yields on the average one-year CD fell from 4.87%
to 4.16% by year-end.
Diminishing returns, however, did not seem to sway investors. Money funds in
general posted record inflows of cash as investors sought shelter from market
volatility and parked their assets in the relative safety of money market funds.
Moving into 1999, volatility remains on the horizon for the U.S. bond market.
However, given low inflation and low interest rates, government and high-grade
corporates could appeal to investors looking for safe havens from riskier
alternatives. In addition, slower corporate earnings could restrain the stock
market in the coming year, helping to narrow the performance gap between
equities and fixed income investments.

The Fidelity VIP* High Income Portfolio returned -4.33% for the one-year period
ended December 31, 1998 trailing the 3.66% total return of the Merrill Lynch
High Yield Master for the same period.
Throughout 1998, the high yield market experienced a great degree of volatility.
In addition, a large supply of new issues in the telecommunications sector
caused prices to fall for all securities in this sector. Despite solid long-term
fundamentals of individual issues, the Portfolio's substantial position in
selected competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), cellular, and
long-distance companies was negatively impacted by this influx of new issues.
In the second half of 1998, the high yield market experienced its worst sell-off
since 1990 as investors fled all types of spread fixed income investments in
favor of U.S. Treasuries. This dramatic sell-off not only dragged down the
telecommunications sector, it also pummeled the B-rated holdings in the
portfolio. Non-cash pay securities and preferred and common equity holdings were
also negatively impacted by the volatility.
On the brighter side, the Portfolio benefited from its lack of cyclical,
commodity and gaming industries as companies in these sectors were hampered by
the significant economic slowdown in both Asian and emerging markets.
Given the recent volatility, the manager is actively looking to add higher
quality issues to the Portfolio.

Select Income Fund
The Select Income Fund returned 6.83% for the one-year period ended December 31,
1998, lagging the 8.67% total return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
for the same period.
Entering 1998, the Fund's portfolio seemed to be poised for favorable results.
The managers held a greater than usual amount of U.S. Treasuries, which proved
to be the best-performing bonds for the year. They also sold off any corporate
bonds from the portfolio that seemed too vulnerable to international market
risk. And they held fewer government/agency mortgages.
Despite these moves, several factors prevented the Fund from keeping up with its
benchmark. The managers underestimated the flight to quality, spurred by
financial troubles in Russia and Japan, and the stifling effect the Long-Term
Capital Management collapse had on domestic non-Treasuries.
As a result, the Fund's holdings in corporates offset the positive gains
generated by its Treasury and mortgage holdings. Despite strong credit quality,
the Fund's positions in the Financial sector, specifically REITs, non-bank
financial and allied companies, combined to drag down performance.
In looking ahead, the Fund's managers maintain a cautious outlook regarding the
U.S. economy and international markets. To garner results, they've recently
added more corporate bonds and mortgages to the portfolio as they believe these
sectors are fundamentally sound and attractively priced despite lingering fears
and uncertainty in the bond market.

For the one-year period ended December 31,1998, the Investment Grade Income Fund
posted a total return of 7.97% compared to the 8.67% return of the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the same period.
1998 proved to be a disappointing year for both corporate bond and
mortgage-backed securities (MBS) performance. Much of the deterioration occurred
between late-August and mid-October as a global financial crisis developed and
investors fled to safety and liquidity in the form of super-safe U.S.
Treasuries. Unfortunately, this Fund had a significant portion of its assets
allocated to the corporate sector -- and to lower-quality credits.
However, two factors mitigated some of the underperformance. The Fund maintained
a heavy weighting in the Media and Telecommunications sector, a top-performing
sector of the Investment Grade corporate bond market for the year. And it also
held such blue-chip names as IBM and Worldcom, which were two investor favorites
throughout the year.
As with the corporate bond market, liquidity concerns caused mortgage-backed
securities to suffer during the second half of the year. The Fund's managers,
however, maintained their position in these securities as Treasury yields
started to rise and the threat of massive prepayments subsided.
Moving into the new year, the Fund's managers expect to retain their current
positions in corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities and have noted that
trading and pricing in the bond market has returned to more normal levels.

Government Bond Fund
For the one-year period ended December 31, 1998, the Government Bond Fund turned
in a 7.67% total return, less than the 8.49% return of the Lehman Intermediate
Government Bond Index for the same period.
During 1998, turmoil in worldwide markets caused investors to retreat from
riskier investments to super-safe U.S. Treasury bonds. As further economic
crises surfaced late in the year, particularly in Latin America and Russia, the
Federal Reserve cut interest rates to ease the possibility of a domestic credit
crunch. Investors then sold off their Treasuries in favor of the higher yields
they could gain from riskier investment alternatives.
In response to these changing market conditions, the Fund's managers adjusted
the Fund's holdings throughout the year. First, they substantially trimmed the
portfolio's exposure to mortgage-backed securities to protect against prepayment
risk. And to take advantage of lower prices, the Fund's managers doubled the
Fund's exposure to agency securities as spreads became increasingly more
attractive. They also reduced holdings in asset backed securities from 12% to
8%, which they plan to add to if spreads grow wider.
Looking ahead, the Fund's managers believe interest rates will remain at or near
current levels. Given this outlook, they feel the Fund is well-positioned for
favorable results.

The Money Market Fund reported a 5.51% total return for the one-year period
ended December 31, 1998, outpacing the 4.96% return of the IBC/Donoghue First
Tier Money Market Index for the same period.
During 1998, the U.S. economy showed surprising strength in the face of extreme
volatility in world financial markets. The Asian currency crisis spread to Latin
America and Russia, spurring a worldwide sell-off of riskier assets and forcing
highly leveraged trading firms, like Long Term Capital Management, to liquidate
positions as the value of their holdings fell.
To alleviate a potential credit crunch, the Federal Reserve cut the Federal
Funds rate three separate times, and yields on money market funds plummeted
causing securities prices to rise. This helped the Fund's performance as the
portfolio was well-positioned with longer maturing money market securities
averaging 77 days.
After the Fed's moves, the Fund's managers lowered the Fund's average weighted
maturity to 62 days to better position the Fund to garner returns when interest
rates start back up.
The Fund's managers also maintained core long-term holdings of (5-7 month)
commercial paper and certificates of deposits and kept a combination of floating
rate notes. In addition, they laddered maturity dates and short-term repurchase
agreements to provide maximum liquidity without sacrificing yield.
Entering a new year, the Fund's managers believe the Federal Reserve will
maintain a neutral monetary policy in the near future.

Allmerica Investment Trust
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
Allmerica Investment Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), 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 ("Allmerica Financial"), 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 fourteen
managed investment portfolios. The accompanying financial statements and
financial highlights are those of the Select Emerging Markets, Select Aggressive
Growth, Select Capital Appreciation, Select Value Opportunity, Select
International Equity, Select Growth, Select Strategic Growth, Growth, Equity
Index, Select Growth and Income, Select Income, Investment Grade Income,
Government Bond and Money Market Funds (individually, a "Portfolio,"
collectively, the "Portfolios").
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 and 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 that day, at the mean of the closing
bid and asked 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 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 fair
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 1940 Act. 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 Emerging Markets, Select Capital
Appreciation, Select International Equity, and Select Income Funds may enter
into forward foreign currency contracts whereby the Portfolios agree to exchange
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. Receivables and payables of forward foreign currency
contracts are presented on a net basis in the Statements 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 the settlement date.
The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the Portfolios, but it does establish a rate of
exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency
contracts used for hedging purposes limit the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might
result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolios
could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to
meet the terms of their contracts.
Foreign Currency Translation: Investment valuations, other assets and
liabilities 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
F-58
<PAGE>
Allmerica Investment Trust
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, including
amortization of premium and accretion of discount on securities, is accrued
daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain
dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Portfolios are
informed of the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes: The Trust treats each Portfolio as a separate entity for
Federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends 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.
Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared
and reinvested daily for the Money Market Fund, declared and distributed
quarterly for the Growth, Select Growth and Income, Equity Index, Investment
Grade Income, Select Income and Government Bond Funds, and annually for the
Select Emerging Markets, Select Aggressive Growth, Select Capital Appreciation,
Select Value Opportunity, Select International Equity, Select Growth, and Select
Strategic 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 and forwards,
including "Post-October Losses" 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.
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 for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
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.
Futures Contracts: All Portfolios, except the Money Market Fund, may enter into
futures contracts for the delayed delivery of securities at a fixed price at
some future date or the change in value of a specified financial index over a
predetermined time period. Cash or securities are deposited with brokers in
order to establish and maintain a position. Subsequent payments made or received
by the Portfolio based on the daily change in the market value of the position
are recorded as unrealized gain or loss until the contract is closed out, at
which time the gain or loss is realized.
Organization Costs: For the Select Capital Appreciation Fund, costs incurred in
connection with its organization, including the fees and expenses of registering
and qualifying its shares for distribution under applicable securities
regulations were capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of five years beginning with the commencement of the
Portfolio's operation.
Securities Lending: Each Portfolio, using Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers
Trust") as their agent, may loan securities to brokers who pay the Portfolio
negotiated lenders' fees. These fees are disclosed as "securities lending
income" on the Statements of Operations. Each applicable Portfolio receives
obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, cash and /or cash
equivalents and/or letters of credit as collateral against the loaned
securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of
F-59
<PAGE>
Allmerica Investment Trust
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This
collateral must be maintained at not less than 102% of the market value of the
loaned securities during the period of the loan. Information regarding the value
of the securities loaned and the value of collateral at period end is included
under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable Portfolio's
schedule of investments.
Each Portfolio pays Bankers Trust fees for its services from the securities
lending program. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Select Aggressive
Growth Fund and Select International Equity Fund paid Bankers Trust $99,827 and
$35,923, respectively.
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: The Select Capital Appreciation Fund, Select Income Fund,
Investment Grade Income Fund, Government Bond Fund and Money Market Fund may
enter into contracts to purchase securities for a fixed price at a specified
future date beyond customary settlement time ("forward commitments"). If the
Portfolios do so, they will maintain cash or other liquid obligations having a
value in an amount at all times sufficient to meet the purchase price. Forward
commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased
declines prior to the settlement date. Although the Portfolios generally will
enter into forward commitments with the intention of acquiring the securities
for their portfolio, they may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if
their Sub-Adviser deems it appropriate to do so.
Repurchase Agreements: Each Portfolio may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions with institutions that the Sub-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.
3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION
AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Allmerica Financial Investment Management Services, Inc. (the "Manager"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Allmerica, serves as Investment Adviser and

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
are reimbursed for their travel expenses in attending meetings of the Trustees,
and receive quarterly meeting and retainer fees for their services. Such amounts
are paid by the Trust.
4. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES AND WAIVER OF FEES
In the event normal operating expenses of each Portfolio, except for the Select
Emerging Markets Fund, excluding taxes, interest, broker commissions and
extraordinary expenses, but including the advisory fee, exceed certain voluntary
expense limitations by a percentage of average net assets (Select Aggressive
Growth Fund - 1.35%, Select Capital Appreciation Fund - 1.35%, Select Value
Opportunity Fund - 1.25%, Select International Equity Fund - 1.50%, Select
Growth Fund - 1.20%, Select Strategic Growth Fund - 1.20%, Growth Fund - 1.20%,
Equity Index Fund - 0.60%, Select Growth and Income Fund - 1.10%, Select Income
Fund - 1.00%, Investment Grade Income Fund - 1.00%, Government Bond Fund - 1.00%
and Money Market Fund - 0.60%), the Manager will voluntarily reimburse fees and
any expenses in excess of the expense limitations. Expense limitations may be
removed or revised at any time after a Portfolio's first fiscal year of
operations without prior notice to existing shareholders. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, the operating expenses of the Select Strategic Growth Fund
exceeded the amount of its expense limitations by $36,978.
The Manager voluntarily has agreed until further notice to waive its management
fee in the event that expenses of the Select Emerging Markets Fund exceed 2.00%
of the Fund's average daily net assets. The amount of such waiver will be
limited to the net amount of management fees earned by the Manager from the Fund
after subtracting the fees paid by the Manager to SCMI for sub-advisory
services. The Manager has also voluntarily agreed to limit its management fee
from the Select Value Oppportunity Fund to an annual rate of 0.90% of average
daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 1998, management fees waived
with respect to the Select Emerging Markets and the Select Value Opportunity
Funds amounted to $58,518 and $32,482, respectively.
5. REDUCTION OF EXPENSES
Certain Portfolios have entered into agreements with brokers whereby the brokers
will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. Such amounts earned by the
Portfolios, under such agreements, are presented as a reduction of expenses in
the Statements of Operations.
6. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Trust's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Trustees to issue an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest for the Portfolios, each without a par
value. At December 31, 1998, First Allmerica owned 20,035,734 shares of Select
Emerging Markets and 5,011,839 of Select Strategic Growth. During the year ended
December 31, 1998, First Allmerica redeemed 5,112,597 shares of Select Capital
Appreciation, 5,231,487 shares of Select International Equity, and 6,353,213
shares of Equity Index.
7. FOREIGN SECURITIES AND EMERGING MARKETS
All Portfolios, except the Government Bond Fund, may purchase securities of
foreign issuers. The Money Market Fund may invest in only U.S. dollar
denominated foreign securities. Investing in foreign securities 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.
Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not
typically associated with investing in the developed markets. These risks
include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation
restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid,
subject to government ownership controls, subject to delayed settlements, and
their prices more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United
States.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Investing in certain financial instruments including futures and options
transactions, and forward foreign currency contracts involves risk other than
that reflected in the Statements 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
contracts, and changes in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S.
dollar. The Select Emerging Markets Fund, the Select International Equity Fund,
the Select Income Fund and the Select Capital Appreciation Fund may enter into
these forward contracts primarily to protect the Portfolio from adverse currency
movement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Allmerica Investment Trust
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments (except for Moody's and S&P 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
the Select Emerging Markets Fund, Select Aggressive Growth Fund, Select Capital
Appreciation Fund, Select Value Opportunity Fund, Select International Equity
Fund, Select Growth Fund, Select Strategic Growth Fund, Growth Fund, Equity
Index Fund, Select Growth and Income Fund, Select Income Fund, Investment Grade
Income Fund, Government Bond Fund and Money Market Fund, (constituting the
Allmerica Investment Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at December
31, 1998, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of 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 investments at
December 31, 1998 by correspondence with the custodian 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.

Year 2000 (unaudited): Some computer software cannot distinguish between dates
in the year 2000 and dates in the year 1900 because of the way that dates are
encoded and calculated. The services provided to the Trust by the Manager, Sub-
Advisers, Custodian and other external service providers depend on the proper
functioning of their computer software. Failure to correct or replace any non-
compliant software could adversely affect, among other things, the handling of
securities trades, the payment of interest and dividends, the pricing of the
Trust's securities and of the Trust's shares, and account services. The Trust
has requested information from its service providers with respect to their plans
to be Year 2000 compliant. The Trust has been advised by its service providers
that they either are Year 2000 compliant now or expect to be compliant prior to
December 31, 1999. However, there can be no guarantee that the Trust's
operations will not be adversely affected by non-compliant computer systems of
its service providers or other third parties which interact with such service
