Annual Report
December 31, 1995

MARKET CONDITIONS

1995 was a banner year for the U.S. financial markets.  The Dow Jones Industrial
Average rose above 5,000, while the S&P 500 index advanced by more than 37%.
The bond market was stimulated by a near 2% drop in long-term rates and the
Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, a broad based bond market index posted over an 18%
return.

The rally in the bond market was prompted by last year's tightening by the
Federal Reserve, which slowed economic growth while keeping inflation low.  At
the start of the year, inflation was in the 4%-4.5% range and market watchers
anticipated that it would fall to 3.5% by year-end.  Instead, we are moving
toward 1996 with inflation at a relatively stable 2.5% level.

This shift caused the 30-year bond yield to drop from approximately 8% to 6%
during 1995- a significant drop for a 12-month period.  The combination of a
benign inflation outlook and lower interest rates led to excellent performance
in all sectors of the fixed-income market.

In 1995, the bond market was also encouraged by the increasing prospects of
decreasing or even eliminating the Federal budget deficit.  Although the budget
debate continues, an agreement is expected and would be extremely important as a
step toward substantial progress in cutting the budget, even if more ambitious
Republican plans are not met.

Falling interest rates, low inflation and good corporate earnings created a
near-ideal environment for stocks in 1995.  The strongest areas of the stock
market were technology, which benefited from very rapid industry growth;
financial services, which benefited from the drop in rates; and health care,
which benefited from the failure of reform legislation.

The surprise in the stock market this year was that, in a market environment
with little power to raise prices and tepid sales growth, corporations continued
to expand margins and record good profits.  The excellent performance of the S&P
500 was driven by larger capitalization, blue chip stocks; which advanced well
ahead of the general market.  Indices like the Russell 2000, which represent
smaller capitalization stocks, also posted strong performance, but were unable
to keep pace with the S&P 500.

Foreign stock markets, which outperformed the U.S. market throughout 1994, could
not keep pace with the U.S. rally in 1995.  The European markets came closest -
the MSCI European Index was up more than 20% for 1995, with 8% in currency gains
against the U.S. dollar.  The Japanese equity market was up only 0.7% in 1995,
pulled down by a weak yen, while developing markets were down 7% for the year.

Looking forward, we expect that U.S economic growth will remain modest.  As we
enter 1996, wrangling over the budget has caused interest rates to rise and, in
the near term, the bond market should remain in a wider trading range until
there is a resolution.  Market participants are frustrated given the lack of
economic data, but there seems to be little risk of excessive economic growth.
With few inflationary pressures on the horizon, we expect the Federal Reserve to
cut interest rates further in order to stimulate consumer expenditures and
investment.  If our forecast proves correct, the result should be further gains
in U.S. bond prices.

It will be difficult for U.S. companies to maintain the strong level of profit
growth seen in 1995 with nominal GDP growth (real growth plus inflation) below
5%.  We suspect that the stock market will hit weakness at some point during the
year as more realistic profit forecasts are built into stock prices and that
1996 will see foreign markets begin to catch up with the U.S.  However, we
believe that 1996 should bring moderate growth in both the economy and the stock
market, albeit at rates much more modest than in 1995.

THE EQUITY SERIES:
GROWTH & INCOME PORTFOLIO


Paul Rissman

Vice President
Investment experience:
7 years


W. Theodore Kuck
Vice President
Investment experience:
22 years

The stock market reached new highs in 1995, with the S&P 500 up more than 37%
for the year.  The market benefited from the almost 2% drop in long-term
interest rates, which caused price/earnings ratios to rise.  Substantial
improvements in efficiency throughout the year helped companies to increase
profits even as sales growth declined.

The Growth & Income Portfolio posted a gain of more than 24% for 1995.
Although a strong return in absolute terms, this was well below the performance
of the S&P 500.  The Portfolio's conservative focus on blue chip, high dividend
paying equity holdings prevented us from fully participating in the market
rally.  The Portfolio also underperformed its unmanaged benchmark, comprised of
75% S&P 500 and 25% Value Line Convertible Index.  In strong markets such as
the one we experienced in 1995, higher-yielding stocks and convertible bonds
can not keep pace with the averages.

However, we continue to believe that convertible bonds make excellent
investments over the long term.  In purchasing a convertible bond, one gives up
some price appreciation in the future in exchange for a higher dividend.  When
the equity market is very strong, potential for price appreciation is given up
very quickly, and it takes time for this to be offset by the extra income from
higher dividends.  In a flat to declining market, convertible bonds are
excellent performers because of their interest payments. We have increased our
positions in the credit sensitive and energy sectors, where earnings are
relatively independent of the economic cycle.

Looking forward, we believe it will be very difficult for U.S. companies to
maintain profit growth in 1996.  Nominal GDP growth (real growth plus
inflation) is below 5%.  Maintaining profit growth in this environment could
result in layoffs, which in turn could lead to even slower growth in consumer
spending.  We suspect that the market will hit weakness at some point in 1996
as more realistic profit forecasts are built into stock prices.

THE EQUITY SERIES:
EQUITY INDEX PORTFOLIO

Judith Maglio
Vice President
Investment experience:
25 years

The rally of the equity market in 1995 resulted in strong performance for the
S&P 500, and consequently for the Equity Index Portfolio. In 1995, the Equity
Index Portfolio (after expenses) posted returns closely in line with those of
the S&P 500.

The Equity Index Fund is the only passively managed portfolio within the Hudson
River Trust.  Using a stratified sampling technique, the Portfolio is
constructed to track the investment results of the S&P 500 Index before
expenses without holding all 500 issues.  It also seeks to keep its risk level
consistent with that of the S&P 500.  Because the goal of the Index is to track
the S&P 500, it will remain fully invested in common stocks.

As of December 31, the Portfolio held 454 of the 500 issues in the S&P 500
Index.  Stocks are selected to mirror the market capitalization and industry
weightings of the S&P 500.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Total return before expenses that approximates the total return performance of
the Standard & Poor's Corporation 500 Index, including reinvestment of
dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of the Index.

PORTFOLIO SUMMARY, AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1995

THE EQUITY SERIES:
COMMON STOCK PORTFOLIO

Tyler Smith
Senior Vice President
Investment experience:
32 years

1995 was one of the best years ever for the U.S. stock market.  It was the
Federal Reserve's tightening of monetary policy in 1994 that kept inflation in
check and allowed for an easing of interest rates in 1995.   Combined with good
corporate earnings, this created a near-ideal environment for stocks.

As the year progressed, it became more and more apparent that the pace of
economic growth was slowing.  This resulted in a narrowing of market
leadership, with blue chip consumer stocks, considered to be relatively
insulated from the economic cycle, advancing well ahead of the general market.
As these stocks are heavily represented in the stock market averages, funds
which typically invest in a broader mix of companies had a difficult time
matching the performance of the Dow Jones and Standards and Poors averages.

The Common Stock Portfolio did well through the summer months, but lagged later
in the year as its large technology holdings came under selling pressure.  We
have shifted emphasis within this sector away from personal computer related
stocks and toward computer networking companies, which are profiting from the
extraordinary growth of the Internet.  We think that the market's selling of
these stocks will run its course and that they will do well in 1996.  The
Portfolio also continues to stress financial stocks.

Clearly, 1995 market performance was well above trends and is unlikely to be
matched in 1996.  With interest rates low and inflation under control, we do
not see significant downside risk.  The economic expansion hasn't produced
excesses that require a recession to correct.  1996 should bring moderate
growth in both the economy and the stock market, albeit at rates much more
modest than in 1995.

Long-term growth of its capital and increase income

THE EQUITY SERIES:
GLOBAL PORTFOLIO

Ronald Simcoe
Vice President
Investment experience:
18 years

The U.S. equity market had an exceptional 1995 compared to international
markets, with the S&P 500 Index rising more than 37%.  During the year, the
European markets gained 21.5%, of which 8% represented currency gains.  Japan
was up 0.7% despite Yen weakness, which reduced performance by 4%.  Developing
markets lagged, falling 7% for the year.  The Global Portfolio slightly
underperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital World Index, primarily because of the
Portfolio's modest underweighting of the strong U.S. market.

Currency volatility was a major factor in global performance for 1995 as the
U.S. dollar experienced a roller coaster ride, particularly against the Yen.
From January to April, the dollar weakened dramatically, which reduced earnings
for most non-dollar based companies.  Because of dollar weakness, the goods and
services of non-dollar based companies became more expensive in the competitive
global marketplace.  Strengthening of the dollar occurred as the year
progressed, following settlement of the U.S./Japan trade dispute and
intervention by major central banks (particularly the U.S. and Japan).

For the year, growth stocks performed exceptionally well due to continuous
interest rate reductions which began at the end of the first quarter.  The
central banks of developed countries have all adopted monetary policies
designed to turn around the decelerating growth rates of their economies.

As we enter 1996, we expect ongoing global interest rate reductions.  We will
also see better sales and earnings comparisons for European and Japanese
manufacturers against dollar-based competitors.  Japan offers the greatest
potential for positive earnings surprises in the new year.  Year-end valuation
measures indicate that the U.S. stock market is expensive relative to
international  markets; growth stocks are expensive; and cyclical stocks appear
attractive.  We are modestly rebalancing the Portfolio by selling highly-valued
growth companies and replacing them with quasi-cyclical stocks.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Long-term growth of capital

INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO

Ronald Simcoe
Vice President
Investment experience:
18 years

The International Portfolio, established on April 3, 1995, posted double-digit
returns through the end of 1995, outperforming its unmanaged benchmark, the
MSCI EAFE Index.  The International Portfolio has grown rapidly from a base of
$5 million to $28.7 million at year-end.

The Portfolio's strong performance was driven by ownership of growth stocks,
which experienced strong gains in a falling interest rate environment.  Our
overweight positions in capital goods and technology stocks also helped
performance.  Beginning in the second quarter of 1995, we benefited from
currency hedges against the Japanese Yen.

As we enter 1996, we expect continued global interest rate declines and we
believe foreign markets will perform well relative to the U.S.  We should see
better sales and earnings comparisons for European and Japanese manufacturers
against their dollar-based competitors.  Year-end historic valuation measures
indicate that the U.S. stock market is expensive relative to international
markets; growth stocks are expensive; and cyclical stocks appear attractive.

The Portfolio experienced a large surge in cash inflow at the end of 1995.
This cash will be expeditiously invested in January 1996.  We plan to add to
our holdings in both Japan and the U.K., which are the largest international
markets.  Quasi-cyclical issues are expected to be the major investment theme.
We also plan to rebuild significant hedges on European currencies since we
believe the dollar will strengthen further in early 1996.

AGGRESSIVE STOCK PORTFOLIO

Alden Stewart
Executive Vice President
Investment experience:

Randall Haase
Senior Vice President
Investment experience:
8 years

The U.S. equity markets saw a historic rally in 1995, with the Standard & Poors
and Dow Jones averages rising to record highs. The blue-chip consumer stocks
that drive the S&P 500 advanced well ahead of the general market. However,
indices like the Russell 2000, which represents smaller capitalization stocks,
were unable to keep pace with the S&P 500. The Aggressive Stock Portfolio
posted strong returns in 1995, outperforming its unmanaged market benchmark,
comprised of 50% S&P 400 (Mid-Cap) Index and 50% Russell 2000 Index.

Our overweight position in energy services, and particularly offshore drilling,
helped boost Portfolio performance.  Having significantly reduced technology
holdings during the fall, the Portfolio avoided the repercussions of the market
sell-off in technology stocks in the fourth quarter.

As we enter 1996, we continue to favor energy, health care, retail and
technology  stocks.  Reflecting these themes, newer positions in the Portfolio
include Diamond Offshore Drilling, the largest owner of semi-submersible
offshore rigs.  We have also added a position in Healthsouth, the country's
largest provider of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation.  We eliminated our
large position in Viacom during the summer due to slowdowns in both the video
industry and Viacom's theatrical division.

We believe interest rates should remain flat as long as moderate economic
activity continues.  It is likely that the Federal Reserve will lower the
federal funds rate again sometime in the next few months to prevent the economy
from slowing further.  We remain focused on small to medium-sized growth
companies that continue to build their franchises and have the potential to
expand market share in their respective industries.

THE ASSET ALLOCATION SERIES:
CONSERVATIVE INVESTORS PORTFOLIO

Robert G. Heisterberg
Senior Vice President
Investment experience:
35 years

Both the equity and fixed-income markets saw significant rallies in 1995.  The
S&P 500 index rose more than 37% in 1995, while long-term interest rates
dropped by nearly 2%.  With this sharp drop in interest rates, the Conservative
Investors Portfolio easily recovered last year's decline and went on to post a
strong double-digit return.  The Portfolio underperformed its unmanaged
benchmark, which represents 70% Lehman Brothers Treasury  Bond Index and 30%
S&P 500; mostly due to a conservative asset mix, with only 12% invested in
stocks.  However, with returns of more than 20% for the year, the Portfolio
posted strong performance in absolute terms while maintaining a low risk
profile.

Performance in the fixed-income portion of the Portfolio was above benchmark,
largely due to a longer-than-average maturity and the drop in long-term
interest rates. The performance of the Portfolio's equity holdings was fairly
close to that of the S&P 500 due to our emphasis on consumer non-cyclical and
financial stocks.  These sectors were not hurt by slower-than-expected economic
growth.

Our asset mix remains conservative, with 78%  of the Portfolio invested in
fixed-income investments, 12% in stocks and 10% in cash.  The stock market is
at record highs on many value measures and we do not believe that a
conservative investor should have substantial exposure to stocks at these
levels.  On the fixed-income side, we are maintaining an average maturity of
12.5 years, which is slightly longer than benchmark, because of the
disappointing Christmas selling season.

We suspect that the economy will be off to a weak start in 1996 and that bond
prices will be firm.  Portfolio quality remains very high, so that any credit
quality concerns created by the economic slowdown should not affect the
Portfolio's performance.

THE ASSET ALLOCATION SERIES:
BALANCED PORTFOLIO

Robert G. Heisterberg
Senior Vice President
Investment experience:
35 years

The economic environment of slow growth, subdued inflation  and declining
interest rates provided the backdrop for an excellent year in the financial
markets.  The stock market was propelled by strong corporate profits and a
sharp drop in interest rates.  In addition, strong cash flow into U.S. equity
mutual funds continued.  In 1995, the S&P 500 gained more than 37%, led by the
performance of large capitalization stocks.  The bond market also racked up
double-digit returns, but was unable to match the equity market.  As expected,
this generally caused balanced funds to underperform pure equity funds in 1995.

During the first two months of 1995, conservative corporate positioning and a
shift in Federal Reserve monetary policy detracted from the performance of the
Portfolio's bond component, although it went on to outperform the market during
the rest of 1995.  We are maintaining a longer-than-average duration versus the
Lehman Government/Corporate Index in response to the continued slow growth of
the economy.

The equity component of the Balanced Portfolio emphasizes growth at a
reasonable price across the capitalization spectrum.  The excellent performance
of the S&P 500 was driven by larger capitalization, blue chip stocks; which
advanced well ahead of the general market.  Indices representing smaller
capitalization stocks also posted strong performance, but were unable to keep
pace with the S&P 500. The Balanced Portfolio holds high quality, leading
companies and is broadly diversified across industry lines.  We continue to
focus on the stocks of those companies, in any industry, whose earnings growth
is reliable, steady and much faster than that of the stock market in general.

The Portfolio's asset mix as of year-end was 55.1% in stocks and convertible
securities, 37.8% in bonds and 7.1% in cash.  We believe the Portfolio's stock
holdings have the potential for strong earnings improvements in 1996.
However, there are risks in the stock market if the U.S. economy strays from
its non-inflationary growth path.  Given our forecast for the economy and
financial markets, we do not anticipate any major shifts in the asset mix in
the near future.

THE ASSET ALLOCATION SERIES:
GROWTH INVESTORS PORTFOLIO

Robert G. Heisterberg
Senior Vice President
Investment experience:
35 years

1995 was an excellent year for the financial markets - the S&P 500 index rose
more than 37%, while long-term interest rates dropped by nearly 2%. Although
the Growth Investors Portfolio underperformed its unmanaged benchmark, which
represents 70% S&P 500 and 30% Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index,
it ended the year with strong double-digit performance.  1995 was a difficult
year for managers to keep up with benchmarks such as the S&P 500, considering
that the blue-chip companies that make up these indices significantly
outperformed the average stock.  However, the Growth Investors Portfolio
outperformed its managed benchmark, the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Average, and
we believe that our rate of return is competitive with other balanced and asset
allocation funds.

The performance of the Portfolio's equity holdings was fairly close to that of
the S&P 500 due to our emphasis on consumer non-cyclical and financial stocks.
These sectors were not hurt by slower-than-expected economic growth.  On the
fixed-income side, we maintained a longer than average maturity throughout the
year, which helped to boost performance.  The Portfolio also benefited from the
drop in long-term interest rates and the good performance of the high-yield
sector.  Foreign markets significantly lagged the U.S. market in 1995.
Although we had reduced our foreign equity holdings, our 6% exposure did weigh
down performance slightly.

We are maintaining our current asset mix, comprised of 53% in stocks, 37% in
fixed-income investments and 10% in cash.  It will be difficult for U.S.
companies to maintain profit growth in 1996 and we suspect that the stock
market will hit weakness at some point during the year as more realistic profit
forecasts are built into stock prices.  If profits begin to weaken, the
Portfolio's asset mix will be adjusted by selling companies with disappointing
profits.   We also believe that 1996 will see foreign markets start to catch up
with the U.S. market, and have begun to gradually increase our exposure to
international stocks.

international investing, including currency,

THE FIXED INCOME SERIES:
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

Raymond Papera
Vice President
Investment experience:
14 years

Fluctuating market conditions, and shifts in Federal Reserve policy, kept money
market fund managers on their toes in 1995. The Money Market Portfolio
outperformed its managed benchmark, the Lipper Money Market Mutual Funds
Average, and matched the performance of the 3-Month Treasury Bill for the year.

As 1995 opened, the Federal Reserve Board raised the Fed Funds rate to 6.00%.
It was the seventh tightening authorized by the Fed in a twelve-month period,
and we maintained a short average maturity to take advantage of any further
rate hikes. As the first quarter of 1995 came to an end, it appeared that
inflation was being held in check. Second-quarter data indicated a slowdown in
growth, which in turn caused us to shift strategy toward a more neutral stance,
and an average duration. It became clear that the short-term yield curve was
beginning to flatten out.

When the Fed announced a 25-basis-point easing in early July, it marked the
first time since 1989 that we saw a tightening and an easing in the same year.
Within the money market, as short-term interest rates began to rise above long-
term rates -- a rare situation known as an inverted yield curve -- the
Portfolio extended its average maturity to maintain competitive performance
yield.

Weak economic data continued to flow in during the third and fourth quarter,
and the lack of a federal budget agreement may have delayed additional interest
rate easings. Finally, in December, the Fed authorized another reduction in the
Funds rate, which closed the year at the 5.50% level. We responded by further
extending the Portfolio's average maturity, which was up to 58 days at the end
of 1995. According to the Fed, the December easing was based on a decline in
inflation expectations. This, combined with one of the most disappointing
holiday retail seasons since World War II, indicates that the economy will
probably remain sluggish as we enter 1996. In anticipation of further declines
in yields for now, we plan to maintain a relatively high average fund maturity.

THE FIXED INCOME SERIES:
INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

Patricia J. Young
Senior Vice President
Investment experience:
14 years

Paul A. Ullman
Vice President
Investment experience:
13 years

U.S. bonds provided extraordinary returns in 1995.  The ground work for the
rally was laid by last year's tightening by the Federal Reserve, which slowed
economic growth to near trend levels while keeping inflation low.  The
Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio posted strong returns in 1995,
slightly underperforming its unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman Intermediate
Government Bond Index.

While the U.S. economy slowed in the first half of 1995, growth improved in the
third quarter due to larger-than-expected increases in residential housing,
government spending and business inventories.  However, fourth quarter economic
growth was less robust.  Retail sales remained weak and gains in real
disposable income slowed while personal debt levels continued to escalate.
Growth also remained sluggish in the manufacturing sector.

A rally at year-end was sparked by the benign inflation outlook and the
possibility of a federal government deficit package.  Broad price indices such
as the Consumer and Producer Price Indices rose only modestly and labor costs
remained under control.

The Portfolio's performance improved against its benchmark as 1995 progressed.
The first quarter was the most difficult period,  as we started the year with a
bearish outlook for the bond market.  However, we subsequently  repositioned
the Portfolio to benefit from a positive market environment.  The Portfolio was
invested in a combination of mortgage-backed and Treasury securities.  We
varied our weighting in fixed-rate mortgages in response to the outlook for
pre-payments and the level of market volatility.

We expect that U.S. economic growth will remain modest.  Wrangling over the
budget has caused interest rates to increase and, in the near term, the market
should remain in a wider trading range until there is a resolution.  Market
participants are frustrated given the lack of economic data, but there seems to
be little risk of excessive economic growth. With few inflationary pressures on
the horizon, we expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates further in
order to stimulate consumer expenditures and investment.  If our forecast
proves correct, the result should be further gains in U.S. bond prices.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
High current income consistent with relative stability

THE FIXED INCOME SERIES:
QUALITY BOND PORTFOLIO

Matthew Bloom
Vice President
Investment experience:
14 years

The fixed-income markets saw excellent performance throughout 1995.  As the
year began, the economy was operating at full capacity and growing rapidly.  By
the second quarter, it was apparent that the increase in interest rates in 1994
and early 1995, and declining inflationary pressures, had succeeded in slowing
growth to the more sustainable path it has since followed.

Although the Federal Reserve moved to tighten monetary policy in February by
raising the Federal Funds rate, we then saw a switch in policy as the Federal
Funds rate was reduced in July and again in December.  These changes in policy
were reactions to the growth rate of the economy during 1995. As the rally in
the fixed-income markets progressed, cash levels in the Portfolio were reduced
by decreasing its exposure to long-term bonds and buying more shorter-term
bonds.

We were overweighted in the corporate bond market, attracted by enhanced yields
and the improving credit quality of corporations as the recovery continued.
Interestingly, within the corporate arena, lower-quality bonds fared better as
a whole - mostly because when the economy is positive and inflation is low,
investors don't worry as much about credit quality.  This contributed to the
Quality Bond Portfolio underperforming its unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman
Aggregate Bond Index, despite the Portfolio's strong returns.

The Portfolio also invested in US dollar-denominated securities issued by non-
U.S. issuers (Yankee bonds), where credit and risk characteristics presented
opportunities.  During the second half of 1995, the Portfolio took advantage of
greater returns available overseas by investing in European government bonds.
The currency risk of these investments was fully hedged back into U.S. dollars.

The Portfolio maintained an underweight position in mortgages in 1995.  Fears
about volatility and a possible drop in interest rates, along with an awareness
of the increasing ease with which homeowners can refinance their mortgages, led
to concern that mortgage-backed securities would underperform.

Looking forward, we believe that the outlook remains positive for fixed-income
securities, although lower interest rates suggest that total returns in 1996
may be lower than in 1995.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
High current income consistent with preservation of capital

INVESTMENT POLICY
Primarily investment grade fixed income securities
The Portfolio reserves the right to invest in convertible
debt securities, preferred stocks and dividend-paying
common stocks.

THE FIXED INCOME SERIES:
HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO

Wayne Tappe
Vice President
Investment experience:
12 years

The high yield market saw stellar returns in 1995.  The market benefited from
an extremely robust equity market, declining interest rates and very strong
high-yield mutual fund inflows of $10.7 billion.  However, high yield bonds
underperformed many other markets including equities and emerging markets.  The
high yield market also absorbed approximately $47.2 billion in new issues -
second only to $60.2 billion in 1993.  Most of the new issuance has been used
to fund growth and infrastructure in the cable and telecommunications sectors,
which accounted for about one third of 1995's issues.

The High Yield Portfolio did exceptionally well in 1995, outperforming its
managed benchmark, the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Average.  It was
also one of the few funds that was able to outperform the Merrill Lynch Master
High Yield Index, the Portfolio's unmanaged benchmark.  In 1995, the Portfolio
focused on media and telecommunications credits.  As the year progressed, we
shifted out of most cyclicals, particularly paper and auto-related companies.
Given the signs of continued slowing of the economy and fears of a recession,
the Portfolio increased its credit quality by adding more BB names and
decreasing exposure to CCCs.  Our emerging markets investments performed well
in 1995.  Many new foreign bonds, which were extremely cheap relative to high
yield spreads, have paid handsome dividends in 1995.

It will be extremely difficult to match last year's returns in 1996.  It is
unlikely that a clear set of signals will appear.  We expect a sluggish economy
accompanied by declining interest rates.  A thirst for yield should not only
attract assets from other fixed income classes to the high yield market, it
should enhance the rate of inflows from high grade funds and pension funds.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
High return by maximizing current income and, to the extent consistent with
that objective, capital appreciation

INVESTMENT POLICY
Primarily a diversified mix of high yield, fixed income securities involving
greater volatility of price and risk of principal and income than high-quality
fixed income securities

The medium and lower quality debt securities in which the Portfolio may invest
are known as "junk bonds."

HUDSON RIVER TRUST

NOTES ON PERFORMANCE

The chart on the next page shows the performance of The Hudson River Trust
Portfolios together with comparative benchmarks, including both unmanaged
market indices and universes of managed portfolios. The Portfolios' annualized
net rates of return are based on the percentage change in the net asset value
with dividends and capital gains reinvested. Returns are net of investment
management fees and expenses of the Trust. These rates are not representative
of the actual return you would receive under a policy. No policyowner can
invest directly in the Trust. Changes in policy values depend not only on the
investment performance of the Trust, but also on the insurance and
administrative charges, applicable sales charges and the mortality and expense
risk charge applicable under a policy. These policy charges effectively reduce
the dollar amount of any net gains and increase the dollar amount of any net
losses. All performance shown is annualized, unless otherwise noted.

THE BENCHMARKS

Market indices are not subject to any charges for investment advisory fees
typically associated with a managed portfolio. Comparisons with these
benchmarks, therefore, are of limited use. We include them because they are
widely known and may help you to understand the universe of securities from
which each Portfolio is likely to select its holdings.

*Unannualized

Each of the Trust's Portfolios has a different investment objective it seeks to
achieve by following a separate investment policy*. There is no guarantee that
these objectives will be attained. The objectives and policies of each Portfolio
will affect its return and its risks.  Performance figures do not reflect the
cost of insurance and if they did the performance quoted would be lower.
Contract values may increase or decrease with investment experience, and reflect
certain contract charges and deductions. Keep in mind as you review past
performance that it is no estimate or indication of future results. Neither the
Money Market Portfolio nor the Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio is
guaranteed or insured by the U.S. Government.

*Not all Portfolios are available in all separate accounts.

HUDSON RIVER TRUST

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT

The charts shown in these pages illustrate the total value of an assumed
investment in each portfolio
of the Hudson River Trust, except the Money Market Portfolio. The periods
illustrated are from the inception dates shown for each portfolio through
December 31, 1995 (for the Common Stock Portfolio, for the ten years ended
December 31, 1995). The results assume the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains. Results should not be considered representative of future gains
or losses.

The total value shown for the Hudson River Trust Portfolios reflects management
fees and operating expenses of the portfolio only.  They have not been adjusted
for charges and expenses associated with life insurance policies or annuity
contracts.  Rates of return on insurance policies and annuity contracts will be
lower because of the deduction of contract-related charges.
Information on these pages constitutes part of the annual report of The Hudson
River Trust and is not intended for separate use.

A table of rates of return for the Hudson River Trust Portfolios and their
comparative benchmarks, as well as additional information regarding the
benchmarks, can be found on the two previous pages of this report.

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

   The Hudson River Trust (Trust) (successor to The Hudson River Fund, Inc.,
a Maryland corporation organized in 1984) was formed as a Massachusetts
business trust on July 10, 1987 and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Trust has thirteen Portfolios (Portfolios) currently in
operation: Money Market, Intermediate Government Securities, Quality Bond,
High Yield, Growth and Income, Equity Index, Common Stock, Global,
International, Aggressive Stock, Conservative Investors, Balanced and Growth
Investors. The investment objectives of each Portfolio are as follows:

   Money Market Portfolio -- High level of current income, preserve its
assets and maintain liquidity. The Portfolio pursues this objective by
investing in primarily high quality U.S. dollar denominated money market
instruments.

   Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio -- High current income
consistent with relative stability of principal through investment primarily
in debt securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the
U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

   Quality Bond Porfolio -- High current income consistent with preservation
of capital by investing primarily in investment grade fixed income
securities. The Portfolio reserves the right to invest in convertible debt
securities, preferred stocks and dividend-paying common stocks.

   High Yield Portfolio -- High return by maximizing current income and, to
the extent consistent with that objective, capital appreciation. The
Portfolio pursues this objective by investing primarily in a diversified mix
of high yield, fixed income securities involving greater volatility of price
and risk of principal and income than high quality fixed income securities.
The medium and lower quality debt securities in which the Portfolio may
invest are known as "junk bonds."

   Growth and Income Portfolio -- High total return through a combination of
current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily
income-producing common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks.

   Equity Index Portfolio -- Total return before expenses that approximates
the total return performance of the Standard & Poor's Corporation 500 Index,
including reinvestment of dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of
the Index.

   Common Stock Portfolio -- Long-term growth of its capital and increase
income. The Portfolio pursues this objective by investing primarily in common
stock and other equity-type instruments.

   Global Portfolio -- Long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio pursues
this objective by investing primarily in equity securities of non-United
States companies as well as United States issuers.

   International Portfolio -- Long-term growth of capital by investing
primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities selected
principally to permit participation in non-United States companies with
prospects for growth.

   Aggressive Stock Portfolio -- Long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio
pursues this objective by investing primarily in common stocks and other
equity-type securities issued by quality small and intermediate sized
companies with strong growth prospects.

   Conservative Investors Portfolio -- High total return without, in the
investment adviser's opinion, undue risk to principal. The Portfolio pursues
this objective by investing in a diversified mix of publicly traded equity
and debt securities.

   Balanced Portfolio -- High return through both appreciation of capital and
current income. The Portfolio pursues this objective by investing in a
diversified portfolio of publicly traded equity and debt securities and
short-term money market instruments.

                               52

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1995

   Growth Investors Portfolio -- Highest total return consistent with the
investment adviser's determination of reasonable risk. The Portfolio pursues
this objective by investing in a diversified mix of publicly traded equity
and fixed income securities, including at times common stocks issued by
intermediate and small-sized companies and at times fixed income securities
that are medium and lower equity debt securities known as "junk bonds."

   Shares of the Trust are offered to separate accounts of The Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United States (Equitable), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of The Equitable Companies Incorporated, Equitable Variable Life Insurance
Company (Equitable Variable), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Equitable, and
to separate accounts of other insurance companies unaffiliated with Equitable
and Equitable Variable. Effective December 10, 1993 and December 14, 1994,
the Board of Trustees approved the establishment of the Equity Index and
International Portfolios, respectively. The Equity Index and International
Portfolios commenced operations on March 1, 1994 and April 3, 1995,
respectively, at an initial share value of $10.

   On September 15, 1993, the Trustees approved an application for an order
of approval and exemption under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the substitution of
shares of the Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio for shares of the
Short-Term World Income Portfolio (STWIP) (Substitution). On February 22,
1994, 289,703 shares of STWIP with a value of $2,582,814 (including no
unrealized appreciation or depreciation) were substituted for 254,893 shares
of Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio with a net asset value at the
date of substitution of $10.13 per share.

   The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

   The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Trust:

   Stocks listed on national securities exchanges and certain
over-the-counter issues traded on the NASDAQ national market system are
valued at the last sale price, or, if there is no sale, at the latest
available bid price. Other unlisted stocks are valued at their last sale
price or, if no reported sale during the day, at a bid price estimated by a
broker.

   Convertible preferred stocks listed on national securities exchanges are
valued as of their last sale price or, if there is no sale, at the latest
available bid price.

   Convertible bonds and unlisted convertible preferred stocks are valued at
bid prices obtained from one or more of the major dealers in such securities.
Where there is a discrepancy between dealers, values may be adjusted based on
recent premium spreads to the underlying common stocks.

   Mortgage backed and asset backed securities are valued at prices obtained
from a bond pricing service where available, or at a bid price obtained from
one or more of the major dealers in such securities. If a quoted price is
unavailable, an equivalent yield or yield spread quotes will be obtained from
a broker and converted to a price.

   Purchased options, including options on futures, are valued at their last
bid price. Written options are valued at their last asked price.

   Long-term corporate bonds are valued at prices obtained from a bond
pricing service of a major dealer in bonds when such prices are available;
however, when such prices are not available, such bonds are valued at a bid
price estimated by a broker.

   U.S. Treasury securities and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities are valued at
representative quoted prices.

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1995

   Foreign securities not traded directly, or in American Depository Receipt
(ADR) or similar form in the United States, are valued at representative
quoted prices in the currency of the country of origin.

   Except for the Money Market Portfolio, short-term debt securities which
mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value. Short-term debt securities which mature in more than 60 days
are valued at representative quoted prices. Short-term debt securities held
in the Money Market Portfolio are valued at representative quoted prices
regardless of the length of maturity.

   Futures and forward contracts are valued at their last sale price or, if
there is no sale, at the latest available bid price.

   Other securities, including restricted securities, and assets for which
market quotations are not readily available or for which valuation cannot be
provided, are valued at "fair value" as determined in good faith by the
Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees.

   Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date net of brokerage
fees, commissions, and transfer fees.

   Interest income (including amortization of premium and discount on
securities using the effective yield method) is accrued daily. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

   Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are computed on the
basis of the identified cost of the related investments sold.

   The Board of Trustees has approved the lending of Portfolio securities,
through it's custodian bank Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. (Chase) acting as
lending agent, to certain broker-dealers in exchange for negotiated lenders'
fees. Any such loan of portfolio securities will be continuously secured by
collateral at least equal to the value of the security loaned. All loans will
be collateralized in the form of cash or U.S. Government securities. Chase
will indemnify the Portfolios from any loss resulting from a borrower's
failure to return a loaned security when due. At December 31, 1995, the value
of securities loaned and cash collateral received were as follows:

   At December 31, 1995, the Growth and Income Portfolio had on loan a

Subsequent to year end, the Portfolio was furnished with additional
collateral to meet the minimum requirement until the security was returned.

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1995

Equity Index, Common Stock, Global, International, Aggressive Stock,
Conservative Investors, Balanced and Growth Investors Portfolios received
$11,432, $8,015, $5,001, $459, $244, $8,519, $20,716, $189, $22,717, $72,882,
$117,251 and $120,212, respectively, of security loan fees, net of rebates
paid. Such net fees are included in interest income in the accompanying
Statements of Operations.

   The books and records of the Trust are kept in U.S. dollars. Foreign
currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the bid price last
quoted by a composite list of major U.S. banks at the following dates:

    (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and
liabilities--at the valuation date.

   (ii) purchase and sales of investment securities, income and expenses--at
the date of such transactions.

   The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
from investments.

   Net currency gains or losses realized and unrealized as a result of
differences between interest or dividends and withholding taxes recorded on
the Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amount actually received
or paid are presented under foreign currency transactions in the realized and
unrealized gains and losses section of the Statements of Operations.

   The Trust intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains
to shareholders of each Portfolio. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision
is required. Dividends from net investment income are declared and
distributed quarterly; dividends from net realized short-term and long-term
capital gains are declared and distributed annually to the shareholders of
the Portfolios to which such gains are attributable. All dividends are
reinvested in additional full and fractional Shares of the related
Portfolios. All dividends are distributed on a tax basis and as such, the
amounts may differ from financial statement investment income and realized
capital gains.

   Options Written:

   All Portfolios (except for the Money Market and Equity Index Portfolios)
may write (sell) covered options as a hedge to provide protection against
adverse movements in the price of securities in the portfolio or to enhance
investment performance. When a Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to
the premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a liability and is
subsequently adjusted on a daily basis to the current market price of the
option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire
unexercised are recognized as gains on the expiration date. In writing
options, a Portfolio must assume that the option may be exercised at any time
prior to the expiration of its obligation as a writer, and that in such
circumstances the net proceeds of the sale or cost of purchase of the
underlying securities pursuant to the call or put option may be substantially
below or above the prevailing market price. A Portfolio also has the
additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing purchase
transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist and bears the risk of
unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instruments underlying the
options.

   Futures and Forward Contracts:

   Futures and forward contracts are agreements to buy or sell a security for
a set price in the future. A Portfolio may buy or sell futures and forward
contracts for the purpose of protecting its portfolio securities against
future changes in interest rates which might adversely affect the value of
the Portfolio's securities or the price of securities that it intends to
purchase at a later date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into
futures contracts and can be either in cash or treasury securities. During
the period the futures and forward contracts are open, changes in the market
price of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by
"marking-to-market" at the end of each trading day. Variation margin payments
on futures contracts are received or made, depending upon whether unrealized
gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds
from (or cost of) the

                               55

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

closing transactions and the Portfolio's basis in the contract. Should
interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the
anticipated benefits of the futures and forward contracts and may incur a
loss. The use of futures and forward contracts transactions involves the risk
of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures and forward
contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.

   Limitations on Market and Credit Risk:

   Written options, futures and forward contracts involve elements of both
market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements
of Assets and Liabilities. The contract amounts of these written options,
futures and forward contracts reflect the extent of the Portfolio's exposure
to off-balance sheet risk. The Portfolio bears the market risk which arises
from any changes in security values. The credit risk for futures contracts is
limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade which acts as the
counterparty to the Portfolio's futures transactions. Forward contracts are
done directly with the counterparty and not through an exchange and can be
terminated only by agreement of both parties to the contract. There is no
daily margin settlement and the Portfolio is exposed to the risk of default
by the counterparty.

   Statement of Position 93-2:

   For the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with Statement of
Position 93-2 Determination, Disclosure and Financial Statement Presentation
of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment
Companies, the reclassification arising from current book/tax differences
resulted in increases (decreases) to the components of net assets as follows:

contracts in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates on its foreign securities holdings. A forward contract is a

negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between
the original contracts and the closing of such contracts is included in
realized gains or losses from foreign currency transactions. At December 31,
1995, the Quality Bond, Global, International and Growth Investors Portfolios

   The Growth and Income Portfolio had net capital loss carryforwards of
$474,588 (of which $2,753 expires in the year 2001, $281,737 expires in the
year 2002 and $190,098 expires in the year 2003), the High Yield Portfolio
had net capital loss carryforwards of $1,100,531 (of which $1,059,564 expires
in the year 2002 and $40,967 expires in the year 2003), the Intermediate
Government Securities and Quality Bond Portfolios had net capital loss
carryforwards of $9,349,227 and $5,388,947, respectively, which all expire in
the year 2002. To the extent the above losses are used to offset future
capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be
distributed to shareholders.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
of The Hudson River Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Money Market
Portfolio, Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio, Quality Bond
Portfolio, High Yield Portfolio, Growth and Income Portfolio, Equity Index
Portfolio, Common Stock Portfolio, Global Portfolio, International Portfolio,
Aggressive Stock Portfolio, Conservative Investors Portfolio, Balanced
Portfolio and Growth Investors Portfolio (constituting The Hudson River
Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at December 31, 1995, the
results of each of their operations for the year or indicated period then
ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights
for each of the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of
the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the 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. The
financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 1992 and for each of the
periods indicated prior thereto, were audited by other independent
accountants whose report dated February 10, 1993, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements.
