                                  PARTS A and B


The Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information are incorporated into
Part A and Part B of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 4, respectively, by
reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on
Form N-1A (File No. 33-88334), as filed electronically on April 25, 1996.

                         Supplement dated June 20, 1996
                         to Prospectus dated May 1, 1996

The information in this supplement updates and amends the information contained
in the Prospectus dated May 1, 1996 (the "Prospectus") and should be read with
that Prospectus. Capitalized terms are defined in the Prospectus.

(bullet) The following replaces the footnote * on page 3 of the Prospectus.

*  These amounts are not annualized. The performance data for periods prior to
   August 1, 1996 reflect deduction of an investment advisory fee at an annual
   rate of 0.50% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets, and deductions
   for the Portfolio's administrative services and other expenses at cost prior
   to May 1, 1996, and at an annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets
   thereafter. Performance data above is for each Portfolio and not for the
   separate accounts investing in the Portfolios. Therefore, the performance
   does not reflect insurance charges for mortality and expense risks, contract
   maintenance charges, deferred sales charges or other charges relating to the
   separate account using the Portfolios for VA Contracts or VLI Policies.
   Inclusion of these expenses would reduce the total return figures.

(bullet) The following replaces the Subsection entitled "Investment Adviser" on
         page 12 of the Prospectus:

Investment Adviser.   Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ALIAC" or the
"Investment Adviser"), serves as the investment adviser for each of the
Portfolios. ALIAC is a Connecticut insurance corporation with its principal
offices located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156. It is an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc., which is in
turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life and Casualty Company. ALIAC is
registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and is responsible for managing
over $22 billion in assets including those held by the Portfolios. ALIAC
receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.50% through July 31, 1996, and
thereafter, 0.60% of the average daily net assets of each of the Portfolios,
payable monthly.

Subadviser.   The Company and ALIAC have engaged Aeltus Investment Management,
Inc. (Aeltus) as Subadviser of each Portfolio effective August 1, 1996. Aeltus
is a Connecticut corporation with its principal offices located at 242 Trumbull
Street, Hartford, Connecticut 06156. Aeltus is also an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc. Aeltus is registered as an
investment adviser with the SEC. All of the current investment personnel of
ALIAC, including those listed below, will assume comparable positions with
Aeltus as of August 1, 1996 and will continue to provide investment services to
each Portfolio.

Under the Subadvisory agreement, Aeltus is responsible for managing the assets
of each Portfolio in accordance with each Portfolio's investment objective and
policies subject to the supervision of ALIAC, the Company and the Company's
Directors. Aeltus determines what securities and other instruments are purchased
and sold by each Portfolio and handles certain related accounting and
administrative functions, including determining each Portfolio's net asset value
on a daily basis and preparing and providing such reports, data and information
as ALIAC or the Directors request from time to time.

ALIAC has overall responsibility for monitoring the investment program
maintained by the Subadviser for compliance with applicable laws and
regulations, and each Portfolio's investment objective and policies.

(bullet) The following replaces the first sentence in the Subsection entitled
         "Portfolio Management" on page 5 of the Prospectus:

Portfolio Management.   Kevin M. Means, Chief Equity Officer, Aeltus as of 
August 1, 1996 and Chief Equity Officer, ALIAC since July 1994, has been the 
lead portfolio manager for the Portfolios since the Portfolios' inception in 
July 1995.

 *  Interested persons as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940
    Act).

**  Dr. Norgaard is a director of a holding company that has as a subsidiary a
    broker-dealer that sells contracts for Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity
    Company. The Portfolios are offered as investment options under the
    contracts. Her position as a director of the holding company may cause her
    to be an "interested person" for purposes of the 1940 Act.

(bullet) The following replaces the first sentence in the section entitled
         "Control Persons and Principal Shareholders" on page 20 of the
         Statement:

As of May 31, 1996, all of the shares of the Generation Portfolios were owned by
insurance companies as depositors of separate accounts which are used to fund
variable annuity contracts ("VA Contracts") and variable life insurance policies
("VLI Policies").

(bullet) The following replaces the sections entitled "Investment Advisory
         Agreement" and "Administrative Services Agreement" on pages 21 and 22
         of the Statement:

                          INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Company, on behalf of each Portfolio, has entered into Investment Advisory
Agreements (Advisory Agreements) appointing ALIAC as the Investment Adviser of
each Portfolio. These Advisory Agreements


<PAGE>


were adopted by the Board of Directors in February 1996 and approved by the
shareholders in June 1996. Each Advisory Agreement will initially be effective
from August 1, 1996 through December 31, 1997. The Advisory Agreements will
remain in effect thereafter if approved at least annually by a majority of the
Directors, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested
persons" of the Company, at a meeting, called for that purpose, and held in
person. Each Advisory Agreement may be terminated as to a particular Portfolio
without penalty at any time by the Directors or by a majority vote of the
outstanding voting securities of that Portfolio, or they may be terminated on
sixty days' written notice by ALIAC. The Advisory Agreements terminate
automatically in the event of assignment.

These Advisory Agreements replace agreements with ALIAC that were initially
approved by shareholders at the Portfolios' inception. The initial agreements
will remain in effect until August 1, 1996. Under the Advisory Agreements and
subject to the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company, ALIAC has
responsibility for supervising all aspects of the operations of each Portfolio
including the selection, purchase and sale of securities on behalf of each
Portfolio, the calculation of net asset values and the preparation of financial
and other reports as requested by the Board. Under both the old and the new
agreements, ALIAC is given the right to delegate any or all of its obligations
to a subadviser.

The Advisory Agreements provide that ALIAC is responsible for payment of all
costs of its personnel, its overhead and of its employees who also serve as
officers or Directors of the Company. Each Portfolio is responsible for payment
of all of its other costs; however, under the Administrative Services Agreement
described below, ALIAC has agreed to pay all direct expenses for each Portfolio
except for broker's commissions and other costs incurred in effecting
transactions on behalf of the Portfolio.

For its services under the prior agreements, ALIAC received a monthly fee at an
annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. For the
period ended December 31, 1995, ALIAC received investment advisory fees of
$44,673 from Aetna Ascent; $44,352 from Aetna Crossroads; and $43,540 from Aetna
Legacy. Under the new Advisory Agreements, ALIAC will receive an advisory fee at
an annual rate of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio,
payable monthly.

                              SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

ALIAC and the Company, on behalf of each Portfolio, have entered into
Subadvisory Agreements with Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (Aeltus)
effective August 1, 1996 through December 31, 1997. The Subadvisory Agreements
will remain in effect thereafter if approved at least annually by a majority of
the Directors, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested
persons" of the Company, at a meeting, called for that purpose, and held in
person. The Subadvisory Agreements may be terminated without penalty at any time
by the Directors or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Portfolio or they may be terminated on sixty days' written notice by the
Adviser, the Company or the Subadviser. The Subadvisory Agreements terminate
automatically in the event of their assignment.

Under the Subadvisory Agreements, Aeltus is responsible for managing the assets
of each Portfolio in accordance with their investment objectives and policies,
subject to the supervision of ALIAC and the Directors, and for preparing and
providing accounting and financial information as requested by the Adviser and
the Directors. The Subadviser pays the salaries, employment benefits and other
related costs of its personnel. For its services, ALIAC has agreed to pay the
Subadviser a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.35% of the average daily net
assets of each Portfolio, payable monthly. This fee is not charged to the
Company but is paid by ALIAC out of its investment advisory fees.

ALIAC, as the Investment Adviser, retains overall responsibility for monitoring
the investment program maintained by Aeltus for compliance with applicable laws
and regulations and each Portfolio's investment objectives and policies.

                        ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

The Company, on behalf of each Portfolio, entered into Administrative Services
Agreements with ALIAC effective May 1, 1996 under which ALIAC provides all
administrative services for the Portfolios and pays all ordinary recurring costs
of each Portfolio (except brokerage costs and other transaction costs). These
are costs that the Portfolios would otherwise be required to pay under the terms
of the Investment Advisory Agreement. As a result, the Portfolios' costs and
fees are limited to their advisory fee, the administrative services charge and
brokerage and transaction costs. For its services and as reimbursement for the
costs it incurs under the Administrative Services Agreement, ALIAC receives an
annual fee, payable monthly, at a rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets
of each Portfolio.

The Administrative Services Agreements will remain in effect through December
31, 1996 and will continue thereafter if approved annually by a majority of the
Directors. They may be terminated by either party on sixty days' written notice.

Prior to May 1, 1996, ALIAC provided administrative services under agreements
that allowed for the reimbursement of a proportionate share of ALIAC's overhead
in administering the Portfolios and the Portfolios reimbursed ALIAC directly for
all other costs. The total of the direct costs and administrative costs
reimbursed to ALIAC for the period ended December 31, 1995 was $96,041 for Aetna
Ascent; $96,465 for Aetna Crossroads; and $96,465 for Aetna Legacy.

                                LICENSE AGREEMENT

The Company uses the service mark of Aetna Generation Portfolios, Inc. and the
name "Aetna" with the permission of Aetna Life and Casualty Company granted
under a License Agreement. The continued use is subject to the right of Aetna
Life and Casualty Company to withdraw this permission in the event ALIAC or
another subsidiary or affiliated corporation of Aetna Life and Casualty Company
should not be the investment adviser of the Portfolios.

Item 27.   Indemnification
<PAGE>

           Article 9, Section (d) of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation,
           incorporated herein be reference to Exhibit 24(b)(1), as filed
           electronically on June 19, 1995 (File No. 33-88334), provides for
           indemnification of directors and officers.  In addition, the
           Registrant's officers and directors are covered under a directors and
           officers errors and omissions liability insurance policy issued by

           Reference is also made to Section 2-418 of the Corporations and
           Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland which provides
           generally that (1) a corporation may (but is not required to)
           indemnify its directors for judgments, fines and expenses in
           proceedings in which the director is named a party solely by reason
           of being a director, provided the director has not acted in bad
           faith, dishonestly or unlawfully, and provided further that the
           director has not received any "improper personal benefit"; and (2)
           that a corporation must (unless otherwise provided in the
           corporation's charter or articles of incorporation) indemnify a
           director who is successful on the merits in defending a suit against
           him by reason of being a director for "reasonable expenses." The
           statutory provisions are not exclusive; i.e., a corporation may
           provide greater indemnification rights than those provided by
           statute.
