After nine years of economic growth and a buoyant stock market, most sectors of the economy are slumping, and the stock market is highly volatile and trending generally downward. Meanwhile, the bond market has proven to be something of a safe haven for investors, responding in characteristic fashion to a significant drop in short-term interest rates. The driving force behind the extended period of rapid economic growth experienced during the 1990s was an accelerating pace of technological advancement, which produced significant improvements in productivity and also created an aura of excitement. Soaring corporate earnings fueled a high level of investment, as companies rushed to install the latest technology and add capacity to meet growing demand. Dramatic increases in the value of tech-heavy stock portfolios helped drive consumer spending. Technology is an equally significant factor in the current slowdown, and changing technology is also making it more difficult to predict future economic direction based on past experience. The rapid information flow made possible by technology has compressed reaction time among executives, investors and policy makers. With order and inventory data readily available, companies can rapidly adjust production schedules. Information about earnings and the economy that used to trickle gradually into markets is now available instantly. News about profit expectations moves stock prices instantly, at a time when more people than ever before have a stake in equity markets. The ready availability of information may be making the pattern of this slowdown different from previous cycles. Most past recessions have been led by consumers, who became cautious and stopped investing in housing and other big-ticket items. As the effects of weaker consumer spending were felt, companies gradually reduced capital spending. Inflation fears typically made the Federal Reserve slow to cut interest rates. This time, a rather sudden drop in demand for high-tech products raced quickly through the industrial sector. Many young technology companies that relied on rapid revenue growth for essential cash flow have had to cut back dramatically or cease operations altogether. The Fed has acted in a manner it has described as "rapid and forceful," with six cuts in interest rates totaling 275 basis points in the first half of 2001. Consumers, however, remain confident and willing to spend, most likely because unemployment remains relatively low, despite recent layoffs. Fueled in part by reductions in interest rates, the critical housing and auto sectors remain strong. The Conference Board's confidence index rose for the second consecutive month in June; reduced withholding and the upcoming tax refund checks should provide further impetus to consumer spending. Another positive influence is the drop in energy prices in recent months, driven by increased production and price-driven conservation measures. Low energy prices helped sustain the boom of the 1990s, and last year's surge added to the current slowdown. Now that market forces are again lowering energy prices, the effect on the economy should be positive. An important consideration for the U.S. economy and markets is the situation abroad. Economic news from Europe, Asia and Latin America is almost uniformly bad. The global influence of the United Sates extends far beyond our nation's 23% share of world gross domestic product, since the U.S. is a leading trading partner for most countries. Reduced import demand in the U.S. is a big factor in the slowdown in the rest of the world, and weaker foreign demand is a problem for beleaguered U.S. manufacturers. Steady appreciation in the dollar compounds the problem by making goods expensive for foreign buyers. An important unanswered question for gauging the likelihood of a speedy return to growth is how much of the current weakness is caused by a glut of inventory. If inventory is, in fact, the main problem, the oversupply should be largely resolved by the Fed's easing, which will encourage spending. But if there is a significant structural problem of excess capacity, any recovery that develops may be very gradual. While we all enjoyed the good times of the 1990s, realistic observers never expected the boom to continue indefinitely. As in recent years, we believe it is advisable to approach your variable life policy with a long-term perspective, and to take advantage of the many resources of the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network.

All total return figures shown above reflect all portfolio expenses, mortality and expense risk charges and all deductions taken from premiums. Returns do not include cost of insurance charges. These charges effectively reduce the dollar amount of any net gains and increase the dollar amount of any net losses. Premium deductions for Variable Life policies are reflected as 18.95% of premium based on average charges during the first ten policy years for a Variable Whole Life policy with a policy size of $100,000 and an annual premium of $1,536 for a male, age 35, select risk. Premium deductions for Variable CompLife policies are reflected as 12.65%. The premium deductions and surrender charges for Variable CompLife policies are based on an assumed average contract size of $200,000 of Variable Whole Life amount, $0 of Additional Protection and an annual premium of $2,610 for a male, age 35, select risk. Assumes annual premiums are paid in renewal years; if not, then a portion of the deductions to be taken from renewal premiums will be deducted from the account assets, reducing the rate of return.

All total return figures shown above reflect all portfolio expenses, mortality and expense risk charges and all deductions taken from premiums. Returns do not include cost of insurance charges. These charges effectively reduce the dollar amount of any net gains and increase the dollar amount of any net losses. Premium deductions for Variable Executive Life policies are comprised of 3.6% for state premium tax and federal tax and 15% for sales costs. Returns also reflect the annual administrative charge of 0.36% in policy year 1 and 0.12% in all other policy years. The charges against Policy Value assume an average Specified Amount of $500,000, Death Benefit Option A, and an annual premium of $10,000 for a sex-neutral, age 45, guaranteed issue non-tobacco risk. Total returns with surrender for Variable Executive Life policies are based on the same policy assumptions as premium deductions. They include a cash value increase equal to a portion of the sales load previously deducted, which is only applicable for the first two years. Premium deductions for the Variable Joint Life insurance policies are comprised of 3.6% for state premium tax and federal tax and 6.4% for sales costs. Returns also reflect Policy Value charges such as underwriting and issue charge of 0.22%, the deferred sales charge of 0.69% and the annual administrative charge of 0.02%. The charges against Policy Value assume an average Specified Amount of $3,000,000, Death Benefit Option A, and an annual premium of $55,740 for an age 55 male select/age 55 female select risk. Surrender charges are deducted from the policy proceeds upon surrender of the policy during the first 10 policy years (year 1, 50% of the paid premium, years 2-10, charge decreases by the same dollar amount month by month to zero at the end of the 10th year).

5 Performance Summary 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Economy With a slowdown in the U.S. economy evident for almost a year, the prevailing question now is whether an actual recession will occur. The possibility of a recession raises the further questions of when it might begin and end, how severe it could be, and whether the subsequent recovery will be sharp or mild. A recession is traditionally defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth in real GDP (gross domestic product). Since the growth numbers calculated by the U.S. Department of Commerce are typically revised several times after their initial release, it is entirely possible that it will be revealed later that a recession has already begun. At present, it appears that real growth was 1.2% in the first quarter of 2001. A survey of 54 economists conducted in June by The Wall Street Journal indicates that most believe the economy is currently growing at an annual rate well below 2%, but that growth will be above a 2% rate by the end of the year. Perhaps the most striking aspect of recent surveys is that each one conducted pushes the timing of a pick-up in growth a little further into the future. With few indications of strength beyond the consumer sector, an extended period of slow growth seems to be a distinct possibility.

In the first quarter, extreme weakness in technology shares pulled the NASDAQ index down sharply, and the S&P 500(R) and other broad market averages were down as well. The second quarter saw recoveries in all the major market indices, with the NASDAQ particularly strong. Especially near the end of the period, prices of individual stocks and industry groups seemed to move up sharply at any hint of positive news, as investors on the sidelines of the market indicated eagerness to deploy cash. In the first quarter, value-oriented stocks performed better than growth stocks; growth-oriented sectors were generally stronger in the second quarter, but the domination of performance by a few large growth stocks that had prevailed in previous years was absent. In fact, a major difference between the first half of 2001 and the preceding periods was that small-cap and mid-cap stocks performed better than large-company shares. There are several possible reasons for this shift in market leadership. Perhaps it simply reflects a return to focus on value, after a period of extremely high valuations of some large growth stocks. The lesser exposure of small-company earnings to the weakness of foreign economies may be a factor. Or, if history is considered a predictor of the future, this market trend could be regarded as a hopeful sign that the market is emerging from a trough, since small-cap and mid-cap stocks have typically led the market in the early stages of a recovery.

Source: Standard & Poor's -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bond Market As the Federal Reserve moved aggressively to cut short-term interest rates in the last six months, the bond market's yield curve (which depicts the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates) became much steeper. The yield on two-year bonds, which is tied closely to short-term rates, is 90 basis points (or nine-tenths of a percentage point) lower than six months ago, while the yield on 30-year bonds is 25 basis points higher. The higher yield on long-term bonds reflects concern that the Fed's easing will succeed in stimulating the economy, increasing the risk of inflation. Another distinguishing feature of the bond market during the first six months of 2001 was a significant tightening of the spread (difference in yield) between corporate and U.S. Treasury bonds. The result was that corporate bonds achieved their best six-month performance relative to Treasury bonds in many years. Easier monetary policy created significant liquidity in the market, and much of the new money was used to purchase corporate bonds, which were relatively cheap at the beginning of 2001. Demand for bonds has been further enhanced as the weak and volatile stock market has caused many investors to reallocate their assets, with a greater emphasis on bonds.

Objective: Portfolio Strategy: Net Assets: Maximum long-term appreciation Strive for the highest possible rate of capital $287.57 of capital appreciation by investing in companies with million potential for rapid growth.
SMALL CAP GROWTH STOCK PORTFOLIO The Small Cap Growth Stock Portfolio owns the stocks of emerging growth companies, with the objective of maintaining a median market capitalization of $1 billion. The range of market capitalization is generally between $200 million and $3 billion. The investment process involves detailed studies of individual companies. Factors evaluated include the growth rates of revenues and earnings, opportunities for margin expansion, financial strength, and quality of management. Since growth stock portfolios tend to react strongly to changes in financial and economic markets, as well as to changes in the prospects for individual companies, returns of this Portfolio can vary considerably from time to time. A higher level of risk (with risk defined as variability of returns over time) is accepted for the potential of greater long-term returns. The last 12 months have been a difficult time for small cap growth funds, which have suffered from the extreme weakness in the technology sector. Although this portfolio has been highly diversified since its inception, it has underperformed the two indices that serve as its benchmarks, in part because it includes fewer utility and bank stocks than the indices. In the current uncertain market environment, the Portfolio is even more diversified than usual, with 74 holdings spread across many different industry groups. Like the Portfolio itself, the best performing stocks were spread among many industry groups. These included THQ, which develops software for popular electronic game devices; Hotel Reservations Network; Renaissance Learning, a leading provider of learning information systems for primary and secondary schools; and Westwood One, which provides news, sports, weather, and other local content to radio and television stations. Several holdings in the retail, health care and retail industries performed well, as did regional airlines. A formerly large position in the energy industry has been scaled back, with profits taken through opportunistic sales. The primary focus remains on selection of quality stocks with good growth prospects and the financial strength to withstand a period of economic uncertainty. The current weakness in many sectors of the economy is creating some opportunities to buy quality growth stocks at attractive discounts to their inherent value.

Since the Portfolio invests primarily in small capitalization issues, the indices that best reflect the Portfolio's performance are the Standard & Poor's (S&P) SmallCap 600 Index and Russell 2000 Index. The Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index is an unmanaged index of 600 selected common stocks of smaller U.S.-based companies compiled by Standard & Poor's Corporation. As of June 30, 2001, the 600 companies in the composite had median market capitalization of $500 million and $369 billion. The SmallCap 600 represents approximately 2% of the market value of S&P's database of over 10,000 equities. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest US companies based on total market capitalization. These 3000 companies represent approximately 98% of the investable US equity market. As of June 30, 2001, the average market capitalization of companies in the Russell 3000 was $4.4 billion; the median market capitalization was $701.7 million. Market capitalization of companies in the Index ranged from $407.2 billion to $178.2 million. The Russell 2000 Index represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000. As of June 30, 2001, the average market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000 was approximately $526 million; the median market capitalization was approximately $428 million. The largest company in the index had a total market capitalization of approximately $1.3 billion. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 4/30/99 (commencement of the Fund's operations). Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of insurance protection. 7 Small Cap Growth Stock Portfolio 11 NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL SERIES FUND, INC.

Objective: Portfolio Strategy: Net Assets: Maximum long-term appreciation of Strive for the highest possible rate of capital $1.52 capital appreciation by investing in companies with billion potential for rapid growth.
AGGRESSIVE GROWTH STOCK PORTFOLIO The Aggressive Growth Stock Portfolio owns the stocks of emerging growth companies with market capitalizations generally in the range of $1 billion to $10 billion. Since growth stock portfolios tend to react strongly to changes in financial and economic markets, as well as to changes in the prospects for individual companies, returns of this Fund can vary considerably from time to time. A higher level of risk (with risk defined as variability of returns over time) is accepted for the potential of greater long-term returns. The Aggressive Growth Stock portfolio has underperformed its major benchmark, the S&P 400 Index(R), over the last 12 months, largely because of its holdings in the information technology sector, where stock prices have dropped precipitously after several years of outstanding performance. The concentration in this area has been reduced substantially, with holdings in less promising companies eliminated; most technology holdings are now more defensive issues such as Microchip Technology, whose products include high-performance RISC microcontrollers and power and thermal management devices; and Electronic Arts, Inc., the leading U.S. publisher of video games. A formerly large position in energy has also been reduced, in part by the buyout of Tosco Corporation by Phillips Petroleum, which contributed to performance; other underperforming energy holdings have been eliminated. The Portfolio continues to have a solid position in retailers, including Kohl's and Abercrombie & Fitch, and in drug companies such as Elan Corporation and Shire Pharmaceuticals. A larger than usual cash position at the end of June will make it possible to take advantage of future opportunities among mid-cap growth companies.

Since the Portfolio invests primarily in medium-capitalization (Mid Cap) issues, the index that best reflects the Portfolio's performance is the S&P MidCap 400 Index. This is a capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the mid-range sector of the U.S. stock market. As of June 30, 2001, the 400 companies in the composite had median market capitalization of $1.8 billion and a total market value of $869 billion. The MidCap 400 represents approximately 6% of the market value of S&P's database of over 10,000 equities. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 6/30/91. Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of insurance protection.

Objective: Portfolio Strategy: Net Assets: Long-term appreciation of capital Participate in the growth of foreign economies by $773.76 through diversification into markets investing in securities with high long-term million outside the United States earnings potential relative to current market values.
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO The Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio offers contract owners the opportunity to participate in the growth of companies in countries throughout the world, excluding the United States, particularly those with expanding economies. In selecting investments, the principal focus is on identifying undervalued stocks of companies with strong finances and good long-term growth opportunities, rather than on choosing specific industries or regions of the world in which to invest. The Portfolio is normally fully invested in equity securities. The Portfolio's fundamental, value-driven management style has enabled it to outperform its major benchmark, the EAFE index, in recent months. However, total return was negative, as markets around the world continued their downward trend. The Portfolio benefited from its low exposure to the underperforming technology, media and telecommunications sectors. Despite the underweighting, sharp drops in prices of holdings including Telefonica and Alcatel adversely affected performance. As companies in these sectors have experienced continued weakness, the Portfolio's managers have followed their usual practice of seeking out undervalued quality companies with solid long-term prospects, such as Samsung Electronics in Korea, NEC in Japan and Cable & Wireless in the UK. Although European markets have been generally lackluster, some European holdings were among the Portfolio's best performers, including food retailer J. Sainsbury and building materials company Hanson, both headquartered in the U.K., and Wolters Kluwer, a Dutch media company. Asian markets were moderately positive, responding to signals of economic reform and political restructuring in Japan and Korea; performance of the Portfolio's Asian holdings was mixed. A major contributor to performance was Australia & New Zealand Banking Group, which moved up sharply during the second quarter. The Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio is managed for Northwestern Mutual by Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC. ASSET ALLOCATION 6/30/2001 [ASSET ALLOCATION PIE CHART]

As depicted in the graph, the Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio is compared against the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE ("Europe-Australasia-Far East") Index. The index is composed of approximately 1100 companies in 20 countries in Europe and the Pacific Basin. The objective of the index is to reflect the movements of stock markets in these countries by representing an unmanaged (indexed) portfolio within each country. The index is constructed so that companies chosen represent about 60% of market capitalization in each market; industry composition of the market is reflected; and a cross section of large, medium, and small capitalization stocks is included, taking into account liquidity concerns. The index is calculated in U.S. dollars. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 4/30/93 (commencement of the Fund's operations). Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of insurance protection.

Objective: Portfolio Strategy: Net Assets: Long-term capital appreciation Invest in a portfolio designed to approximate the $185.77 through cost-effective participation composition and returns of the S&P MidCap 400. million in broad market performance
INDEX 400 STOCK PORTFOLIO The Index 400 Stock Portfolio is designed to achieve results that approximate the performance of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400(R) Composite Stock Price Index. This index is a capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the mid-range sector of the U.S. stock market. As of June 30, 2001, the 400 companies in the composite had a median market capitalization of $1.8 billion and total market value of $869 billion. For comparison, the 500 large stocks in the S&P 500 Index(R) had a median market capitalization of $8.4 billion and total market value of $11,028 billion. The Index 400 Portfolio enables contract owners to participate in performance of mid-sized companies in the U.S. equity market. The difference in performance between the Index 400 Stock Portfolio and the Standard and Poor's MidCap 400 Composite Stock Price Index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2001 is due to differences in the timing of rebalancing the Index and rebalancing the Portfolio.

The S&P MidCap 400 Index is a capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the mid-range sector of the U.S. stock market. As of June 30, 2001, the 400 companies in the composite had median market capitalization of $1.8 billion and a total market value of $869 billion. The MidCap 400 represents approximately 6% of the market value of S&P's database of over 10,000 equities. "Standard & Poor's(R)", "S&P(R)", "S&P MidCap 400 Index", "Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index", "S&P 500(R)" and "Standard & Poor's 500" are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. The funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor's, and Standard & Poor's makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the funds. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 4/30/99 (commencement of operations). Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of insurance protection.

Objective: Portfolio Strategy: Net Assets: Long-term appreciation of capital Hold a diversified mix of high quality growth $719.01 with moderate risk stocks of medium and large companies with million above-average potential for earnings growth.
GROWTH STOCK PORTFOLIO The Growth Stock Portfolio is invested in high quality companies of large to medium capitalization with strong financial characteristics and the ability to generate internal growth. A key factor in stock selection is the choice of industries with good earnings potential, based on analysis of economic trends to determine their impact on various sectors of the economy. Stock selection is made through "top down" analysis: first, industry and market sector choices are made based on the economic environment, and then the most promising companies within each sector are selected as holdings. A strategy of this Portfolio is to go beyond the most familiar "blue chip" names to seek out medium-sized companies with stock prices that do not yet reflect their potential for growth. Diversification across 70 to 90 stocks in a wide range of industry groups reduces the Portfolio's risk profile. The Growth Stock Portfolio performed generally in line with its major benchmark, the S&P 500 Index(R), over the last 12 months. In the first half of 2001, the Index and the Portfolio experienced a weak first quarter followed by improvement in the second quarter. As investor interest in growth stocks resumed in the second quarter of the year, major holdings including Microsoft, AOL Time Warner and Fiserv performed well. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio's overweightings in the energy and health care sectors hurt performance. The buyout of Tosco Corporation by Phillips Petroleum was a positive factor; several other underperforming energy holdings have been reduced or eliminated. Technology holdings, though underweighted relative to the Index, were the major factor in the Portfolio's negative return for the last 12 months. Near the end of the period, the position in financial services was increased, when weak stock prices created an opportunity to invest in high quality market-sensitive issues including Fifth Third Bancorp and Northern Trust Corporation. The Portfolio remains significantly overweighted in the consumer discretionary sector, with the emphasis on leading retailers including Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl's. These companies and their stocks have performed well, as consumer spending for basic items has remained strong. Unlike some other manufacturers of consumer durable goods, Harley-Davidson continues to report solid sales and earnings growth, and the stock has reflected this strength. With these and other holdings, the Portfolio remains invested in a well-diversified mix of quality companies with good potential for long-term growth.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Index is heavily weighted toward stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 5/3/94 (commencement of operations). Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of insurance protection. Growth Stock Portfolio 22 26 NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL SERIES FUND, INC.

J.P. MORGAN SELECT GROWTH & INCOME STOCK PORTFOLIO The J.P. Morgan Select Growth and Income Stock Portfolio invests mainly in large-capitalization stocks, with a focus on seeking the most attractive valuations in the market based on long-term earnings forecasts. A sector balance within a few percentage points of the S&P 500 Index(R) is normally maintained, with the emphasis on undervalued stocks within each industry group; a valuation discipline mandates the sale of stocks regarded as overvalued. More focus is placed on capital appreciation and dividend growth than on current dividends. The Portfolio is normally fully invested in equity securities. In a market that was volatile and generally down, especially in the first calendar quarter of 2001, the Portfolio performed better than its major benchmark, the S&P 500 Index(R), for the 12 months ended June 2001. A shift in market leadership, away from the former focus on a few leading growth names, favored the Portfolio's value-oriented investment style and its strategy of seeking out less prominent, undervalued stocks in each industry group. The single largest contributor to the Portfolio's performance was Tyco International, a diversified manufacturing and service company that is substantially overweighted relative to the Index. Other holdings that performed well were Philip Morris, Abercrombie & Fitch, and pharmaceutical company ALZA, which was acquired in June 2001 by Johnson & Johnson. E-bay, which was bought and sold opportunistically, was also a factor in performance in the first half of 2001. Weakness in health care insurer CIGNA, Ambac Financial Group and Global Marine partially offset gains from these strong performers. Falling stock prices in the media and telecommunications sectors have created opportunities to add holdings of quality companies including Sprint PCS, AOL Time Warner, and Gemstar. The J.P.

On April 30, 1993, the Portfolio was indexed to approximate the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. Before that date, the Portfolio was actively managed. The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The index is heavily weighted toward stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks. "Standard & Poor's(R)", "S&P(R)", "S&P MidCap 400 Index", "Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index", "S&P 500(R)" and "Standard & Poor's 500" are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. The funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor's, and Standard & Poor's makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the funds. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 6/30/91. Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of insurance protection.

Objective: Portfolio Strategy: Net Assets: A high level of current income and Achieve consistent returns and low volatility by $3.13 capital growth with a low risk diversifying among assets billion profile
BALANCED PORTFOLIO In order to capitalize on changing financial market and economic conditions, the Balanced Portfolio's asset allocation is adjusted as appropriate among three investment classes: stocks, bonds and money market instruments. The equity portion of the Portfolio is indexed, meaning that the Portfolio is designed to achieve results that approximate the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, which is generally regarded as a good proxy for the overall U.S. equity market. The bond portion of the Portfolio is actively managed, with investments in high quality bonds adjusted frequently as to maturity, market sectors and duration. Liquidity is maintained by holding a portion of the Portfolio in money market investments, which are high quality short-term debt securities. The mix of securities in the Balanced Portfolio is only slightly different from that of six months ago. However, a volatile stock market has provided the opportunity to increase returns through opportunistic selling and adjustments among asset classes. During the first quarter of 2001, as the market was trending rather sharply down, stocks were purchased during periods of pronounced weakness. In the second quarter, as signs of recovery began to appear, the focus shifted to a more conservative strategy of using strength to reduce equity exposure. At the end of June, the Portfolio is positioned relatively conservatively, with equities representing 53% of assets, down from 55% six months earlier.

In the graph, the Portfolio is compared against three indices representing the three major components of the Portfolio: equities, fixed income, and cash equivalent investments. The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The index is heavily weighted toward stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks. The Merrill Lynch Domestic Master Index is an unmanaged market value weighted index comprised of U.S. Government, mortgage and investment-grade corporate bonds. The index measures the income provided by, and the price changes of, the underlying securities. The Merrill Lynch 91-Day T-Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of each month and held for a full month. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, three months from the rebalancing date. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 6/30/91. Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower.

Objective: Portfolio Strategy: Net Assets: High current income and capital Generate superior performance by investing in a $150.06 appreciation with moderate risk diversified mix of fixed income securities rated million below investment grade.
HIGH YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO Investing in a portfolio of high yield bonds provides investors who can accept a moderate level of risk with a high level of current income, coupled with the opportunity for capital gains. Holdings of particular interest include investments in entities that have the possibility of a positive event, such as a significant improvement in credit rating or earnings or a change in ownership. In a high yield portfolio, some credit losses over time are inevitable; high coupons and diversification across many holdings mitigate the impact of individual securities on the performance of the total Portfolio. The High Yield Portfolio has performed well over the last year, with total return higher than its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers High Yield Intermediate Market Index, and also higher than most equity indices. This strong performance of high-yield bonds as an asset class at a time when equity markets are weak provides a reminder to investors that high-yield bonds represent a medium-risk, medium-return investment opportunity. The majority of the return from high- yield bonds over the last year has come from high current income, which has been partially offset by default losses and lower prices caused by increased credit and liquidity risk premiums. The High Yield Portfolio's positive performance relative to its benchmark has resulted from an emphasis on quality securities in defensive, stable industries. The average quality of the securities in the Portfolio, as measured by the ratings issued by the major rating agencies, is higher than is generally regarded as typical for a high yield bond portfolio. The Portfolio's performance has been further enhanced by its investments in industries that are not highly sensitive to economic conditions, such as cable television, finance, utilities and gaming. Within these industries, the emphasis is on the stronger companies with relatively good access to capital. Performance has benefited also from careful selectivity in the telecommunications sector, where many companies issue high-yield bonds. Most of the Portfolio's telecommunications holdings are in the wireless sector, including PCS (personal communication service) and cellular companies, and developers of the towers that carry wireless signals.

The total return performance for the High Yield Bond Portfolio is shown in comparison with the Lehman Brothers High Yield Intermediate Market Index. The Lehman Brothers index is an appropriate measure of portfolio performance since it has a quality and maturity profile that resembles the High Yield Bond Portfolio. The Lehman Brothers High Yield Intermediate Market Index is made up of dollar-denominated, nonconvertible, SEC publicly registered fixed rate noninvestment grade issues. The bonds will have remaining maturities of between one and ten years and have an outstanding par value of at least $100 million. Yankee and global bonds (SEC registered) of issuers in G-7 countries are included. Original issue zero coupon bonds and step-up coupon structures are also included; however, the index excludes pay-in-kind (PIK) bonds. Each bond must be rated Ba1 or lower by Moody's Investor Service. If a Moody's rating is unavailable, the bonds must be rated BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor's, or by Fitch if an S&P rating is unavailable. A few unrated bonds are included in the index; to be eligible they must have previously held a high yield rating or have been associated with a high yield issuer. The index is an unmanaged market value weighted index and measures the income provided by, and the price changes of, the underlying securities. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 5/3/94 (commencement of operations). Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of insurance protection.

Objective: Portfolio Strategy: Net Assets: A stable and relatively high level Invest in high grade corporate bonds, U.S. $343.12 of long-term total return and government bonds and bonds of government million preservation of capital agencies.
SELECT BOND PORTFOLIO The Select Bond Portfolio invests in high quality debt securities, primarily government bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Exposure to market sectors is adjusted as yield spreads change among the various classes of securities. Duration and maturities are altered with moderate adjustments in recognition or anticipation of interest rate changes. The Select Bond portfolio has outperformed its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Domestic master index, for the last six-month and 12-month periods. An overweighted position in corporate bonds early in the period was positive for performance, as corporate bonds outperformed Treasury securities. Recently, gains have been locked in by reducing this overweight. In addition, the Portfolio was correctly positioned for the steepening of the yield curve, with an overweighting in bonds with shorter maturities, which have risen in price as short-term interest rates have dropped. The Portfolio has benefited also from its emphasis on high quality securities and the discipline of the credit analysis process. The high credit quality of holdings has proven especially advantageous, as credit problems caused by weakening demand have resulted in precipitous drops in the prices of many bonds that were formerly rated investment-grade. An unusually large cash position at the end of June is temporary, reflecting the sale of some securities near the end of the period to realize profits.

Since the Portfolio invests broadly in U.S. Government, mortgage and corporate bonds, a useful basis for comparing returns is the Merrill Lynch Domestic Master Index. The index is an unmanaged market value weighted index comprised of U.S. Government, mortgage and investment-grade corporate bonds. The index measures the income provided by, and the price changes of, the underlying securities. This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 6/30/91. Returns shown include deductions for management and other fund expenses, and reinvestment of all dividends. Returns exclude deductions for separate account sales loads and account fees. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns shown on page 2 reflect mortality and expense risk charges and premium charges deducted from the assets of the separate account. The cost of insurance protection, which is not reflected in the returns shown on this chart, would make the returns significantly lower. Investors are urged to obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance which reflects the cost of insurance protection. Select Bond Portfolio 54 58 NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL SERIES FUND, INC.

Money Market Portfolio The Money Market Portfolio, which invests only in high quality commercial paper and other short-term debt securities with maturities generally not exceeding one year, is the least risky of the Portfolios. The Federal Reserve pursued a policy of aggressive easing in the first half of 2001, with six rate cuts that totaled 275 basis points. Unfortunately, the average maturity of the Money Market Portfolio was somewhat shorter than the index with which it is compared over this period; returns were therefore slightly below that of the index. At the end of June, the Portfolio's maturity is quite close to that of the index. It now seems likely that the series of rate cuts is at or near its end, and that short-term interest rates will remain relatively stable in the last half of 2001. AN INVESTMENT IN THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO IS NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.

Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2001 NOTE 1 -- Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"), is registered as a diversified open-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Series Fund consists of the Small Cap Growth Stock Portfolio, Aggressive Growth Stock Portfolio, Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio, Index 400 Stock Portfolio, Growth Stock Portfolio, J.P. Morgan Select Growth and Income Stock Portfolio, Index 500 Stock Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, High Yield Bond Portfolio, Select Bond Portfolio and the Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolios"). Shares are presently offered only to The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Northwestern Mutual") and its segregated asset accounts. NOTE 2 -- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principal accounting policies are summarized below. NOTE 3 -- Stocks listed on a national or foreign stock exchange are valued at the final sale price, or final bid price in absence of a sale. Stock not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange are valued at the closing bid price on the over-the-counter market. Bonds are valued on the basis of prices furnished by a service which determines prices for normal institutional size trading units of bonds. Money market investments, other than in the Money Market Portfolio, with maturities exceeding sixty days but generally not exceeding one year are valued by marking to market on the basis of an average of the most recent bid prices or yields. Money market investments with maturities of sixty days or less and all securities in the Money Market Portfolio are valued on an amortized cost basis or, if the current market value differs substantially from the amortized cost, by marking to market. When quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair market value determined by procedures approved by the Board of Directors. NOTE 4 -- Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. When the Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio and Select Bond Portfolio purchases or sells a foreign security they may enter into a foreign exchange currency contract to minimize market risk for the trade date to the settlement date of such transaction. Such foreign exchange currency contracts are marked to market daily. The Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Contracts valued at the contractual forward rate are marked to market daily, with the change in market value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is incurred. Risks may arise from changes in market value of the underlying instruments and from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio and Select Bond Portfolio do not separately report the results of operations due to 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 or unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade date and the settlement date on security transactions, the differences between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the portfolio's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. NOTE 5 -- The Small Cap Growth Stock, Aggressive Growth Stock, Index 400 Stock, Growth Stock, Index 500 Stock, Balanced and Select Bond Portfolios invest in futures contracts as an alternative to investing in individual securities. The Small Cap Growth Stock, Aggressive Growth Stock, Index 400 Stock, Growth Stock, Index 500 Stock, Balanced and Select Bond Portfolios could be exposed to market risk due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or due to an illiquid secondary market. Futures contracts are Notes to Financial Statements 80 84 marked to market daily based upon quoted settlement prices. The Portfolios receive from or pay to brokers an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments, known as the "variation margin," are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. ............................................................................... NOTE 6 -- Interest income and discounts earned are recorded daily on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information from foreign issues is available. Where applicable, dividends are recorded net of foreign dividend tax. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Securities transactions are accounted for on trade date. The basis for determining cost on sale of securities is identified cost. For the period ended June 30, 2001, transactions in securities other than money market investments were:

............................................................................... NOTE 7 -- The Series Fund and its Portfolios are parties to annually renewable contracts pursuant to which each Portfolio pays a charge for investment management and administrative services. Each Portfolio pays at an annual rate based on the average daily net asset values of each Portfolio. For the Index 500 Stock Portfolio the rate is .20%, for the Index 400 Stock Portfolio the rate is .25%, and for the Balanced, Select Bond and Money Market Portfolios the rate is .30%. For the other Portfolios the rate for the investment advisory fee is graded by the asset size of the Portfolio according to the following schedule:

These amounts are paid to Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, LLC ("NMIS"), a wholly owned company of Northwestern Mutual, which is the manager and investment adviser of the Fund. Northwestern Mutual is also a party to the agreement. Other costs for each Portfolio are paid either by the Portfolios, Northwestern Mutual, or NMIS depending upon the applicable agreement in place. The Small Cap Growth Stock Portfolio, Aggressive Growth Stock, Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio, Index 400 Stock Portfolio, Growth Stock Portfolio, J.P.Morgan Select Growth and Income Stock Portfolio, and Index 500 Stock Portfolio pay their own custodian fees. In addition, certain Portfolios pay a portion of their custodian fees indirectly through expense offset arrangements. Custodian fees are reduced for Portfolios that maintain compensating balances in non-interest bearing accounts. The Portfolios could have invested the assets used to pay for the custodian fees, had the assets not been used in the expense offset arrangements. For the period ended June 30, 2001, the amounts paid through expense offset arrangements are $3,650 in the Small Cap Growth Stock Portfolio, $3,098 in the Aggressive Growth Stock Portfolio, $2,200 in the Index 400 Stock Portfolio, $2,421 in the Growth Stock Portfolio, $1,278 81 Notes to Financial Statements 85 in the J.P.Morgan Select Growth and Income Stock Portfolio, $5,287 in the Index 500 Stock Portfolio, and $1,886 in the High Yield Bond Portfolio. J.P.Morgan Investment Management, Inc. ("J.P.Morgan") and Templeton Investment Counsel, Inc. ("Templeton Counsel") have been retained under an investment sub-advisory agreement to provide investment advise and, in general, to conduct the management investment program of the J.P.Morgan Select Growth and Income Stock Portfolio and the Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio, respectively. NMIS pays J.P.Morgan .45% on the first $100 million of the combined net assets for all funds managed for Northwestern Mutual by J.P.Morgan, .40% on the next $100 million, .35% on the next $200 million and .30% in excess of $400 million. NMIS pays Templeton Counsel .50% on the first $100 million of the combined net assets for all funds managed for Northwestern Mutual by Templeton Counsel and .40% in excess of $100 million. The Growth Stock and Aggressive Growth Stock Portfolios paid commissions on Fund transactions to an affiliated broker in the amounts of $1,362 and $19,578, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2001. NOTE 8 -- Each of the Portfolios of the Series Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company meeting certain requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. Since each expects to distribute all net investment income and net realized capital gains, the Portfolios anticipate incurring no federal income taxes. Taxable distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains in the Portfolios differ from book amounts earned during the period due to differences in the timing of capital gains recognition and due to the reclassification of certain gains or losses from capital to income. The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are principally due to treatment of deferred losses. It is the policy of the Series Fund to reclassify the net effect of permanent differences between book and taxable income to capital accounts on the statements of assets and liabilities. After October 31, 2000, the Small Cap Growth Stock, Growth Stock, J.P.Morgan Select Growth and Income Stock, Balanced and High Yield Bond Portfolios had capital losses in the amounts of $3,634,128, $3,480,810, $5,938,168, $3,296,251 and $1,921,346, respectively. The Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio had currency losses in the amount of $378,584. These amounts are deferred and deemed to have occurred in the next fiscal year. For Federal income tax purposes, the High Yield Bond Portfolio also has a net realized capital loss of $47,838,316 which will be carried forward to offset future net realized capital gains. The amount expires as follows: $2,661,875 in 2006, $23,977,979 in 2007 and $21,198,462 in 2008. The Select Bond Portfolio has a net realized capital loss of $9,881,159, which will expire as follows: $1,399,791 in 2007 and $8,481,368 in 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is generally required to be treated as realized gains (losses). NOTE 9 -- Dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains are declared each year for the Small Cap Growth Stock, Aggressive Growth Stock, Franklin Templeton International Equity, Index 400 Stock, Growth Stock, J.P.Morgan Select Growth and Income Stock, Index 500 Stock, Balanced, High Yield Bond and Select Bond Portfolios and each business day for the Money Market Portfolio. NOTE 10 -- Northwestern Mutual voluntarily reimburses the Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio for the benefit Northwestern Mutual receives from foreign dividend taxes charged against the Portfolio. The amount reimbursed represents approximately 65% of the foreign dividend tax withheld from the Portfolio. Reimbursements are recorded when foreign dividend taxes are accrued. This voluntary reimbursement for the period ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000 was $944,610 and $830,396, respectively.

NOTE 2 -- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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. Principal accounting policies are summarized below. NOTE 3 -- All assets of each Division of the Account are invested in shares of the corresponding Portfolio of Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. and the Russell Insurance Funds (collectively known as "the Funds"). The shares are valued at the Funds' offering and redemption prices per share. The Funds are diversified open-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. NOTE 4 -- Dividend income from the Funds is recorded on the record date of the dividends. Transactions in the Funds' shares are accounted for on the trade date.

NOTE 5 -- A deduction for mortality and expense risks is determined daily and paid to Northwestern Mutual. Generally, for Variable Life policies issued before October 11, 1995, and Variable Complife policies issued on or after October 11, 1995 the deduction is at an annual rate of .50% and .60%, respectively, of the net assets of the Account. A deduction for the mortality and expense risks for the Variable Executive Life policies issued on or after March 3, 1998 and Variable Joint Life polices issued on or after December 10, 1998 are determined monthly at an annual rate of .75% of the amount invested in the Account for the Policy for the first ten Policy years, and .30% thereafter. The mortality risk is that insureds may not live as long as estimated. The expense risk is that expenses of issuing and administering the policies may exceed the estimated costs. Certain deductions are also made from the annual, single or other premiums before amounts are allocated to the Account. These deductions are for (1) sales load, (2) administrative expenses, (3) taxes and (4) a risk charge for the guaranteed minimum death benefit. Additional mortality costs are deducted from the policy annually and are paid to Northwestern Mutual to cover the cost of providing insurance protection. This cost is actuarially calculated based upon the insured's age, the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and the amount of insurance provided under the policy. NOTE 6 -- Northwestern Mutual is taxed as a "life insurance company" under the Internal Revenue Code. The variable life insurance policies which are funded in the Account are taxed as part of the operations of Northwestern Mutual. Policies provide that a charge for taxes may be made against the assets of the Account. Generally, for Variable Life policies issued before October 11, 1995, Northwestern Mutual charges the Account at an annual rate of .20% of the Account's net assets and reserves the right to increase, decrease or eliminate the charge for taxes in the future. Generally, for Variable Complife policies issued on or after October 11, 1995, and for Variable Executive Life policies issued on or after March 2, 1998, and Variable Joint Life policies issued on or after December 10, 1998, there is no charge being made against the assets of the Account for Notes to Financial Statements 92 96 federal income taxes, but Northwestern Mutual reserves the right to charge for taxes in the future. NOTE 7 -- The Account is credited for the policyowners' net annual premiums at the respective policy anniversary dates regardless of when policyowners actually pay their premiums. Northwestern Mutual's equity represents any unpaid portion of net annual premiums. This applies to Variable Life and Variable Complife policies only. 93 Notes to Financial Statements 97 NML VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2001 (Unaudited) (in thousands, except accumulation unit values) NOTE 8 -- Equity Values by Division are shown below:
