The  following  supplements  the currently  effective  Prospectus of each of the
listed funds:

On December  22,  1997,  Zurich  Insurance  Company  ("Zurich")  entered into an
agreement with B.A.T Industries p.l.c. ("B.A.T") pursuant to which the financial
services   businesses  of  B.A.T  will  be  combined  with  Zurich's  businesses
(including Zurich's 70% interest in Scudder Kemper  Investments,  Inc. ("Scudder
Kemper")) to form a new global insurance and financial services company known as
Zurich Financial Services.  After the transaction is completed, by way of a dual
holding company  structure,  current Zurich  shareholders will own approximately
57% of  the  new  organization,  with  the  balance  owned  by  B.A.T's  current
shareholders. 

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 1998.
Upon  consummation  of  the  transaction,   each  Fund's  investment  management
agreement  with  Scudder  Kemper  will be  deemed  to have  been  assigned  and,
therefore,  will  terminate.  The Board has approved new  investment  management
agreements with Scudder Kemper, which are substantially identical to the current
investment  management  agreements,  except  for  the  dates  of  execution  and
termination.  Each new investment  management  agreement is to become  effective
upon the termination of the current investment management  agreement.  The Board
will seek  shareholder  approval  of the new  investment  management  agreements
through  a proxy  solicitation  that  is  currently  scheduled  to  conclude  in
mid-December.
