     THIS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT is made as of the 1ST DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1999,
among WT Investment Trust I, a Delaware business trust (the "Fund"), Wilmington
Trust Company (the "Adviser"), a corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Delaware and Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc., a corporation organized
under the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Sub-Adviser").


     WHEREAS, the Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company and
offers for public sale distinct series of shares of beneficial interest; and


     WHEREAS, the International Multi-Manager Series (the "Series") is a series
of the Fund; and


     WHEREAS, the Adviser acts as the investment adviser for the Series pursuant
to the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the
Adviser under which the Adviser is responsible for the coordination of
investment of the Series' assets in portfolio securities; and


     WHEREAS, the Adviser is authorized under the Investment Advisory Agreement
to delegate its investment responsibilities to one or more persons or companies;


     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein
contained, the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser agree as follows:


1.   APPOINTMENT OF SUB-ADVISER. The Adviser and the Fund hereby appoint and
     employ the Sub-Adviser as a discretionary portfolio manager, on the terms
     and conditions set forth herein, of those assets of the Series which the
     Adviser determines to assign to the Sub-Adviser (those assets being
     referred to as the "Series Account"). The Adviser may, from time to time,
     make additions to and withdrawals, including cash and cash equivalents,
     from the Series Account.


2.   ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT. The Sub-Adviser accepts its appointment as a
     discretionary portfolio manager and agrees to use its professional judgment
     to make investment decisions for the Series with respect to the investments
     of the Series Account and to implement such decisions on a timely basis in
     accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.




<PAGE>

3.   DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS. The Adviser has furnished the Sub-Adviser with
     copies properly certified or authenticated of each of the following and
     will promptly provide the Sub-Adviser with copies properly certified or
     authenticated of any amendment or supplement thereto:


     (e) The Series' Investment Advisory Agreement;


     (f) The Fund's most recent effective registration statement and financial
         statements as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission;


     (g) The Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws; and


     (h) Any policies, procedures or instructions adopted or approved by the
         Fund's Board of Trustees relating to obligations and services provided
         by the Sub-Adviser.


4.   PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES OF THE SUB-ADVISER. The Sub-Adviser is hereby
     employed and authorized to select portfolio securities for investment by
     the Series, to purchase and to sell securities for the Series Account, and
     upon making any purchase or sale decision, to place orders for the
     execution of such portfolio transactions in accordance with Sections 6 and
     7 hereof and Schedule A hereto (as amended from time to time). In providing
     portfolio management services to the Series Account, the Sub-Adviser shall
     be subject to and shall conform to such investment restrictions as are set
     forth in the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, the Internal Revenue Code,
     applicable state securities laws, applicable statutes and regulations of
     foreign jurisdictions, the supervision and control of the Board of Trustees
     of the Fund, such specific instructions as the Board of Trustees may adopt
     and communicate to the Sub-Adviser, the investment objective, policies and
     restrictions of the Fund applicable to the Series furnished pursuant to
     Section 5 of this Agreement, the provisions of Schedule A and Schedule B
     hereto and other instructions communicated to the Sub-Adviser by the
     Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is not authorized by the Fund to take any action,
     including the purchase or sale of securities for the Series Account, in
     contravention of any restriction, limitation, objective, policy or
     instruction described in the previous sentence. The Sub-Adviser shall
     maintain on behalf of the Fund the records listed in Schedule B hereto (as
     amended from time to time). At the Fund's reasonable request, the
     Sub-Adviser will consult with the Fund or with the Adviser with respect to
     any decision made by it with respect to the investments of the Series
     Account.


5.   INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS. The Fund will provide the
     Sub-Adviser with the statement of investment objective, policies and
     restrictions applicable to the Series as contained in the Series'
     Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, all amendments or
     supplements to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and
     any instructions adopted by the Board of Trustees supplemental thereto. The
     Fund agrees, on an ongoing basis, to notify the Sub-Adviser in writing of
     each change in the fundamental and non-fundamental




<PAGE>

     investment policies of the Series and will provide the Sub-Adviser with
     such further information concerning the investment objective, policies,
     restrictions and such other information applicable thereto as the
     Sub-Adviser may from time to time reasonably request for performance of its
     obligations under this Agreement. The Fund retains the right, on written
     notice to the Sub-Adviser or the Adviser, to modify any such objective,
     policies or restrictions in accordance with applicable laws, at any time.


6.   TRANSACTION PROCEDURES. All transactions will be consummated by payment to
     or delivery by the custodian designated by the Fund (the "Custodian"), or
     such depositories or agents as may be designated by the Custodian in
     writing, of all cash and/or securities due to or from the Series Account,
     and the Sub-Adviser shall not have possession or custody thereof. The
     Sub-Adviser shall advise the Custodian and confirm in writing to the Fund
     and to the administrator designated by the Fund or any other designated
     agent of the Fund, all investment orders for the Series Account placed by
     it with brokers and dealers at the time and in the manner set forth in
     Schedule B hereto (as amended from time to time). The Fund shall issue to
     the Custodian such instructions as may be appropriate in connection with
     the settlement of any transaction initiated by the Sub-Adviser. The Fund
     shall be responsible for all custodial arrangements and the payment of all
     custodial charges and fees, and, upon giving proper instructions to the
     Custodian, the Sub-Adviser shall have no responsibility or liability with
     respect to custodial arrangements or the acts, omissions or other conduct
     of the Custodian, except that it shall be the responsibility of the
     Sub-Adviser to take appropriate action if the Custodian fails to confirm in
     writing proper execution of the instructions.


7.   ALLOCATION OF BROKERAGE. The Sub-Adviser shall have authority and
     discretion to select brokers and dealers (including brokers that may be
     affiliates of the Sub-Adviser to the extent permitted by Section 7(c)
     hereof) to execute portfolio transactions initiated by the Sub-Adviser, and
     for the selection of the markets on or in which the transactions will be
     executed, subject to the following and subject to conformance with the
     policies and procedures disclosed in the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of
     Additional Information and the policies and procedures adopted by the
     Fund's Board of Trustees.


     (a)  In executing portfolio transactions, the Sub-Adviser will give primary
          consideration to securing the best price and execution. Consistent
          with this policy, the Sub-Adviser may consider the financial
          responsibility, research and investment information and other services
          provided by brokers or dealers who may effect or be a party to any
          such transaction or other transactions to which other clients of the
          Sub-Adviser may be a party. It is understood that neither the Fund,
          the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser has adopted a formula for allocation
          of the Fund's investment transaction business. It is also understood
          that it is desirable for the Fund that the Sub-Adviser have access to
          supplemental investment and market research and security and economic
          analyses provided by certain brokers who may execute brokerage
          transactions at a higher commission to the Fund than may result when
          allocating brokerage to other brokers on the basis of seeking the
          lowest commission. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to place
          orders for the




<PAGE>

          purchase and sale of securities for the Series with certain such
          brokers, subject to review by the Fund's Board of Trustees from time
          to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice.
          It is understood that the services provided by such brokers may be
          useful to the Sub-Adviser in connection with its services to other
          clients of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is also authorized to
          place orders with certain brokers for services deemed by the Adviser
          to be beneficial for the Fund; and the Sub-Adviser shall follow the
          directions of the Adviser or the Fund in this regard.


     (b)  On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a
          security to be in the best interest of the Series as well as other
          clients of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, to the extent permitted
          by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no
          obligation to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in
          order to obtain the best price and execution. In such event,
          allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as expenses
          incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Adviser in the
          manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its
          fiduciary obligations to the Fund in respect of the Series and to such
          other clients.


     (c)  The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will not execute without the prior
          written approval of the Adviser any portfolio transactions for the
          Series Account with a broker or dealer which is (i) an affiliated
          person of the Fund, including the Adviser or any Sub-Adviser for any
          Series of the Fund; (ii) a principal underwriter of the Fund's shares;
          or (iii) an affiliated person of such an affiliated person or
          principal underwriter. The Adviser agrees that it will provide the
          Sub-Adviser with a list of such brokers and dealers.


     (d)  The Adviser shall render regular reports to the Fund of the total
          brokerage business placed and the manner in which the allocation has
          been accomplished.


8.   PROXIES. The Sub-Adviser will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect
     to issuers of securities in which assets of the Series Account may be
     invested from time to time. At the request of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser
     shall provide the Sub-Adviser with its recommendations as to the voting of
     such proxies.


9.   REPORTS TO THE SUB-ADVISER. The Fund will provide the Sub-Adviser with such
     periodic reports concerning the status of the Series Account as the
     Sub-Adviser may reasonably request.


10.  FEES FOR SERVICES. The compensation of the Sub-Adviser for its services
     under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Adviser in
     accordance with the attached Schedule C. Pursuant to the provisions of the
     Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the




<PAGE>

     Adviser is solely responsible for the payment of fees to the
     Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Adviser agrees to seek payment of the
     Sub-Adviser's fees solely from the Adviser.


11.  OTHER INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE SUB-ADVISER. The Fund acknowledges that
     the Sub-Adviser or one or more of its affiliated persons may have
     investment responsibilities or render investment advice to or perform other
     investment advisory services for other individuals or entities and that the
     Sub-Adviser, its affiliated persons or any of its or their directors,
     officers, agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for
     its or their own respective accounts ("Affiliated Accounts"). Subject to
     the provisions of Section 7(b) hereof, the Fund agrees that the Sub-Adviser
     or its affiliated persons may give advice or exercise investment
     responsibility and take such other action with respect to other Affiliated
     Accounts which may differ from the advice given or the timing or nature of
     action taken with respect to the Series Account, provided that the
     Sub-Adviser acts in good faith, and provided further, that it is the
     Sub-Adviser's policy to allocate, within its reasonable discretion,
     investment opportunities to the Series Account over a period of time on a
     fair and equitable basis relative to the Affiliated Accounts, taking into
     account the investment objective and policies of the Series and any
     specific investment restrictions applicable thereto. The Fund acknowledges
     that one or more of the Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold, acquire,
     increase, decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in
     investments in which the Series Account may have an interest from time to
     time, whether in transactions which involve the Series Account or
     otherwise. The Sub-Adviser shall have no obligation to acquire for the
     Series Account a position in any investment which any Affiliated Account
     may acquire, and the Fund shall have no first refusal, co-investment or
     other rights in respect of any such investment, either for the Series
     Account or otherwise.


12.  CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY. The Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser shall
     furnish to each other from time to time certified copies of the resolutions
     of their Boards of Trustees/Directors or executive committees, as the case
     may be, evidencing the authority of officers and employees who are
     authorized to act on behalf of the Fund, a Series Account, the Adviser
     and/or the Sub-Adviser.


13.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any action
     taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable judgment, in
     good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
     rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, or in accordance with
     (or in the absence of) specific directions or instructions from the Fund or
     the Adviser, provided, however, that such acts or omissions shall not have
     resulted from the Sub-Adviser's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
     negligence or a reckless disregard of duty. Nothing in this Section 13
     shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with Section 17(i) of the 1940
     Act.




<PAGE>

14.  CONFIDENTIALITY. Subject to the duty of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser and
     the Fund to comply with applicable law, including any demand of any
     regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties hereto
     shall treat as confidential all material non-public information pertaining
     to the Series Account and the actions of the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser and
     the Fund in respect thereof.


15.  ASSIGNMENT. No assignment of this Agreement shall be made by the
     Sub-Adviser, and this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event
     of such assignment. The Sub-Adviser shall notify the Fund and the Adviser
     in writing sufficiently in advance of any proposed change of control within
     the meaning of the 1940 Act to enable the Fund and the Adviser to take the
     steps necessary to enter into a new contract with the Sub-Adviser.

     (b)  The Sub-Adviser will maintain, keep current and preserve on behalf of

     other than amendments to Schedules A and B, is subject to the approval of
