                               ------------------

                           KEMPER SMALL CAP VALUE FUND
                       KEMPER U.S. GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

The following text supplements  information in the section  entitled  "Principal
Strategies and Investments" with respect to Kemper Small Cap Value Fund:

Although the fund does not presently intend to do so, it may invest up to 20% of
its  total  assets  in  foreign  securities.  

The following text supplements  information in the section entitled  "Additional
risk" with respect to Kemper Small Cap Value Fund:

Foreign  Investing.  Investing in foreign  securities,  and to a greater  extent
emerging markets,  involves risks in addition to those associated with investing
in  securities in the U.S. To the extent that  investments  are  denominated  in
foreign currencies, adverse changes in the values of foreign currencies may have
a significant  negative effect on any returns from these investments.  Investing
in foreign  securities  exposes the fund to an increased  risk of political  and
economic instability.

Other risks of investing in foreign  securities  include:  limited  information,
higher  brokerage  costs,  different  accounting  standards and thinner  trading
markets as compared to U.S. markets.  

The following text replaces information in the section entitled "Fee and expense
information" with respect to Kemper U.S. Growth and Income Fund:

Subject to the qualification  described below, Scudder Kemper Investments,  Inc.
has agreed to temporarily  reimburse  certain  operating  expenses to the extent
necessary to limit the fund's "Total Annual Fund Operating  Expenses" of Class A
shares to 1.36%,  Class B to 2.01%  and  Class C to  1.99%;  provided,  however,
transfer agency fees and related  out-of-pocket  expenses will not be subject to
this reimbursement. Therefore, if transfer agency fees and related out-of-pocket
expenses  were  to  exceed  the  limits  upon  Total  Operating  Expenses  for a
particular  class  during the period of the  reimbursement  (contrary to current
estimates),  such  expenses  would be charged to the class in the actual  amount
incurred and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the class would exceed the
limits  described above during the period.  This arrangement may be discontinued
at any time.  However,  the investment  manager has agreed to waive 0.15% of its
management fee until September 30, 1999. As a result,  for the fiscal year ended
September  30, 1998,  "Total

Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses"  were reduced by 1.23%,  1.48%,  and 1.26% for
Class A, Class B, and Class C and actual  total annual fund  operating  expenses
were 1.36% for Class A, 2.01% for Class B and 1.99% for Class C. The information
contained in the above table and the example  below  reflect the expenses of the
fund  without   taking  into   account  any   applicable   fee  waivers   and/or
reimbursements.  

The following text supplements  information in the section entitled  "Investment
Manager":

waive 0.15% of its management fee until September 30, 1999.
