Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1. What Are The Fund's Objectives?

                      Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund is a diversified money
                      market fund that seeks to provide safety, liquidity and
                      stability of capital, and when consistent with these,
                      current income. In pursuit of its objectives the Fund
                      seeks to maintain a $1.00 share price.                   
                      ---------------------------------------------------------

   2. What Does The Fund Invest In?

                      The Fund invests in short-term securities backed by the
                      full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, as well as
                      repurchase agreements fully backed by U.S. Treasury
                      securities.
                      ---------------------------------------------------------

   3. What Are The Risks Of Investing In The Fund?

                      The Fund seeks to eliminate principal risk. Nonetheless,
                      the Fund's share price is not insured or guaranteed by the
                      U.S. Government, and there can be no assurance that the
                      Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of
                      $1.00 per share. The Fund's yield may vary from day to
                      day.

   4. For Whom Is This Fund Appropriate?

                      You may wish to consider this Fund if you are seeking
                      safety of principal as well as current income. Its
                      objectives make the Fund an appropriate investment for a
                      wide range of goals and for investors with short- or
                      long-term financial needs.

                      listed above remain the same each year. This example
                      should not be considered a representation of past or
                      future expenses or return. Actual Fund expenses and return
                      vary from year to year and may be higher or lower than
                      those shown. Please note that there is a $5 service fee if
                      you request redemption proceeds via wire.
