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.

   5. What Are The Fund's Expenses And Fees?

                      There are two kinds of expenses that a shareholder may
                      incur, directly or indirectly, by investing in a mutual
                      fund. These types of expenses, as they relate to Scudder
                      U.S. Treasury Money Fund, are:

                       Shareholder transaction expenses --
                           fees charged directly to your account for various
                            transactions.

                           Sales Commission                       None
                           Commissions to Reinvest Dividends      None
                           Redemption Fee                         None
                           Exchange Fee                           None

                       Annual Fund operating expenses (after expense 
                        maintenance) --
                           fees paid by the Fund before it distributes its net
                           investment income, expressed as a percentage of the
                           Fund's average daily net assets. Figures below are
                           for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, during which
                           Scudder maintained the total annualized expenses of
                           the Fund at not more than 0.65% of average daily net
                           assets. Had Scudder not done so, expenses would have
                           amounted to 0.90%, including 0.50% for management
                           fees. Scudder will continue this expense maintenance
                           until October 31, 1996.

                           Investment management fee              0.25%
                           12b-1 fees                              None
                           Other expenses                         0.40%
                                                                  -----
                           Total Fund operating expenses          0.65%
                                                                  =====

                       Example:

                           Assuming a 5% annual return and redemption at the end
                           of each period, the total expenses relating to a
                           $1,000 investment would be:

                           1 Year     3 Years     5 Years    10 Years
                           ------     -------     -------    --------
                             $7         $21         $36        $81

                      This example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and
                      distributions and that the total Fund operating expenses
                      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.
