The Fund in brief

Goal

IDS Cash Management Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide  shareholders  with maximum
current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Because any
investment  involves  risk,  achieving  this  goal  cannot be  guaranteed.  Only
shareholders can change the goal.

Investment policies and risks

   
The Fund is a diversified mutual fund that invests in money market  instruments,
such as marketable debt securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies
or  instrumentalities,  bank  certificates  of  deposit,  bankers'  acceptances,
letters of credit and commercial  paper. For further  information,  refer to the
later section in the prospectus titled "Investment policies and risks."
    

Manager and distributor

The Fund is managed by American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC), a provider
of financial  services since 1894. AEFC currently  manages more than $79 billion
in assets for the IDS MUTUAL  FUND  GROUP.  Shares of the Fund are sold  through
American Express  Financial  Advisors Inc. (AEFA), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
AEFC.

Portfolio manager

   
Terry Fettig joined AEFC in 1986 and serves as senior portfolio manager.  He has
managed this Fund since April 1993.  He also serves as portfolio  manager of IDS
Intermediate  Tax-Exempt Fund, IDS Tax-Free Money Fund, IDS Life Moneyshare Fund
and IDS Life Series Fund, Money Market Portfolio.
    

Purchases

The Fund offers its shares in three  classes.  New  investments  must be made in
Class A shares  of the  Fund.  Class A shares  have no sales  charge  or  annual
distribution (12b-1) fee. Class B and Class Y shares enable shareholders holding
those classes in other IDS funds to exchange into the Fund.  Class B shares have
a contingent  deferred sales charge (CDSC) and are subject to a 12b-1 fee. Class
Y  shares  are  sold  without  a  sales  charge  or  12b-1  fee  to   qualifying
institutional investors.

<PAGE>

Sales charge and Fund expenses

Shareholder  transaction  expenses on Class B shares are incurred directly by an
investor on the redemption of Fund shares.  Fund operating expenses are paid out
of Fund assets for each class of shares. Operating expenses are reflected in the
Fund's  daily  share  price  and  dividends,  and are not  charged  directly  to
shareholder accounts.

*Other expenses  include an  administrative  services fee, a transfer agency fee
and other nonadvisory expenses.

Example: Suppose for each year for the next 10 years, Fund expenses are as above
and  annual  return is 5%. If you sold your  shares at the end of the  following
years, for each $1,000 invested, you would pay total expenses of:

</TABLE>

*Assuming Class B shares are not redeemed at the end of the period.
**Based on conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares in the ninth year.
    

<PAGE>

This example does not represent actual expenses, past or future. Actual expenses
may  be  higher  or  lower  than  those  shown.  Because  Class  B  pays  annual
distribution (12b-1) fees, long-term  shareholders of Class B may indirectly pay
an equivalent of more than a 6.25% sales  charge,  the maximum  permitted by the
National Association of Securities Dealers.

Yield

   
The Fund's  annualized  simple yield for the seven days ended July 31, 1998, was
4.98%  for  Class A,  4.22%  for  Class B and  4.98%  for  Class  Y. The  Fund's
annualized  compound  yield for the same period was 5.10% for Class A, 4.30% for
Class B and  5.10%  for  Class Y.  The Fund  calculates  annualized  simple  and
compound yields based on a seven-day period.
    

Past yields should not be considered an indicator of future yields.

Investment policies and risks

The Fund will  limit  its  investments  to those  that are  denominated  in U.S.
dollars,  are of high quality and present  minimal  credit  risk.  The Fund will
maintain a  dollar-weighted  average  portfolio  maturity of 90 days or less and
will not purchase any security with a remaining maturity of more than 13 months.

   
The  various  types  of  investments  the  investment  manager  uses to  achieve
investment  performance  are described in more detail in the next section and in
the SAI.
    

Facts about investments and their risks

Money market instruments:  The Fund invests in short-term government securities,
bank obligations,  commercial paper and repurchase  agreements.  Except as noted
below,  the  commercial  paper the Fund  invests in must be rated in the highest
category  by at least  two  national  rating  services  or,  if  unrated,  be of
comparable  quality as determined by the board.  The Fund may invest up to 5% of
its total assets in commercial  paper  receiving the second highest rating or in
unrated paper determined to be of comparable quality.

Debt  securities:  The Fund may  invest in  negotiable  certificates  of deposit
(CDs),  fixed-time deposits,  bankers' acceptances and letters of credit of U.S.
banks,  branches of domestic  banks  located  outside the United States and U.S.
branches  of foreign  banks.  The Fund may  invest in CDs issued by savings  and
loans and CDs of foreign banks issued outside the United States.  (These CDs are
commonly  referred to as Eurodollar CDs.) The Fund also may invest in marketable
securities  issued  or  guaranteed  as to  principal  and  interest  by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities.  Some of these securities are not
direct  obligations of the U.S government and consequently are not backed by the
full faith and credit of the government.

Concentration:  Depending on market  conditions  and the  availability  of other
securities, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in U.S. banks,
U.S.  branches  of foreign  banks and U.S.  government  securities.  The risk of
concentrating investments in banks is that the value of these investments may be
adversely  affected  by  economic  or  regulatory  developments  in the  banking
industry and by the concentration of bank loan participations.

<PAGE>

Foreign investments: Investments in foreign banks and branches of domestic banks
outside the United States involve certain risks.  Domestic banks are required to
maintain specified levels of reserves,  are limited in the amounts they can loan
to a single  borrower and are subject to other  regulations  designed to promote
financial soundness.  Not all of these laws and regulations apply to the foreign
branches of domestic  banks.  Domestic bank  regulations do not apply to foreign
banks.  Eurodollar  CDs and  non-U.S.  fixed-time  deposits  may be  subject  to
political and economic risks of the countries in which the investments are made,
including the  possibility of seizure or  nationalization  of foreign  deposits,
penalties for early withdrawal of time deposits, imposition of withholding taxes
on income,  establishment of exchange controls or adoption of other restrictions
that might affect an investment adversely.  The Fund may invest up to 35% of its
total assets in foreign investments.

Securities  that are  illiquid:  A  security  is  illiquid  if it cannot be sold
quickly in the  normal  course of  business.  No more than 10% of the Fund's net
assets will be held in illiquid securities.

The investment policies described above may be changed by the board.

Lending portfolio securities: The Fund may lend its securities to earn income so
long as borrowers provide collateral equal to the market value of the loans. The
risks are that  borrowers  will not provide  collateral  when required or return
securities  when due.  Unless a majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities
approve otherwise, loans may not exceed 30% of the Fund's net assets.

Alternative investment option

In the future, the board of the Fund may determine for operating efficiencies to
use a master/feeder structure.  Under that structure, the Fund's assets would be
invested in an  investment  company with the same goal as the Fund,  rather than
invested directly in a portfolio of securities.

Valuing Fund shares

The NAV is the value of a single Fund share.  The NAV is calculated at the close
of business,  normally 3 p.m.  Central time,  each business day (any day the New
York Stock Exchange is open).

The portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value,  as  explained  in the SAI.  Although  the Fund cannot  guarantee it will
always be able to maintain a constant  net asset value of $1 per share,  it will
use its best efforts to do so.

How to purchase, exchange or redeem shares

Purchases

New  investments  must be made in Class A shares  of the Fund.  The Fund  offers
Class B and Class Y shares only to facilitate exchanges between classes of these
shares in other IDS funds. The primary  differences among the classes are in the
sales charge  structures and in their ongoing  expenses.  These  differences are
summarized in the table below.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>


                       Sales charge

Class A                None

Class B                No initial sales charge; maximum CDSC of         Shares convert to Class A in the

                       fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets         waived in certain circumstances


Class Y                None                                             Available only to certain qualifying
                                                                        institutional investors
</TABLE>

Conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares - During the ninth  calendar year
of owning your Class B shares, Class B shares will convert to Class A shares and
will no longer be subject to a distribution  fee. Class B shares that convert to
Class A shares  are not  subject  to a sales  charge.  Class B shares  purchased
through  reinvested  dividends  and  distributions  also will convert to Class A
shares in the same  proportion  as the other Class B shares.  This means more of
your money will be put to work for you.

Class Y shares - Class Y shares are offered to certain institutional  investors.
Class Y shares are sold  without a front-end  sales charge or a CDSC and are not
subject to either a service fee or a distribution  fee. The following  investors
are eligible to purchase Class Y shares:

   
o        Qualified employee benefit plans* if the plan:
         -    uses a daily transfer recordkeeping service offering participants
              daily access to IDS funds
              and has
         -    at least $10 million in plan assets or
         -    500 or more participants; or
         -    does not use daily transfer recordkeeping and has
         -    at least $3 million  invested  in funds of the IDS  MUTUAL  FUND
              GROUP or - 500 or more participants.
    

<PAGE>

o        Trust companies or similar institutions,  and charitable  organizations
         that meet the definition in Section  501(c)(3) of the Internal  Revenue
         Code.* These  organizations  must have at least $10 million invested in
         funds of the IDS MUTUAL FUND GROUP.

o        Nonqualified   deferred  compensation  plans*  whose  participants  are
         included in a qualified employee benefit plan described above.

   
* Eligibility must be determined in advance by AEFA. To do so, contact your 
financial advisor.
    

How to purchase shares

   
If you are investing in this Fund for the first time, you will need to set up an
account.   Your  financial  advisor  will  help  you  fill  out  and  submit  an
application. Your application will be accepted only when federal funds (funds of
the Federal  Reserve  System) are available to the Fund,  normally  within three
days of receipt of your application. Once your account is set up, you can choose
among several convenient ways to invest.
    

Important:  When opening an account,  you must  provide  your  correct  Taxpayer
Identification Number (Social Security or Employer  Identification  number). See
"Distributions and taxes."

When you purchase  shares for a new or existing  account,  the price you pay per
share is  determined  at the close of  business  on the day your  investment  is
received and accepted at the Minneapolis headquarters.

Purchase policies:

o        Investments   must  be  received  and   accepted  in  the   Minneapolis
         headquarters  on a  business  day  before  3 p.m.  Central  time  to be
         included  in your  account  that day and to receive  that  day's  share
         price. Otherwise, your purchase will be processed the next business day
         and you will pay the next day's share price.

o        The minimums allowed for investment may change from time to time.

   
o        Wire  orders  can be  accepted  only on days when your  bank,  American
         Express Client Service Corporation  (AECSC),  the Fund and Norwest Bank
         Minneapolis are open for business.
    

o        Wire  purchases  are  completed  when wired  payment is received  and 
         the Fund accepts the purchase.

o        AECSC and the Fund are not  responsible  for any  delays  that occur in
         wiring funds, including delays in processing by the bank.

<PAGE>

o        You must pay any fee the bank charges for wiring.

o        The Fund reserves the right to reject any application for any reason.

o        If your  application  does not  specify  which  class of shares you are
         purchasing,  it will be  assumed  that  you are  investing  in  Class A
         shares.

How to exchange shares

New investments of Class A shares may be exchanged for either Class A or Class B
shares of any other publicly offered fund in the IDS MUTUAL FUND GROUP available
in your state,  except that  exchanges into IDS Tax-Free Money Fund must be made
from Class A shares.  If you exchange shares from this Fund to another IDS fund,
any further exchanges must be between shares of the same class. For example, you
may not exchange  from Class B shares of another IDS fund into Class A shares of
this Fund. Exchange rules are illustrated in the following tables:

<PAGE>

Exchanges:
FROM                                    TO
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash
Management                              Other IDS funds*
                                 Class A                   Class B

Class A                            Yes                       Yes

Class B                            No                        Yes

Exchanges:
FROM                                    TO
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other
IDS funds*                              Cash Management Fund
                                 Class A                   Class B

Class A                            Yes                       No

Class B                            No                        Yes

*Tax-Free Money Fund has only a single class. Therefore, exchanges into Tax-Free
Money Fund must be made from Class A shares.

Note: Exchanges from Class A to Class B are not permitted within Cash Management
Fund.

If your initial  investment  was in this Fund, and you exchange into a non-money
market fund,  you will pay an initial  sales charge if you exchange into Class A
and be subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge if you exchange into Class
B. If your initial  investment was in Class A shares of a non-money  market fund
and you exchange shares into this Fund, you may exchange that amount,  including
dividends  earned on that amount,  without  paying a sales charge.  For complete
information  on any other fund,  including  fees and expenses,  read that fund's
prospectus carefully.

If your exchange  request  arrives at the  Minneapolis  headquarters  before the
close of  business,  your shares will be redeemed at the net asset value set for
that day.  The  proceeds  will be used to purchase new fund shares the same day.
Otherwise, your exchange will take place the next business day at that day's net
asset value.

For tax  purposes,  an exchange  represents  a  redemption  and purchase and may
result in a gain or loss.  However,  you  cannot  create a tax loss (or reduce a
taxable gain) by exchanging  from the Fund within 91 days of your purchase.  For
further explanation, see the SAI.

<PAGE>

How to redeem shares

You can redeem your shares at any time.  American  Express  Shareholder  Service
will mail payment within seven days after receiving your request.

When you redeem  shares,  the amount  you  receive  may be more or less than the
amount you invested.  Your shares will be redeemed at net asset value, minus any
applicable  sales  charge,  at the close of business on the day your  request is
accepted at the  Minneapolis  headquarters.  If your request  arrives  after the
close of business,  the price per share will be the net asset  value,  minus any
applicable sales charge, at the close of business on the next business day.

A redemption is a taxable transaction.  Although the Fund attempts to maintain a
stable $1 net asset value,  you will have a gain or loss if the Fund's net asset
value is more or less than the cost of your  shares.  This could affect your tax
liability.

                      Three ways to request an exchange or redemption of shares

1 By letter

Include in your letter:
o the name of the fund (s)
o the class of shares to be exchanged or redeemed
o your account  number(s) (for  exchanges,  both funds must be registered in the
  same ownership)
o your Taxpayer  Identification Number (TIN) o the dollar amount
  or number of shares you want to exchange or redeem
o signature of all registered account owners
o for redemptions,  indicate how you want your money delivered to you
o any paper certificates of shares you hold

Regular mail:
         American Express Shareholder Service
         Attn: Redemptions
         P.O. Box 534

<PAGE>

2  By phone
American Express Financial Advisors Telephone Transaction Service:
800-437-3133 or
612-671-3800

   
o        The Fund and AECSC  will honor any  telephone  exchange  or  redemption
         request believed to be authentic and will use reasonable  procedures to
         confirm that they are. This includes asking  identifying  questions and
         tape recording calls. If reasonable  procedures are followed,  the Fund
         or AECSC  will not be liable  for any loss  resulting  from  fraudulent
         requests.
    

o        Phone exchange and  redemption  privileges  automatically  apply to all
         accounts except custodial,  corporate or qualified  retirement accounts
         unless you  request  these  privileges  NOT apply by  writing  American
         Express  Shareholder  Service.  Each  registered  owner  must  sign the
         request.

   
o        AECSC answers phone requests  promptly,  but you may experience  delays
         when call volume is high.  If you are unable to get  through,  use mail
         procedure as an alternative.
    

o        Acting  on  your  instructions,  your  financial  advisor  may  conduct
         telephone transactions on your behalf.

o        Phone privileges may be modified or discontinued at any time.

Minimum amount
Redemption:       $100

Maximum amount
Redemption:       $50,000

3  By draft

For Class A only, free drafts are available and can be used just like a check to
withdraw  $100 or more from  your  account.  The  shares  in your  account  earn
dividends  until  they  are  redeemed  by the Fund to cover  your  drafts.  Most
accounts will automatically  receive free drafts.  However, to receive drafts on
qualified or custodial  business  accounts,  you must contact  American  Express
Shareholder  Service. A request form will be supplied and must be signed by each
registered  owner.  Your draft writing privilege may be modified or discontinued
at any time.

Minimum amount
Redemption:       $100

<PAGE>

Exchange policies:

o        You may make up to three exchanges within any 30-day period,  with each
         limited to  $300,000.  These  limits do not apply to  certain  employee
         benefit  plans or other  arrangements  through  which  one  shareholder
         represents  the  interests of several.  Exceptions  may be allowed with
         pre-approval of the Fund.

o        Except as  otherwise  noted,  exchanges  must be made  into the same
         class of shares of the new fund.

o        If your  exchange  creates a new  account,  it must satisfy the minimum
         investment amount for new purchases.

o        Once we receive your exchange request, you cannot cancel it.

o        Shares of the new fund may not be used on the same day for another 
         exchange.

o        If your shares are pledged as collateral,  the exchange will be delayed
         until written approval is obtained from the secured party.

   
o        AECSC and the Fund reserve the right to reject any exchange,  limit the
         amount,  or modify or discontinue  the exchange  privilege,  to prevent
         abuse or adverse effects on the Fund and its shareholders. For example,
         if exchanges are too numerous or too large, they may disrupt the Fund's
         investment strategies or increase its costs.
    

Redemption policies:

o        For Class B only a "change of mind"  option  allows you to change  your
         mind  after  requesting  a  redemption  and to use  all or  part of the
         proceeds  to  purchase  new shares in the same  account  from which you
         redeemed.  If you  reinvest in Class B, any CDSC you paid on the amount
         you are reinvesting also will be reinvested.  To take advantage of this
         option,  send a  written  request  within  30  days  of the  date  your
         redemption  request  was  received.  Include  your  account  number and
         mention this option.  This privilege may be limited or withdrawn at any
         time, and it may have tax consequences.

o        A telephone redemption request will not be allowed within 30 days of a 
         phoned-in address change.

   
Important:  If you request a redemption  of shares you  recently  purchased by a
check or money order that is not  guaranteed,  the Fund will wait for your check
to clear.  It may take up to 10 days from the date of purchase before a check is
mailed to you.  (A check may be mailed  earlier if your bank  provides  evidence
satisfactory to the Fund and AECSC that your check has cleared.)
    

<PAGE>

                           Three ways to receive payment when you redeem shares

1  By regular or express mail

o        Mailed to the address on record
o        Payable to names listed on the account
         NOTE: You will be charged a fee if you request express mail delivery.

2  By wire

o        Minimum wire redemption: $1,000
o        Request that money be wired to your bank
o        Bank account must be in the same ownership as the IDS fund account
         NOTE: Pre-authorization required. For instructions, contact your 
         financial advisor or American Express Shareholder Service.

3  By scheduled payout plan

o        Minimum payment: $50
o        Contact your financial advisor or American Express  Shareholder Service
         to set up regular payments to you on a monthly,  bimonthly,  quarterly,
         semiannual or annual basis
o        Purchasing new shares while under a payout plan may be disadvantageous 
         because of the sales charges

Class B - contingent deferred sales charge alternative

Where a CDSC is  imposed  on a  redemption,  it is  based on the  amount  of the
redemption  and the number of calendar  years,  including  the year of purchase,
between  purchase and redemption.  The following table shows the declining scale
of percentages that apply to redemptions during each year after a purchase:

If a redemption is                          The percentage rate
made during the                             for the CDSC is:

First year                                           5%
Second year                                          4%
Third year                                           4%
Fourth year                                          3%
Fifth year                                           2%
Sixth year                                           1%
Seventh year                                         0%

<PAGE>

If the amount you are  redeeming  reduces  the  current  net asset value of your
investment  in Class B shares below the total dollar amount of all your purchase
payments during the last six years  (including the year in which your redemption
is made),  the CDSC is based on the lower of the redeemed  purchase  payments or
market value.

The  following  example  illustrates  how the CDSC is  applied.  Assume  you had
invested  $10,000 in Class B shares and that your  investment had appreciated in
value to $12,000 after 15 months, including reinvested dividend and capital gain
distributions.  You could redeem any amount up to $2,000  without  paying a CDSC
($12,000  current value less $10,000 purchase  amount).  If you redeemed $2,500,
the CDSC would  apply only to the $500 that  represented  part of your  original
purchase price.  The CDSC rate would be 4% because a redemption  after 15 months
would take place during the second year after purchase.

Because the CDSC is imposed  only on  redemptions  that reduce the total of your
purchase  payments,  you never have to pay a CDSC on any amount you redeem  that
represents  appreciation  in the  value of your  shares,  income  earned by your
shares or capital gains.  In addition,  when  determining  the rate of any CDSC,
your  redemption  will be made from the oldest  purchase  payment  you made.  Of
course,  once a purchase  payment is considered to have been redeemed,  the next
amount  redeemed is the next oldest  purchase  payment.  By redeeming the oldest
purchase  payments  first,  lower CDSCs are imposed than would  otherwise be the
case.

Waivers of the contingent  deferred sales charge The CDSC on Class B shares will
be waived on redemptions of shares:

   
o        In the event of the shareholder's death,
o        Held in a trusteed employee benefit plan,
o        Held in IRAs or  certain  qualified  plans for which  American  Express
         Trust  Company acts as  custodian,  such as Keogh plans,  tax-sheltered
         custodial  accounts  or  corporate  pension  plans,  provided  that the
         shareholder  is:
         - at least 59-1/2 years old, and
         - taking a retirement distribution (if the redemption is part of a 
           transfer to an IRA or qualified plan in a product distributed by 
           AEFA, or a custodian-to-custodian transfer to a product not 
           distributed by AEFA, the CDSC will not be waived), or
         - redeeming under an approved substantially equal periodic payment 
           arrangement.

Distributions and taxes

As a shareholder you are entitled to your share of the Fund's net income and any
net gains  realized  on its  investments.  The Fund  distributes  dividends  and
capital gain  distributions to qualify as a regulated  investment company and to
avoid  paying  corporate  income and excise  taxes.  Dividend  and capital  gain
distributions will have tax consequences you should know about.

<PAGE>

Dividend and capital gain distributions

   
The Fund's net  investment  income from dividends and interest is distributed to
you monthly as dividends. Capital gains are realized when a security is sold for
a higher price than was paid for it. Short-term capital gains are distributed at
the  end of the  calendar  year  and  are  included  in net  investment  income.
Long-term  capital  gains are realized when a security is held for more than one
year.  The Fund will  offset any net  realized  capital  gains by any  available
capital loss  carryovers.  Net realized  long-term  capital  gains,  if any, are
distributed at the end of the calendar year as capital gain distributions. These
long-term  capital gains will be subject to differing tax rates depending on the
holding period of the underlying investments.
    

Dividends for each class will be calculated at the same time, in the same manner
and  will  be  the  same  amount  prior  to  deduction  of  expenses.   Expenses
attributable solely to a class of shares will be paid exclusively by that class.

Reinvestments

Dividends  and  capital  gain  distributions  are  automatically  reinvested  in
additional shares in the same class of the Fund, unless:

o        you request the Fund in writing or by phone to pay distributions to you
         monthly in cash, or

   
o        you  direct  the  Fund to  invest  your  distributions  monthly  in any
         publicly  available  IDS fund for which you have  previously  opened an
         account. Your purchases may be subject to a sales charge.
    

The  reinvestment  price is the net asset  value at close of business on the day
the  distribution  is paid.  (Your  quarterly  statement will confirm the amount
invested and the number of shares purchased.)

If you choose cash  distributions,  you will receive cash only for distributions
declared after your request has been processed.

If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the checks for the cash distributions,
we will  reinvest  the checks into your  account at the  then-current  net asset
value and make future  distributions in the form of additional shares.  Prior to
reinvestment,  no  interest  will  accrue on  amounts  represented  by  uncashed
distribution or redemption checks.

Taxes

Distributions are subject to federal income tax and also may be subject to state
and local taxes.  Distributions  are taxable in the year the Fund  declares them
regardless of whether you take them in cash or reinvest them.

<PAGE>

Each  January,  you will  receive a tax  statement  showing  the kinds and total
amount of all  distributions  you received  during the previous  year.  You must
report  distributions  on your  tax  returns,  even if they  are  reinvested  in
additional shares.

   
Redemptions and exchanges  subject you to a tax on any capital gain. If you sell
shares for more than their cost, the difference is a capital gain. Your gain may
be short term (for  shares  held for one year or less) or long term (for  shares
held for more than one  year).  Long-term  capital  gains will be taxed at rates
that vary depending upon the holding period. Long-term capital gains are divided
into two holding  periods:  (1) shares held more than one year but not more than
18 months and (2) shares held more than 18 months.
    

Your Taxpayer  Identification  Number (TIN) is important.  As with any financial
account you open, you must list your current and correct Taxpayer Identification
Number (TIN) -- either your Social Security or Employer  Identification  number.
The TIN must be certified  under penalties of perjury on your  application  when
you open an account.

If you do not provide the TIN, or the TIN you report is incorrect,  you could be
subject to backup withholding of 31% of taxable  distributions and proceeds from
certain  sales and  exchanges.  You also could be subject to further  penalties,
such as:

o        a $50 penalty for each failure to supply your correct TIN
o        a civil penalty of $500 if you make a false statement that results in 
         no backup withholding
o        criminal penalties for falsifying information

You also  could be subject to backup  withholding  because  you failed to report
interest or dividends on your tax return as required.

How the Fund is organized

Shares

The Fund is owned by its shareholders. The Fund issues shares in three classes -
Class A, Class B and Class Y. Each class has different  sales  arrangements  and
bears different expenses.  Each class represents  interests in the assets of the
Fund. Par value is one cent per share.  Both full and  fractional  shares can be
issued.

The Fund no longer issues stock certificates.

Voting rights

As a  shareholder,  you have  voting  rights  over  the  Fund's  management  and
fundamental  policies.  You are  entitled  to one vote for each  share  you own.
Shares of the Fund have  cumulative  voting  rights.  Each  class has  exclusive
voting  rights with respect to the  provisions of the Fund's  distribution  plan
that pertain to a particular  class and other matters for which  separate  class
voting is appropriate under applicable law.

may call meetings at their discretion, or on demand by holders of 10% or more of
the outstanding shares, to elect or remove board members.

Board members and officers

Shareholders  elect a board that oversees the operations of the Fund and chooses
its officers.  Its officers are  responsible for day-to-day  business  decisions
based on policies set by the board.  The board has named an executive  committee
that has  authority to act on its behalf  between  meetings.  Board  members and

Year 2000

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs having been written using
two  digits  rather  than  four  to  define  a  year.  Any  programs  that  have
time-sensitive  software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than 2000. This could result in the failure of major systems or miscalculations,
which would have a material  impact on the  operations of the Fund. The Fund has
no computer  systems of its own but is dependent upon the systems  maintained by
AEFC and certain other third parties.

A  comprehensive  review of AEFC's computer  systems and business  processes has
been  conducted to identify the major systems that could be affected by the Year
2000 issue.  Steps are being taken to resolve any potential  problems  including
modification  of  existing  software  and the  purchase of new  software.  These
measures are scheduled to be completed and tested on a timely basis. AEFC's goal
is to complete internal  remediation and testing of each of its critical systems
by the end of 1998 and to continue  compliance  efforts  through 1999.  The Year
2000 readiness of other third parties whose system failures could have an impact
on the  Fund's  operations  currently  is  being  evaluated.  The  companies  or
governments  in which the Fund invests  also may be  adversely  affected by Year
2000 issues. This may affect the value of the Fund's investments.  The potential
materiality of any impact is not known at this time.

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

   
These are investment  policies in addition to those presented in the prospectus.
The policies below are fundamental  policies of IDS Cash  Management  Fund, (the
Fund) and may be changed only with  shareholder  approval.  Unless  holders of a
majority of the outstanding  voting securities agree to make the change the Fund
will not:
    

`Invest in a company to control or manage it.

`Act  as an  underwriter  (sell  securities  for  others).  However,  under  the
securities  laws, the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter  when it purchases
securities directly from the issuer and later resells them.

`Borrow money or property,  except as a temporary  measure for  extraordinary or
emergency purposes,  in an amount not exceeding one-third of the market value of
its total assets (including borrowings) less liabilities (other than borrowings)
immediately  after the borrowing.  The Fund has not borrowed in the past and has
no present intention to borrow.

`Invest in  exploration  or  development  programs,  such as oil, gas or mineral
leases.

`Invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities  of companies,  including
any  predecessors,  that  have a record  of less  than  three  years  continuous
operations.

`Pledge or mortgage its assets beyond 15% of total assets.

`Invest  more than 5% of its  total  assets in  securities  of any one  company,
government or political  subdivision  thereof,  except the  limitation  will not
apply to investments in securities issued by the U.S.  government,  its agencies
or instrumentalities.

`Buy on margin, sell short or deal in options to buy or sell securities.

`Buy or sell real estate,  commodities or commodity  contracts.  For purposes of
this policy, real estate includes real estate limited partnerships.

`Purchase  securities of an issuer if the board members and officers of the Fund
and of American Express  Financial  Corporation  (AEFC) hold more than a certain
percentage of the issuer's outstanding securities.  If the holdings of all board
members  and  officers  of the Fund and of AEFC  who own  more  than  0.5% of an
issuer's  securities are added together,  and if in total they own more than 5%,
the Fund will not purchase securities of that issuer.

<PAGE>

`Lend Fund  securities in excess of 30% of its net assets,  at market value.  If
the Fund were to make long- or  short-term  loans,  it will  receive  the market
price in cash,  U.S.  government  securities,  letters  of credit or such  other
collateral as may be permitted by regulatory agencies and approved by the board.
If the  market  price  of the  loaned  securities  goes up,  the  Fund  will get
additional  collateral on a daily basis. The risks are that the borrower may not
provide  additional  collateral when required or return the securities when due.
Loans will not be made unless the investment  manager  believes the  opportunity
for additional  income outweighs these risks.  During the existence of the loan,
the  Fund  receives   cash   payments   equivalent  to  all  interest  or  other
distributions paid on the loaned  securities.  The Fund has no present intention
of loaning securities.

`Purchase common stocks,  preferred stocks,  warrants,  other equity securities,
corporate  bonds or  debentures,  state  bonds,  municipal  bonds or  industrial
revenue bonds.

`Purchase  securities of other open-end investment companies or invest more than
10% of the market  value of its  assets in  closed-end  funds.  If the Fund ever
makes such an investment, purchases will occur only on the open market where the
dealer's or sponsor's profit is limited to a regular commission. The Fund has no
present intention of investing in other registered investment companies.

Unless changed by the board, the Fund will not:

`Invest more than 10% of its net assets in securities that are illiquid  whether
or not registration or the filing of a notification  under the Securities Act of
1933 or the taking of similar action under other securities laws relating to the
sale of securities is required.  A risk of any such  investment is that it might
not be able to be easily liquidated.  For the purpose of this policy, repurchase
agreements with maturities greater than seven days and non-negotiable fixed time
deposits will be treated as illiquid securities.

In  determining  the liquidity of commercial  paper issued in  transactions  not
involving a public  offering  under Section 4(2) of the  Securities Act of 1933,
the investment manager, under guidelines established by the board, will evaluate
relevant  factors  such as the issuer and the size and nature of its  commercial
paper  programs,  the  willingness  and  ability  of the  issuer  or  dealer  to
repurchase the paper, and the nature of the clearance and settlement  procedures
for the paper.

The Fund may invest in commercial  paper rated in the highest rating category by
at least two nationally recognized  statistical rating organizations (or by one,
if only one rating is assigned) and in unrated paper  determined by the board to
be of comparable quality.  The Fund also may invest up to 5% of its total assets
in  commercial  paper  receiving the second  highest  rating or in unrated paper
determined to be of comparable quality.

<PAGE>

Notwithstanding any of the Fund's other investment policies, the Fund may invest
its assets in an open-end management investment company having substantially the
same  investment  objectives,  policies  and  restrictions  as the  Fund for the
purpose of having those assets managed as part of a combined pool.

For a description of money market securities, see Appendix A.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

Subject  to  policies  set  by the  board,  AEFC  is  authorized  to  determine,
consistent with the Fund's  investment goal and policies,  which securities will
be purchased,  held or sold. In determining where the buy and sell orders are to
be placed,  AEFC has been  directed  to use its best  efforts to obtain the best
available price and most favorable  execution except where otherwise  authorized
by the board.

AEFC has a strict Code of Ethics that  prohibits its  affiliated  personnel from
engaging in personal investment  activities that compete with or attempt to take
advantage of planned portfolio  transactions for any fund in the IDS MUTUAL FUND
GROUP. AEFC carefully monitors compliance with its Code of Ethics.

Normally,  the Fund's securities are traded on a principal rather than an agency
basis. In other words, AEFC will trade directly with the issuer or with a dealer
who buys or sells for its own  account,  rather than acting on behalf of another
client. AEFC does not pay the dealer commissions.  Instead, the dealer's profit,
if any, is the  difference,  or spread,  between the dealer's  purchase and sale
price for the security.

Each  investment  decision  made  for the  Fund is made  independently  from any
decision  made for another  fund in the IDS MUTUAL  FUND GROUP or other  account
advised  by AEFC or any AEFC  subsidiary.  When the Fund  buys or sells the same
security as another fund or account,  AEFC carries out the purchase or sale in a
way the Fund agrees in advance is fair.  Although sharing in large  transactions
may adversely affect the price or volume purchased or sold by the Fund, the Fund
hopes to gain an overall advantage in execution.

   
The Fund paid total  brokerage  commissions of $0 for the fiscal year ended July
31, 1998,  $0 for fiscal year 1997,  and $0 for fiscal year 1996.  Substantially
all firms through whom transactions were executed provide research services.
    

No  transactions  were  directed to brokers  because of research  services  they
provided to the Fund.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS PAID TO BROKERS AFFILIATED WITH AMERICAN EXPRESS FINANCIAL
CORPORATION

Affiliates of American  Express Company  (American  Express) (of which AEFC is a
wholly-owned   subsidiary)   may  engage  in  brokerage  and  other   securities
transactions  on behalf of the Fund  according  to  procedures  adopted  by that
Fund's board and to the extent  consistent  with  applicable  provisions  of the
federal securities laws. AEFC will use an American Express affiliate only if (i)
AEFC  determines  that the Fund will receive  prices and  executions at least as
favorable as those offered by qualified  independent  brokers performing similar
brokerage  and other  services for the Fund and (ii) the  affiliate  charges the
Fund commission  rates  consistent with those the affiliate  charges  comparable
unaffiliated  customers in similar  transactions  and if such use is  consistent
with terms of the Investment Management Services Agreement.
       

No brokerage commissions were paid to brokers affiliated with AEFC for the three
most recent fiscal years.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The Fund may quote various  performance  figures to illustrate past performance.
Average  annual total return and current yield  quotations  used by the Fund are
based on standardized  methods of computing  performance as required by the SEC.
An  explanation of the methods used by the Fund to compute  performance  follows
below.

<PAGE>

Average annual total return

The Fund may  calculate  average  annual  total  return for a class for  certain
periods by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the period
that would equate the initial amount  invested to the ending  redeemable  value,
according to the following formula:

   
                                             P (1 + T)n = ERV
    

where:         P =  a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
               T =  average annual total return
               n =  number of years
             ERV =  ending redeemable value of a hypothetical  $1,000 payment,
                    made at the beginning of a period,  at the end of the period
                    (or fractional portion thereof)

Aggregate total return

The Fund may calculate  aggregate  total return for a class for certain  periods
representing  the  cumulative  change in the value of an  investment in the fund
over a specified period of time according to the following formula:

                                                  ERV - P
                                                     P

where:         P =  a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
             ERV =  ending redeemable value of a hypothetical  $1,000 payment,
                    made at the beginning of a period,  at the end of the period
                    (or fractional portion thereof)

Annualized yield

The Fund calculates annualized simple and compound yields for a class based on a
seven-day period.

The simple yield is calculated by  determining  the net change in the value of a
hypothetical  account  having a  balance  of one share at the  beginning  of the
seven-day  period,  dividing the net change in account value by the value of the
account at the beginning of the period to obtain the return for the period,  and
multiplying  that return by 365/7 to obtain an annualized  figure.  The value of
the  hypothetical  account  includes the amount of any declared  dividends,  the
value of any shares  purchased  with any dividend paid during the period and any
dividends  declared  for such  shares.  The Fund's  yield does not  include  any
realized or unrealized gains or losses.

<PAGE>

The Fund calculates its compound yield according to the following formula:

   
Compound Yield = (return for seven-day period + 1) x (365/7) - 1
Fund's simple  annualized yield was 4.98% for Class A, 4.22% for Class B and
4.98% for Class Y and its compound  yield was 5.10% for Class A, 4.30% for Class
B and 5.10%  for Class Y on July 31,  1998,  the last day of the  Fund's  fiscal
year.
    

Yield,  or rate of  return,  on Fund  shares  may  fluctuate  daily and does not
provide a basis for determining  future yields.  However,  it may be used as one
element  in  assessing  how the Fund is  meeting  its goal.  When  comparing  an
investment   in  the  Fund  with  savings   accounts   and  similar   investment
alternatives,  you must consider that such alternatives  often provide an agreed
to or  guaranteed  fixed yield for a stated  period of time,  whereas the Fund's
yield  fluctuates.  In comparing  the yield of one money market fund to another,
you should  consider  the Fund's  investment  policies,  including  the types of
investments permitted.

In its sales material and other  communications,  the Fund may quote, compare or
refer to rankings,  yields or returns as published  by  independent  statistical
services or publishers and  publications  such as The Bank Rate Monitor National
Index, Barron's,  Business Week, Donoghue's Money Market Fund Report,  Financial
Services  Week,  Financial  Times,  Financial  World,  Forbes,  Fortune,  Global
Investor,   Institutional  Investor,   Investor's  Daily,  Kiplinger's  Personal
Finance, Lipper Analytical Services, Money, Morningstar, Mutual Fund Forecaster,
Newsweek, The New York Times, Personal Investor, Stanger Report, Sylvia Porter's
Personal Finance, USA Today, U.S. News and World Report, The Wall Street Journal
and Wiesenberger Investment Companies Service.

VALUING FUND SHARES

The Fund values its  securities as follows:  All of the securities in the Fund's
portfolio are valued at amortized  cost.  The amortized cost method of valuation
is an approximation of market value determined by systematically  increasing the
carrying value of a security if acquired at a discount, or reducing the carrying
value if acquired at a premium,  so that the carrying value is equal to maturity
value on the  maturity  date.  It does not take  into  consideration  unrealized
capital gains or losses.

The board has established  procedures designed to stabilize the fund's price per
share for  purposes  of sales and  redemptions  at $1, to the extent  that it is
reasonably  possible to do so.  These  procedures  include  review of the Fund's
securities by the board,  at intervals  deemed  appropriate  by it, to determine
whether the Fund's net asset value per share computed by using available  market
quotations  deviates  from a share value of $1 as computed  using the  amortized
cost  method.  The board must  consider  any  deviation  that  appears and if it
exceeds 0.5% it must  determine what action,  if any, needs to be taken.  If the
board  determines a deviation  exists that may result in a material  dilution of
the  holdings  of  current  shareholders  or  investors,   or  in  other  unfair
consequences for such

<PAGE>

persons,  it  must  undertake  remedial  action  that  it  deems  necessary  and
appropriate.  Such action may include  withholding  dividends,  calculating  net
asset value per share for  purposes  of sales and  redemptions  using  available
market quotations,  making redemptions in kind, and selling portfolio securities
before  maturity  in order to  realize  capital  gains or losses  or to  shorten
average portfolio maturity.

While the amortized cost method provides  certainty and consistency in portfolio
valuation,  it may result in valuations of securities  that are either  somewhat
higher or lower  than the  prices at which the  securities  could be sold.  This
means that  during  times of  declining  interest  rates the yield on the Fund's
shares may be higher than if valuations of securities  were made based on actual
market  prices  and  estimates  of  market  prices.  Accordingly,  if using  the
amortized cost method were to result in a lower  portfolio  value, a prospective
investor  in the Fund  would be able to obtain a somewhat  higher  yield than he
would get if portfolio  valuation were based on actual market  values.  Existing
shareholders,  on the other hand, would receive a somewhat lower yield than they
would  otherwise  receive.  The opposite  would happen during a period of rising
interest rates.

The Exchange,  AEFC and the Fund will be closed on the following  holidays:  New
Year's Day,  Memorial Day,  Independence  Day, Labor Day,  Thanksgiving  Day and
Christmas Day.

INVESTING IN THE FUND

The minimum  purchase for directors,  officers and employees of the Fund or AEFC
and AEFC  financial  advisors is $1,000 for the Fund (except  payroll  deduction
plans), with a minimum additional purchase of $25.

Systematic Investment Programs

After you make your initial  investment of $2,000 for the Fund,  you can arrange
to make additional  payments of $100 or more on a regular basis.  These minimums
do not apply to all systematic investment programs. You decide how often to make
payments - monthly, quarterly or semiannually. You are not obligated to make any
payments.  The Fund also can change the program or end it at any time.  If there
is no  obligation,  why do it?  Putting  money  aside  is an  important  part of
financial planning.  With a systematic  investment  program,  you have a goal to
work for.

How does this work? Each purchase is a separate transaction. After each purchase
your new shares  will be added to your  account.  Shares  bought  through  these
programs are exactly the same as any other Fund  shares.  They can be bought and
sold at any  time.  A  systematic  investment  program  is not an  option  or an
absolute right to buy shares.

For a discussion on dollar-cost averaging, see Appendix B.

<PAGE>

Automatic Directed Dividends

Dividends, including capital gain distributions, paid by another fund in the IDS
MUTUAL FUND GROUP may be used to automatically purchase shares in the same class
of the Fund. Dividend and capital gain  distributions,  if any, paid by the Fund
may be used to  automatically  purchase shares of another fund in the IDS MUTUAL
FUND GROUP  available  in your  state.  Dividends  may be  directed  to existing
accounts only.  Dividends  declared by the Fund are exchanged the following day.
Dividends can be exchanged into the same class of another fund in the IDS MUTUAL
FUND GROUP but cannot be split to make purchases in two or more funds. Automatic
directed dividends are available between accounts of any ownership except:

Between a  non-custodial  account and an IRA,  or 401(k)  plan  account or other
qualified  retirement  account of which  American  Express Trust Company acts as
custodian;

Between two American  Express Trust Company  custodial  accounts with  different
owners (for example,  you may not exchange dividends from your IRA to the IRA of
your spouse);

Between  different  kinds of custodial  accounts  with the same  ownership  (for
example,  you may not  exchange  dividends  from  your IRA to your  401(k)  plan
account, although you may exchange dividends from one IRA to another IRA).

Dividends may be directed from accounts  established  under the Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act (UGMA) or Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) only into other UGMA
or UTMA accounts with identical ownership.

The Fund's  investment  goal is  described  in its  prospectus  along with other
information, including fees and expense ratios. Before exchanging dividends into
another  fund,  you  should  read that  fund's  prospectus.  You will  receive a
confirmation  that the automatic  directed  dividend service has been set up for
your account.

REDEEMING SHARES

You have a right to  redeem  your  shares  at any time.  For an  explanation  of
redemption procedures, please see the prospectus.

Drafts:  Drafts  of $100 or more are  available  for  shareholders  of the Fund.
Drafts should be requested by registered  owners only.  The number of signatures
required for payment of a draft may vary by account ownership.  Drafts should be
used  like  checks,   but  should  not  be  sent  directly  to  the  Minneapolis
headquarters  to be cashed.  When the draft is accepted by the Fund  through the
banking system,  shares will be redeemed from your account.  In order to qualify
for this  service,  all  shares  must be held in  non-certificate  form.  If the
account is not large enough to cover a draft, it will be dishonored and

<PAGE>

   
returned  marked  "insufficient  funds."  Drafts  written on purchases made with
non-guaranteed  funds not yet 10 days old will not be honored in most cases. The
draft  writing  privilege  may be modified or terminated at any time. It may not
always be possible to give all shareholders  advance notification of each change
in the draft writing privilege.
    

Telephone  Redemptions:  Telephone redemptions are available for shareholders of
the Fund.  Records  maintained  by AEFC will be binding on all parties.  Neither
AEFC nor the Fund will be liable  for any loss,  expense  or damage  arising  in
connection  with  telephone  redemption  requests.  In order to qualify for this
service, all shares must be held in non-certificate form.

The  requesting   registered  owner  must  be  prepared  to  provide  sufficient
information to enable AEFC to verify the authenticity of the call and to process
the  redemption  request.  All  telephone  calls  will be  recorded.  Redemption
requests  received before the close of business  (normally 3 p.m.  Central time)
will be processed the same day. For each redemption, a number of shares equal to
the amount of the requested redemption will be redeemed.  The following business
day,  the  redemption  proceeds  will be  mailed  to the  address  of  record or
transmitted  by  Federal  Reserve  Wire to the bank  account  designated  on the
telephone  authorization form, provided AEFC, the Fund, Norwest Bank Minneapolis
and your bank are all open.  At the  present  time  there is no  additional  fee
charged for the wire  service,  but if such a fee is imposed in the  future,  an
additional number of shares will be redeemed to cover it.

The telephone  redemption privilege may be modified or discontinued at any time.
It may not always be possible to give all  shareholders  advance  notice of each
change in the procedures for telephone redemptions.

During an emergency,  the board can suspend  computation of the net asset value,
stop  accepting  payments for purchase of shares or suspend the duty of the Fund
to redeem shares for more than seven days. Such emergency situations would occur
if:

`The  Exchange  closes for  reasons  other than the usual  weekend  and  holiday
closings or trading on the Exchange is restricted, or

`Disposal of the Fund's securities is not reasonably  practicable,  or it is not
reasonably  practicable  for the Fund to  determine  the  fair  value of its net
assets, or

`The SEC, under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the 1940 Act), declares a period of emergency to exist.

Should the Fund stop  selling  shares,  the board may make a deduction  from the
value of the assets held by the Fund to cover the cost of future liquidations of
the assets so as to distribute these costs fairly among all shareholders.

<PAGE>

For this  Fund,  participants  in these  qualified  plans  may be  subject  to a
deferred  sales  charge on certain  redemptions.  The  deferred  sales charge on
certain  redemptions  will  be  waived  if  the  redemption  is  a  result  of a
participant's  death,  disability,  retirement,  attaining age 59 1/2,  loans or
hardship  withdrawals.  The deferred sales charge varies depending on the number
of participants in the qualified plan and total plan assets as follows:

Deferred sales Charge

                                        Number of Participants

Total Plan Assets                        1-99          100 or more
- -----------------                        ----          -----------
Less than $1 million                        4%               0%
$1 million or more                          0%               0%

PAY-OUT PLANS

Shareholders of IDS Cash Management Fund can use any of several pay-out plans to
redeem their  investment in regular  installments.  If you redeem Class B shares
you may be subject to a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge as discussed in the
prospectus.  While the plans differ on how the pay-out is figured,  they all are
based on the redemption of the investment.  Net investment  income dividends and
any capital gain  distributions  will  automatically  be reinvested,  unless you
elect to  receive  them in cash.  If a  tax-qualified  plan  account  for  which
American Express Trust Company acts as custodian is being redeemed,  an election
may be made to receive dividends and other  distributions in cash when permitted
by  law.  If an IRA or a  qualified  retirement  account  is  redeemed,  certain
restrictions,  federal tax  penalties and special  federal  income tax reporting
requirements  may apply.  You should consult your tax advisor about this complex
area of the tax law.

To start any of these plans, please write American Express Shareholder  Service,
P.O. Box 534,  Minneapolis,  MN 55440-0534,  or call American Express  Financial
Advisors Telephone Transaction Service at 800-437-3133  (National/Minnesota)  or
612-671-3800  (Mpls./St.  Paul).  Your  authorization  must be  received  in the
Minneapolis  headquarters  at least  five  days  before  the date you want  your
payments to begin.  The initial  payment must be at least $50.  Payments will be
made on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your choice
is effective until you change or cancel it.

The  following  pay-out  plans  are  designed  to take care of the needs of most
shareholders in a way AEFC can handle  efficiently and at a reasonable  cost. If
you need a more irregular  schedule of payments,  it may be necessary for you to
make a series of individual redemptions,  in which case you'll have to send in a
separate  redemption  request for each  pay-out.  The Fund reserves the right to
change or stop any pay-out plan and to stop making such plans available.

<PAGE>

Plan #1: Pay-out for a fixed period of time

If you choose this plan, a varying  number of shares will be redeemed at regular
intervals  during the time  period you  choose.  This plan is designed to end in
complete  redemption  of all  shares  in your  account  by the end of the  fixed
period.

Plan #2: Redemption of a fixed number of shares

If you choose this plan,  a fixed  number of shares  will be  redeemed  for each
payment and that amount will be sent to you.  The length of time these  payments
continue is based on the number of shares in your account.

Plan #3: Redemption of a fixed dollar amount

If you decide on a fixed dollar amount,  whatever  number of shares is necessary
to make the payment will be redeemed in regular  installments  until the account
is closed.

Plan #4: Redemption of a percentage of net asset value

Payments  are made  based on a fixed  percentage  of the net asset  value of the
shares in the account  computed on the day of each  payment.  Percentages  range
from 0.25% to 0.75%.  For  example,  if you are on this plan and arrange to take
0.5% each month, you will get $50 if the value of your account is $10,000 on the
payment date.

TAXES

Retirement Accounts

If you have a  nonqualified  investment in the Fund, you may move part or all of
those shares to an IRA or  qualified  retirement  account in the Fund.  However,
this type of exchange is  considered a redemption  of shares and may result in a
gain or loss for tax purposes.

Since the Fund  invests  only in money  market  securities,  all  income is from
interest  or  short-term  capital  gains.  Accordingly,   distributions  of  net
investment  income do not qualify for the 70%  dividends-received  deduction for
corporations.

Under  federal tax law, by the end of a calendar  year the Fund must declare and
pay dividends representing 98% of ordinary income for that calendar year and 98%
of net capital gains (both  long-term and  short-term)  for the 12-month  period
ending Oct. 31 of that calendar year. The Fund is subject to an excise tax equal
to 4% of the excess,  if any, of the amount required to be distributed  over the
amount actually distributed. The Fund intends to comply with federal tax law and
avoid any excise tax.

AGREEMENTS

Investment Management Services Agreement

   
The Fund has an Investment Management Services Agreement with AEFC. AEFC is paid
a fee  based  on the  following  schedule.  Each  class  of the  Fund  pays  its
proportionate share of the fee.
    

Assets                      Annual rate at
(billions)                  each asset level
- ---------                   ----------------
First       $1.0                  0.310%
Next         0.5                  0.293
Next         0.5                  0.275
Next         0.5                  0.258
Over         2.5                  0.240

   
On July 31,  1998,  the daily rate applied to the Fund's net assets was equal to
0.270% on an annual basis.  The fee is  calculated  for each calendar day on the
basis of the net  assets  of the Fund as of the  close of  business  of the full
business  day,  which  is two  business  days  prior  to the day for  which  the
calculation is being made.

The management fee is paid monthly.  Under the agreement,  the total amount paid
was  $9,928,579  for the year ended July 31,  1998,  $8,354,016  for fiscal year
1997, and $6,557,898 for fiscal year 1996.

Under the  agreement,  the Fund  also  pays  taxes,  brokerage  commissions  and
nonadvisory  expenses,  which include  custodian  fees;  audit and certain legal
fees;  fidelity bond premiums;  registration  fees for shares;  office expenses;
consultants'  fees;  compensation  of board  members,  officers  and  employees;
corporate filing fees; organizational expenses;  expenses incurred in connection
with lending  securities of the Fund; and expenses properly payable by the Fund,
approved by the board. Under the agreement,  the Fund paid nonadvisory expenses,
net of  earnings  credits,  of  $(367,393)  for the year  ended  July 31,  1998,
$1,045,237 for fiscal year 1997, and $1,851,127 for fiscal year 1996.

Administrative Services Agreement

The  Fund  has an  Administrative  Services  Agreement  with  AEFC.  Under  this
agreement,  the Fund  pays  AEFC for  providing  administration  and  accounting
services. The fee is calculated as follows:

Assets                      Annual rate
(billions)                  each asset level
- ---------                   ----------------
First       $1.0                  0.030%
Next         0.5                  0.027
Next         0.5                  0.025
Next         0.5                  0.022
Over         2.5                  0.020

   
On July 31,  1998,  the daily rate applied to the Fund's net assets was equal to
0.024% on an annual basis.  The fee is  calculated  for each calendar day on the
basis of net assets as of the close of business two  business  days prior to the
day for which the calculation is made.  Under the agreement,  the Fund paid fees
of $942,396 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998.
    

Transfer Agency Agreement

   
The Fund has a Transfer  Agency  Agreement with American  Express Client Service
Corporation   (AECSC).   This  agreement  governs  AECSC's   responsibility  for
administering and/or performing transfer agent functions,  for acting as service
agent in connection with dividend and distribution  functions and for performing
shareholder  account  administration  agent  functions  in  connection  with the
issuance,  exchange and redemption or repurchase of the Fund's shares. Under the
agreement,  AECSC will earn a fee from the Fund  determined by  multiplying  the
number of  shareholder  accounts at the end of the day by a rate  determined for
each class and dividing by the number of days in the year.  The rate for Class A
and Class Y is $20 per year and for  Class B is $21 per  year.  The fees paid to
AECSC may be changed  from time to time upon  agreement  of the parties  without
shareholder approval.  Under the agreement, the Fund paid fees of $7,089,268 for
the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998.
    

Distribution Agreement

For an  explanation  of the  Fund's  Distribution  Agreement,  please  see  your
prospectus.

Plan and Agreement of Distribution

   
For Class B shares,  to help AEFA defray the cost of distribution and servicing,
not covered by the sales charges received under the Distribution Agreement,  the
Fund and AEFA entered into a Plan and Agreement of  Distribution  (Plan).  These
costs cover
    

<PAGE>

almost all aspects of  distributing  the Fund shares except  compensation to the
sales force. A substantial portion of the costs are not specifically  identified
to any one fund in the IDS MUTUAL FUND GROUP. Under the Plan, AEFA is paid a fee
at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's  average daily net assets  attributable
to Class B shares.

   
The Plan must be  approved  annually  by the board,  including a majority of the
disinterested board members, if it is to continue for more than a year. At least
quarterly, the board must review written reports concerning the amounts expended
under the Plan and the purposes for which such  expenditures were made. The Plan
and any  agreement  related  to it may be  terminated  at any  time by vote of a
majority of board members who are not interested persons of the Fund and have no
direct or indirect  financial  interest in the  operation  of the Plan or in any
agreement  related  to the Plan,  or by vote of a  majority  of the  outstanding
voting  securities  of the  Fund's  Class B shares or by AEFA.  The Plan (or any
agreement related to it) will terminate in the event of its assignment,  as that
term is defined in the 1940 Act.  The Plan may not be  amended to  increase  the
amount  to be spent  for  distribution  without  shareholder  approval,  and all
material  amendments  to the Plan must be  approved  by a majority  of the board
members,  including  a  majority  of the board  members  who are not  interested
persons of the Fund and who do not have a financial interest in the operation of
the Plan or any  agreement  related  to it.  The  selection  and  nomination  of
disinterested  board members is the  responsibility  of the other  disinterested
board members.  No board member who is not an interested  person, has any direct
or  indirect  financial  interest  in the  operation  of the Plan or any related
agreement.  For the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998,  under the  agreement,  the
Fund paid fees of $863,705.
    

Custodian Agreement

The Fund's securities and cash are held by American Express Trust Company,  1200
Northstar Center West, 625 Marquette Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55402-2307, through a
custodian  agreement.  The  custodian is permitted to deposit some or all of its
securities  in central  depository  systems as allowed by federal  law.  For its
services,  the Fund pays the  custodian  a  maintenance  charge and a charge per
transaction in addition to reimbursing the custodian's out-of-pocket expenses.

Total fees and expenses

   
The Fund paid total fees and nonadvisory  expenses,  net of earnings credits, of
$18,456,555 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998.

APPENDIX A

DESCRIPTION OF MONEY MARKET SECURITIES

The types of instruments that form the major part of the Fund's  investments are
described below.

Certificates  of Deposit -- A  certificate  of deposit is a  negotiable  receipt
issued by a bank or savings and loan  association in exchange for the deposit of
funds. The issuer agrees to pay the amount deposited, plus interest, on the date
specified on the certificate.

Time Deposit -- A time deposit is a non-negotiable deposit in a bank for a fixed
period of time.

Bankers'  Acceptances -- A bankers'  acceptance  arises from a short-term credit
arrangement  designed to enable businesses to obtain funds to finance commercial
transactions.  It is a time draft  drawn on a bank by an exporter or an importer
to obtain a stated amount of funds to pay for specific merchandise. The draft is
then "accepted" by a bank that, in effect, unconditionally guarantees to pay the
face value of the instrument on its maturity date.

Commercial  Paper  --  Commercial  paper  is  generally   defined  as  unsecured
short-term  notes  issued in bearer form by large  well-known  corporations  and
finance  companies.  Maturities on  commercial  paper range from one day to nine
months.

Commercial  paper rated A by  Standard & Poor's  Corporation  has the  following
characteristics:   Liquidity  ratios  are  better  than  the  industry  average.
Long-term senior debt rating is "A" or better. The issuer has access to at least
two  additional  channels of  borrowing.  Basic  earnings  and cash flow have an
upward trend with  allowances  made for unusual  circumstances.  Typically,  the
issuer's industry is well  established,  the issuer has a strong position within
its industry and the  reliability  and quality of  management  is  unquestioned.
Issuers  rated  A are  further  rated  by use of  numbers  1, 2 and 3 to  denote
relative strength within this highest classification.

A Prime  rating is the  highest  commercial  paper  rating  assigned  by Moody's
Investors  Services Inc. Issuers rated Prime are further rated by use of numbers
1, 2 and 3 to denote relative strength within this highest classification. Among
the factors  considered  by Moody's in  assigning  ratings for an issuer are the
following:  (1)  management;  (2)  economic  evaluation  of the  industry and an
appraisal of speculative  type risks which may be inherent in certain areas; (3)
competition and customer acceptance of products;  (4) liquidity;  (5) amount and
quality of long-term debt; (6) ten year earnings trends;  (7) financial strength
of a parent company and the relationships  which exist with the issuer;  and (8)
recognition by management of obligations  which may be present or may arise as a
result of public interest questions and preparations to meet such obligations.

<PAGE>

Letters of Credit -- A letter of credit is a  short-term  note  issued in bearer
form with a bank letter of credit which provides that the bank pay to the bearer
the amount of the note upon presentation.

U.S.  Treasury Bills -- Treasury bills are issued with  maturities of any period
up to one year.  Three-month  and six-month  bills are currently  offered by the
Treasury on 13-week and 26-week cycles  respectively and are auctioned each week
by the Treasury.  Treasury bills are issued in book entry form and are sold only
on a discount  basis,  i.e., the  difference  between the purchase price and the
maturity value  constitutes  interest income for the investor.  If they are sold
before  maturity,  a portion of the income received may be a short-term  capital
gain.

U.S.  Government  Agency  Securities  --  Federal  agency  securities  are  debt
obligations  which  principally   result  from  lending  programs  of  the  U.S.
government.  Housing  and  agriculture  have  traditionally  been the  principal
beneficiaries  of Federal credit  programs,  and agencies  involved in providing
credit to agriculture and housing account for the bulk of the outstanding agency
securities.

Repurchase  Agreements -- A repurchase  agreement  involves the  acquisition  of
securities by the Fund,  with the concurrent  agreement by a bank (or securities
dealer if permitted by law or  regulation),  to reacquire the  securities at the
Fund's cost, plus interest, within a specified time. The Fund thereby receives a
fixed rate of return on this  investment,  one that is insulated from market and
rate  fluctuations  during  the  holding  period.  In  these  transactions,  the
securities  acquired by the Fund have a total value equal to or in excess of the
value of the  repurchase  agreement and are held by the Fund's  custodian  until
required.

Floating rate instruments -- These instruments pay interest at a rate tied to an
external  interest  rate.  The rate  changes  whenever  there is a change in the
external interest rate.

If AEFC becomes aware that a security owned by the Fund is downgraded  below the
second  highest  rating,  AEFC will either sell the security or recommend to the
Fund's board why it should not be sold.

<PAGE>

APPENDIX B

DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING

A technique that works well for many investors is one that eliminates random buy
and sell  decisions.  One such  system  is  dollar-cost  averaging.  Dollar-cost
averaging  involves building a portfolio through the investment of fixed amounts
of money on a regular basis  regardless of the price or market  condition.  This
may enable an  investor  to smooth  out the  effects  of the  volatility  of the
financial  markets.  By using this strategy,  more shares will be purchased when
the  price is low and less  when the price is high.  As the  accompanying  chart
illustrates,  dollar-cost averaging tends to keep the average price paid for the
shares lower than the average market price of shares  purchased,  although there
is no guarantee.

While this  technique  does not ensure a profit and does not  protect  against a
loss if the market  declines,  it is an effective way for many  shareholders who
can continue  investing on a regular basis through  changing market  conditions,
including times when the price of their shares falls or the market declines,  to
accumulate shares in a fund to meet long-term goals.

 Independent auditors' report


      The board and shareholders
      IDS Money Market Series, Inc.:



     We have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of assets and  liabilities,
     including the schedule of investments in securities, of IDS Cash Management
     Fund (a series of IDS Money Market  Series,  Inc.) as of July 31, 1998, and
     the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements
     of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year  period then
     ended,  and the financial  highlights for each of the years in the ten-year
     period ended July 31, 1998.  These  financial  statements and the financial
     highlights are the responsibility of fund management. Our responsibility is
     to  express  an opinion on these  financial  statements  and the  financial
     highlights based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
     standards.  Those  standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to
     obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements and the
     financial highlights are free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes
     examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
     in the  financial  statements.  Investment  securities  held in custody are
     confirmed to us by the  custodian.  An audit also  includes  assessing  the
     accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
     well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
     that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
     in all material  respects,  the financial  position of IDS Cash  Management
     Fund at July 31, 1998,  and the results of its  operations,  changes in its
     net assets,  and the  financial  highlights  for the periods  stated in the
     first paragraph  above, in conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting
     principles.

      IDS Cash Management Fund


  1

Summary of
significant
accounting policies



     The Fund is a series of IDS Money Market  Series,  Inc.  and is  registered
     under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (as  amended) as a  diversified,
     open-end management  investment  company.  The Fund invests in money market
     securities.  IDS Money Market Series, Inc. has 10 billion authorized shares
     of  capital  stock  that can be  allocated  among  the  separate  series as
     designated  by the  board.  The Fund  offers  Class A,  Class B and Class Y
     shares.  Class A shares have no sales charge. Class B shares may be subject
     to a contingent deferred sales charge and such shares automatically convert
     to Class A shares  during the ninth  calendar  year of  ownership.  Class Y
     shares  have  no  sales   charge  and  are  offered   only  to   qualifying
     institutional investors.

     All classes of shares have  identical  voting,  dividend,  liquidation  and
     other rights,  and the same terms and conditions,  except that the level of
     distribution fee and transfer agent fee (class specific  expenses)  differs
     among classes.  Income,  expenses (other than class specific  expenses) and
     realized and  unrealized  gains or losses on  investments  are allocated to
     each class of shares based upon its relative net assets.

     Significant accounting policies followed by the Fund are summarized below:

     Use of estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the
     financial  statements and the reported  amounts of increase and decrease in
     net assets from operations  during the period.  Actual results could differ
     from those estimates.

     Valuation of securities

     Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, all  securities  are valued daily at
     amortized  cost,  which  approximates  market value, in order to maintain a
     constant net asset value of $1 per share.

     Federal taxes

     Since the Fund's  policy is to comply  with all  sections  of the  Internal
     Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
     all of its  taxable  income to  shareholders,  no  provision  for income or
     excise taxes is required.

     Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
     financial  statement and tax purposes.  The character of distributions made
     during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ
     from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also,
     due to the  timing of  dividend  distributions,  the  fiscal  year in which
     amounts  are  distributed  may  differ  from the year  that the  income  or
     realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund.

     On the  statement  of assets  and  liabilities,  as a result  of  permanent
     book-to-tax  differences,  accumulated net realized loss has been decreased
     by $4,501 and paid-in capital has been decreased by $4,501.

     Dividends to shareholders

     Dividends from net investment  income,  declared daily and payable monthly,
     are  reinvested  in  additional  shares of the Fund at net  asset  value or
     payable in cash.

     Other

     Security  transactions  are  accounted  for  on  the  date  securities  are
     purchased or sold. Interest income,  including  amortization of premium and
     discount, is accrued daily.

Expenses and
sales charges

     Effective  March 20, 1995, the Fund entered into  agreements  with American
     Express  Financial  Corporation  (AEFC)  for  managing  its  portfolio  and
     providing  administrative services. Under an Investment Management Services
     Agreement,  AEFC determines  which  securities  will be purchased,  held or
     sold.  The  management  fee is a percentage of the Fund's average daily net
     assets in reducing percentages from 0.31% to 0.24% annually.

     Under an Administrative  Services  Agreement,  the Fund pays AEFC a fee for
     administration  and  accounting  services  at a  percentage  of the  Fund's
     average  daily  net  assets in  reducing  percentages  from  0.03% to 0.02%
     annually.  Additional  administrative service expenses paid by the Fund are
     office  expenses,  consultants'  fees  and  compensation  of  officers  and
     employees.  Under  this  agreement,  the Fund  also pays  taxes,  audit and
     certain legal fees,  registration  fees for shares,  compensation  of board
     members,  corporate  filing  fees,  organizational  expenses  and any other
     expenses properly payable by the Fund and approved by the board.

     Under a separate Transfer Agency Agreement, American Express Client Service
     Corporation (AECSC) maintains  shareholder  accounts and records.  The Fund
     pays  AECSC an annual  fee per  shareholder  account  for this  service  as
     follows: o Class A $20 o Class B $21 o Class Y $20

     Also  effective  March 20,  1995,  the Fund entered  into  agreements  with
     American Express  Financial  Advisors Inc. for distribution and shareholder
     servicing-related services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the
     Fund  pays a  distribution  fee at an  annual  rate of 0.75% of the  Fund's
     average   daily   net   assets   attributable   to  Class  B   shares   for
     distribution-related services.

     Sales  charges  received by American  Express  Financial  Advisors Inc. for
     distributing Class B shares were $749,999 for the year ended July 31, 1998.

     During the year ended July 31,  1998,  the Fund's  custodian  and  transfer
     agency fees were reduced by $2,832,192 as a result of earnings credits from
     overnight cash balances.

Item 27. Indemnification

The  Articles of  Incorporation  of the  registrant  provide that the Fund shall
indemnify  any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party,
by reason of the fact that she or he is or was a director,  officer, employee or
agent  of the  Fund,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of the  Fund  as a
director,  officer,  employee or agent of another  company,  partnership,  joint
venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  to any  threatened,  pending or completed
action,  suit or  proceeding,  wherever  brought,  and  the  Fund  may  purchase
liability  insurance  and advance  legal  expenses,  all to the  fullest  extent
permitted  by the laws of the State of  Minnesota,  as now existing or hereafter
amended.  The By-laws of the registrant provide that present or former directors
or  officers  of the Fund made or  threatened  to be made a party to or involved
(including as a witness) in an actual or threatened  action,  suit or proceeding
shall be indemnified by the Fund to the full extent  authorized by the Minnesota
Business Corporation Act, all as more fully set forth in the By-laws filed as an
exhibit to this registration statement.

<PAGE>

Insofar as  indemnification  for liability  arising under the  Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission
such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities  (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling  person of the registrant in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Any  indemnification  hereunder  shall not be  exclusive  of any other rights of
indemnification  to which the  directors,  officers,  employees  or agents might
otherwise  be  entitled.  No  indemnification  shall be made in violation of the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

Gentlemen:

I have  examined  the  Articles  of  Incorporation  and the By-Laws of IDS Money
Market  Series,  Inc.  (the Company) and all  necessary  certificates,  permits,
minute books,  documents and records of the Company, and the applicable statutes
of the  State  of  Minnesota,  and it is my  opinion  that  the  shares  sold in

Sincerely,



Leslie L. Ogg
