fund objectives
 
Zurich Money Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end, diversified, management
investment company offering a choice of three investment funds. Each fund
invests in high quality short-term money market instruments consistent with its
specific objective as outlined below. Like all money market funds, an investment
in these funds is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government
agency. Although money funds seek to preserve your investment at $1.00 per
share, it is possible to lose money.
 
 ZURICH MONEY MARKET FUND
 
This fund seeks maximum current income to the extent consistent with stability
of principal by investing primarily in commercial paper, securities of the U.S.
Government, its agencies, and bank certificates of deposit.
 
 ZURICH GOVERNMENT MONEY FUND
 
This fund seeks maximum current income to the extent consistent with stability
of principal by investing exclusively in obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
 
 ZURICH TAX-FREE MONEY FUND
 
This fund seeks maximum current income that is exempt from federal income taxes
to the extent consistent with stability of principal from a portfolio of
short-term, high quality tax-exempt municipal securities.
 
                                                                           --

variables affecting
performance

The investment manager invests in high-quality, short-term securities that are
consistent with each fund's specific objectives.
 
Our primary goal is to provide competitive yields while maintaining preservation
of principal and a high degree of liquidity. The specific securities portfolio
managers select have a major impact on reaching our goal. However, they must
continuously analyze other variables which affect share price stability and fund
performance. Traditionally, there are three important variables which are
factored into the decision-making process:

 MONETARY POLICY
Monetary Policy is managed by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") and has a
direct impact on short-term interest rates. If the Fed determines that inflation
is climbing, it will enact a policy to decrease or "tighten" the money supply.
With less money available, money lenders can command higher interest rates on
the money market securities they sell. On the other hand, if the Fed determines
the economy is heading toward a recession, it will increase or "ease" the money
supply. With more money for borrowers to access, the interest rates for money
market securities decline.
 
 INTEREST RATES
Interest Rates will affect money fund yields because as investments mature, the
cash received will be reinvested at current money market rates which could be
either higher or lower. Reinvesting at higher interest rates generally means
higher yields for money funds and reinvesting at lower rates generally means
lower yields.
 
 AVERAGE LENGTH OF MATURITY
Average Length of Maturity affects the timing of reinvesting cash from maturing
investments. If interest rates are expected to rise, decreasing the portfolio's
average length of maturity would enable the Fund to purchase higher-yielding
money market securities sooner. Conversely, if rates were expected to decrease,
the Fund would invest in money market securities with a longer length of
maturity in order to maintain higher yields longer.

 AN INTERVIEW WITH PORTFOLIO MANAGER FRANK RACHWALSKI
[RACHWALSKI PHOTO]
                             With three consecutive cuts in interest rates
                             during the last six months, the Federal Reserve
                             Board (the "Fed") had a big impact on money market
                             funds. Since yields will always move, with some
                             lag-time in the same direction as the Federal Funds
                             Rate, the six months covered in this report
                             (8/1/98 -- 1/31/99) proved to be challenging for
                             money market fund managers. Lead portfolio manager
                             Frank Rachwalski discusses market events and Zurich
                             Money Funds' performance during this time period.
 
                             ---------------------------------------------------
FRANK RACHWALSKI IS A MANAGING DIRECTOR OF SCUDDER KEMPER INVESTMENTS, INC. AND
LEAD PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF ZURICH MONEY FUNDS. MR. RACHWALSKI HOLDS A B.B.A. AND
AN M.B.A. DEGREE FROM LOYOLA UNIVERSITY.

 
Q       FRANK, PRIOR TO THE INTEREST RATE CUTS STARTING IN SEPTEMBER 1998, THE
        FED HAD LEFT INTEREST RATES UNCHANGED FOR OVER A YEAR. WITH A STABLE
        U.S. ECONOMY AND LOW EXPECTATION OF INFLATION, WHAT PROMPTED THE FED TO
CHANGE COURSE IN THEIR POLICY?
       -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
A       Several factors entered into the decision. The economic problems in Asia
        that surfaced toward the end of 1997 continued with political leadership
        in these countries unable to correct the situation. In addition,
economic problems in Russia and Latin America appeared. Eventually, the
financial turmoil overseas started to take its toll on the U.S. economy with the
stock market plunge in late August as investors fled to safer investments. In
fact, with foreign and domestic investors pouring money into U.S. Treasury
securities, the 30-Year Treasury bond was trading below the Fed Funds Rate for
the first time since 1989. The Fed needed to take action at this point to both

stabilize financial markets and provide some protection from slower economic
growth by lowering interest rates.
 
 
Q       DID THIS MOVE WORK?
 
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
A       Yes, it did. You saw a quick recovery in the stock market and investor
        concerns dissipated, which in turn brought the spread between long-term
        rates for U.S. Treasuries and the Fed Funds Rate more in line.
 

 
Q       HOW DID ALL THIS TURMOIL, INCLUDING THE THREE CONSECUTIVE CUTS IN
        INTEREST RATES AFFECT THE ZURICH MONEY FUNDS?
 
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
A      Invariably, the rate cuts caught up with the Funds. There is no way
       around it because money market funds invest in shorter maturities, so
       when the rates on short-term securities drop, the Funds' yields will
       follow.
 

 
Q       WHAT WAS YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY FOR THE FUNDS DURING THIS TIME, AND
        HOW DO YOU FEEL THEY PERFORMED GIVEN THIS MARKET CLIMATE?
       -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
A       At the beginning of this period, we wanted to extend maturities because
        we felt the Fed was going to lower interest rates, but with long-term
        issues unattractively priced, there wasn't any reward in extending.
However, when rates started getting more in balance toward the end of the year,
we selectively looked to extend and when the market offered value for longer
maturities, we took advantage of the opportunity. In all, I feel the Funds
performed as they should in a period of volatility and lowered interest rates.
 
                                                                       Continued

Q       WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING IN THE MARKETPLACE DURING THE NEXT SIX MONTHS
        AND WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE?

A       We see continued moderate growth without any increases in inflation. An
        extended period of Fed neutrality -- where they leave interest rates
        alone -- is anticipated. Based on this prediction, we're going to keep
the maturities of our investments in the neutral range -- between 25-30 days.
Our main goal is to search for value to ensure the consistent performance we
feel we have always provided our shareholders.

terms to know

             
7-DAY AVERAGE           Every money market fund calculates its yield according
YIELD                   to a standardized method prescribed by the Securities
                        and Exchange Commission. Each day's yield is an average
                        taken over a 7-day period. This average helps to
                        minimize the effect of daily fluctuation in fund income,
                        and therefore yield.
 
MATURITY                Maturity is the time remaining before an issuer is
                        scheduled to repay the principal amount on a debt 
                        security. Money market instruments are debt securities.
             
FEDERAL FUNDS           Commercial banks are required to keep these funds on
("FED FUNDS")           deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank in their district.
                        In order to meet these reserve requirements,
                        occasionally commercial banks need to borrow funds.
                        These funds are borrowed from banks that have an excess
                        of the required amount on hand in what is called the
                        "Fed Funds Market". The interest rate on these loans is
                        called the "Fed Funds Rate" and is the key money market
                        rate which influences all other short-term rates.
 
U.S. TREASURIES         These debt securities are issued by the U.S. Treasury
                        and include Treasury bills, Treasury bonds and Treasury
                        notes. They are considered to be the safest of all
                        securities. Their safety rests in the power of the U.S.
                        government to obtain tax revenues in order to repay its
                        obligations, and in its historical record of always
                        having done so.

notes to
portfolios of investments
Interest rates represent annualized yield to date of maturity, except for
variable rate securities described in Note (a). For each security, cost (for
financial reporting and federal income tax purposes) and carrying value are the
same. Likewise, carrying value approximates principal amount.
 
(a) Variable rate securities. The rates shown are the current rates at January
    31, 1999. The dates shown represent the demand date or the next interest
    rate change date. Securities in the Zurich Tax-Free Money Fund shown without
    a date are payable within five business days and are backed by credit
    support agreements from banks or insurance institutions.
 
(b) Illiquid securities. At January 31, 1999, the value of illiquid securities
    was $60,000,000 in the Zurich Money Market Fund, which represented 1.2% of
    net assets.
 
(c) Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities
    or U.S. Government Agency securities. All collateral is held at the Funds'
    custodian bank, Investors Fiduciary Trust Company, or at subcustodian banks,
    as indicated. The collateral is monitored daily by the Funds so that its
    market value exceeds the carrying value of the repurchase agreement.

 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS
Zurich Money Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company
organized as a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts currently offering
three investment funds ("Funds"). Zurich Money Market Fund invests primarily in
short-term high quality obligations of major banks and corporations. Zurich
Government Money Fund invests exclusively in obligations issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements
thereon. Zurich Tax-Free Money Fund invests in short-term high quality municipal
securities.
 
 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENT VALUATION. Investments are stated at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. In the event that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more
exists between a fund's $1.00 per share net asset value, calculated at amortized
cost, and the net asset value calculated by reference to market-based values, or
if there is any other deviation that the Board of Trustees believes would result
in a material dilution to shareholders or purchasers, the Board of Trustees will
promptly consider what action should be initiated.
 
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST INCOME. Investment transactions are
accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis and includes amortization of premium and discount on investments.
 
EXPENSES. Expenses arising in connection with a fund are allocated to that fund.
Other trust expenses are allocated among the Funds in proportion to their
relative net assets.
 
FUND SHARE VALUATION AND DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Fund shares are sold and
redeemed on a continuous basis at net asset value. On each day that the New York
Stock Exchange is open for trading, each fund determines its net asset value per
share (NAV) by dividing the total value of the Fund's investments and other
assets, less liabilities, by the number of fund shares outstanding. The NAV is
determined at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Central time for Zurich Money
Market Fund and Zurich Government Money Fund and at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Central time for Zurich Tax-Free Money Fund. Each fund declares a daily
dividend, equal to its net investment income for that day, payable monthly. Net
investment income consists of all interest income plus (minus) all realized
gains (losses) on portfolio securities, minus all expenses of the Fund.

<PAGE>   35
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. Each fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated
investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Accordingly, each fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal
income tax provision was required.
 
 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. The Funds have a management agreement with Scudder Kemper
Investments, Inc. (Scudder Kemper) and pay a monthly investment management fee
of 1/12 of the annual rate of .50% of the first $215 million of combined average
daily net assets declining to .25% of combined average daily net assets in
excess of $800 million. During the six months ended January 31, 1999, the Funds
incurred management fees of $8,527,000.
 
ZURICH/B.A.T MERGER. On September 7, 1998, Zurich Insurance Company (Zurich),
majority owner of Scudder Kemper, entered into an agreement with B.A.T
Industries p.l.c. (B.A.T) pursuant to which the financial services businesses of
B.A.T were combined with Zurich's businesses to form a new global insurance and
financial services company known as Zurich Financial Services. Upon consummation
of the transaction, the Trust's agreement with Scudder Kemper was deemed to have
been assigned and, therefore, terminated. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has
approved a new investment management agreement with Scudder Kemper, which is
substantially identical to the former investment management agreement, except
for the dates of execution and termination. Shareholders approved the new
investment management agreement through a proxy solicitation that concluded in
mid-December.
 
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES AGREEMENT. Pursuant to a services agreement with the Funds'
transfer agent, Kemper Service Company (KSvC) is the shareholder service agent
of the Trust. Under the agreement, KSvC received shareholder services fees of
$3,183,000 for the six months ended January 31, 1999.
 
OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES. Certain officers or trustees of the Trust are also
officers or directors of Scudder Kemper. During the six months ended January 31,
1999, the Trust made no payments to its officers and incurred trustees' fees of
$49,000 to independent trustees.
