                               Expense Information


This  information  is designed to help an investor  understand the various costs
and expenses of investing in Managed Intermediate Government Fund.

     1)   Shareholder  Transaction  Expenses:  Expenses  charged  directly to an
          individual account in the Fund for various transactions.

                                                                 NONE


     2)   Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses:  Expenses paid by the Fund before it
          distributed  its net investment  income,  expressed as a percentage of
          its average  daily net assets for the fiscal year ended  December  31,
          1995.

    Investment Management Fees (after waiver)                      0.14%*
    Payments to Banks and Other Institutions for                   
     Shareholder and Distribution Services                         0.01%+
    Other Expenses                                                 0.65%*
                                                                   ------
    Total Portfolio Operating Expenses                             0.80%*
                                                                   ======


Example

Based on the level of total Fund operating expenses listed above, the total
expenses relating to a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return and
redemption at the end of each period, are listed below. Investors do not pay
these expenses directly; they are paid by the Fund before it distributes its net
investment income to shareholders.

    One year                                                       $ 8
    Three years                                                     26
    Five years                                                      44
    Ten years                                                       99

See "Company  Organization--Investment  Adviser" for further  information  about
investment  management fees. This example assumes  reinvestment of all dividends
and  distributions  and that the  percentage  amounts  listed under "Annual Fund
Operating  Expenses"  remain  the same each  year.  This  example  should not be
considered a  representation  of past or future expenses or return.  Actual Fund
expenses and return vary from year to year and may be higher or lower than those
shown.


     *    Until  October 31, 1996,  the Adviser and certain of its  subsidiaries
          have agreed to waive portions of their fees payable by the Fund to the
          extent necessary so that the total annualized  expenses of the Fund do
          not exceed 0.80% of average  daily net assets.  If the Adviser and its
          subsidiaries  had  not  agreed  to  waive a  portion  of  their  fees,
          annualized  Fund expenses would have been:  investment  management fee
          0.65%, other expenses 0.94% and total operating expenses 1.59% for the
          fiscal year ended  December 31, 1995. To the extent that expenses fall
          below the current expense limitation, the Adviser and its subsidiaries
          reserve the right to recoup, during the fiscal year incurred,  amounts
          waived during the period,  but only to the extent that
          the Fund's expenses do not exceed 0.80%.


     +    To the extent that these payments may be deemed to be for distribution
          purposes,  long-term  shareholders  of the Fund may pay more  than the
          economic  equivalent of the maximum  front-end sales charges permitted
          by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.


"Payments  to Banks and Other  Institutions  for  Shareholder  and  Distribution
Services" represent payments made by the Company pursuant to special contractual
arrangements  with  banks  and  other  institutions  that  perform   shareholder
servicing  functions for the Company with respect to shares of the Fund owned by
customers  of such banks and  institutions.  These  shareholder  services  would
include  certain  services  that  otherwise  would have been  performed  for the
Company by its Transfer  Agent.  In  addition,  the Fund may pay service fees to
brokers and dealers, investment advisers and other institutions. For information
with respect to such  payments see  "Special  Arrangements  with Banks and Other
Institutions" and "Shareholder Service, Administration and Distribution Plan."

                        Investment Objective and Policies


     The  investment  objective of the Fund is to provide  investors with a high
level of current  income and to keep the price of its shares  more  stable  than
that of a long-term  bond. The Fund is not a fixed-price  money market fund, and
the value of its shares will fluctuate.  In seeking its investment  objective of
high  current  income,  the  Fund  will  not  invest  in  non-investment   grade
securities.  Except as otherwise indicated,  the Fund's investment objective and
policies are not fundamental and may be changed without a vote of  shareholders.
Shareholders will receive written notice of any changes in the Fund's objective.
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

     The Fund invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
or its agencies or instrumentalities and certain repurchase agreements described
below under  "Additional  Information  About Policies and Investments." The Fund
may also  invest  in  mortgage-related  pass-through  obligations  issued by the
Government National Mortgage Association,  Federal National Mortgage Association
and the Federal Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  ("pass-through  obligations");
purchase collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") issued by the Federal Home
Loan  Mortgage  Corporation,  Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  or other
agencies of the U.S. Government or instrumentalities established or sponsored by
the U.S.  Government;  and invest in zero coupon bonds.  Under  ordinary  market
conditions,  it is  expected  that  the  portfolio  of  the  Fund  will  have  a
dollar-weighted  average life of three to seven  years.  The Fund will limit its
investments to those which are eligible for federally-chartered credit unions.

     Obligations  of U.S.  Government  agencies and  instrumentalities  are debt
securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises and federal agencies.
Some of such  obligations  are supported by (a) the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Treasury (such as Government  National Mortgage  Association  participation
certificates),  (b) the limited  authority of the issuer to borrow from the U.S.
Treasury  (such as securities of the Federal Home Loan Bank),  (c) the authority
of the U.S.  Government to purchase  certain  obligations of the issuer (such as
securities of the Federal National Mortgage  Association) or (d) only the credit
of the  issuer.  In the case of  obligations  not  backed by the full  faith and
credit of the U.S., the investor must look  principally to the agency issuing or
guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment.

     A  pass-through  obligation  is a security  that  represents  an  ownership
interest  in a pool  of  mortgages  and  the  resultant  cash  flow  from  those
mortgages.  Payments  by  homeowners  on the loans in the pool flow  through  to
certificate holders in amounts sufficient to repay principal and to pay interest
at the pass-through  rate. The average lives of pass-through  obligations may be
shortened by unscheduled prepayments of principal and interest on the underlying
mortgages.  Variations in the maturities of pass-through obligations will affect
the Fund's yield.  Furthermore,  as with any debt  obligation,  fluctuations  in
interest  rates  will  inversely   affect  the  market  value  of   pass-through
obligations.  Moreover,  during periods of declining interest rates, prepayments
may  affect  the  Fund's   ability  to  maintain   positions  in   high-yielding
pass-through obligations. In the case of pass-through obligations purchased at a
premium,  such  premiums  may be lost as a result of a decrease  in value of the
pass-through  obligations due to such prepayments.  The Fund will invest only in
pass-through  obligations that are supported by the full faith and credit of the
U.S.  Government  (such as those  issued  by the  Government  National  Mortgage
Association)  or those that are  guaranteed by an agency of the U.S.  Government
(such as the Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  or the Federal  Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation).  Such guarantees are only for timely payment of principal
and/or interest and do not guarantee yield or protect against declines in market
value. The Fund will invest only in pass-through  obligations of U.S. Government
agencies or  instrumentalities  that meet the criteria as set forth above. There
is no  limitation  on the amount of the Fund's  assets  that may be  invested in
pass-through obligations.

     A CMO is a debt obligation backed by a portfolio of mortgages or

                                       4
<PAGE>

mortgage-backed  securities.  The issuer's  obligation to make interest and
principal  payments  is secured by the  underlying  portfolio  of  mortgages  or
mortgage-backed securities. Generally, a CMO is partitioned into several classes
with a ranked priority by which the classes of obligations are redeemed.

     In a CMO, a series of bonds or certificates is issued in multiple  classes.
Each class of CMOs,  often  referred to as a "tranche,"  is issued at a specific
fixed or  floating  coupon rate and has stated  maturity  or final  distribution
date. Principal  prepayments on the underlying mortgages or securities may cause
the CMOs to be retired  substantially  earlier than their stated  maturities  or
final distribution dates. Interest is paid or accrues on all classes of the CMOs
on a monthly,  quarterly or semi-annual  basis. The principal of and interest on
the  underlying  mortgages  or  securities  may be  allocated  among the several
classes of series of a CMO in innumerable  ways. In one  structure,  payments of
principal,  including any principal prepayments,  on the underlying mortgages or
securities are applied to the classes of a CMO in the order of their  respective
stated maturities or final  distribution  dates, so that no payment of principal
will be made on any  class of CMOs  until all other  classes  having an  earlier
stated maturity or final distribution date have been paid in full.

     The Fund may also invest in,  among  others,  parallel pay CMOs and Planned
Amortization  Class CMOs ("PAC  Bonds").  Parallel  pay CMOs are  structured  to
provide payments of principal on each payment date to more than one class. These
simultaneous  payments are taken into account in calculating the stated maturity
date or  final  distribution  date of  each  class,  which,  as with  other  CMO
structures,  must be retired by its stated  maturity date or final  distribution
date but may be retired  earlier.  PAC Bonds  generally  call for  payments of a
specified amount of principal on each payment date.

              Additional Information About Policies and Investments


Investment Restrictions

      The following investment restrictions and those described in the Statement
     of Additional Information are fundamental policies of the Fund that may be
changed only when permitted by law and approved by the holders of a majority of
the Fund's outstanding voting securities, as described under "Company
Organization" in the Statement of Additional Information.

     The Fund may not (1) issue  senior  securities,  borrow  money or pledge or
mortgage its assets, except that the Fund may borrow from banks up to 10% of the
current  value of the Fund's  total net assets for  temporary  purposes  only in
order to meet redemptions,  and these borrowings may be secured by the pledge of
not more than 10% of the  current  value of the  Fund's  total net  assets  (but
investments  may not be purchased by the Fund while any such borrowing  exists);
(2) make loans, except that the Fund may loan portfolio securities,  purchase or
hold a portion of an issue of publicly  distributed  bonds,  debentures or other
obligations,  and enter into repurchase agreements with respect to its portfolio
securities; or (3) invest an amount equal to 10% or more of the current value of
the  Fund's  total  assets  in  investments  that  are not  readily  marketable,
including  securities  restricted as to disposition  under the Securities Act of
1933, and repurchase  agreements  having  maturities of more than seven calendar
days.

     For a more  complete  description,  see  "Investment  Restrictions"  in the
Statement of Additional Information.

     Floating and Variable Rate Instruments. Certain of the obligations that the
Fund may purchase have a floating or variable rate of interest. Such obligations
bear  interest at rates that are not fixed,  but vary with  changes in specified
market rates or indices,  such as the Prime Rate,  and at  specified  intervals.
Certain of such  obligations  may carry a demand  feature  that would permit the
holder to tender  them back to the issuer at par value  prior to  maturity.  The
Fund will limit its purchase of floating and variable rate  obligations to those
of the same quality as it  otherwise  is allowed to  purchase.  The Adviser will
monitor on an ongoing  basis the ability of an issuer of a demand  instrument to
pay principal and interest on demand.  The Fund's right to obtain payment at par
on a demand  instrument could be affected by events  occurring  between the date
the Fund elects to demand  payment  and the date  payment is due that may affect
the ability of the issuer of the  instrument  to make payment  when due,  except
when  such  demand  instruments  permit  same  day  settlement.   To  facilitate
settlement, these same day demand instruments must be held in book entry form at
a bank other than the Fund's custodian, State Street

                                       5
<PAGE>

Bank and Trust Company (the  "Custodian"),  subject to a subcustodian  agreement
approved by the Fund between that bank and the Fund's Custodian.

     To the extent that floating and variable rate  instruments  without  demand
features  are not  readily  marketable,  they will be subject to the  investment
restriction  that the Fund may not invest an amount  equal to 10% or more of the
current value of its total assets in securities that are not readily marketable.

     Repurchase  Agreements.  The  Fund may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements
wherein the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase  that security
from the Fund at a mutually  agreed upon time and price.  Sellers of  repurchase
agreements are banks and dealers that meet  guidelines  established by the Board
of Directors.  The period of maturity is usually quite short, often overnight or
a few days,  although it may extend over a number of months.  The Fund may enter
into repurchase agreements only with respect to obligations that could otherwise
be purchased by the Fund. If the seller defaults and the value of the underlying
securities has declined,  the Fund may incur a loss. In addition,  if bankruptcy
proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, the Fund's
disposition of the security may be delayed or limited.

     When-Issued  Securities.  The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis,  in which case  delivery and payment  normally  take place within 45 days
after  the  date  of the  commitment  to  purchase.  The  Fund  will  only  make
commitments to purchase  securities on a when-issued basis with the intention of
actually acquiring the securities,  but may sell them before the settlement date
if  it is  deemed  advisable.  When-issued  securities  are  subject  to  market
fluctuation  and no income  accrues  to the  purchaser  prior to  issuance.  The
purchase  price and the interest  rate that will be received on debt  securities
are fixed at the time the  purchaser  enters into the  commitment.  Purchasing a
security on a when-issued  basis can involve a risk that the market price at the
time of delivery may be lower than the agreed upon purchase price, in which case
there could be an unrealized loss at the time of delivery.

     The Fund will  establish  a  segregated  account in which it will  maintain
liquid assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund's  commitments to
purchase when-issued securities. If the value of these assets declines, the Fund
will place additional  liquid assets in the account on a daily basis so that the
value of the assets in the  account is equal to the amount of such  commitments.

Portfolio Turnover


     Economic and market  conditions in 1993 and 1994  necessitated  more active
trading,  resulting in a higher  portfolio  turnover rate for the Fund. A higher
rate  involves  greater  transaction  costs to the Fund  and may  result  in the
realization of net capital gains,  which would be taxable to  shareholders  when
distributed.


             Special Arrangements with Banks and Other Institutions



     As more fully  described in the  Statement of Additional  Information,  the
Company  and the  Adviser  for the  Fund  may  enter  into  special  contractual
arrangements  with banks and other  institutions  (collectively,  "Participating
Organizations") that process substantial volumes of purchases and redemptions of
shares of the Fund for their  customers.  Under such  contractual  arrangements,
Scudder Service  Corporation (the "Transfer Agent") will ordinarily  maintain an
omnibus  account  for  a  Participating   Organization  and  the   Participating
Organization will maintain  sub-accounts for its customers for whom it processes
purchases  and   redemptions  of  shares.   The  Company  pays  a  Participating
Organization to the extent that it performs a shareholder servicing function for
the  Company  with  respect  to  shares of the Fund  owned  from time to time by
customers of the Participating  Organization.  These shareholder  services would
otherwise have been performed for the Company by its Transfer  Agent. In certain
cases,  the Adviser for the Fund may also pay a Participating  Organization  for
providing other administrative  services to its customers who invest in the Fund
where those services would  otherwise have been provided to  shareholders by the
Adviser. A Participating  Organization may charge its customers a fee, as agreed
upon by the  Participating  Organization  and the customer,  with respect to the
cash  management  or other  services it  provides.  Customers  of  Participating
Organizations should read this Prospectus in conjunction with the service


                                       6
<PAGE>

agreement  and other  literature  describing  the services and related fees that
will be provided by the Participating Organization to its customers prior to any
purchase of shares.

     There are currently unresolved issues with respect to existing federal laws
and  regulations  relating  to the  permissible  activities  of banks  and trust
companies, including the extent to which certain Participating Organizations may
perform the shareholder and administrative services described herein. A judicial
or  administrative  decision or  interpretation  with  respect to those laws and
regulations,  as well as  future  changes  in such laws and  regulations,  could
prevent certain Participating Organizations from performing these services. If a
Participating Organization were prohibited from performing these services, it is
expected  that  all  arrangements  between  the  Company,  the  Adviser  and the
Participating  Organization  would  be  terminated  and  that  customers  of the
Participating Organization who seek to invest in the Fund would have to purchase
and redeem shares  directly  through the Transfer  Agent.  

            Shareholder Service, Administration and Distribution Plan


     The Company's Board of Directors has adopted,  and the Fund's  shareholders
have approved, a Shareholder Service,  Administration and Distribution Plan (the
"Plan")  pursuant  to Rule 12b-1 under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act") on behalf of the Fund. Under the Plan,  Participating  Organizations
that enter into contractual  arrangements with the Company on behalf of the Fund
and the Adviser  for the Fund may receive up to 0.50% on an annual  basis of the
Fund's average daily net assets for any of shareholder  service,  administration
and distribution  assistance.  Of such fees, up to 0.25% may be paid by the Fund
and up to 0.25%  may be paid by the  Adviser  out of its  management  fee,  past
profits or any other sources  available to it. Under  existing  agreements,  the
Company  pays  fees to  Participating  Organizations  that  perform  shareholder
services for their  customers that would otherwise be performed by the Company's
Transfer Agent. In certain cases,  the Adviser for the Fund may also pay fees to
Participating Organizations for providing other administrative services to their
customers that would otherwise be provided by the Adviser. In addition, the Fund
may pay  service  fees to brokers and  dealers,  investment  advisers  and other
institutions. The Adviser of the Fund may make payments to all such institutions
for similar purposes. The fees payable to Participating  Organizations from time
to time shall,  within such limits,  be  determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company. Among the factors that will be considered in determining the amount
of fees  payable  to a  Participating  Organization  will be the  amount  of the
average  daily  net  assets  of  the  Fund  attributable  to  the  Participating
Organization,  the facilities that the  Participating  Organization  has for the
establishment of shareholder  accounts and records,  the processing of purchases
and redemptions of shares of the Fund, the automatic investment in shares of the
Fund of client account balances, the furnishing of assistance in handling client
inquiries  regarding the Fund and related  shareholder  services.  Participating
Organizations referred to above under "Special Arrangements with Banks and Other
Institutions" may be compensated for their services pursuant to the Plan.


                    Distribution and Performance Information

Dividends and Capital Gains Distributions


     The Company declares  dividends on the outstanding  shares of the Fund from
the  Fund's  net  investment  income  at  the  close  of  each  business  day to
shareholders of record at 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the previous business day.
Shares  purchased  will begin  earning  dividends  on the day after the purchase
order is executed and shares  redeemed  will earn  dividends  through the day of
redemption except that with respect to orders for shares for which federal funds
wires are  received  by 12:00 noon  (eastern  time) or if monies  are  otherwise
received in time to be invested by the Fund that same day, such shares purchased
will begin  earning  dividends  on the day the purchase  order is executed.  Net
investment  income for a  Saturday,  Sunday or  holiday  will be  declared  as a
dividend  on the next  business  day to  shareholders  of  record  at 4:00  p.m.
(eastern time) on the previous business day.


     Investment  income for the Fund  includes,  among  other  things,  interest
income and accretion of original issue discount.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Dividends  declared in and attributable to the preceding month will be paid
on the first  business day of each month.  Net  realized  capital  gains,  after
utilization of capital loss carryforwards, if any, will be distributed annually,
although an additional  distribution may be necessary to prevent the application
of a federal  excise  tax.  Dividends  and  distributions  will be  invested  in
additional  shares  of  the  Fund  at  net  asset  value  and  credited  to  the
shareholder's  account on the payment  date or, at the  shareholder's  election,
paid in  cash.  Dividend  checks  and  Statements  of  Account  will  be  mailed
approximately two business days after the payment date. The Fund forwards to the
Custodian the monies for dividends to be paid in cash on the payment date.

     Shareholders  of the Fund who redeem all their  shares  prior to a dividend
payment will receive, in addition to the redemption proceeds, dividends declared
but unpaid.  Such shareholders who redeem only a portion of their shares will be
entitled  to all  dividends  declared  but  unpaid  on such  shares  on the next
dividend payment date. (See also "Transaction Information--Redeeming Shares.")

Taxes

     The Fund has in the past qualified,  and intends to continue to qualify, as
a regulated  investment  company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (the  "Code").  The Fund will be treated  as a  separate  entity for tax
purposes and thus the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated  investment
companies  generally will be applied to the Fund separately,  rather than to the
Company as a whole. In addition,  net capital gains, net investment  income, and
operating expenses will be determined separately for the Fund. By complying with
the  applicable  provisions of the Code, the Fund will not be subject to federal
income  taxes  with  respect to net  investment  income  and net  capital  gains
distributed to its shareholders.  A 4% non-deductible excise tax will be imposed
on  the  Fund  to the  extent  the  Fund  does  not  meet  certain  distribution
requirements by the end of each calendar year.


     Dividends from net  investment  income  (including  realized net short-term
capital  gains in excess of net  long-term  capital  losses)  will be taxable as
ordinary  income for  federal  income tax  purposes.  Most  states  exempt  from
personal   income  tax  dividends  paid  by  a  regulated   investment   company
attributable  to interest  derived from  obligations of the U.S.  Government and
certain of its agencies and  instrumentalities.  For example,  shareholders of a
regulated  investment  company  will not be  subject  to New York  State or City
personal  income  tax on the  dividends  paid  by  such  a  fund  to the  extent
attributable  to interest on obligations  of the U.S.  Government and certain of
its agencies and  instrumentalities,  provided that at the close of each quarter
of the fund's  taxable year at least 50% of the value of the total assets of the
fund consists of such  obligations.  Dividends  paid by the Fund may qualify for
this  treatment.  The  Company  furnishes  each  shareholder  of  record  with a
statement of the portion of the previous  year's income  derived from:  (i) U.S.
Government Obligations and (ii) various agencies and instrumentalities,  each of
which is specified by name.

     Distributions  of net long-term  capital gains in excess of net  short-term
capital  losses,  if any, will be taxable as long-term  capital  gains,  whether
received in cash or reinvested in additional shares,  regardless of how long the
shareholder has held the shares.  Because substantially all of the income of the
Fund will arise from interest,  no part of the  distributions to shareholders is
expected  to  qualify  for  the   dividends-received   deduction   available  to
corporations.  Each year the  Company  will notify  shareholders  of the federal
income tax status of distributions.

     The Company will be required to withhold, subject to certain exemptions, at
a rate of 31% on dividends  paid or credited to individual  shareholders  and on
redemption  proceeds,  if a correct Social  Security or taxpayer  identification
number,  certified  when  required,  is not on file with the Company or Transfer
Agent. (See also "Transaction Information--Redeeming Shares.")


     Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding specific
questions as to federal, state or local taxes.

Performance Information


     From time to time,  quotations of the Fund's performance may be included in
advertisements, sales literature or shareholder reports. All performance figures
are historical,  show the  performance of a hypothetical  investment and are not
intended  to  indicate  future  performance.  The "SEC  yield" of the Fund is an
annualized  expression of the net income  generated by the Fund over a specified
30-day (one month) period, as a percentage of the Fund's share price on the last
day of the period. The yield is calculated  according to methods required by the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC"), and therefore may not equate to
the level of income paid to shareholders.  "Total return" is the change in value
of an investment in the Fund for a specified  period.  The "average annual total
return"  of the  Fund  is the  average  annual  compound  rate of  return  of an
investment  in the Fund assuming the  investment  has been held for one year and
the life of the Fund as of a  stated  ending  date.  "Cumulative  total  return"
represents  the  cumulative  change  in value of an  investment  in the Fund for
various  periods.  All  types  of  total  return  calculations  assume  that all
dividends and capital gains  distributions  during the period were reinvested in
shares of the Fund.  Performance  will vary  based  upon,  among  other  things,
changes in market conditions and the level of the Fund's expenses.


     Investors   who   purchase   and   redeem   shares  of  the  Fund   through
broker/dealers,  banks and other  institutions  may be subject  to service  fees
imposed by those entities with respect to the cash management and other services
they  provide.  Such fees will have the effect of reducing  the return for those
investors.  See "Special Arrangements with Banks and Other Institutions." Orders
placed by an investor  directly  with the Transfer  Agent will not be subject to
such fees.

                              Company Organization

     The Company was formed on June 18, 1982 as a corporation  under the laws of
the  State of  Maryland.  The  Company  is a  professionally  managed,  open-end
diversified  investment  company  registered  under the 1940 Act. The  Company's
activities  are  supervised by its Board of  Directors.  The Board of Directors,
under  applicable laws of the State of Maryland,  in addition to supervising the
actions of the Company's  Adviser and Distributor,  as set forth below,  decides
upon matters of general policy.


     On April 1, 1996, Summa Four, Inc. held of record and  beneficially  70.42%
of the  outstanding  shares of the Fund. To the extent that a shareholder is the
beneficial  owner of 25% or more of the  Fund's  outstanding  shares,  it may be
deemed to be a "control" person of the Fund for purposes of the 1940 Act.


     Shareholders have one vote for each share held on matters on which they are
entitled to vote. The Company is not required to and has no current intention of
holding  annual  shareholder  meetings,  although  meetings  may be  called  for
purposes such as electing or removing Directors, changing fundamental investment
policies or approving an investment  advisory  agreement.  Shareholders  will be
assisted in communicating  with other shareholders in connection with removing a
Director as if Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act were applicable.

Investment Adviser


     The Company retains the investment  management  firm of Scudder,  Stevens &
Clark,  Inc. (the "Adviser"),  a Delaware  corporation,  to manage the Company's
daily investment and business affairs subject to the policies established by the
Board  of  Directors.  The  Adviser  is one of the most  experienced  investment
counsel firms in the U.S. The Adviser was  established  in 1919 as a partnership
and was restructured as a Delaware  corporation in 1985. The principal source of
the Adviser's  income is  professional  fees received from providing  continuing
investment advice. The Adviser provides  investment counsel for many individuals
and  institutions,   including  insurance  companies,   endowments,   industrial
corporations and financial and banking  organizations.  As of December 31, 1995,
the  Adviser  and its  affiliates  had in excess  of $100  billion  under  their
supervision,  approximately  two-thirds  of which was  invested in  fixed-income
securities.


                                       9
<PAGE>

     Pursuant to the Investment  Advisory  Agreement (the  "Agreement") with the
Company on behalf of the Fund,  the  Adviser  regularly  provides  the Fund with
investment  research,  advice and  supervision  and  furnishes  continuously  an
investment  program for the Fund  consistent  with its investment  objective and
policies.  The  Agreement  further  provides  that  the  Adviser  will  pay  the
compensation and certain  expenses of all officers and certain  employees of the
Company  who are  affiliated  with the Adviser or its  affiliates  and will make
available to the Fund such of the Adviser's directors, officers and employees as
are  reasonably  necessary  for the Fund's  operations or as may be duly elected
officers or directors of the Company. Under the Agreement, the Adviser also pays
the Fund's office rent and provides investment advisory research and statistical
facilities  and all  clerical  services  relating to research,  statistical  and
investment  work. The Adviser,  including the Adviser's  employees who serve the
Fund, may render investment advice, management and other services to others.


     The Fund will bear all  expenses  not  specifically  assumed by the Adviser
under the terms of the Agreement,  including,  among others,  the fee payable to
the  Adviser  as  investment  adviser,  the  fees of the  Directors  who are not
"affiliated  persons" of the Adviser, the expenses of all Directors and the fees
and  out-of-pocket  expenses of the Company's  Custodian and the Transfer Agent.
For a more  detailed  description  of the expenses to be borne by the Fund,  see
"Investment   Adviser"  and   "Distributor"   in  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information.


     The Fund is  charged a  management  fee at an  annual  rate of 0.65% of its
average daily net assets. Management fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

Transfer Agent


     Scudder Service Corporation,  P.O. Box 2038, Boston, Massachusetts 02106, a
subsidiary  of  the  Adviser,  is  the  transfer,   shareholder   servicing  and
dividend-paying agent for the Company.


Distributor


     Scudder  Investor  Services,  Inc.,  a subsidiary  of the  Adviser,  is the
Company's principal underwriter (the "Distributor").  Scudder Investor Services,
Inc.  confirms,  as agent,  all  purchases of shares of the  Company.  Under the
Underwriting  Agreement with the Company,  the Distributor acts as the principal
underwriter and bears the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses to potential
investors and of any advertising  expenses incurred by it in connection with the
distribution of shares.


Custodian

     State Street Bank and Trust Company is the custodian for the Company.


Fund Accounting Agent

     Scudder  Fund  Accounting  Corporation,  a subsidiary  of the  Adviser,  is
responsible  for determining the daily net asset value per share and maintaining
the general accounting records of the Fund.


                             Transaction Information

Purchasing Shares


     While the Fund has no specific minimum initial investment  requirement,  it
is the Company's  policy  normally not to accept initial  investments in amounts
below  $100,000.  The minimum  subsequent  investment  for the Fund is $100. The
minimum investment requirement may be waived or lowered for investments effected
through banks and other institutions that have entered into special arrangements
with the Company and for investments  effected on a group basis by certain other
entities and their employees,  such as pursuant to a payroll  deduction plan and
for investments made in an Individual Retirement Account offered by the Company.
Investment  minimums  may also be  waived  for  Directors  and  Officers  of the
Company.  The  Company  and the  Distributor  reserve  the right to  reject  any
purchase order. All funds will be invested in full and fractional shares.


                                       10
<PAGE>

     Shares of the Fund may be  purchased  by writing or  calling  the  Transfer
Agent. Orders for shares of the Fund will be executed at the net asset value per
share next determined after an order has become effective. See "Share Price."

     Orders for shares of the Fund will become  effective at the net asset value
per share next  determined  after receipt by the Transfer Agent of a check drawn
on any member of the Federal  Reserve  System or by the Custodian of a bank wire
or Federal Reserve wire. Wire transmissions  may, however,  be subject to delays
of several hours, in which event the effectiveness of the order will be delayed.
Payments  by a bank wire other than the  Federal  Reserve  Wire  System may take
longer to be converted into federal funds.

     Checks drawn on a non-member bank or a foreign bank may take  substantially
longer to be  converted  into  federal  funds  and,  accordingly,  may delay the
execution  of an order.  Checks  must be  payable  in U.S.  dollars  and will be
accepted subject to collection at full face value.

     By  investing  in the Fund, a  shareholder  appoints the Transfer  Agent to
establish  an open  account  to which all  shares  purchased  will be  credited,
together with any dividends  and capital  gains  distributions  that are paid in
additional shares. See "Distribution and Performance  Information--Dividends and
Capital Gains Distributions."

Redeeming Shares

     Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a redemption  request in proper form,
shares of the Fund will be redeemed at its next determined net asset value.  See
"Share Price." For the  shareholder's  convenience,  the Company has established
several different redemption procedures.

     Payment  of  redemption  proceeds  may be made in  securities,  subject  to
regulation  by some state  securities  commissions.  The Company may suspend the
right of  redemption  during any period  when (i)  trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (the  "Exchange")  is restricted or the Exchange is closed,  other than
customary weekend and holiday closings, (ii) the SEC has by order permitted such
suspension or (iii) an emergency,  as defined by rules of the SEC, exists making
disposal of portfolio securities or determination of the value of the net assets
of the Fund not reasonably practicable.

     The  proceeds of  redemption  may be more or less than the amount  invested
and, therefore, a redemption may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes.

     A  shareholder's  account  in the  Fund  remains  open  for up to one  year
following complete redemption,  and all costs during the period will be borne by
the Fund.

     The  Company  reserves  the  right to  redeem  upon not less  than 30 days'
written  notice  the  shares in an  account  that has a value of $1,000 or less.
However,  any shareholder affected by the exercise of this right will be allowed
to make additional  investments  prior to the date fixed for redemption to avoid
liquidation of the account.

     The  Company  also  reserves  the  right,  following  30  days'  notice  to
shareholders, to redeem all shares in accounts without certified Social Security
or  taxpayer   identification  numbers.  A  shareholder  may  avoid  involuntary
redemption by providing the Company with a taxpayer identification number during
the 30-day notice period. 

Redemption by Mail

     1. Write a letter of  instruction.  Indicate the dollar amount or number of
shares to be redeemed.  Refer to the shareholder's  Fund account number and give
Social Security or taxpayer identification number (where applicable).

     2. Sign the letter in exactly  the same way the account is  registered.  If
there is more than one owner of the shares, all must sign.

     3.  If  shares  to be  redeemed  have a  value  of  $50,000  or  more,  the
signature(s)  must be  guaranteed  by a commercial  bank that is a member of the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  a trust  company,  a member firm of a
domestic  stock  exchange  or a  foreign  branch  of any of  the  foregoing.  In
addition, signatures may be guaranteed by other Eligible Guarantor Institutions,
i.e., other banks, other brokers and dealers,  municipal  securities brokers and
dealers,  government  securities  brokers and dealers,  credit unions,  national
securities exchanges, registered securities associations,  clearing agencies and
savings  associations.  The  Transfer  Agent,  however,  may  reject  redemption
instructions  if the  guarantor  is neither a member of nor a  participant  in a
signature guarantee program (currently known as "STAMPsm"). Signature guarantees
by notaries public are not acceptable. Further documentation,  such as copies of
corporate  resolutions  and  instruments  of  authority,  may be requested  from
corporations,  administrators,  executors, personal representatives, trustees or
custodians  to  evidence  the  authority  of the  person  or entity  making  the
redemption request.

     4. Mail the letter to the  Transfer  Agent at the  address  set forth under
"Purchasing Shares."

     Checks for  redemption  proceeds  will normally be mailed the day following
receipt of the request in proper form,  although the Company  reserves the right
to take up to seven days. Unless other  instructions are given in proper form, a
check for the proceeds of a redemption will be sent to the shareholder's address
of record.  The Custodian may benefit from the use of redemption  proceeds until
the check issued to a redeeming shareholder for such proceeds has cleared.

     When  proceeds  of a  redemption  are to be paid to someone  other than the
shareholder,  either  by  wire or  check,  the  signature(s)  on the  letter  of
instruction must be guaranteed regardless of the amount of the redemption.

Redemption by Expedited Redemption Service

     If  Expedited   Redemption   Service  has  been  elected  on  the  Purchase
Application  on file  with the  Transfer  Agent,  redemption  of  shares  may be
requested  by  telephoning  the  Transfer  Agent on any day the  Company and the
Custodian are open for business.

     No  redemption of shares  purchased by check will be permitted  pursuant to
the Expedited  Redemption  Service until seven  business days after those shares
have been credited to the shareholder's account.


     1.  Telephone the request to the Transfer  Agent by calling  toll-free from
any continental state: (800) 5CU-MEMBER, or


     2. Mail the  request to the  Transfer  Agent at the address set forth under
"Purchasing Shares."


     Proceeds of  Expedited  Redemptions  of $1,000 or more will be wired to the
shareholder's  bank  indicated  in the  Purchase  Application.  If an  Expedited
Redemption  request for the Fund is received by the Transfer  Agent by the close
of regular trading on the Exchange  (currently 4:00 p.m., eastern time) on a day
the Company and the  Custodian are open for business,  the  redemption  proceeds
will be  transmitted  to the  shareholder's  bank the following  business day. A
check for  proceeds  of less  than  $1,000  will be mailed to the  shareholder's
address  of  record.  In the case of  investments  in the Fund  that  have  been
effected  through  banks and other  institutions  that have entered into special
arrangements with the Company,  the full amount of the redemption  proceeds will
be transmitted by wire.


     The  Fund  uses  procedures  designed  to give  reasonable  assurance  that
telephone instructions are genuine, including recording telephone calls, testing
a caller's identity and sending written confirmation of telephone  transactions.
If the Fund does not follow such procedures,  it may be liable for losses due to
unauthorized or fraudulent telephone  instructions.  The Fund will not be liable
for acting  upon  instructions  communicated  by  telephone  that it  reasonably
believes to be genuine.

Redemption by Check Redemption Service

     If Check Redemption Service has been elected on the Purchase Application on
file  with  the  Transfer  Agent,  redemptions  of  shares  may be made by using
redemption checks provided by the Company. There is no charge for this service.

     No  redemption of shares  purchased by check will be permitted  pursuant to
the Check  Redemption  Service until seven business days after those shares have
been credited to the shareholder's account.

     1. Checks must be written for amounts of $500 or more.

     2. Checks may be payable to anyone and negotiated in the normal way.

     3. If more than one  shareholder  owns the shares,  all must sign the check
unless an election  has been made to require  only one  signature  on checks and
that election has been indicated on the Purchase Application.

     The  shareholder  should make certain that there are adequate shares in the
account  to  cover  the  amount  of  checks  written  under  this  service.   If
insufficient shares are in the account, or if checks are improperly signed, they
will not be honored.

     Shares represented by a redemption check will continue to earn daily income
until the check clears the banking system. When honoring a redemption check, the
Transfer Agent will redeem  exactly  enough full and  fractional  shares from an
account to cover the amount of the check.  The Check  Redemption  Service may be
terminated at any time by the Custodian or the Company.

Exchanging Shares

     Shares  of the Fund  that  have  been  held for  seven  days or more may be
exchanged for shares of one of the other funds of the Company in an  identically
registered  account.  Shares may be exchanged  for shares of another fund of the
Company only if shares of such fund may legally be sold under  applicable  state
laws.

                                       13
<PAGE>


     A shareholder may exchange shares by calling the Transfer Agent's toll-free
number at  1-800-854-8525.  Procedures  applicable  to  redemption of the Fund's
shares are also applicable to exchanging  shares. The proceeds of redemption may
be more or less than the amount invested and, therefore, a redemption may result
in a gain  or  loss  for  federal  income  tax  purposes.  The  Company  and the
Distributor  may modify or discontinue  exchange  privileges at any time upon 60
days'  notice.  A capital gain or loss for tax purposes may be realized  upon an
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed.


Share Price


     Net  asset  value  per share for the Fund is  determined  by  Scudder  Fund
Accounting Corporation, a subsidiary of the Adviser, on each day the Exchange is
open for trading. The net asset value of shares of the Fund is determined at the
close of regular trading on the Exchange,  which is currently 4:00 p.m. (eastern
time).  The net asset value per share of the Fund is  computed  by dividing  the
value of the total assets of the Fund, less all liabilities, by the total number
of outstanding shares of the Fund.


     The  value of  securities  of the  Fund is  determined  as of the  close of
regular  trading on the Exchange.  The Fund's  securities  are valued  utilizing
primarily  the latest bid  prices  or, if bid prices are not  available,  on the
basis of valuations  based on a matrix system,  both as furnished by a reputable
independent  pricing  service.  Debt securities  maturing in 60 days or less are
valued at  amortized  cost.  All other  securities  and other  assets  for which
current market  quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by the  Company's  Board of Directors and in accordance
with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.

     Because  of  the  difference  between  the  bid  and  asked  prices  of the
over-the-counter  securities  in  which  the Fund may  invest,  there  may be an
immediate  reduction  in the net asset value of the shares of the Fund after the
Fund has completed a purchase of such  securities,  since they will be valued at
the bid price but usually purchased at or near the asked price.

                               Expense Information


This  information  is designed to help an investor  understand the various costs
and expenses of investing in Managed Intermediate Government Fund.

     1)   Shareholder  Transaction  Expenses:  Expenses  charged  directly to an
          individual account in the Fund for various transactions.

                                                                 NONE

     2)   Annual Fund  Operating  Expenses:  Expenses paid by the Fund before it
          distributed  its net investment  income,  expressed as a percentage of
          its average  daily net assets for the fiscal year ended  December  31,
          1995.

    Investment Management Fees (after waiver)                      0.14%*
    Payments to Banks and Other Institutions for                   
     Shareholder and Distribution Services                         0.01%+
    Other Expenses                                                 0.65%*
                                                                   ------
    Total Portfolio Operating Expenses                             0.80%*
                                                                   ======

Example

Based on the level of total Fund operating expenses listed above, the total
expenses relating to a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return and
redemption at the end of each period, are listed below. Investors do not pay
these expenses directly; they are paid by the Fund before it distributes its net
investment income to shareholders.

    One year                                                       $ 8
    Three years                                                     26
    Five years                                                      44
    Ten years                                                       99

See "Company  Organization--Investment  Adviser" for further  information  about
investment  management fees. This example assumes  reinvestment of all dividends
and  distributions  and that the  percentage  amounts  listed under "Annual Fund
Operating  Expenses"  remain  the same each  year.  This  example  should not be
considered a  representation  of past or future expenses or return.  Actual Fund
expenses and return vary from year to year and may be higher or lower than those
shown.

     *    Until  October 31, 1996,  the Adviser and certain of its  subsidiaries
          have agreed to waive portions of their fees payable by the Fund to the
          extent necessary so that the total annualized  expenses of the Fund do
          not exceed 0.80% of average  daily net assets.  If the Adviser and its
          subsidiaries  had  not  agreed  to  waive a  portion  of  their  fees,
          annualized  Fund expenses would have been:  investment  management fee
          0.65%, other expenses 0.94% and total operating expenses 1.59% for the
          fiscal year ended  December 31, 1995. To the extent that expenses fall
          below the current expense limitation, the Adviser and its subsidiaries
          reserve the right to recoup, during the fiscal year incurred,  amounts
          waived during the period,  but only to the extent that
          the Fund's expenses do not exceed 0.80%.

     +    To the extent that these payments may be deemed to be for distribution
          purposes,  long-term  shareholders  of the Fund may pay more  than the
          economic  equivalent of the maximum  front-end sales charges permitted
          by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

"Payments  to Banks and Other  Institutions  for  Shareholder  and  Distribution
Services" represent payments made by the Company pursuant to special contractual
arrangements  with  banks  and  other  institutions  that  perform   shareholder
servicing  functions for the Company with respect to shares of the Fund owned by
customers  of such banks and  institutions.  These  shareholder  services  would
include  certain  services  that  otherwise  would have been  performed  for the
Company by its Transfer  Agent.  In  addition,  the Fund may pay service fees to
brokers and dealers, investment advisers and other institutions. For information
with respect to such  payments see  "Special  Arrangements  with Banks and Other
Institutions" and "Shareholder Service, Administration and Distribution Plan."

                        Investment Objective and Policies


     The  investment  objective of the Fund is to provide  investors with a high
level of current  income and to keep the price of its shares  more  stable  than
that of a long-term  bond. The Fund is not a fixed-price  money market fund, and
the value of its shares will fluctuate.  In seeking its investment  objective of
high  current  income,  the  Fund  will  not  invest  in  non-investment   grade
securities.  Except as otherwise indicated,  the Fund's investment objective and
policies are not fundamental and may be changed without a vote of  shareholders.
Shareholders will receive written notice of any changes in the Fund's objective.
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

     The Fund invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
or its agencies or instrumentalities and certain repurchase agreements described
below under  "Additional  Information  About Policies and Investments." The Fund
may also  invest  in  mortgage-related  pass-through  obligations  issued by the
Government National Mortgage Association,  Federal National Mortgage Association
and the Federal Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  ("pass-through  obligations");
purchase collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") issued by the Federal Home
Loan  Mortgage  Corporation,  Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  or other
agencies of the U.S. Government or instrumentalities established or sponsored by
the U.S.  Government;  and invest in zero coupon bonds.  Under  ordinary  market
conditions,  it is  expected  that  the  portfolio  of  the  Fund  will  have  a
dollar-weighted  average life of three to seven  years.  The Fund will limit its
investments to those which are eligible for federally-chartered credit unions.

     Obligations  of U.S.  Government  agencies and  instrumentalities  are debt
securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises and federal agencies.
Some of such  obligations  are supported by (a) the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Treasury (such as Government  National Mortgage  Association  participation
certificates),  (b) the limited  authority of the issuer to borrow from the U.S.
Treasury  (such as securities of the Federal Home Loan Bank),  (c) the authority
of the U.S.  Government to purchase  certain  obligations of the issuer (such as
securities of the Federal National Mortgage  Association) or (d) only the credit
of the  issuer.  In the case of  obligations  not  backed by the full  faith and
credit of the U.S., the investor must look  principally to the agency issuing or
guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment.

     A  pass-through  obligation  is a security  that  represents  an  ownership
interest  in a pool  of  mortgages  and  the  resultant  cash  flow  from  those
mortgages.  Payments  by  homeowners  on the loans in the pool flow  through  to
certificate holders in amounts sufficient to repay principal and to pay interest
at the pass-through  rate. The average lives of pass-through  obligations may be
shortened by unscheduled prepayments of principal and interest on the underlying
mortgages.  Variations in the maturities of pass-through obligations will affect
the Fund's yield.  Furthermore,  as with any debt  obligation,  fluctuations  in
interest  rates  will  inversely   affect  the  market  value  of   pass-through
obligations.  Moreover,  during periods of declining interest rates, prepayments
may  affect  the  Fund's   ability  to  maintain   positions  in   high-yielding
pass-through obligations. In the case of pass-through obligations purchased at a
premium,  such  premiums  may be lost as a result of a decrease  in value of the
pass-through  obligations due to such prepayments.  The Fund will invest only in
pass-through  obligations that are supported by the full faith and credit of the
U.S.  Government  (such as those  issued  by the  Government  National  Mortgage
Association)  or those that are  guaranteed by an agency of the U.S.  Government
(such as the Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  or the Federal  Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation).  Such guarantees are only for timely payment of principal
and/or interest and do not guarantee yield or protect against declines in market
value. The Fund will invest only in pass-through  obligations of U.S. Government
agencies or  instrumentalities  that meet the criteria as set forth above. There
is no  limitation  on the amount of the Fund's  assets  that may be  invested in
pass-through obligations.

     A CMO is a debt obligation backed by a portfolio of mortgages or

                                       4
<PAGE>

mortgage-backed  securities.  The issuer's  obligation to make interest and
principal  payments  is secured by the  underlying  portfolio  of  mortgages  or
mortgage-backed securities. Generally, a CMO is partitioned into several classes
with a ranked priority by which the classes of obligations are redeemed.

     In a CMO, a series of bonds or certificates is issued in multiple  classes.
Each class of CMOs,  often  referred to as a "tranche,"  is issued at a specific
fixed or  floating  coupon rate and has stated  maturity  or final  distribution
date. Principal  prepayments on the underlying mortgages or securities may cause
the CMOs to be retired  substantially  earlier than their stated  maturities  or
final distribution dates. Interest is paid or accrues on all classes of the CMOs
on a monthly,  quarterly or semi-annual  basis. The principal of and interest on
the  underlying  mortgages  or  securities  may be  allocated  among the several
classes of series of a CMO in innumerable  ways. In one  structure,  payments of
principal,  including any principal prepayments,  on the underlying mortgages or
securities are applied to the classes of a CMO in the order of their  respective
stated maturities or final  distribution  dates, so that no payment of principal
will be made on any  class of CMOs  until all other  classes  having an  earlier
stated maturity or final distribution date have been paid in full.

     The Fund may also invest in,  among  others,  parallel pay CMOs and Planned
Amortization  Class CMOs ("PAC  Bonds").  Parallel  pay CMOs are  structured  to
provide payments of principal on each payment date to more than one class. These
simultaneous  payments are taken into account in calculating the stated maturity
date or  final  distribution  date of  each  class,  which,  as with  other  CMO
structures,  must be retired by its stated  maturity date or final  distribution
date but may be retired  earlier.  PAC Bonds  generally  call for  payments of a
specified amount of principal on each payment date.

              Additional Information About Policies and Investments


Investment Restrictions

      The following investment restrictions and those described in the Statement
     of Additional Information are fundamental policies of the Fund that may be
changed only when permitted by law and approved by the holders of a majority of
the Fund's outstanding voting securities, as described under "Company
Organization" in the Statement of Additional Information.

     The Fund may not (1) issue  senior  securities,  borrow  money or pledge or
mortgage its assets, except that the Fund may borrow from banks up to 10% of the
current  value of the Fund's  total net assets for  temporary  purposes  only in
order to meet redemptions,  and these borrowings may be secured by the pledge of
not more than 10% of the  current  value of the  Fund's  total net  assets  (but
investments  may not be purchased by the Fund while any such borrowing  exists);
(2) make loans, except that the Fund may loan portfolio securities,  purchase or
hold a portion of an issue of publicly  distributed  bonds,  debentures or other
obligations,  and enter into repurchase agreements with respect to its portfolio
securities; or (3) invest an amount equal to 10% or more of the current value of
the  Fund's  total  assets  in  investments  that  are not  readily  marketable,
including  securities  restricted as to disposition  under the Securities Act of
1933, and repurchase  agreements  having  maturities of more than seven calendar
days.

     For a more  complete  description,  see  "Investment  Restrictions"  in the
Statement of Additional Information.

     Floating and Variable Rate Instruments. Certain of the obligations that the
Fund may purchase have a floating or variable rate of interest. Such obligations
bear  interest at rates that are not fixed,  but vary with  changes in specified
market rates or indices,  such as the Prime Rate,  and at  specified  intervals.
Certain of such  obligations  may carry a demand  feature  that would permit the
holder to tender  them back to the issuer at par value  prior to  maturity.  The
Fund will limit its purchase of floating and variable rate  obligations to those
of the same quality as it  otherwise  is allowed to  purchase.  The Adviser will
monitor on an ongoing  basis the ability of an issuer of a demand  instrument to
pay principal and interest on demand.  The Fund's right to obtain payment at par
on a demand  instrument could be affected by events  occurring  between the date
the Fund elects to demand  payment  and the date  payment is due that may affect
the ability of the issuer of the  instrument  to make payment  when due,  except
when  such  demand  instruments  permit  same  day  settlement.   To  facilitate
settlement, these same day demand instruments must be held in book entry form at
a bank other than the Fund's custodian, State Street

                                       5
<PAGE>

Bank and Trust Company (the  "Custodian"),  subject to a subcustodian  agreement
approved by the Fund between that bank and the Fund's Custodian.

     To the extent that floating and variable rate  instruments  without  demand
features  are not  readily  marketable,  they will be subject to the  investment
restriction  that the Fund may not invest an amount  equal to 10% or more of the
current value of its total assets in securities that are not readily marketable.

     Repurchase  Agreements.  The  Fund may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements
wherein the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase  that security
from the Fund at a mutually  agreed upon time and price.  Sellers of  repurchase
agreements are banks and dealers that meet  guidelines  established by the Board
of Directors.  The period of maturity is usually quite short, often overnight or
a few days,  although it may extend over a number of months.  The Fund may enter
into repurchase agreements only with respect to obligations that could otherwise
be purchased by the Fund. If the seller defaults and the value of the underlying
securities has declined,  the Fund may incur a loss. In addition,  if bankruptcy
proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, the Fund's
disposition of the security may be delayed or limited.

     When-Issued  Securities.  The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis,  in which case  delivery and payment  normally  take place within 45 days
after  the  date  of the  commitment  to  purchase.  The  Fund  will  only  make
commitments to purchase  securities on a when-issued basis with the intention of
actually acquiring the securities,  but may sell them before the settlement date
if  it is  deemed  advisable.  When-issued  securities  are  subject  to  market
fluctuation  and no income  accrues  to the  purchaser  prior to  issuance.  The
purchase  price and the interest  rate that will be received on debt  securities
are fixed at the time the  purchaser  enters into the  commitment.  Purchasing a
security on a when-issued  basis can involve a risk that the market price at the
time of delivery may be lower than the agreed upon purchase price, in which case
there could be an unrealized loss at the time of delivery.

     The Fund will  establish  a  segregated  account in which it will  maintain
liquid assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund's  commitments to
purchase when-issued securities. If the value of these assets declines, the Fund
will place additional  liquid assets in the account on a daily basis so that the
value of the assets in the  account is equal to the amount of such  commitments.

Portfolio Turnover

     Economic and market  conditions in 1993 and 1994  necessitated  more active
trading,  resulting in a higher  portfolio  turnover rate for the Fund. A higher
rate  involves  greater  transaction  costs to the Fund  and may  result  in the
realization of net capital gains,  which would be taxable to  shareholders  when
distributed.

             Special Arrangements with Banks and Other Institutions


     As more fully  described in the  Statement of Additional  Information,  the
Company  and the  Adviser  for the  Fund  may  enter  into  special  contractual
arrangements  with banks and other  institutions  (collectively,  "Participating
Organizations") that process substantial volumes of purchases and redemptions of
shares of the Fund for their  customers.  Under such  contractual  arrangements,
Scudder Service  Corporation (the "Transfer Agent") will ordinarily  maintain an
omnibus  account  for  a  Participating   Organization  and  the   Participating
Organization will maintain  sub-accounts for its customers for whom it processes
purchases  and   redemptions  of  shares.   The  Company  pays  a  Participating
Organization to the extent that it performs a shareholder servicing function for
the  Company  with  respect  to  shares of the Fund  owned  from time to time by
customers of the Participating  Organization.  These shareholder  services would
otherwise have been performed for the Company by its Transfer  Agent. In certain
cases,  the Adviser for the Fund may also pay a Participating  Organization  for
providing other administrative  services to its customers who invest in the Fund
where those services would  otherwise have been provided to  shareholders by the
Adviser. A Participating  Organization may charge its customers a fee, as agreed
upon by the  Participating  Organization  and the customer,  with respect to the
cash  management  or other  services it  provides.  Customers  of  Participating
Organizations should read this Prospectus in conjunction with the service

                                       6
<PAGE>

agreement  and other  literature  describing  the services and related fees that
will be provided by the Participating Organization to its customers prior to any
purchase of shares.

     There are currently unresolved issues with respect to existing federal laws
and  regulations  relating  to the  permissible  activities  of banks  and trust
companies, including the extent to which certain Participating Organizations may
perform the shareholder and administrative services described herein. A judicial
or  administrative  decision or  interpretation  with  respect to those laws and
regulations,  as well as  future  changes  in such laws and  regulations,  could
prevent certain Participating Organizations from performing these services. If a
Participating Organization were prohibited from performing these services, it is
expected  that  all  arrangements  between  the  Company,  the  Adviser  and the
Participating  Organization  would  be  terminated  and  that  customers  of the
Participating Organization who seek to invest in the Fund would have to purchase
and redeem shares  directly  through the Transfer  Agent.  

            Shareholder Service, Administration and Distribution Plan

     The Company's Board of Directors has adopted,  and the Fund's  shareholders
have approved, a Shareholder Service,  Administration and Distribution Plan (the
"Plan")  pursuant  to Rule 12b-1 under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act") on behalf of the Fund. Under the Plan,  Participating  Organizations
that enter into contractual  arrangements with the Company on behalf of the Fund
and the Adviser  for the Fund may receive up to 0.50% on an annual  basis of the
Fund's average daily net assets for any of shareholder  service,  administration
and distribution  assistance.  Of such fees, up to 0.25% may be paid by the Fund
and up to 0.25%  may be paid by the  Adviser  out of its  management  fee,  past
profits or any other sources  available to it. Under  existing  agreements,  the
Company  pays  fees to  Participating  Organizations  that  perform  shareholder
services for their  customers that would otherwise be performed by the Company's
Transfer Agent. In certain cases,  the Adviser for the Fund may also pay fees to
Participating Organizations for providing other administrative services to their
customers that would otherwise be provided by the Adviser. In addition, the Fund
may pay  service  fees to brokers and  dealers,  investment  advisers  and other
institutions. The Adviser of the Fund may make payments to all such institutions
for similar purposes. The fees payable to Participating  Organizations from time
to time shall,  within such limits,  be  determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company. Among the factors that will be considered in determining the amount
of fees  payable  to a  Participating  Organization  will be the  amount  of the
average  daily  net  assets  of  the  Fund  attributable  to  the  Participating
Organization,  the facilities that the  Participating  Organization  has for the
establishment of shareholder  accounts and records,  the processing of purchases
and redemptions of shares of the Fund, the automatic investment in shares of the
Fund of client account balances, the furnishing of assistance in handling client
inquiries  regarding the Fund and related  shareholder  services.  Participating
Organizations referred to above under "Special Arrangements with Banks and Other
Institutions" may be compensated for their services pursuant to the Plan.

                    Distribution and Performance Information

Dividends and Capital Gains Distributions

     The Company declares  dividends on the outstanding  shares of the Fund from
the  Fund's  net  investment  income  at  the  close  of  each  business  day to
shareholders of record at 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the previous business day.
Shares  purchased  will begin  earning  dividends  on the day after the purchase
order is executed and shares  redeemed  will earn  dividends  through the day of
redemption except that with respect to orders for shares for which federal funds
wires are  received  by 12:00 noon  (eastern  time) or if monies  are  otherwise
received in time to be invested by the Fund that same day, such shares purchased
will begin  earning  dividends  on the day the purchase  order is executed.  Net
investment  income for a  Saturday,  Sunday or  holiday  will be  declared  as a
dividend  on the next  business  day to  shareholders  of  record  at 4:00  p.m.
(eastern time) on the previous business day.

     Investment  income for the Fund  includes,  among  other  things,  interest
income and accretion of original issue discount.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Dividends  declared in and attributable to the preceding month will be paid
on the first  business day of each month.  Net  realized  capital  gains,  after
utilization of capital loss carryforwards, if any, will be distributed annually,
although an additional  distribution may be necessary to prevent the application
of a federal  excise  tax.  Dividends  and  distributions  will be  invested  in
additional  shares  of  the  Fund  at  net  asset  value  and  credited  to  the
shareholder's  account on the payment  date or, at the  shareholder's  election,
paid in  cash.  Dividend  checks  and  Statements  of  Account  will  be  mailed
approximately two business days after the payment date. The Fund forwards to the
Custodian the monies for dividends to be paid in cash on the payment date.

     Shareholders  of the Fund who redeem all their  shares  prior to a dividend
payment will receive, in addition to the redemption proceeds, dividends declared
but unpaid.  Such shareholders who redeem only a portion of their shares will be
entitled  to all  dividends  declared  but  unpaid  on such  shares  on the next
dividend payment date. (See also "Transaction Information--Redeeming Shares.")

Taxes

     The Fund has in the past qualified,  and intends to continue to qualify, as
a regulated  investment  company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (the  "Code").  The Fund will be treated  as a  separate  entity for tax
purposes and thus the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated  investment
companies  generally will be applied to the Fund separately,  rather than to the
Company as a whole. In addition,  net capital gains, net investment  income, and
operating expenses will be determined separately for the Fund. By complying with
the  applicable  provisions of the Code, the Fund will not be subject to federal
income  taxes  with  respect to net  investment  income  and net  capital  gains
distributed to its shareholders.  A 4% non-deductible excise tax will be imposed
on  the  Fund  to the  extent  the  Fund  does  not  meet  certain  distribution
requirements by the end of each calendar year.

     Dividends from net  investment  income  (including  realized net short-term
capital  gains in excess of net  long-term  capital  losses)  will be taxable as
ordinary  income for  federal  income tax  purposes.  Most  states  exempt  from
personal   income  tax  dividends  paid  by  a  regulated   investment   company
attributable  to interest  derived from  obligations of the U.S.  Government and
certain of its agencies and  instrumentalities.  For example,  shareholders of a
regulated  investment  company  will not be  subject  to New York  State or City
personal  income  tax on the  dividends  paid  by  such  a  fund  to the  extent
attributable  to interest on obligations  of the U.S.  Government and certain of
its agencies and  instrumentalities,  provided that at the close of each quarter
of the fund's  taxable year at least 50% of the value of the total assets of the
fund consists of such  obligations.  Dividends  paid by the Fund may qualify for
this  treatment.  The  Company  furnishes  each  shareholder  of  record  with a
statement of the portion of the previous  year's income  derived from:  (i) U.S.
Government Obligations and (ii) various agencies and instrumentalities,  each of
which is specified by name.

     Distributions  of net long-term  capital gains in excess of net  short-term
capital  losses,  if any, will be taxable as long-term  capital  gains,  whether
received in cash or reinvested in additional shares,  regardless of how long the
shareholder has held the shares.  Because substantially all of the income of the
Fund will arise from interest,  no part of the  distributions to shareholders is
expected  to  qualify  for  the   dividends-received   deduction   available  to
corporations.  Each year the  Company  will notify  shareholders  of the federal
income tax status of distributions.

     The Company will be required to withhold, subject to certain exemptions, at
a rate of 31% on dividends  paid or credited to individual  shareholders  and on
redemption  proceeds,  if a correct Social  Security or taxpayer  identification
number,  certified  when  required,  is not on file with the Company or Transfer
Agent. (See also "Transaction Information--Redeeming Shares.")

     Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding specific
questions as to federal, state or local taxes.

Performance Information

     From time to time,  quotations of the Fund's performance may be included in
advertisements, sales literature or shareholder reports. All performance figures
are historical,  show the  performance of a hypothetical  investment and are not
intended  to  indicate  future  performance.  The "SEC  yield" of the Fund is an
annualized  expression of the net income  generated by the Fund over a specified
30-day (one month) period, as a percentage of the Fund's share price on the last
day of the period. The yield is calculated  according to methods required by the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC"), and therefore may not equate to
the level of income paid to shareholders.  "Total return" is the change in value
of an investment in the Fund for a specified  period.  The "average annual total
return"  of the  Fund  is the  average  annual  compound  rate of  return  of an
investment  in the Fund assuming the  investment  has been held for one year and
the life of the Fund as of a  stated  ending  date.  "Cumulative  total  return"
represents  the  cumulative  change  in value of an  investment  in the Fund for
various  periods.  All  types  of  total  return  calculations  assume  that all
dividends and capital gains  distributions  during the period were reinvested in
shares of the Fund.  Performance  will vary  based  upon,  among  other  things,
changes in market conditions and the level of the Fund's expenses.

     Investors   who   purchase   and   redeem   shares  of  the  Fund   through
broker/dealers,  banks and other  institutions  may be subject  to service  fees
imposed by those entities with respect to the cash management and other services
they  provide.  Such fees will have the effect of reducing  the return for those
investors.  See "Special Arrangements with Banks and Other Institutions." Orders
placed by an investor  directly  with the Transfer  Agent will not be subject to
such fees.

                              Company Organization

     The Company was formed on June 18, 1982 as a corporation  under the laws of
the  State of  Maryland.  The  Company  is a  professionally  managed,  open-end
diversified  investment  company  registered  under the 1940 Act. The  Company's
activities  are  supervised by its Board of  Directors.  The Board of Directors,
under  applicable laws of the State of Maryland,  in addition to supervising the
actions of the Company's  Adviser and Distributor,  as set forth below,  decides
upon matters of general policy.

     On April 1, 1996, Summa Four, Inc. held of record and  beneficially  70.42%
of the  outstanding  shares of the Fund. To the extent that a shareholder is the
beneficial  owner of 25% or more of the  Fund's  outstanding  shares,  it may be
deemed to be a "control" person of the Fund for purposes of the 1940 Act.

     Shareholders have one vote for each share held on matters on which they are
entitled to vote. The Company is not required to and has no current intention of
holding  annual  shareholder  meetings,  although  meetings  may be  called  for
purposes such as electing or removing Directors, changing fundamental investment
policies or approving an investment  advisory  agreement.  Shareholders  will be
assisted in communicating  with other shareholders in connection with removing a
Director as if Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act were applicable.

Investment Adviser

     The Company retains the investment  management  firm of Scudder,  Stevens &
Clark,  Inc. (the "Adviser"),  a Delaware  corporation,  to manage the Company's
daily investment and business affairs subject to the policies established by the
Board  of  Directors.  The  Adviser  is one of the most  experienced  investment
counsel firms in the U.S. The Adviser was  established  in 1919 as a partnership
and was restructured as a Delaware  corporation in 1985. The principal source of
the Adviser's  income is  professional  fees received from providing  continuing
investment advice. The Adviser provides  investment counsel for many individuals
and  institutions,   including  insurance  companies,   endowments,   industrial
corporations and financial and banking  organizations.  As of December 31, 1995,
the  Adviser  and its  affiliates  had in excess  of $100  billion  under  their
supervision,  approximately  two-thirds  of which was  invested in  fixed-income
securities.

                                       9

     Pursuant to the Investment  Advisory  Agreement (the  "Agreement") with the
Company on behalf of the Fund,  the  Adviser  regularly  provides  the Fund with
investment  research,  advice and  supervision  and  furnishes  continuously  an
investment  program for the Fund  consistent  with its investment  objective and
policies.  The  Agreement  further  provides  that  the  Adviser  will  pay  the
compensation and certain  expenses of all officers and certain  employees of the
Company  who are  affiliated  with the Adviser or its  affiliates  and will make
available to the Fund such of the Adviser's directors, officers and employees as
are  reasonably  necessary  for the Fund's  operations or as may be duly elected
officers or directors of the Company. Under the Agreement, the Adviser also pays
the Fund's office rent and provides investment advisory research and statistical
facilities  and all  clerical  services  relating to research,  statistical  and
investment  work. The Adviser,  including the Adviser's  employees who serve the
Fund, may render investment advice, management and other services to others.

     The Fund will bear all  expenses  not  specifically  assumed by the Adviser
under the terms of the Agreement,  including,  among others,  the fee payable to
the  Adviser  as  investment  adviser,  the  fees of the  Directors  who are not
"affiliated  persons" of the Adviser, the expenses of all Directors and the fees
and  out-of-pocket  expenses of the Company's  Custodian and the Transfer Agent.
For a more  detailed  description  of the expenses to be borne by the Fund,  see
"Investment   Adviser"  and   "Distributor"   in  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information.

     The Fund is  charged a  management  fee at an  annual  rate of 0.65% of its
average daily net assets. Management fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

Underwriting  Agreement with the Company,  the Distributor acts as the principal

                             Transaction Information

Purchasing Shares

     While the Fund has no specific minimum initial investment  requirement,  it
is the Company's  policy  normally not to accept initial  investments in amounts
below  $100,000.  The minimum  subsequent  investment  for the Fund is $100. The
minimum investment requirement may be waived or lowered for investments effected
through banks and other institutions that have entered into special arrangements
with the Company and for investments  effected on a group basis by certain other
entities and their employees,  such as pursuant to a payroll  deduction plan and
for investments made in an Individual Retirement Account offered by the Company.
Investment  minimums  may also be  waived  for  Directors  and  Officers  of the
Company.  The  Company  and the  Distributor  reserve  the right to  reject  any
purchase order. All funds will be invested in full and fractional shares.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     Shares of the Fund may be  purchased  by writing or  calling  the  Transfer
Agent. Orders for shares of the Fund will be executed at the net asset value per
share next determined after an order has become effective. See "Share Price."

     Orders for shares of the Fund will become  effective at the net asset value
per share next  determined  after receipt by the Transfer Agent of a check drawn
on any member of the Federal  Reserve  System or by the Custodian of a bank wire
or Federal Reserve wire. Wire transmissions  may, however,  be subject to delays
of several hours, in which event the effectiveness of the order will be delayed.
Payments  by a bank wire other than the  Federal  Reserve  Wire  System may take
longer to be converted into federal funds.

     Checks drawn on a non-member bank or a foreign bank may take  substantially
longer to be  converted  into  federal  funds  and,  accordingly,  may delay the
execution  of an order.  Checks  must be  payable  in U.S.  dollars  and will be
accepted subject to collection at full face value.

     By  investing  in the Fund, a  shareholder  appoints the Transfer  Agent to
establish  an open  account  to which all  shares  purchased  will be  credited,
together with any dividends  and capital  gains  distributions  that are paid in
additional shares. See "Distribution and Performance  Information--Dividends and
Capital Gains Distributions."

Redeeming Shares

     Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a redemption  request in proper form,
shares of the Fund will be redeemed at its next determined net asset value.  See
"Share Price." For the  shareholder's  convenience,  the Company has established
several different redemption procedures.

     Payment  of  redemption  proceeds  may be made in  securities,  subject  to
regulation  by some state  securities  commissions.  The Company may suspend the
right of  redemption  during any period  when (i)  trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (the  "Exchange")  is restricted or the Exchange is closed,  other than
customary weekend and holiday closings, (ii) the SEC has by order permitted such
suspension or (iii) an emergency,  as defined by rules of the SEC, exists making
disposal of portfolio securities or determination of the value of the net assets
of the Fund not reasonably practicable.

     The  proceeds of  redemption  may be more or less than the amount  invested
and, therefore, a redemption may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes.

     A  shareholder's  account  in the  Fund  remains  open  for up to one  year
following complete redemption,  and all costs during the period will be borne by
the Fund.

     The  Company  reserves  the  right to  redeem  upon not less  than 30 days'
written  notice  the  shares in an  account  that has a value of $1,000 or less.
However,  any shareholder affected by the exercise of this right will be allowed
to make additional  investments  prior to the date fixed for redemption to avoid
liquidation of the account.

     The  Company  also  reserves  the  right,  following  30  days'  notice  to
shareholders, to redeem all shares in accounts without certified Social Security
or  taxpayer   identification  numbers.  A  shareholder  may  avoid  involuntary
redemption by providing the Company with a taxpayer identification number during
the 30-day notice period. 

Redemption by Mail

     1. Write a letter of  instruction.  Indicate the dollar amount or number of
shares to be redeemed.  Refer to the shareholder's  Fund account number and give
Social Security or taxpayer identification number (where applicable).

     2. Sign the letter in exactly  the same way the account is  registered.  If
there is more than one owner of the shares, all must sign.

     3.  If  shares  to be  redeemed  have a  value  of  $50,000  or  more,  the
signature(s)  must be  guaranteed  by a commercial  bank that is a member of the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  a trust  company,  a member firm of a
domestic  stock  exchange  or a  foreign  branch  of any of  the  foregoing.  In
addition, signatures may be guaranteed by other Eligible Guarantor Institutions,
i.e., other banks, other brokers and dealers,  municipal  securities brokers and
dealers,  government  securities  brokers and dealers,  credit unions,  national
securities exchanges, registered securities associations,  clearing agencies and
savings  associations.  The  Transfer  Agent,  however,  may  reject  redemption
instructions  if the  guarantor  is neither a member of nor a  participant  in a
signature guarantee program (currently known as "STAMPsm"). Signature guarantees
by notaries public are not acceptable. Further documentation,  such as copies of
corporate  resolutions  and  instruments  of  authority,  may be requested  from
corporations,  administrators,  executors, personal representatives, trustees or
custodians  to  evidence  the  authority  of the  person  or entity  making  the
redemption request.

     4. Mail the letter to the  Transfer  Agent at the  address  set forth under
"Purchasing Shares."

     Checks for  redemption  proceeds  will normally be mailed the day following
receipt of the request in proper form,  although the Company  reserves the right
to take up to seven days. Unless other  instructions are given in proper form, a
check for the proceeds of a redemption will be sent to the shareholder's address
of record.  The Custodian may benefit from the use of redemption  proceeds until
the check issued to a redeeming shareholder for such proceeds has cleared.

     When  proceeds  of a  redemption  are to be paid to someone  other than the
shareholder,  either  by  wire or  check,  the  signature(s)  on the  letter  of
instruction must be guaranteed regardless of the amount of the redemption.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Redemption by Expedited Redemption Service

     If  Expedited   Redemption   Service  has  been  elected  on  the  Purchase
Application  on file  with the  Transfer  Agent,  redemption  of  shares  may be
requested  by  telephoning  the  Transfer  Agent on any day the  Company and the
Custodian are open for business.

     No  redemption of shares  purchased by check will be permitted  pursuant to
the Expedited  Redemption  Service until seven  business days after those shares
have been credited to the shareholder's account.

     1.  Telephone the request to the Transfer  Agent by calling  toll-free from
any continental state: 1-800-854-8525, or

     2. Mail the  request to the  Transfer  Agent at the address set forth under
"Purchasing Shares."

     Proceeds of  Expedited  Redemptions  of $1,000 or more will be wired to the
shareholder's  bank  indicated  in the  Purchase  Application.  If an  Expedited
Redemption  request for the Fund is received by the Transfer  Agent by the close
of regular trading on the Exchange  (currently 4:00 p.m., eastern time) on a day
the Company and the  Custodian are open for business,  the  redemption  proceeds
will be  transmitted  to the  shareholder's  bank the following  business day. A
check for  proceeds  of less  than  $1,000  will be mailed to the  shareholder's
address  of  record.  In the case of  investments  in the Fund  that  have  been
effected  through  banks and other  institutions  that have entered into special
arrangements with the Company,  the full amount of the redemption  proceeds will
be transmitted by wire.

     The  Fund  uses  procedures  designed  to give  reasonable  assurance  that
telephone instructions are genuine, including recording telephone calls, testing
a caller's identity and sending written confirmation of telephone  transactions.
If the Fund does not follow such procedures,  it may be liable for losses due to
unauthorized or fraudulent telephone  instructions.  The Fund will not be liable
for acting  upon  instructions  communicated  by  telephone  that it  reasonably
believes to be genuine.

Redemption by Check Redemption Service

     If Check Redemption Service has been elected on the Purchase Application on
file  with  the  Transfer  Agent,  redemptions  of  shares  may be made by using
redemption checks provided by the Company. There is no charge for this service.

     No  redemption of shares  purchased by check will be permitted  pursuant to
the Check  Redemption  Service until seven business days after those shares have
been credited to the shareholder's account.

     1. Checks must be written for amounts of $500 or more.

     2. Checks may be payable to anyone and negotiated in the normal way.

     3. If more than one  shareholder  owns the shares,  all must sign the check
unless an election  has been made to require  only one  signature  on checks and
that election has been indicated on the Purchase Application.

     The  shareholder  should make certain that there are adequate shares in the
account  to  cover  the  amount  of  checks  written  under  this  service.   If
insufficient shares are in the account, or if checks are improperly signed, they
will not be honored.

     Shares represented by a redemption check will continue to earn daily income
until the check clears the banking system. When honoring a redemption check, the
Transfer Agent will redeem  exactly  enough full and  fractional  shares from an
account to cover the amount of the check.  The Check  Redemption  Service may be
terminated at any time by the Custodian or the Company.

Exchanging Shares

     Shares  of the Fund  that  have  been  held for  seven  days or more may be
exchanged for shares of one of the other funds of the Company in an  identically
registered  account.  Shares may be exchanged  for shares of another fund of the
Company only if shares of such fund may legally be sold under  applicable  state
laws.

                                       13
<PAGE>

     A shareholder may exchange shares by calling the Transfer Agent's toll-free
number at  1-800-854-8525.  Procedures  applicable  to  redemption of the Fund's
shares are also applicable to exchanging  shares. The proceeds of redemption may
be more or less than the amount invested and, therefore, a redemption may result
in a gain  or  loss  for  federal  income  tax  purposes.  The  Company  and the
Distributor  may modify or discontinue  exchange  privileges at any time upon 60
days'  notice.  A capital gain or loss for tax purposes may be realized  upon an
exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed.

Share Price

     Net  asset  value  per share for the Fund is  determined  by  Scudder  Fund
Accounting Corporation, a subsidiary of the Adviser, on each day the Exchange is
open for trading. The net asset value of shares of the Fund is determined at the
close of regular trading on the Exchange,  which is currently 4:00 p.m. (eastern
time).  The net asset value per share of the Fund is  computed  by dividing  the
value of the total assets of the Fund, less all liabilities, by the total number
of outstanding shares of the Fund.

     The  value of  securities  of the  Fund is  determined  as of the  close of
regular  trading on the Exchange.  The Fund's  securities  are valued  utilizing
primarily  the latest bid  prices  or, if bid prices are not  available,  on the
basis of valuations  based on a matrix system,  both as furnished by a reputable
independent  pricing  service.  Debt securities  maturing in 60 days or less are
valued at  amortized  cost.  All other  securities  and other  assets  for which
current market  quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by the  Company's  Board of Directors and in accordance
with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.

     Because  of  the  difference  between  the  bid  and  asked  prices  of the
over-the-counter  securities  in  which  the Fund may  invest,  there  may be an
immediate  reduction  in the net asset value of the shares of the Fund after the
Fund has completed a purchase of such  securities,  since they will be valued at
the bid price but usually purchased at or near the asked price.

The Company
                                   Scudder Fund, Inc. is a professionally
                                   managed, open-end, diversified investment
                                   company which offers the following four
                                   investment series: Managed Government
                                   Securities Fund (the "Government Fund"),
                                   Managed Federal Securities Fund (the "Federal
                                   Fund"), Managed Cash Fund (the "Cash Fund")
                                   and Managed Tax-Free Fund (the "Tax-Free
                                   Fund"), (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the
                                   "Funds"). See "Company Organization."


Objectives and Policies
                                   Each Fund seeks to provide investors with as
                                   high a level of current income as is
                                   consistent with its stated investment
                                   objective and policies and with preservation
                                   of capital and liquidity. Each Fund invests
                                   exclusively in high quality investments with
                                   remaining maturities of not more than 397
                                   days. Each Fund values its portfolio
                                   securities on the basis of amortized cost
                                   rather than at market value. Thus, although
                                   the market value of a portfolio may vary
                                   inversely to changes in prevailing interest
                                   rates and may be affected by changes in the
                                   creditworthiness of issuers of securities
                                   held in its portfolio and other market
                                   factors, each Fund expects to maintain a
                                   constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
                                   There is no assurance, however, that this can
                                   be achieved. 

                                   The Government Fund invests in obligations
                                   issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
                                   or its agencies or instrumentalities.

                                   The Federal Fund invests in obligations
                                   issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
                                   or its agencies or instrumentalities. The
                                   Fund seeks to attain the objective of as high
                                   a level of current income that cannot be
                                   subjected to state or local income tax by
                                   reason of federal law as is consistent with
                                   its other stated policies. Income from the
                                   Federal Fund may not be exempt from certain
                                   state and local taxes.

                                   The Cash Fund invests in obligations issued
                                   or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its
                                   agencies or instrumentalities, obligations of
                                   certain U.S. or foreign banks and their
                                   branches (such banks in each case to have
                                   total assets of at least $1 billion),
                                   corporate commercial paper and other
                                   short-term corporate obligations, and
                                   securities issued by or on behalf of states,
                                   cities, municipalities and other public
                                   authorities (which may or may not be exempt
                                   from federal income taxes). 

                                   The Tax-Free Fund invests in a broad range of
                                   securities issued by or on behalf of states,
                                   cities, municipalities and other public
                                   authorities ("municipal obligations") the
                                   income of which is exempt from federal income
                                   taxes. Income from the Tax-Free Fund may not
                                   be exempt from certain state and local taxes.

Additional Investment
Activities
                                   The Cash Fund may invest in obligations of
                                   foreign banks, which involve different risks
                                   than those associated with obligations of
                                   domestic banks. In addition, certain
                                   obligations in which each Fund may invest may
                                   have a floating or variable rate of interest.
                                   Certain obligations in which the Cash Fund
                                   and Tax-Free Fund invest may be backed by
                                   bank letters of credit. Each Fund may enter
                                   into repurchase agreements, and investments
                                   in any of the Funds may be purchased on a
                                   when-issued basis and with put features. Each
                                   of these investment practices entails certain
                                   risks. See "Additional Information About
                                   Policies and Investments."

                                   The Adviser receives monthly an investment

                                   billion of each Fund's average daily net
                                   assets and 0.35% of such assets in excess of
                                   $1.5 billion.

                                   requirement, it is the Company's policy
                                   normally not to accept initial investments in
                                   amounts below $100,000 for each Fund. The
                                   minimum subsequent investment for any Fund is
                                   $100. See "Transaction

Example

Based on the level of total Fund operating  expenses listed above, the total expenses  relating to a $1,000  investment,
assuming a 5% annual  return and  redemption  at the end of each period,  are listed  below.  Investors do not pay these
expenses directly; they are paid by each Fund before it distributes its net investment income to shareholders.

assumes  reinvestment  of all dividends and  distributions  and that the  percentage  amounts  listed under "Annual Fund
Operating  Expenses" remain the same each year. This example should not be considered a representation of past or future
expenses or return. Actual Fund expenses and return vary from year to year and may be higher or lower than those shown.


*    Until  October 31, 1996 the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its  investment  management  fee to the extent
     necessary so that the total annualized expenses of the Fund do not exceed 0.55% of average daily net assets. If the
     Adviser  had not agreed to waive a portion  of its fee,  annualized  Fund  expenses  would  have  been:  investment
     management fee 0.40%,  other expenses 0.46% and total  operating  expenses 0.86% for the fiscal year ended December
     31, 1995. To the extent that expenses fall below the current expense limitation,  the Adviser reserves the right to
     recoup,  during the fiscal year incurred,  amounts waived during the period, but only to the extent that the Fund's
     expenses do not exceed 0.55%.

                       Investment Objectives and Policies

     Set forth below is a description of the  investment  objective and policies
of each  Fund.  The  Funds  seek to  provide  investors  with as high a level of
current income through investment in high-quality  short-term  obligations as is
consistent with their investment  objectives and policies and with  preservation
of capital and liquidity.  The Federal Fund seeks to provide current income that
cannot be  subjected  to state and local taxes by reason of federal law, and the
Tax-Free Fund seeks to provide current income that is exempt from federal income
taxes.  Except as otherwise  indicated,  each Fund's  investment  objective  and
policies are not fundamental and may be changed without a vote of  shareholders.
Shareholders  will  receive  written  notice  of  any  changes  in  each  Fund's
objective.  There can be no  assurance  that any of the Funds will  achieve  its
investment objective.

     Securities  in which  the  Funds  invest  may not  yield as high a level of
current  income as  securities  of lower  quality  and longer  maturities  which
generally have less liquidity and greater market risk.

     Each Fund will maintain a  dollar-weighted  average  maturity of 90 days or
less in an effort to maintain a net asset value per share of $1.00, but there is
no assurance that it will be able to do so. 

Government Fund

     The  Government  Fund  seeks to provide  investors  with as high a level of
current  income  as  is  consistent  with  its  investment   policies  and  with
preservation  of  capital  and  liquidity.   The  Fund  invests  exclusively  in
obligations  issued or  guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government  or its  agencies or
instrumentalities  that have remaining  maturities of not more than 397 days and
certain repurchase agreements.

     In addition,  the Fund may invest in variable or floating rate obligations,
when-issued securities and securities with put features.

Federal Fund

     The Federal Fund seeks to provide investors with as high a level of current
income  that cannot be  subjected  to state or local  income  taxes by reason of
federal law as is consistent with its investment  policies and with preservation
of  capital  and  liquidity.  To  achieve  this  objective,   the  Fund  invests
exclusively in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government that have
remaining  maturities of not more than 397 days,  including securities issued by
the Federal  Farm Credit Banks  Funding  Corp.  and the Student  Loan  Marketing
Association,  and in certain  repurchase  agreements when in the judgment of the
Adviser this is advisable for liquidity  purposes,  in order to enhance yield or
in other circumstances such as when appropriate securities are not available.

     In addition,  the Fund may invest in variable or floating rate obligations,
when-issued securities and securities with put features.

Cash Fund

     The Cash Fund  seeks to provide  investors  with as high a level of current
income as is consistent  with its investment  policies and with  preservation of
capital  and  liquidity.  The  Fund  invests  exclusively  in a broad  range  of
short-term money market  instruments that have remaining  maturities of not more
than 397 days and certain  repurchase  agreements.  These securities  consist of
obligations  issued or  guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government  or its  agencies or
instrumentalities,  taxable and tax-exempt municipal obligations,  corporate and
bank  obligations,  certificates of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances and variable
amount master demand notes.

     The bank  obligations  in which  the Fund  may  invest  include  negotiable
certificates  of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances,  fixed time  deposits or other
short-term  bank  obligations.  The Fund  limits its  investments  in U.S.  bank
obligations  to  obligations  of U.S. banks  (including  foreign  branches,  the
obligations  of which are  guaranteed by the U.S.  parent) that have at least $1
billion  in  total  assets  at the  time of  investment.  "U.S.  banks"  include
commercial  banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or are examined
by the  Comptroller of the Currency or whose deposits are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, the Fund may invest in savings banks

                                       11
<PAGE>

and  savings and loan  associations  insured by the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  that have  total  assets in excess of $1 billion at the time of the
investment.  The Fund limits its investments in foreign bank obligations to U.S.
dollar-denominated  obligations of foreign banks (including U.S. branches) which
banks (based upon their most recent annual financial  statements) at the time of
investment  (i)  have  more  than  $10  billion,  or  the  equivalent  in  other
currencies,  in total assets;  (ii) are among the 100 largest banks in the world
as determined on the basis of assets; and (iii) have branches or agencies in the
U.S.; and which obligations, in the opinion of the Adviser, are of an investment
quality comparable to obligations of U.S. banks in which the Fund may invest.

     Fixed time deposits may be withdrawn on demand by the investor,  but may be
subject to early withdrawal  penalties that vary with market  conditions and the
remaining maturity of the obligations.  The Fund may not invest more than 10% of
the value of its total  assets in  investments  that are not readily  marketable
including fixed time deposits subject to withdrawal  penalties  maturing in more
than seven calendar days.

     The Fund may  invest  in U.S.  dollar-denominated  obligations  of  foreign
banks.  There is no  limitation  on the amount of the Fund's  assets that may be
invested in  obligations  of foreign  banks that meet the  conditions  set forth
above.  Such  investments  may involve  greater risks than those  affecting U.S.
banks or Canadian  affiliates of U.S. banks. In addition,  foreign banks are not
subject to examination by any U.S. Government agency or instrumentality.

     Except for obligations of foreign banks and foreign branches of U.S. banks,
the Fund will not invest in the securities of foreign  issuers.  Generally,  the
Fund may not invest  less than 25% of the current  value of its total  assets in
bank obligations (including bank obligations subject to repurchase agreements).

     The commercial paper purchased by the Fund is limited to direct obligations
of  domestic  corporate  issuers,   including  bank  holding  companies,   which
obligations, at the time of investment, are (i) rated "P-1" by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), "A-1" or better by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") or "F-1"
by Fitch  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Fitch"),  (ii) issued or guaranteed as to
principal and interest by issuers  having an existing  debt  security  rating of
"Aa" or better by Moody's or "AA" or better by S&P or Fitch, or (iii) securities
that, if not rated,  are of comparable  investment  quality as determined by the
Adviser in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.

     The Fund may invest in  non-convertible  corporate debt  securities such as
notes, bonds and debentures that have remaining  maturities of not more than 397
days and that are rated  "Aa" or better by  Moody's  or "AA" or better by S&P or
Fitch,  and variable amount master demand notes. A variable amount master demand
note differs from ordinary  commercial  paper in that it is issued pursuant to a
written agreement between the issuer and the holder. Its amount may from time to
time be increased by the holder  (subject to an agreed  maximum) or decreased by
the holder or the issuer and is payable on demand.  The rate of interest  varies
pursuant to an agreed-upon formula. Generally, master demand notes are not rated
by a rating agency.  However,  the Fund may invest in a master demand note that,
if not  rated,  is in  the  opinion  of the  Adviser  of an  investment  quality
comparable  to rated  securities  in which  the Fund  may  invest.  The  Adviser
monitors the issuers of such master  demand notes on a daily basis.  Transfer of
such  notes is  usually  restricted  by the  issuer,  and there is no  secondary
trading  market for such notes.  The Fund may not invest in a master demand note
if, as a result,  more  than 10% of the value of its total net  assets  would be
invested in such notes.

     All of the  securities  in which the Fund  will  invest  must  meet  credit
standards applied by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board
of Directors.  Should an issue of securities  cease to be rated or if its rating
is reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the Fund, the Adviser will
dispose of any such security,  as soon as  practicable,  unless the Directors of
the Company  determine  that such disposal would not be in the best interests of
the Fund.

     In addition,  the Fund may invest in variable or floating rate obligations,
obligations  backed  by bank  letters  of  credit,  when-issued  securities  and
securities with put features.

Tax-Free Fund

     The  Tax-Free  Fund  seeks  to  provide  investors  with as high a level of
current  income  that  cannot be  subjected  to federal  income tax by reason of
federal law as is consistent with its investment  policies and with preservation
of capital and liquidity.  The Fund invests primarily in high-quality  municipal
obligations  the interest on which is exempt from federal  income taxes and that
have remaining  maturities of not more than 397 days.  Opinions  relating to the
exemption  of interest on  municipal  obligations  from  federal  income tax are
rendered by bond counsel to the  municipal  issuer.  The Fund may also invest in
certain taxable obligations on a temporary defensive basis, as described below.

     From time to time the Fund may invest 25% or more of the  current  value of
its total assets in municipal obligations that are related in such a way that an
economic,  business  or  political  development  or  change  affecting  one such
obligation  would  also  affect  the other  obligations.  For  example,  certain
municipal obligations accrue interest that is paid from revenues of similar type
projects; other municipal obligations have issuers located in the same state.

     The Fund may elect,  pending the  investment of proceeds of sales of shares
or  proceeds  from  sales  of  portfolio   securities  or  in   anticipation  of
redemptions,  or to maintain a  "defensive"  posture when, in the opinion of the
Adviser,  it is  advisable  to do so  because  of market  conditions,  to invest
temporarily  up to 20% of the current value of its total assets in cash reserves
or taxable securities.  Under ordinary market conditions, the Fund will maintain
at least 80% of the value of its total  assets in  obligations  that are  exempt
from federal  income taxes and are not subject to the  alternative  minimum tax.
The foregoing  constitutes a fundamental  policy that cannot be changed  without
the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

     The  taxable  market is a broader  and more  liquid  market  with a greater
number of  investors,  issuers and market  makers than the market for  municipal
obligations. The more limited marketability of municipal obligations may make it
difficult   in  certain   circumstances   to   dispose   of  large   investments
advantageously. In addition, certain municipal obligations might lose tax-exempt
status in the event of a change in the tax laws.

     All of the  securities  in which the Fund  will  invest  must  meet  credit
standards applied by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board
of Directors.  Should an issue of securities  cease to be rated or if its rating
is reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the Fund, the Adviser will
dispose of any such security,  as soon as  practicable,  unless the Directors of
the Company  determine  that such disposal would not be in the best interests of
the Fund.

     In addition, the Fund may enter into repurchase  agreements,  and invest in
variable or floating  rate  obligations,  obligations  backed by bank letters of
credit, when-issued securities and securities with put features.

              Additional Information About Policies and Investments

Investment Restrictions

     The following investment  restrictions and those described in the Statement
of  Additional  Information  are  fundamental  policies of each Fund that may be
changed only when  permitted by law and approved by the holders of a majority of
such  Fund's  outstanding   voting  securities,   as  described  under  "Company
Organization" in the Statement of Additional Information.

     No Fund may (1) issue senior securities, borrow money or pledge or mortgage
its assets, except that each Fund may borrow from banks up to 10% of the current
value of such Fund's total net assets for  temporary  purposes  only in order to
meet redemptions,  and these borrowings may be secured by the pledge of not more
than 10% of the current  value of the Fund's  total net assets (but  investments
may not be purchased  by such Fund while any such  borrowing  exists);  (2) make
loans, except that each Fund may loan portfolio  securities,  purchase or hold a
portion  of  an  issue  of  publicly  distributed  bonds,  debentures  or  other
obligations,  and enter into repurchase agreements with respect to its portfolio
securities  and except that each Fund may purchase  negotiable  certificates  of
deposit and bankers' acceptances; or (3) invest an amount equal to 10% or more

                                       13
<PAGE>

of the current  value of such Fund's  total assets in  investments  that are not
readily marketable,  including securities restricted as to disposition under the
Securities Act of 1933,  repurchase  agreements  having  maturities of more than
seven days and,  in the case of the Cash Fund,  fixed time  deposits  subject to
withdrawal penalties having maturities of more than seven calendar days.

     For a more  complete  description,  see  "Investment  Restrictions"  in the
Statement of Additional Information.

     Obligations of U.S. Government Agencies and Instrumentalities.  Obligations
of U.S. Government agencies and  instrumentalities are debt securities issued or
guaranteed by U.S.  Government-sponsored  enterprises and federal agencies. Some
of such  obligations  are supported by (a) the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury  (such  as  Government  National  Mortgage  Association   participation
certificates),  (b) the limited  authority of the issuer to borrow from the U.S.
Treasury  (such as securities of the Federal Home Loan Bank),  (c) the authority
of the U.S.  Government to purchase  certain  obligations of the issuer (such as
securities of the Federal National Mortgage  Association) or (d) only the credit
of the  issuer.  In the case of  obligations  not  backed by the full  faith and
credit of the U.S., the investor must look  principally to the agency issuing or
guaranteeing  the  obligation  for  ultimate  repayment,  which  agency  may  be
privately  owned.  The Company  will invest in  obligations  of U.S.  Government
agencies  and  instrumentalities  only when the  Adviser is  satisfied  that the
credit risk with respect to the issuer is minimal.


     Floating and Variable Rate  Instruments.  Certain of the  obligations  that
each Fund may  purchase  have a floating  or  variable  rate of  interest.  Such
obligations  bear  interest  at rates  that are not  fixed,  but which vary with
changes in  specified  market rates or indices,  such as the Prime Rate,  and at
specified intervals. Certain of such obligations may carry a demand feature that
would  permit the holder to tender them back to the issuer at par value prior to
maturity. Each Fund may invest in floating and variable rate obligations even if
they  carry  stated  maturities  in excess of 397 days,  if  certain  conditions
contained in a rule of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission ( the "SEC") are
met, in which case the obligations  will be treated as having  maturities of not
more than 397 days.  Each Fund will limit its  purchase of floating and variable
rate obligations to those meeting the quality standards set forth above for such
Fund. The Adviser will monitor on an ongoing basis the earning power,  cash flow
and  other  liquidity  ratios  of the  issuers  of such  obligations,  and  will
similarly  monitor  the  ability  of an  issuer  of a demand  instrument  to pay
principal and interest on demand.  Each Fund's right to obtain payment at par on
a demand  instrument could be affected by events occurring  between the date the
Fund elects to demand  payment  and the date  payment is due that may affect the
ability of the issuer of the  instrument  to make payment when due,  except when
such demand  instruments permit same day settlement.  To facilitate  settlement,
the same day demand  instruments must be held in book entry form at a bank other
than the Fund's Custodian  subject to a subcustodian  agreement  approved by the
Fund between that bank and the Fund's Custodian.


     The  floating  and variable  rate  obligations  that the Funds may purchase
include certificates of participation in such obligations  purchased from banks.
A  certificate  of  participation  gives the Fund an  undivided  interest in the
underlying  obligations in the proportion that such Fund's interest bears to the
total  principal  amount of such  obligations.  Certain of such  certificates of
participation  may carry a demand feature that would permit the holder to tender
them back to the issuer prior to maturity.  The Funds may invest in certificates
of participation  even if the underlying  obligations carry stated maturities in
excess of one year, upon compliance with certain conditions  contained in a rule
of the SEC. The income received on certificates of  participation  in tax-exempt
municipal obligations constitutes interest from tax-exempt obligations.

     To the extent that floating and variable rate  instruments  without  demand
features  are not  readily  marketable,  they will be subject to the  investment
restriction  that no Fund  may  invest  an  amount  equal  to 10% or more of the
current value of its total assets in securities that are not readily marketable.

     Repurchase  Agreements.  Each Fund may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements
wherein the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase  that security
from the Fund at a mutually  agreed upon time and price.  Sellers of  repurchase
agreements  are banks that are issuers of eligible bank  obligations  (see "Cash
Fund" under "Investment Objectives and Policies" above) and dealers that meet

                                       14
<PAGE>

guidelines  established  by the Board of  Directors.  The period of  maturity is
usually quite short, often overnight or a few days,  although it may extend over
a number of months.  Each Fund may enter into  repurchase  agreements  only with
respect to obligations  that could otherwise be purchased by the Fund. While the
maturities of the  underlying  securities may be greater than one year, the term
of the repurchase agreement is always less than one year. If the seller defaults
and the value of the underlying  securities  has declined,  the Fund may incur a
loss. In addition,  if bankruptcy  proceedings are commenced with respect to the
seller of the security, the Fund's disposition of the security may be delayed or
limited.

      Municipal Obligations.  Municipal obligations,  which are debt obligations
issued  by or on behalf  of  states,  cities,  municipalities  and other  public
authorities,  and may be general obligation,  revenue, or industrial development
bonds, include municipal bonds, municipal notes and municipal commercial paper.

      The Tax-Free  Fund may invest in excess of 25% of its assets in industrial
development bonds subject to the Fund's fundamental  investment policy requiring
that it  maintain at least 80% of the value of its total  assets in  obligations
that are exempt from federal  income tax and are not subject to the  alternative
minimum  tax.  For  purposes  of the Fund's  fundamental  investment  limitation
regarding   concentration  of  investments  in  any  one  industry,   industrial
development  bonds will be considered  representative  of the industry for which
purpose that bond was issued.

      The Cash and Tax-Free Funds' investments in municipal bonds are limited to
bonds that are rated at the date of  purchase  "Aa" or better by Moody's or "AA"
or better by S&P or Fitch.

      The Funds'  investments  in municipal  notes will be limited to notes that
are rated at the date of purchase "MIG 1" or "MIG 2" (or "VMIG 1" or "VMIG 2" in
the case of an issue having a variable rate demand  feature) by Moody's,  "SP-1"
or "SP-1+" by S&P or "F-1" or "F-1+" by Fitch.

      Municipal  commercial paper is a debt obligation with a stated maturity of
270 days or less that is issued to finance  seasonal working capital needs or as
short-term  financing in anticipation of longer-term  debt. The Funds may invest
in  municipal  commercial  paper that is rated at the date of purchase  "P-1" by
Moody's,  "A-1" or "A-1+" by S&P or "F-1" by Fitch. If a municipal obligation is
not rated,  the Funds may  purchase  the  obligation  if, in the  opinion of the
Adviser,  it is of investment quality comparable to other rated investments that
are permitted in the Funds.

      Letters  of  Credit.  Municipal  obligations,  including  certificates  of
participation,  commercial paper and other short-term  obligations may be backed
by an  irrevocable  letter of credit of a bank which assumes the  obligation for
payment of principal  and  interest in the event of default by the issuer.  Only
banks which, in the opinion of the Adviser, are of investment quality comparable
to other  permitted  investments  of the Funds may be used for  letter of credit
backed investments.

      Securities with Put Rights. The Funds may enter into put transactions with
respect to obligations held in their portfolios with broker/dealers  pursuant to
a rule  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940 (the  "1940  Act") and with
commercial banks.

      The right of the Funds to exercise a put is unconditional and unqualified.
A put is not  transferable by a Fund,  although the Fund may sell the underlying
securities to a third party at any time. If necessary  and  advisable,  any Fund
may pay for certain puts either  separately  in cash or by paying a higher price
for portfolio  securities that are acquired subject to such a put (thus reducing
the yield to maturity  otherwise  available for the same securities).  The Funds
expect,  however,  that puts generally will be available  without the payment of
any direct or indirect consideration.

      The Funds may enter into puts only with banks or  broker/dealers  that, in
the opinion of the Adviser,  present  minimal  credit risks.  The ability of the
Funds to exercise a put will depend on the ability of the bank or  broker/dealer
to pay for the  underlying  securities at the time the put is exercised.  In the
event  that a  bank  or  broker/dealer  should  default  on  its  obligation  to
repurchase an underlying security,  the Fund might be unable to recover all or a
portion of any loss sustained from having to sell the security elsewhere.

                                       15
<PAGE>

      The Funds  intend to enter into puts solely to maintain  liquidity  and do
not intend to exercise their rights  thereunder for trading  purposes.  The puts
will only be for  periods  substantially  less  than the life of the  underlying
security.  The acquisition of a put will not affect the valuation by the Fund of
the  underlying  security.  The actual put will be valued at zero in determining
net asset value of the Funds.  Where a Fund pays  directly or  indirectly  for a
put,  its cost will be  reflected as an  unrealized  loss for the period  during
which the put is held by the Fund and will be reflected in realized gain or loss
when the put is exercised or expires.  If the value of the  underlying  security
increases,  the potential for unrealized or realized gain is reduced by the cost
of the put. The maturity of a municipal  obligation purchased by a Fund will not
be considered shortened by any put to which such obligation is subject.

      Third Party Puts. The Funds may also purchase  long-term  fixed rate bonds
that have  been  coupled  with an  option  granted  by a third  party  financial
institution allowing a Fund at specified  intervals,  not exceeding 397 calendar
days,  to tender (or "put") the bonds to the  institution  and  receive the face
value thereof (plus accrued  interest).  These third party puts are available in
several  different  forms,  may be  represented  by custodial  receipts or trust
certificates  and may be combined  with other  features  such as  interest  rate
swaps.  A Fund  receives a short-term  rate of interest  (which is  periodically
reset), and the interest rate differential  between that rate and the fixed rate
on the bond is retained by the financial institution.  The financial institution
granting the option does not provide credit  enhancement,  and in the event that
there is a default in the payment of principal or interest,  or downgrading of a
bond to below investment grade, or a loss of the bond's tax-exempt  status,  the
put  option  will  terminate  automatically,  the risk to a Fund will be that of
holding such a long-term bond and the  dollar-weighted  average  maturity of the
Fund would be adversely affected.

      When-Issued Securities. Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis,  in which case  delivery and payment  normally  take place within 45 days
after  the  date of the  commitment  to  purchase.  The  Funds  will  only  make
commitments to purchase  securities on a when-issued basis with the intention of
actually acquiring the securities,  but may sell them before the settlement date
if  it is  deemed  advisable.  When-issued  securities  are  subject  to  market
fluctuation  and no income  accrues  to the  purchaser  prior to  issuance.  The
purchase  price and the interest  rate that will be received on debt  securities
are fixed at the time the  purchaser  enters into the  commitment.  Purchasing a
security on a when-issued  basis can involve a risk that the market price at the
time of delivery may be lower than the agreed upon purchase price, in which case
there could be an unrealized loss at the time of delivery.

      Each Fund will  establish a segregated  account in which it will  maintain
liquid assets in an amount at least equal in value to that Fund's commitments to
purchase when-issued securities. If the value of these assets declines, the Fund
will place additional  liquid assets in the account on a daily basis so that the
value of the assets in the account is equal to the amount of such commitments.

             Special Arrangements with Banks and Other Institutions


      As more fully  described in the Statement of Additional  Information,  the
Company  and  the  Adviser  for  a  Fund  may  enter  into  special  contractual
arrangements  with banks and other  institutions  (collectively,  "Participating
Organizations") that process substantial volumes of purchases and redemptions of
shares of the Fund for their customers. Under such contractual arrangements, the
Transfer Agent will  ordinarily  maintain an omnibus account for a Participating
Organization and the Participating  Organization will maintain  sub-accounts for
its customers for whom it processes  purchases and  redemptions  of shares.  The
Company  pays a  Participating  Organization  to the extent  that it  performs a
shareholder  servicing  function  for the Company  with respect to shares of any
Fund owned from time to time by  customers  of the  Participating  Organization.
These  shareholder  services would otherwise have been performed for the Company
by its Transfer Agent.  In certain cases,  the Adviser for a Fund may also pay a
Participating  Organization for providing other  administrative  services to its
customers who invest in such Fund where those services would otherwise have been
provided to shareholders by the Adviser. A Participating Organization may charge
its customers a fee, as agreed upon by the  Participating  Organization  and the
customer,  with respect to the cash  management  or other  services it provides.
Customers  of  Participating   Organizations  should  read  this  Prospectus  in


                                       16
<PAGE>

conjunction  with the service  agreement  and other  literature  describing  the
services  and  related   fees  that  will  be  provided  by  the   Participating
Organization to its customers prior to any purchase of shares.

      There are  currently  unresolved  issues with respect to existing  federal
laws and regulations  relating to the permissible  activities of banks and trust
companies, including the extent to which certain Participating Organizations may
perform the shareholder and administrative services described herein. A judicial
or  administrative  decision or  interpretation  with  respect to those laws and
regulations,  as well as  future  changes  in such laws and  regulations,  could
prevent certain Participating Organizations from performing these services. If a
Participating Organization were prohibited from performing these services, it is
expected  that  all  arrangements  between  the  Company,  the  Adviser  and the
Participating  Organization  would  be  terminated  and  that  customers  of the
Participating  Organization  who seek to invest in a Fund would have to purchase
and redeem shares directly through the Transfer Agent.

            Shareholder Service, Administration and Distribution Plan


The Company's Board of Directors has adopted,  and each Fund's shareholders have
approved,  a Shareholder  Service,  Administration  and  Distribution  Plan (the
"Plan")  pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act on behalf of each Fund. Under
the Plan,  Participating  Organizations that enter into contractual arrangements
with the Company on behalf of a Fund and the Adviser for the Fund may receive up
to 0.50% on an annual basis of such Fund's  average  daily net assets for any of
shareholder service,  administration and distribution assistance.  Of such fees,
up to 0.25% may be paid by the Fund and up to 0.25%  may be paid by the  Adviser
out of its  management  fee, past profits or any other sources  available to it.
Under existing agreements, the Company pays fees to Participating  Organizations
that perform  shareholder  services for their  customers that would otherwise be
performed by the Company's  Transfer Agent. In certain cases,  the Adviser for a
Fund may  also  pay fees to  Participating  Organizations  for  providing  other
administrative  services to their  customers that would otherwise be provided by
the Adviser. In addition,  each of the Funds may pay service fees to brokers and
dealers,  investment  advisers and other  institutions.  The Adviser for each of
such Funds may make payments to all such institutions for similar purposes.  The
fees payable to Participating Organizations from time to time shall, within such
limits,  be  determined  by the Board of  Directors  of the  Company.  Among the
factors that will be considered in  determining  the amount of fees payable to a
Participating Organization will be the amount of the average daily net assets of
a Fund attributable to the Participating  Organization,  the facilities that the
Participating Organization has for the establishment of shareholder accounts and
records, the processing of purchases and redemptions of shares of that Fund, the
automatic  investment  in shares of that Fund of client  account  balances,  the
furnishing  of assistance in handling  client  inquiries  regarding the Fund and
related  shareholder  services.  Participating  Organizations  referred to above
under  "Special   Arrangements  with  Banks  and  Other   Institutions"  may  be
compensated for their services pursuant to the Plan.


                    Distribution and Performance Information

Dividends and Capital Gains Distributions


     The Company declares  dividends on the outstanding shares of each Fund from
each  Fund's  net  investment  income  at the  close  of  each  business  day to
shareholders  of record at 2:00 p.m.  (eastern time) on the day of  declaration.
Realized  capital gains and losses may be taken into account in determining  the
daily distribution. Shares purchased will begin earning dividends on the day the
purchase order is executed and shares  redeemed will earn dividends  through the
previous day. Net  investment  income for a Saturday,  Sunday or holiday will be
declared as a dividend on the previous business day to shareholders of record at
2:00 p.m. (eastern time) on that day.


     Investment income for a Fund includes,  among other things, interest income
and accretion of market and original issue discount and amortization of premium.

     Dividends  declared in and attributable to the preceding month will be paid
on the first  business day of each month.  Net  realized  capital  gains,  after
utilization of capital loss carryforwards, if any, will be distributed annually,
although an additional  distribution may be necessary to prevent the application
of a federal  excise  tax.  Dividends  and  distributions  will be  invested  in
additional shares of the same Fund at net asset value and credited to the

                                       17
<PAGE>

shareholder's  account on the payment  date or, at the  shareholder's  election,
paid in  cash.  Dividend  checks  and  Statements  of  Account  will  be  mailed
approximately  two business days after the payment  date.  Each Fund forwards to
the Custodian the monies for dividends to be paid in cash on the payment date.

      Shareholders  who redeem all their shares prior to a dividend payment will
receive, in addition to the redemption proceeds,  dividends declared but unpaid.
Shareholders  who redeem only a portion of their  shares will be entitled to all
dividends  declared but unpaid on such shares on the next dividend payment date.
(See also "Transaction Information--Redeeming Shares.") 

Taxes

      Each of the  Company's  Funds has in the past  qualified,  and  intends to
continue to qualify, as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986 (the  "Code").  Each Fund will be  treated  as a
separate  entity for tax purposes and thus the provisions of the Code applicable
to  regulated  investment  companies  generally  will be  applied  to each  Fund
separately,  rather than to the  Company as a whole.  In  addition,  net capital
gains,  net  investment  income,  and  operating  expenses  will  be  determined
separately  for each Fund. By complying  with the  applicable  provisions of the
Code,  each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes with respect to net
investment income and net capital gains  distributed to its  shareholders.  A 4%
non-deductible excise tax will be imposed on each Fund (except the Tax-Free Fund
to the extent of its  tax-exempt  income) to the extent  such Fund does not meet
certain distribution requirements by the end of each calendar year.

      Dividends from net investment  income  (including  realized net short-term
capital   gains  in   excess   of  net   long-term   capital   losses),   except
"exempt-interest  dividends"  (described  below),  will be taxable  as  ordinary
income for federal income tax purposes.  Most states exempt from personal income
tax dividends paid by a regulated  investment  company  attributable to interest
derived from obligations of the U.S.  Government and certain of its agencies and
instrumentalities.  For example,  shareholders of a regulated investment company
will  not be  subject  to New  York  State or City  personal  income  tax on the
dividends  paid  by  such a fund  to the  extent  attributable  to  interest  on
obligations   of  the  U.S.   Government   and  certain  of  its   agencies  and
instrumentalities,  provided  that at the close of each  quarter  of the  fund's
taxable year at least 50% of the value of the total assets of the fund  consists
of such obligations.  Dividends paid by the Federal Fund are intended to qualify
for this  treatment,  and  dividends  paid by the  Government  Fund may qualify.
Dividends  distributed by the Tax-Free Fund are not excluded in determining  New
York State or City franchise taxes on corporations  and financial  institutions.
In addition to the  distributions  described above, in the case of the dividends
distributed by the Tax-Free Fund, that part of the Fund's net investment  income
that  is  attributable  to  interest  from  tax-exempt  securities  and  that is
distributed   to   shareholders   will  be  designated  by  the  Company  as  an
"exempt-interest  dividend,"  and, as such,  will be exempt from federal  income
tax.  Income  from the  Federal  Fund and  Tax-Free  Fund may not be exempt from
certain state and local taxes.

      Distributions  of net long-term  capital gains in excess of net short-term
capital  losses,  if any, will be taxable as long-term  capital  gains,  whether
received in cash or reinvested in additional shares,  regardless of how long the
shareholder has held the shares. Because substantially all of the income of each
Fund will arise from interest,  no part of the  distributions to shareholders is
expected  to  qualify  for  the   dividends-received   deduction   available  to
corporations.  Each year the  Company  will notify  shareholders  of the federal
income tax status of distributions.

      In the  case  of  the  shareholders  of the  Tax-Free  Fund,  interest  on
indebtedness  incurred,  or  continued,  to purchase or carry shares of the Fund
will not be  deductible  for federal  income tax purposes to the extent that the
Fund's  distributions are exempt from federal income tax. In addition, a portion
of an exempt-interest  dividend allocable to certain tax-exempt  obligations may
be treated as a  preference  item for  purposes of the  alternative  minimum tax
imposed on both  individuals and  corporations.  Persons who may be "substantial
users" (or "related  persons" of  substantial  users) of facilities  financed by
private  activity  bonds should  consult  their tax advisors  before  purchasing
shares in the Tax-Free Fund.

                                       18
<PAGE>

      The Company will be required to withhold,  subject to certain  exemptions,
at a rate  of 31% on  dividends  paid or  credited  to  individual  shareholders
(except  shareholders  of  the  Tax-Free  Fund  to  the  extent  it  distributes
exempt-interest  dividends)  and on  redemption  proceeds,  if a correct  Social
Security or taxpayer  identification number,  certified when required, is not on
file   with  the   Company   or   Transfer   Agent.   (See   also   "Transaction
Information--Redeeming Shares.")

      The exemption of interest  income for federal  income tax purposes may not
result  in  similar  exemptions  under  the  tax  law of  state  and  local  tax
authorities.  In general,  interest earned on obligations issued by the state or
locality in which the investor resides may be exempt from state and local taxes.
State and local laws  differ,  however,  with  respect to the tax  treatment  of
dividends  attributable to interest on obligations  of: (i) the U.S.  Government
and certain of its agencies and instrumentalities and (ii) obligations of states
and  localities,  and  shareholders  should consult their tax advisors about the
taxability of dividends. The Company furnishes each shareholder of record with a
statement of the portion of the previous  year's income  derived from:  (i) U.S.
Government Obligations and (ii) various agencies and instrumentalities,  each of
which is specified by name.

     Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding specific
questions as to federal, state or local taxes.

Performance Information


      From time to time,  quotations of a Fund's  performance may be included in
advertisements, sales literature or shareholder reports. All performance figures
are historical,  show the  performance of a hypothetical  investment and are not
intended to indicate future performance.  The "yield" of a Fund refers to income
generated by an investment in a Fund over a specified seven-day period. Yield is
expressed  as an  annualized  percentage.  The  "effective  yield"  of a Fund is
expressed similarly but, when annualized,  the income earned by an investment in
a Fund is assumed to be reinvested and will reflect the effects of  compounding.
"Total return" is the change in value of an investment in a Fund for a specified
period.  The  "average  annual  total  return" of a Fund is the  average  annual
compound rate of return of an investment in a Fund assuming the  investment  has
been held for one year,  five years and ten years as of a stated ending date. If
a Fund has not been in  operation  for at least ten years,  the life of the Fund
will  be  used  where  applicable.  "Cumulative  total  return"  represents  the
cumulative  change in value of an investment in a Fund for various periods.  All
types of total return  calculations  assume that all dividends and capital gains
distributions during the period were reinvested in shares of a Fund. Performance
will vary based upon, among other things,  changes in market  conditions and the
level of a Fund's expenses.


      Investors   who   purchase   and  redeem   shares  of  any  Fund   through
broker/dealers,  banks and other  institutions  may be subject  to service  fees
imposed by those entities with respect to the cash management and other services
they  provide.  Such fees will have the effect of reducing  the return for those
investors.  See "Special Arrangements with Banks and Other Institutions." Orders
placed by an investor  directly  with the Transfer  Agent will not be subject to
such fees.

                              Company Organization

      The Company was formed on June 18, 1982 as a corporation under the laws of
the  State of  Maryland.  The  Company  is a  professionally  managed,  open-end
diversified  investment  company  registered  under the 1940 Act. The  Company's
activities  are  supervised by its Board of  Directors.  The Board of Directors,
under  applicable laws of the State of Maryland,  in addition to supervising the
actions of the Company's  Adviser and Distributor,  as set forth below,  decides
upon matters of general policy.

      Shareholders  have one vote for each  share  held on matters on which they
are  entitled  to  vote.  The  Company  is not  required  to and has no  current
intention  of holding  annual  shareholder  meetings,  although  meetings may be
called for purposes such as electing or removing Directors, changing fundamental
investment policies or approving an investment advisory agreement.  Shareholders
will be assisted in  communicating  with other  shareholders  in connection with
removing a Director as if Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act were applicable.

                                       19

Investment Adviser


      The Company retains the investment  management firm of Scudder,  Stevens &
Clark,  Inc. (the "Adviser"),  a Delaware  corporation,  to manage the Company's
daily investment and business affairs subject to the policies established by the
Board  of  Directors.  The  Adviser  is one of the most  experienced  investment
counsel firms in the U.S. The Adviser was  established  in 1919 as a partnership
and was restructured as a Delaware  corporation in 1985. The principal source of
the Adviser's  income is  professional  fees received from providing  continuing
investment advice. The Adviser provides  investment counsel for many individuals
and  institutions,   including  insurance  companies,   endowments,   industrial
corporations and financial and banking  organizations.  As of December 31, 1995,
the  Adviser  and its  affiliates  had in excess  of $100  billion  under  their
supervision,  approximately  two-thirds  of which was  invested in  fixed-income
securities.


      Pursuant to Investment  Advisory  Agreements (the  "Agreements")  with the
Company on behalf of each Fund,  the Adviser  regularly  provides each Fund with
investment  research,  advice and  supervision  and  furnishes  continuously  an
investment  program for each Fund consistent  with its investment  objective and
policies.  The  Agreements  further  provide  that  the  Adviser  will  pay  the
compensation and certain  expenses of all officers and certain  employees of the
Company and make  available to each such Fund such of the  Adviser's  directors,
officers and employees as are reasonably necessary for such Fund's operations or
as  may be  duly  elected  officers  or  directors  of the  Company.  Under  the
Agreements, the Adviser pays each Fund's office rent and will provide investment
advisory research and statistical  facilities and all clerical services relating
to  research,  statistical  and  investment  work.  The Adviser,  including  the
Adviser's   employees  who  serve  the  Funds,  may  render  investment  advice,
management and other services to others.

      Each Fund will bear all expenses not  specifically  assumed by the Adviser
under the terms of the Agreements,  including,  among others, the fee payable to
the  Adviser  as  investment  adviser,  the  fees of the  Directors  who are not
"affiliated  persons" of the Adviser, the expenses of all Directors and the fees
and  out-of-pocket  expenses of the Company's  Custodian and its Transfer Agent.
For a more complete  description  of the expenses to be borne by the Funds,  see
"Investment   Adviser"  and   "Distributor"   in  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information.

      Each Fund is charged a management  fee at an annual rate equal to 0.40% of
the first $1.5  billion of average  daily net assets and 0.35% of such assets in
excess of $1.5 billion. Management fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

Transfer Agent


     Scudder Service Corporation,  P.O. Box 2038, Boston, Massachusetts 02106, a
subsidiary  of  the  Adviser,  is  the  transfer,   shareholder   servicing  and
dividend-paying agent for the Company. 

Distributor

      Scudder  Investor  Services,  Inc.,  a subsidiary  of the Adviser,  is the
Company's principal  underwriter.  Scudder Investor Services,  Inc. confirms, as
agent, all purchases of shares of the Company.  Under the Underwriting Agreement
with the Company,  the Distributor  acts as the principal  underwriter and bears
the cost of printing and mailing  prospectuses to potential investors and of any
advertising  expenses  incurred by it in  connection  with the  distribution  of
shares.


Custodian

      State Street Bank and Trust Company is the custodian for the Company.

      Scudder  Fund  Accounting  Corporation,  a subsidiary  of the Adviser,  is
responsible  for determining the daily net asset value per share and maintaining
the general accounting records of each Fund.

                             Transaction Information

Purchasing Shares


      While the Funds have no specific minimum initial  investment  requirement,
it is the Company's policy normally not to accept initial investments in amounts
below $100,000 for each of the Funds. The minimum subsequent  investment for any
of the  Funds is $100.  The  minimum  investment  requirements  may be waived or
lowered for investments  effected through banks and other institutions that have
entered into special  arrangements with the Company and for investments effected
on a group basis by certain other entities and their employees, such as pursuant
to a payroll deduction plan and for investments made in an Individual Retirement
Account  offered  by the  Company.  Investment  minimums  may also be waived for
Directors and Officers of the Company.  The Company and the Distributor  reserve
the right to reject any purchase  order.  All funds will be invested in full and
fractional shares.


     Shares of any Fund may be  purchased  by writing or calling  the  Company's
Transfer  Agent.  Orders for shares of a Fund will be  executed at the net asset
value per share next determined after an order has become effective.  See "Share
Price."


      Orders for shares of a Fund will become  effective when an investor's bank
wire order or check is converted  into  federal  funds  (monies  credited to the
Custodian's  account with its registered  Federal  Reserve Bank).  If payment is
transmitted by the Federal Reserve Wire System,  the order will become effective
upon receipt.  Orders will be executed at 2:00 p.m.  (eastern  time) on the same
day if a bank wire or check is converted to federal funds by 12:00 noon (eastern
time) or a federal  funds'  wire is received by 12:00 noon  (eastern  time).  In
addition,  if  investors  known to the  Company  notify the Company by 2:00 p.m.
(eastern  time) that they intend to wire federal  funds to purchase  shares of a
Fund on any  business  day and if monies are  received  in time to be  invested,
orders will be executed at the net asset value per share determined at 2:00 p.m.
(eastern  time) the same day. Wire  transmissions  may,  however,  be subject to
delays of several hours, in which event the  effectiveness  of the order will be
delayed. Payments transmitted by a bank wire other than the Federal Reserve Wire
System may take longer to be converted into federal funds.


      Checks drawn on a non-member bank or a foreign bank may take substantially
longer to be  converted  into  federal  funds  and,  accordingly,  may delay the
execution  of an order.  Checks  must be  payable  in U.S.  dollars  and will be
accepted subject to collection at full face value.

      By  investing  in a Fund, a  shareholder  appoints  the Transfer  Agent to
establish  an open  account  to which all  shares  purchased  will be  credited,
together with any dividends  and capital  gains  distributions  that are paid in
additional shares. See "Distribution and Performance  Information--Dividends and
Capital Gains Distributions."

Initial Purchase by Wire


      1.  Shareholders  may  open an  account  by  calling  toll-free  from  any

identification  number,  dividend payment election,  amount to be wired, name of

<PAGE>

     3.  Complete a Purchase  Application.  Indicate  the services to be used. A
completed Purchase Application must be received by the Transfer Agent before the
Expedited  Redemption or Check Redemption Service can be used. Mail the Purchase
Application to:


                       Scudder Service Corporation
                       P.O. Box 2038
                       Boston, Massachusetts 02106

Additional Purchases by Wire

      Instruct the wiring bank to transmit the specified amount to the Custodian
with the information stated above.

Initial Purchase by Mail

     1. Complete a Purchase Application. Indicate the services to be used.


     2. Mail the Purchase Application and check payable to the Fund whose shares
are to be purchased, to the Transfer Agent at the address set forth above.


Additional Purchases by Mail

     1. Make a check payable to the Fund whose shares are to be purchased. Write
the shareholder's Fund account number on the check.

     2. Mail the check and the detachable stub from the Statement of Account (or
a letter  providing the account number) to the Transfer Agent at the address set
forth above.

Redeeming Shares

      Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a redemption request in proper form,
shares of any Fund will be redeemed at their next  determined  net asset  value.
See  "Share  Price."  For  the  shareholder's   convenience,   the  Company  has
established several different redemption procedures.

      Payment  of  redemption  proceeds  may be made in  securities,  subject to
regulation  by some state  securities  commissions.  The Company may suspend the
right of  redemption  during any period  when (i)  trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (the  "Exchange")  is restricted or the Exchange is closed,  other than
customary weekend and holiday closings, (ii) the SEC has by order permitted such
suspension or (iii) an emergency,  as defined by rules of the SEC, exists making
disposal of portfolio securities or determination of the value of the net assets
of the Funds not reasonably practicable.

      A  shareholder's  account  in a Fund  remains  open  for  up to  one  year
following complete redemption,  and all costs during the period will be borne by
that Fund.

      The  Company  reserves  the  right to  redeem  upon not less than 30 days'
written  notice  all  shares in an  account  that has a value of $1,000 or less.
However,  any shareholder affected by the exercise of this right will be allowed
to make additional  investments  prior to the date fixed for redemption to avoid
liquidation of the account.

      The  Company  also  reserves  the  right,  following  30 days'  notice  to
shareholders, to redeem all shares in accounts without certified Social Security
or  taxpayer   identification  numbers.  A  shareholder  may  avoid  involuntary
redemption by providing the Company with a taxpayer identification number during
the 30-day notice period.

Redemption by Mail

     1. Write a letter of  instruction.  Indicate the dollar amount or number of
shares to be redeemed.  Refer to the shareholder's  Fund account number and give
Social Security or taxpayer identification number (where applicable).

     2. Sign the letter in exactly  the same way the account is  registered.  If
there is more than one owner of the shares, all must sign.

                                       22
<PAGE>

     3.  If  shares  to be  redeemed  have a  value  of  $50,000  or  more,  the
signature(s)  must be  guaranteed  by a commercial  bank that is a member of the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  a trust  company,  a member firm of a
domestic  stock  exchange  or a  foreign  branch  of any of  the  foregoing.  In
addition, signatures may be guaranteed by other Eligible Guarantor Institutions,
i.e., other banks, other brokers and dealers,  municipal  securities brokers and
dealers,  government  securities  brokers and dealers,  credit unions,  national
securities exchanges, registered securities associations,  clearing agencies and
savings  associations.  The  Transfer  Agent,  however,  may  reject  redemption
instructions  if the  guarantor  is neither a member of nor a  participant  in a
signature guarantee program (currently known as "STAMPsm"). Signature guarantees
by notaries public are not acceptable. Further documentation,  such as copies of
corporate  resolutions  and  instruments  of  authority,  may be requested  from
corporations,  administrators,  executors, personal representatives, trustees or
custodians  to  evidence  the  authority  of the  person  or entity  making  the
redemption request.

     4. Mail the letter to the  Transfer  Agent at the  address  set forth under
"Purchasing Shares."

      Checks for  redemption  proceeds will normally be mailed the day following
receipt of the request in proper form,  although the Company  reserves the right
to take up to seven days. Unless other  instructions are given in proper form, a
check for the proceeds of a redemption will be sent to the shareholder's address
of record.  The Custodian may benefit from the use of redemption  proceeds until
the check issued to a redeeming shareholder for such proceeds has cleared.

      When  proceeds of a  redemption  are to be paid to someone  other than the
shareholder,  either  by  wire or  check,  the  signature(s)  on the  letter  of
instruction must be guaranteed regardless of the amount of the redemption.

Redemption by Expedited Redemption Service

      If  Expedited   Redemption  Service  has  been  elected  on  the  Purchase
Application  on file  with the  Transfer  Agent,  redemption  of  shares  may be
requested  by  telephoning  the  Transfer  Agent on any day the  Company and the
Custodian are open for business.

      No redemption of shares  purchased by check will be permitted  pursuant to
the Expedited  Redemption  Service until seven  business days after those shares
have been credited to the shareholder's account.

     1.  Telephone the request to the Transfer  Agent by calling  toll-free from
any continental state: 1-800-854-8525, or

     2. Mail the  request to the  Transfer  Agent at the address set forth under
"Purchasing Shares."


      Proceeds of Expedited  Redemptions  of $1,000 or more will be wired to the
shareholder's  bank  indicated  in the  Purchase  Application.  If an  Expedited
Redemption request for the Funds is received by the Transfer Agent by 12:00 noon
(eastern time) on a day the Company and the Custodian are open for business, the
redemption proceeds will be transmitted to the shareholder's bank that same day.
Such expedited  redemption request received after 12:00 noon and before 2:00 p.m
(eastern  time)  will  be  honored  the  same  day  if  such  redemption  can be
accomplished in time to meet the Federal Reserve Wire System's schedule. A check
for proceeds of less than $1,000 will be mailed to the shareholder's  address of
record.  In the case of  investments  in a Fund that have been effected  through
banks and other  institutions  that have entered into special  arrangements with
the Company,  the full amount of the redemption  proceeds will be transmitted by
wire.


      Each Fund uses  procedures  designed  to give  reasonable  assurance  that
telephone instructions are genuine, including recording telephone calls, testing
a caller's identity and sending written confirmation of telephone  transactions.
If a Fund does not follow  such  procedures,  it may be liable for losses due to
unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.  Each Fund will not be liable
for acting  upon  instructions  communicated  by  telephone  that it  reasonably
believes to be genuine. 

                                       23
<PAGE>
Redemption by Check Redemption Service

      If Check Redemption  Service has been elected on the Purchase  Application
on file with the  Transfer  Agent,  redemptions  of shares  may be made by using
redemption checks provided by the Company. There is no charge for this service.

      No redemption of shares  purchased by check will be permitted  pursuant to
the Check  Redemption  Service until seven business days after those shares have
been credited to the shareholder's account.

      1.   Checks must be written for amounts of $500 or more.

      2.   Checks may be payable to anyone and negotiated in the normal way.

      3. If more than one shareholder  owns the shares,  all must sign the check
unless an election  has been made to require  only one  signature  on checks and
that election has been indicated on the Purchase Application.

      The shareholder  should make certain that there are adequate shares in the
account  to  cover  the  amount  of  checks  written  under  this  service.   If
insufficient shares are in the account, or if checks are improperly signed, they
will not be honored.

      Shares  represented  by a  redemption  check will  continue  to earn daily
income until the check  clears the banking  system.  When  honoring a redemption
check, the Transfer Agent will redeem exactly enough full and fractional  shares
from an account to cover the amount of the check. The Check  Redemption  Service
may be terminated at any time by the Custodian or the Company.

Exchanging Shares

      Shares of any of the Funds  that have been held for seven days or more may
be exchanged for shares of one of the other Funds in an  identically  registered
account.  Shares may be  exchanged  for shares of another Fund only if shares of
such Fund may legally be sold under applicable state laws.


      A  shareholder  may  exchange  shares  by  calling  the  Transfer  Agent's
toll-free  number at  1-800-854-8525.  Procedures  applicable to redemption of a
Fund's  shares are also  applicable to  exchanging  shares.  The Company and the
Distributor  may modify or discontinue  exchange  privileges at any time upon 60
days' notice.


Share Price


      Net asset  value per share for each Fund is  determined  by  Scudder  Fund
Accounting  Corporation  on each day the Exchange is open for  trading.  The net
asset value per share of each Fund is  determined at 2:00 p.m.  (eastern  time).
The net asset value per share of each Fund is computed by dividing  the value of
the total  assets  of the Fund,  less all  liabilities,  by the total  number of
outstanding shares of the Fund.


      Each Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities
and seeks to  maintain  a  constant  net asset  value of $1.00  per  share.  The
amortized cost method involves  valuing a security at its cost and accreting any
discount and amortizing any premium over the period until  maturity,  regardless
of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the security.
See the Statement of Additional  Information for a more complete  description of
the amortized cost method.

                              Shareholder Benefits

can be provided,  showing for each  account the account  number,  the  month-end
share balance and the dividends and distributions paid during the month.

each year. The Company sends to its shareholders, semi-annually, reports showing
the investments in each of the Company's Funds and other information  (including

                         THE FUNDS AND THEIR OBJECTIVES

   (See "Investment Objectives and Policies" and "Additional Information About
            Policies and Investments" in the Company's Prospectuses)

General Investment Objectives and Policies

         Managed Government Securities Fund ("Government Fund"), Managed Federal
Securities  Fund ("Federal  Fund"),  Managed Cash Fund ("Cash Fund") and Managed
Tax-Free Fund  ("Tax-Free  Fund")  (collectively,  the "Money Market Funds") are
series of Scudder Fund, Inc. (the "Company"), a professionally managed open-end,
diversified  investment  company  comprised of five investment  portfolios.  The
Money  Market  Funds seek to provide  investors  with as high a level of current
income as is consistent with their  investment  objectives and policies and with
preservation of capital and liquidity. The Federal Fund seeks to provide current
income  that cannot be  subjected  to state and local taxes by reason of federal
law, and the Tax-Free Fund seeks to provide  current  income that is exempt from
federal  income  taxes.  There can be no  assurance  that any of the Funds  will
achieve its investment objective.

         Securities  in which the Funds  invest may not yield as high a level of
current  income as  securities  of lower  quality  and longer  maturities  which
generally have less liquidity and greater market risk. Each Fund will maintain a
dollar-weighted  average  maturity of 90 days or less in an effort to maintain a
net asset value per share of $1.00,  but there is no  assurance  that it will be
able to do so.

         Managed Intermediate  Government Fund ("Intermediate  Government Fund")
is a series of the Company that seeks to provide  investors with a high level of
current  income and to keep the price of its shares  more  stable than that of a
long-term  bond. The Fund is not a fixed-price  money market fund, and the value
of its shares  will  fluctuate.  In seeking  its  investment  objective  of high
current income,  the Fund will not invest in  non-investment  grade  securities.
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

         Except as otherwise  indicated,  each Fund's  investment  objective and
policies are not fundamental and may be changed without a vote of  shareholders.
Shareholders  will  receive  written  notice  of  any  changes  in  each  Fund's
objective.

         The Funds'  investment  adviser is Scudder,  Stevens & Clark, Inc. (the
"Adviser"),  a leading provider of U.S. and international  investment management
services for clients throughout the world. See "Investment Adviser."

Government Fund

         The Government Fund seeks to provide  investors with as high a level of
current  income  as  is  consistent  with  its  investment   policies  and  with
preservation  of  capital  and  liquidity.   The  Fund  invests  exclusively  in
obligations  issued or  guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government  or its  agencies or
instrumentalities  that have remaining  maturities of not more than 397 days and
certain repurchase agreements.

         In  addition,  the  Fund  may  invest  in  variable  or  floating  rate
obligations, when-issued securities and securities with put features.

Federal Fund

         The  Federal  Fund seeks to provide  investors  with as high a level of
current income that cannot be subjected to state or local income taxes by reason
of  federal  law  as  is  consistent  with  its  investment  policies  and  with
preservation  of capital and  liquidity.  To achieve  this  objective,  the Fund
invests  exclusively in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  Government
that have remaining  maturities of not more than 397 days,  including securities
issued by the Federal  Farm Credit  Banks  Funding  Corp.  and the Student  Loan
Marketing Association, and in certain repurchase agreements when in the judgment
of the Adviser this is advisable  for  liquidity  purposes,  in order to enhance
yield or in other  circumstances  such as when  appropriate  securities  are not
available.

         In  addition,  the  Fund  may  invest  in  variable  or  floating  rate
obligations, when-issued securities and securities with put features.


<PAGE>

Cash Fund

         The  Cash  Fund  seeks  to  provide  investors  with as high a level of
current  income  as  is  consistent  with  its  investment   policies  and  with
preservation of capital and liquidity.  The Fund invests  exclusively in a broad
range of short-term money market  instruments that have remaining  maturities of
not more  than 397 days and  certain  repurchase  agreements.  These  securities
consist  of  obligations  issued or  guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government  or its
agencies or  instrumentalities,  taxable and tax-exempt  municipal  obligations,
corporate and bank obligations,  certificates of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances
and variable amount master demand notes.

         The bank  obligations in which the Fund may invest  include  negotiable
certificates  of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances,  fixed time  deposits or other
short-term  bank  obligations.  The Fund  limits its  investments  in U.S.  bank
obligations  to  obligations  of U.S. banks  (including  foreign  branches,  the
obligations  of which are  guaranteed by the U.S.  parent) that have at least $1
billion  in  total  assets  at the  time of  investment.  "U.S.  banks"  include
commercial  banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or are examined
by the  Comptroller of the Currency or whose deposits are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, the Fund may invest in savings banks
and  savings and loan  associations  insured by the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  that have  total  assets in excess of $1 billion at the time of the
investment.  The Fund limits its investments in foreign bank obligations to U.S.
dollar-denominated  obligations of foreign banks (including U.S. branches) which
banks (based upon their most recent annual financial  statements) at the time of
investment  (i)  have  more  than  $10  billion,  or  the  equivalent  in  other
currencies,  in total assets;  (ii) are among the 100 largest banks in the world
as determined on the basis of assets; and (iii) have branches or agencies in the
U.S.; and which obligations, in the opinion of the Adviser, are of an investment
quality comparable to obligations of U.S. banks in which the Fund may invest.

         Fixed time deposits may be withdrawn on demand by the investor, but may
be subject to early  withdrawal  penalties that vary with market  conditions and
the remaining maturity of the obligations. The Fund may not invest more than 10%
of the value of its total assets in investments that are not readily  marketable
including fixed time deposits subject to withdrawal  penalties  maturing in more
than seven calendar days.

         The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated  certificates of deposit
and  promissory  notes  issued  by  Canadian  affiliates  of  U.S.  banks  under
circumstances  where the instruments are guaranteed as to principal and interest
by the U.S. bank. While foreign obligations generally involve greater risks than
those  of  domestic   obligations,   such  as  risks   relating  to   liquidity,
marketability,   foreign  taxation,   nationalization   and  exchange  controls,
generally the Adviser  believes that these risks are  substantially  less in the
case of instruments  issued by Canadian  affiliates  that are guaranteed by U.S.
banks than in the case of other foreign money market instruments.

         The Fund may invest in U.S.  dollar-denominated  obligations of foreign
banks.  There is no  limitation  on the amount of the Fund's  assets that may be
invested in  obligations  of foreign  banks that meet the  conditions  set forth
above.  Such  investments  may involve  greater risks than those  affecting U.S.
banks or Canadian  affiliates of U.S. banks. In addition,  foreign banks are not
subject to examination by any U.S. Government agency or instrumentality.

         Except for  obligations  of foreign banks and foreign  branches of U.S.
banks, the Fund will not invest in the securities of foreign issuers. Generally,
the Fund may not invest less than 25% of the current  value of its total  assets
in  bank  obligations   (including  bank   obligations   subject  to  repurchase
agreements).

         The  commercial  paper  purchased  by the  Fund is  limited  to  direct
obligations of domestic  corporate  issuers,  including bank holding  companies,
which  obligations,  at the time of  investment,  are (i) rated "P-1" by Moody's
Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's"),  "A-1" or  better by  Standard  & Poor's
("S&P") or "F-1" by Fitch  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Fitch"),  (ii) issued or
guaranteed  as to  principal  and  interest by issuers  having an existing  debt
security  rating of "Aa" or better by Moody's or "AA" or better by S&P or Fitch,
or (iii) securities that, if not rated, are of comparable  investment quality as
determined by the Adviser in accordance with procedures  adopted by the Board of
Directors.

         The Fund may invest in  non-convertible  corporate debt securities such
as notes,  bonds and debentures that have remaining  maturities of not more than
397 days and that are rated  "Aa" or better by  Moody's or "AA" or better by S&P
or Fitch,  and variable  amount master demand  notes.  A variable  amount master
demand note differs from ordinary commercial paper in that it is issued pursuant
to a written  agreement  between the issuer and the holder.  Its amount may from


                                       2
<PAGE>

time to time be  increased  by the  holder  (subject  to an agreed  maximum)  or
decreased  by the holder or the  issuer  and is  payable on demand.  The rate of
interest varies  pursuant to an agreed-upon  formula.  Generally,  master demand
notes are not rated by a rating agency. However, the Fund may invest in a master
demand  note  that,  if not  rated,  is in the  opinion  of  the  Adviser  of an
investment  quality comparable to rated securities in which the Fund may invest.
The Adviser  monitors the issuers of such master  demand notes on a daily basis.
Transfer  of such notes is usually  restricted  by the  issuer,  and there is no
secondary  trading  market for such  notes.  The Fund may not invest in a master
demand note if, as a result,  more than 10% of the value of its total net assets
would be invested in such notes.

         Municipal  obligations,  which  are debt  obligations  issued  by or on
behalf of states, cities,  municipalities and other public authorities,  and may
be  general  obligation,  revenue,  or  industrial  development  bonds,  include
municipal bonds, municipal notes and municipal commercial paper.

         The Fund's investments in municipal bonds are limited to bonds that are
rated at the date of purchase "Aa" or better by Moody's or "AA" or better by S&P
or Fitch.

         The Fund's investments in municipal notes will be limited to notes that
are rated at the date of purchase "MIG 1" or "MIG 2" (or "VMIG 1" or "VMIG 2" in
the case of an issue having a variable rate demand  feature) by Moody's,  "SP-1"
or "SP-1+" by S&P or "F-1" or "F-1+" by Fitch.

         Municipal  commercial paper is a debt obligation with a stated maturity
of 270 days or less that is issued to finance  seasonal working capital needs or
as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term debt. The Fund may invest
in  municipal  commercial  paper that is rated at the date of purchase  "P-1" by
Moody's,  "A-1" or "A-1+" by S&P or "F-1" by Fitch. If a municipal obligation is
not  rated,  the Fund may  purchase  the  obligation  if, in the  opinion of the
Adviser,  it is of investment quality comparable to other rated investments that
are permitted in the Fund.

         All of the  securities  in which the Fund will  invest must meet credit
standards applied by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board
of Directors.  Should an issue of securities  cease to be rated or if its rating
is reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the Fund, the Adviser will
dispose of any such security,  as soon as  practicable,  unless the Directors of
the Company  determine  that such disposal would not be in the best interests of
the Fund.

         In  addition,  the  Fund  may  invest  in  variable  or  floating  rate
obligations,   obligations  backed  by  bank  letters  of  credit,   when-issued
securities and securities with put features.

Tax-Free Fund

         The Tax-Free  Fund seeks to provide  investors  with as high a level of
current  income  that  cannot be  subjected  to federal  income tax by reason of
federal law as is consistent with its investment  policies and with preservation
of capital and liquidity.  The Fund invests primarily in high-quality  municipal
obligations  the interest on which is exempt from federal  income taxes and that
have remaining  maturities of not more than 397 days.  Opinions  relating to the
exemption  of interest on  municipal  obligations  from  federal  income tax are
rendered by bond counsel to the  municipal  issuer.  The Fund may also invest in
certain taxable obligations on a temporary defensive basis, as described below.

         Municipal  obligations,  which  are debt  obligations  issued  by or on
behalf of states, cities,  municipalities and other public authorities,  and may
be  general  obligation,  revenue,  or  industrial  development  bonds,  include
municipal bonds, municipal notes and municipal commercial paper.

         The Fund's investments in municipal bonds are limited to bonds that are
rated at the date of purchase "Aa" or better by Moody's or "AA" or better by S&P
or Fitch.

         The Fund's investments in municipal notes will be limited to notes that
are rated at the date of purchase "MIG 1" or "MIG 2" (or "VMIG 1" or "VMIG 2" in
the case of an issue having a variable rate demand  feature) by Moody's,  "SP-1"
or "SP-1+" by S&P or "F-1" or "F-1+" by Fitch.

         Municipal  commercial paper is a debt obligation with a stated maturity
of 270 days or less that is issued to finance  seasonal working capital needs or
as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term debt. The Fund may invest


                                       3
<PAGE>

in  municipal  commercial  paper that is rated at the date of purchase  "P-1" by
Moody's, "A-1" or "A-1+" by S&P or "F-1" by Fitch.

         If a  municipal  obligation  is not rated,  the Fund may  purchase  the
obligation  if, in the  opinion  of the  Adviser,  it is of  investment  quality
comparable to other rated  investments that are permitted in the Fund. From time
to time the Fund may invest 25% or more of the current value of its total assets
in  municipal  obligations  that are  related  in such a way  that an  economic,
business or political  development or change affecting one such obligation would
also affect the other obligations.  For example,  certain municipal  obligations
accrue  interest  that is paid from  revenues of similar  type  projects;  other
municipal obligations have issuers located in the same state.

         The floating and variable rate municipal  obligations that the Fund may
purchase include  certificates of  participation  in such obligations  purchased
from banks. A certificate of participation  gives the Fund an undivided interest
in the underlying municipal obligations,  usually private activity bonds, in the
proportion that the Fund's interest bears to the total principal  amount of such
municipal obligations. Certain of such certificates of participation may carry a
demand  feature  that would  permit the holder to tender them back to the issuer
prior to maturity.  The Fund may invest in certificates of participation even if
the underlying  municipal  obligations  carry stated maturities in excess of one
year,  if  compliance  with  certain  conditions  contained  in a  rule  of  the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC") is met. The income  received on
certificates of participation constitutes interest from tax-exempt obligations.

         The Fund may,  pending the investment of proceeds of sales of shares or
proceeds from sales of portfolio  securities or in  anticipation of redemptions,
or to maintain a "defensive"  posture when, in the opinion of the Adviser, it is
advisable to do so because of market conditions,  elect to invest temporarily up
to 20% of the  current  value of its total  assets in cash  reserves  or taxable
securities.  Under ordinary market  conditions,  the Fund will maintain at least
80% of the value of its total assets in obligations that are exempt from federal
income taxes and are not subject to the  alternative  minimum tax. The foregoing
constitutes a fundamental  policy that cannot be changed without the approval of
a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

         The taxable  market is a broader and more liquid  market with a greater
number of  investors,  issuers and market  makers than the market for  municipal
obligations. The more limited marketability of municipal obligations may make it
difficult   in  certain   circumstances   to   dispose   of  large   investments
advantageously. In addition, certain municipal obligations might lose tax-exempt
status in the event of a change in the tax laws.

         All of the  securities  in which the Fund will  invest must meet credit
standards applied by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board
of Directors.  Should an issue of securities  cease to be rated or if its rating
is reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the Fund, the Adviser will
dispose of any such security,  as soon as  practicable,  unless the Directors of
the Company  determine  that such disposal would not be in the best interests of
the Fund.

         In addition, the Fund may enter into repurchase agreements,  and invest
in variable or floating rate obligations,  obligations backed by bank letters of
credit, when-issued securities and securities with put features.

Intermediate Government Fund

         The Fund  invests  in  obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  by the U.S.
Government  or  its  agencies  or   instrumentalities   and  certain  repurchase
agreements  described  below under  "Additional  Information  About Policies and
Investments."  The  Fund  may  also  invest  in  mortgage-related   pass-through
obligations  issued by the Government  National  Mortgage  Association,  Federal
National  Mortgage  Association  and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation
("pass-through  obligations");   purchase  collateralized  mortgage  obligations
("CMOs") issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation,  Federal National
Mortgage   Association   or   other   agencies   of  the  U.S.   Government   or
instrumentalities established or sponsored by the U.S. Government; and invest in
zero coupon bonds.  Under ordinary  market  conditions,  it is expected that the
portfolio of the Fund will have a dollar-weighted average life of three to seven
years.  The Fund will limit its  investments  to those  which are  eligible  for
federally-chartered credit unions.

         Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and  instrumentalities are debt
securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises and federal agencies.
Some of such  obligations  are supported by (a) the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Treasury (such as Government  National Mortgage  Association  participation
certificates),  (b) the limited  authority of the issuer to borrow from the U.S.


                                       4
<PAGE>

Treasury  (such as securities of the Federal Home Loan Bank),  (c) the authority
of the U.S.  Government to purchase  certain  obligations of the issuer (such as
securities of the Federal National Mortgage  Association) or (d) only the credit
of the  issuer.  In the case of  obligations  not  backed by the full  faith and
credit of the U.S., the investor must look  principally to the agency issuing or
guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment.

         A  pass-through  obligation is a security that  represents an ownership
interest  in a pool  of  mortgages  and  the  resultant  cash  flow  from  those
mortgages.  Payments  by  homeowners  on the loans in the pool flow  through  to
certificate holders in amounts sufficient to repay principal and to pay interest
at the pass-through  rate. The average lives of pass-through  obligations may be
shortened by unscheduled prepayments of principal and interest on the underlying
mortgages.  Variations in the maturities of pass-through obligations will affect
the Fund's yield.  Furthermore,  as with any debt  obligation,  fluctuations  in
interest  rates  will  inversely   affect  the  market  value  of   pass-through
obligations.  Moreover,  during periods of declining interest rates, prepayments
may  affect  the  Fund's   ability  to  maintain   positions  in   high-yielding
pass-through obligations. In the case of pass-through obligations purchased at a
premium,  such  premiums  may be lost as a result of a decrease  in value of the
pass-through  obligations due to such prepayments.  The Fund will invest only in
pass-through  obligations that are supported by the full faith and credit of the
U.S.  Government  (such as those  issued  by the  Government  National  Mortgage
Association)  or those that are  guaranteed by an agency of the U.S.  Government
(such as the Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  or the Federal  Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation).  Such guarantees are only for timely payment of principal
and/or interest and do not guarantee yield or protect against declines in market
value. The Fund will invest only in pass-through  obligations of U.S. Government
agencies or  instrumentalities  that meet the criteria as set forth above. There
is no  limitation  on the amount of the Fund's  assets  that may be  invested in
pass-through obligations.

         A CMO is a debt  obligation  backed  by a  portfolio  of  mortgages  or
mortgage-backed  securities.  The  issuer's  obligation  to  make  interest  and
principal  payments  is secured by the  underlying  portfolio  of  mortgages  or
mortgage-backed securities. Generally, a CMO is partitioned into several classes
with a ranked priority by which the classes of obligations are redeemed.

         In a CMO,  a series of bonds or  certificates  is  issued  in  multiple
classes.  Each class of CMOs,  often  referred to as a "tranche," is issued at a
specific  fixed  or  floating  coupon  rate  and has  stated  maturity  or final
distribution  date.  Principal   prepayments  on  the  underlying  mortgages  or
securities  may cause the CMOs to be retired  substantially  earlier  than their
stated maturities or final  distribution  dates.  Interest is paid or accrues on
all  classes of the CMOs on a  monthly,  quarterly  or  semi-annual  basis.  The
principal  of and interest on the  underlying  mortgages  or  securities  may be
allocated among the several  classes of series of a CMO in innumerable  ways. In
one structure,  payments of principal,  including any principal prepayments,  on
the  underlying  mortgages or securities  are applied to the classes of a CMO in
the order of their respective stated maturities or final distribution  dates, so
that no payment of  principal  will be made on any class of CMOs until all other
classes having an earlier stated maturity or final  distribution  date have been
paid in full.

         The  Fund may also  invest  in,  among  others,  parallel  pay CMOs and
Planned Amortization Class CMOs ("PAC Bonds").  Parallel pay CMOs are structured
to provide  payments of  principal  on each payment date to more than one class.
These  simultaneous  payments are taken into account in  calculating  the stated
maturity date or final distribution date of each class, which, as with other CMO
structures,  must be retired by its stated  maturity date or final  distribution
date but may be retired  earlier.  PAC Bonds  generally  call for  payments of a
specified amount of principal on each payment date.

Investment Restrictions

         In connection with its investment  objectives and policies as set forth
in  the   Prospectuses,   the  Company  has   adopted   fundamental   investment
restrictions,  on behalf of each Fund,  none of which may be changed without the
approval of the holders of a majority of a Fund's outstanding shares, as defined
in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").

         As a matter of fundamental policy, the Funds may not:

         (1) purchase  the  securities  of issuers  conducting  their  principal
business activity in the same industry if, immediately after the purchase and as
a result  thereof,  the value of any Fund's  investments  in that industry would


                                       5
<PAGE>

exceed 25% of the current value of such Fund's total assets, provided that there
is no limitation with respect to investments in (i) municipal  obligations  (for
the  purpose of this  restriction,  private  activity  bonds shall not be deemed
municipal obligations if the payments of principal and interest on such bonds is
the ultimate responsibility of non-governmental  users), (ii) obligations of the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities,  or (iii) in the case of the
Money Market Funds (other than the Federal Fund), bank obligations;

         (2) purchase or sell real estate (other than  municipal  obligations or
other money market  securities  secured by real estate or  interests  therein or
securities issued by companies that invest in real estate or interests therein),
commodities or commodity contracts;

         (3)  purchase  securities  on  margin  (except  for  short-term credits
necessary for the clearance of transactions) or make short sales of securities;

         (4) underwrite  securities of other issuers,  except to the extent that
the purchase of municipal  obligations or other permitted  investments  directly
from the  issuer  thereof  or from an  underwriter  for an issuer  and the later
disposition of such securities in accordance with any Fund's investment  program
may be deemed to be an underwriting;

         (5) purchase restricted  securities,  which are securities that must be
registered  under the  Securities Act of 1933 before they may be offered or sold
to the public;

         (6) invest more than 5% of the current value of any Fund's total assets
in the  securities  of any  one  issuer,  other  than  obligations  of the  U.S.
Government,  its agencies or instrumentalities or securities which are backed by
the full faith and credit of the U.S.  (except  that the Federal Fund may exceed
this 5% limit with  respect to a single  security  that is rated in the  highest
rating category for up to three business days);

         (7) purchase securities of an issuer if, as a result, as to 75% of such
Fund's total assets,  such Fund would own more than 10% of the voting securities
of such issuer;

         (8)  make   investments   for  the  purpose  of  exercising  control or
management;

         (9)  write,  purchase  or sell puts,  calls, warrants or options or any
combination  thereof,  except that the Funds may  purchase  securities  with put
rights in order to maintain liquidity; or

         (10)  purchase equity securities or  securities convertible into equity
securities.

         Each  of  the  investment  restrictions  described  above  and  in  the
Prospectuses under "Investment Restrictions" are fundamental policies of each of
the Funds and may be changed  only when  permitted  by law and  approved  by the
holders of a majority of a Fund's outstanding  voting  securities,  as described
under "Company Organization."

         For purposes of these  investment  restrictions as well as for purposes
of  diversification  under the 1940 Act, the  identification  of the issuer of a
municipal  obligation depends on the terms and conditions of the obligation.  If
the  assets  and  revenues  of an agency,  authority,  instrumentality  or other
political  subdivision  are separate from those of the  government  creating the
subdivision  and the obligation is backed only by the assets and revenues of the
subdivision,  such subdivision would be regarded as the sole issuer.  Similarly,
in the case of a  "private  activity  bond," if the bond is  backed  only by the
assets and revenues of the nongovernmental  user, the nongovernmental user would
be deemed to be the sole issuer.  If in either case the creating  government  or
another  entity  guarantees an obligation,  the guarantee  would be considered a
separate security and be treated as an issue of such government or entity.

         In addition to the above fundamental  investment policies,  each of the
following  investment  restrictions  may be  changed at any time by the Board of
Directors:

         1.       No Fund may invest in oil, gas and other  mineral  exploration
                  or  development programs or leases.

         2.       No  Fund  will  invest  in  real  estate  limited  partnership
                  interests.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         3.       No  Fund  may  purchase  or  retain securities of any open-end
                  investment  company, or  securities  of closed-end  investment
                  companies  except  by  purchase   in  the open market where no
                  commission  or  profit  to  a  sponsor or dealer  results from
                  such  purchase,  or except  when  such  purchase,  though  not
                  made in the  open  market,  is  part  of  a  plan  of  merger,
                  consolidation,  reorganization  or acquisition  of assets;  in
                  any  event   no   Fund   may  purchase   more  than  3% of the
                  outstanding  voting securities of another investment  company,
                  may invest  more  than 5% of its assets in another  investment
                  company,  or may  invest more  than 10% of its assets in other
                  investment companies.

         4.       No Fund may purchase securities of any issuer with a record of
                  less  than  three  years  continuous   operations,   including
                  predecessors,    except   U.S.   Government   securities   and
                  obligations  issued or guaranteed by any foreign government or
                  its  agencies or  instrumentalities,  if such  purchase  would
                  cause  the  investments  of the  Fund in all such  issuers  to
                  exceed  5% of the  total  assets  of the Fund  taken at market
                  value.

                   ADDITIONAL PERMITTED INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

       (See "Additional Information About Policies and Investments" in the
                            Company's Prospectuses)

         Municipal  Notes.  The  Tax-Free  Fund and the Cash Fund may  invest in
municipal  notes.   Municipal  notes  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  tax
anticipation  notes  ("TANs"),   bond  anticipation   notes  ("BANs"),   revenue
anticipation  notes  ("RANs"),   construction  loan  notes  and  project  notes.
Municipal notes generally have maturities at the time of issuance of three years
or less. Notes sold as interim financing in anticipation of collection of taxes,
a bond sale or receipt of other revenues are usually general  obligations of the
issuer.  Project notes are issued by local housing  authorities to finance urban
renewal and public housing projects and are secured by the full faith and credit
of the U.S. Government.

         TANs An uncertainty in a municipal  issuer's capacity to raise taxes as
         a  result  of such  things  as a  decline  in its tax base or a rise in
         delinquencies  could adversely  affect the issuer's ability to meet its
         obligations on outstanding  TANs.  Furthermore,  some municipal issuers
         mix  various  tax  proceeds  into a  general  fund that is used to meet
         obligations  other than those of the  outstanding  TANs.  Use of such a
         general fund to meet various obligations could affect the likelihood of
         making payments on TANs.

         BANs The ability of a municipal  issuer to meet its  obligations on its
         BANs is  primarily  dependent on the  issuer's  adequate  access to the
         longer term municipal bond market and the likelihood  that the proceeds
         of such bond sales will be used to pay the  principal  of, and interest
         on, BANs.

         RANs A decline in the receipt of certain revenues,  such as anticipated
         revenues from another level of government,  could  adversely  affect an
         issuer's  ability  to meet its  obligations  on  outstanding  RANs.  In
         addition,  the possibility that the revenues would,  when received,  be
         used to meet other  obligations  could affect the ability of the issuer
         to pay the principal of, and interest on, RANs.

         Zero Coupon Bonds. As indicated in the  Prospectuses,  the Intermediate
Government  Fund may also invest in zero  coupon  bonds.  Although  the Fund may
invest up to and including 5% of its net assets in zero coupon bonds,  such Fund
has no current intention to invest in any such securities. Zero coupon bonds are
debt obligations  which do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments prior
to maturity and  therefore  are issued and traded at a discount  from their face
amounts. The discount,  in the absence of financial  difficulties of the issuer,
decreases as the final  maturity of the security  approaches.  Zero coupon bonds
can be sold  prior  to  their  due  date in the  secondary  market  at the  then
prevailing  market  value,  which  depends  primarily  on the time  remaining to
maturity,  prevailing  levels of interest rates and the perceived credit quality
of the issuer. The market prices of zero coupon bonds are more volatile than the
market prices of securities of comparable  quality and similar maturity that pay
interest  periodically  and may respond to a greater degree to  fluctuations  in
interest rates than do such non-zero coupon bonds. There are currently two basic
types of zero coupon bonds:  (i) those  created by  separating  the interest and
principal  components of a previously issued  interest-paying  security and (ii)
those  originally  issued in the form of a face  amount  only  security  with no
payments  prior to  maturity.  The Fund will only invest in zero coupon bonds of
the U.S. Government and certain of its agencies and instrumentalities.

         Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  Each Fund may lend securities from its
portfolio  to  brokers,  dealers  and  financial  institutions  if  cash or cash
equivalent collateral,  including letters of credit,  marked-to-market daily and
equal to at least 100% of the  current  market  value of the  securities  loaned
(including  accrued interest and dividends thereon) plus the interest payable to
the Fund with respect to the loan is maintained by the borrower with the Fund in
a segregated  account. In determining whether to lend a security to a particular
broker, dealer or financial institution,  the Adviser will consider all relevant
facts and circumstances, including the creditworthiness of the broker, dealer or
financial  institution.  The Funds  will not  enter  into any  security  lending
arrangement  having a duration of longer than one year.  Securities  that a Fund
may receive as  collateral  will not become part of that Fund at the time of the
loan. In the event of a default by the borrower, such Fund will, if permitted by
law,  dispose of the collateral  except for such part thereof that is a security
in which such Fund is permitted  to invest.  During the time  securities  are on
loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any accrued income on those securities, and
the Fund may invest the cash collateral and earn additional income or receive an
agreed upon fee from a borrower that has delivered cash  equivalent  collateral.
No Fund will lend  securities  having a value that  exceeds  10% of the  current
value of its total  assets.  Loans of  securities  by a Fund will be  subject to
termination at the Fund's or the borrower's option. Each Fund may pay reasonable
administrative  and custodial fees in connection  with a securities loan and may
pay a  negotiated  portion of the  interest  or fee earned  with  respect to the
collateral to the borrower or the placing broker.  Borrowers and placing brokers
may not be affiliated,  directly or indirectly, with the Company or the Adviser.
The Funds did not lend any of their portfolio securities during 1995 and have no
present intention to do so.

         CMOs and REMICs.  The Government Fund did not invest in  collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs) or real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs)
during 1995 and has no present intention to do so.
 

         The foregoing  policies and activities of the Funds are not fundamental
and may be changed by the Board of Directors of the Company without the approval
of shareholders.

                                PURCHASING SHARES

(See "Transaction Information--Purchasing Shares" in the Company's Prospectuses)

         While  the  Funds  have  no   specific   minimum   initial   investment
requirement,  it  is  the  Company's  policy  normally  not  to  accept  initial
investments  in  amounts  below  $100,000  for each of the  Funds.  The  minimum
subsequent  investment  for any of the  Funds is $100.  The  minimum  investment
requirements may be waived or lowered for investments effected through banks and
other institutions that have entered into special  arrangements with the Company
and for  investments  effected on a group basis by certain  other  entities  and
their  employees,  such  as  pursuant  to  a  payroll  deduction  plan  and  for
investments  made in an Individual  Retirement  Account  offered by the Company.
Investment  minimums  may also be  waived  for  Directors  and  officers  of the
Company.  The Company and Scudder Investor  Services,  Inc. (the  "Distributor")
reserve the right to reject any  purchase  order.  All funds will be invested in
full and fractional shares.

Money Market Funds

 
         Orders for shares of a Fund will become  effective  when an  investor's
bank wire order or check is converted into federal funds (monies credited to the
account  of State  Street  Bank and Trust  Company  (the  "Custodian")  with its
registered  Federal  Reserve  Bank).  If payment is  transmitted  by the Federal
Reserve Wire System,  the order will become effective upon receipt.  Orders will
be executed at 2:00 p.m.  (eastern time) on the same day if a bank wire or check
is converted to federal funds by 12:00 noon (eastern  time) or a federal  funds'
wire is received by 12:00 noon (eastern time).  In addition,  if investors known
to the Company  notify the Company by 2:00 p.m.  (eastern time) that they intend
to wire federal funds to purchase  shares of any Fund on any business day and if
monies are received in time to be  invested,  orders will be executed at the net
asset value per share determined at 2:00 p.m.  (eastern time) the same day. Wire
transmissions  may,  however,  be subject to delays of several  hours,  in which
event the  effectiveness  of the order will be delayed.  Payments by a bank wire
other than the Federal  Reserve Wire System may take longer to be converted into
federal  funds.  When  payment for shares is by check drawn on any member of the
Federal Reserve System,  federal funds normally become  available to the Company
on the business day after the check is deposited.

Intermediate Government Fund

 
         Orders for shares of the Fund will  become  effective  at the net asset
value per share next determined after receipt by Scudder Service Corporation,  a
subsidiary of the Adviser (the "Transfer  Agent") of a check drawn on any member
of the  Federal  Reserve  System or by the  Custodian  of a bank wire or Federal
Reserve wire. Wire transmissions  may, however,  be subject to delays of several
hours, in which event the  effectiveness of the order will be delayed.  Payments
by a bank wire other than the Federal  Reserve Wire System may take longer to be
converted into federal  funds.  When payment for shares is by check drawn on any
member of the Federal Reserve System, federal funds normally become available to
the Company on the business day after the check is deposited.
 

         Shares of any Fund may be  purchased by writing or calling the Transfer
Agent.  Orders for shares of a Fund will be  executed at the net asset value per
share next determined after an order has become effective.  Due to the desire of
the Company to afford  ease of  redemption,  certificates  will not be issued to
indicate ownership in a Fund.

         Checks  drawn  on  a  non-member  bank  or  a  foreign  bank  may  take
substantially  longer to be converted into federal funds and,  accordingly,  may
delay the execution of an order. Checks must be payable in U.S. dollars and will
be accepted subject to collection at full face value.

         By investing in a Fund, a  shareholder  appoints the Transfer  Agent to
establish  an open  account  to which all  shares  purchased  will be  credited,
together with any dividends  and capital  gains  distributions  that are paid in
additional shares. See "Distribution and Performance  Information--Dividends and
Capital Gains Distributions" in the Company's Prospectuses.

                                REDEEMING SHARES

 (See "Transaction Information--Redeeming Shares" in the Company's Prospectuses)

         Payment of redemption  proceeds may be made in  securities,  subject to
regulation  by some state  securities  commissions.  The Company may suspend the
right of redemption  with respect to any Fund during any period when (i) trading
on the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is restricted or the Exchange is
closed,  other than customary weekend and holiday closings,  (ii) the SEC has by
order  permitted such  suspension or (iii) an emergency,  as defined by rules of
the SEC, exists making disposal of portfolio  securities or determination of the
value of the net assets of that Fund not reasonably practicable.

         The proceeds of redemption  from  Intermediate  Government  Fund may be
more or less than the amount invested and, therefore, a redemption may result in
a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

         A  shareholder's  Company  account  remains  open  for up to  one  year
following  complete  redemption and all costs during the period will be borne by
the Company. This permits an investor to resume investments.

                                    DIVIDENDS

          (See "Distribution and Performance Information--Dividends and
           Capital Gains Distributions" in the Company's Prospectuses)

Money Market Funds

 
         The Company declares  dividends on the outstanding  shares of each Fund
from each  Fund's net  investment  income at the close of each  business  day to
shareholders  of record at 2:00 p.m.  (eastern time) on the day of  declaration.
Realized  capital gains and losses may be taken into account in determining  the
daily distribution. Shares purchased will begin earning dividends on the day the
purchase order is executed and shares  redeemed will earn dividends  through the
previous day. Net  investment  income for a Saturday,  Sunday or holiday will be
declared as a dividend on the previous business day to shareholders of record at
2:00 p.m. (eastern time) on that day.

Intermediate Government Fund

 
         The Company  declares  dividends on the outstanding  shares of the Fund
from the  Fund's  net  investment  income at the close of each  business  day to
shareholders of record at 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the previous business day.
Shares  purchased  will begin  earning  dividends  on the day after the purchase
order is executed and shares  redeemed  will earn  dividends  through the day of
redemption except that with respect to orders for shares for which federal funds
wires are  received  by 12:00 noon  (eastern  time) or if monies  are  otherwise
received in time to be invested by the Fund that same day, such shares purchased
will begin  earning  dividends  on the day the purchase  order is executed.  Net
investment  income for a  Saturday,  Sunday or  holiday  will be  declared  as a
dividend on the next business day to shareholders of record at 4:00 p.m.
(eastern time) on the previous business day.
 

All Funds

         Investment  income for a Fund  includes,  among other things,  interest
income and accretion of market and original issue discount and  amortization  of
premium.

         Dividends  declared in and  attributable to the preceding month will be
paid on the first business day of each month. Net realized capital gains,  after
utilization of capital loss carryforwards, if any, will be distributed annually,
although an additional  distribution may be necessary to prevent the application
of a federal  excise  tax.  Dividends  and  distributions  will be  invested  in
additional  shares  of the same  Fund at net asset  value  and  credited  to the
shareholder's  account on the payment  date or, at the  shareholder's  election,
paid in  cash.  Dividend  checks  and  Statements  of  Account  will  be  mailed
approximately  two business days after the payment  date.  Each Fund forwards to
the Custodian the monies for dividends to be paid in cash on the payment date.

         Shareholders  who redeem all their shares  prior to a dividend  payment
will receive,  in addition to the redemption  proceeds,  dividends  declared but
unpaid.  Shareholders who redeem only a portion of their shares will be entitled
to all dividends declared but unpaid on such shares on the next dividend payment
date.

                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

    (See "Distribution and Performance Information--Performance Information"
                         in the Company's Prospectuses)

         From  time to  time,  quotations  of  each  Fund's  performance  may be
included in  advertisements,  sales  literature  or reports to  shareholders  or
prospective  investors.  These  performance  figures  may be  calculated  in the
following manner:

Yield

 
         The Company makes  available  various yield  quotations with respect to
shares of the Funds.  The annualized  yield for each of the following  Funds for
the seven-day  period ended December 31, 1995 was 5.19% for the Government Fund,
4.39% for the Federal Fund,  5.17% for the Cash Fund, and 4.16% for the Tax-Free
Fund.  Each Fund's  yield may  fluctuate  daily and does not provide a basis for
determining future yields. The foregoing yields were computed by determining the
net change in value,  exclusive of capital  changes,  of a hypothetical  account
having a balance of one share at the  beginning of the period,  dividing the net
change in value by the value of the account at the  beginning of the base period
to obtain the base period  return,  and  multiplying  the base period  return by
365/7,  with the resulting yield figure carried to the nearest  hundredth of one
percent.  The net  change  in  value  of an  account  consists  of the  value of
additional  shares  purchased  with  dividends  from  the  original  share  plus
dividends  declared on both the original  share and any such  additional  shares
(not  including  realized  gains  or  losses  and  unrealized   appreciation  or
depreciation) less applicable expenses,  including the management fee payable to
the Adviser.

         The  Intermediate  Government  Fund may from time to time advertise its
yield as calculated  over a 30-day period.  The Fund's  annualized SEC yield for
the 30-day period ended December 31, 1995 was 5.50%.  The  annualized  yield for
the Fund was  computed by dividing  the Fund's net  investment  income per share
earned  during this  30-day  period by the net asset value per share on the last
 


                                       10
<PAGE>

day of this period.  Income was computed by totaling the interest  earned on all
debt  obligations  during the 30-day period and subtracting from that amount the
total of all  expenses  incurred  during the period,  including  management  and
distribution  fees.  The 30-day yield was then  annualized on a  bond-equivalent
basis  assuming  semi-annual  reinvestment  and  compounding  of net  investment
income.

         Current yield for each Fund will  fluctuate  from time to time,  unlike
bank deposits or other investments that pay a fixed yield for a stated period of
time,  and do not  provide a basis for  determining  future  yields.  Yield is a
function of portfolio  quality,  composition,  maturity and market conditions as
well as expenses  allocated to such Funds.  Yield  information  may be useful in
reviewing the  performance  of the Fund and for providing a basis for comparison
with  investment  alternatives.  The  yield  of a  Fund,  however,  may  not  be
comparable to investment  alternatives  because of  differences in the foregoing
variables and differences in the methods used to value portfolio  securities and
compute expenses.

Effective Yield

         The  effective  yield for the Money  Market  Funds is  calculated  in a
similar fashion to yield,  except that the seven-day period return is compounded
by  adding  1,  raising  the sum to a  power  equal  to 365  divided  by 7,  and
subtracting 1 from the result, according to the following formula:

              EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1)^365/7] - 1

 
The effective yields (i.e., on a compound basis, assuming the daily reinvestment
of  dividends)  for each of the following  Funds for the seven-day  period ended
December 31, 1995 was 5.33% for the Government Fund, 4.48% for the Federal Fund,
5.30% for the Cash Fund, and 4.24% for the Tax-Free Fund.
 

Average Annual Total Return

         Average  annual total  return is the average  annual  compound  rate of
return for  periods  of one year,  five  years,  and ten years and the life of a
Fund, where applicable,  all ended on the last day of a recent calendar quarter.
Average annual total return quotations  reflect changes in the price of a Fund's
shares,  if any, and assume that all dividends  and capital gains  distributions
during the  respective  periods were  reinvested in Fund shares.  Average annual
total  return is  calculated  by finding the average  annual  compound  rates of
return  of a  hypothetical  investment  over  such  periods,  according  to  the
following   formula  (average  annual  total  return  is  then  expressed  as  a
percentage):

                               T = (ERV/P)^1/n - 1
Where:
            P     =      a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000.
            T     =      Average Annual Total Return.
            n     =      number of years.
            ERV   =      ending  redeemable  value:   ERV  is the value,  at the
                         end  of  the  applicable period,  of   a   hypothetical
                         $1,000  investment  made  at   the   beginning  of  the
                         applicable period.

Cumulative Total Return

         Cumulative  total  return  is  the  cumulative  rate  of  return  on  a
hypothetical  initial  investment of $1,000 for a specified  period.  Cumulative
total  return  quotations  reflect  changes in the price of a Fund's  shares and
assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions during the period were
reinvested in Fund shares.  Cumulative total return is calculated by finding the
cumulative  rates of  return of a  hypothetical  investment  over such  periods,
according to the following formula (cumulative total return is then expressed as
a percentage):


                                 C = (ERV/P) - 1

        Where:

           C      =    Cumulative Total Return.
           P      =    a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000.
           ERV    =    ending  redeemable value:  ERV is the value, at the
                       end  of  the  applicable  period, of a hypothetical
                       $1,000  investment  made  at  the  beginning of the
                       applicable period.

Total Return

         Total  return is the rate of return on an  investment  for a  specified
period of time calculated in the same manner as cumulative total return.

Comparison of Fund Performance

         Quotations of each Fund's performance are based on historical earnings,
show the  performance  of a  hypothetical  investment,  and are not  intended to
indicate future performance of a Fund. An investor's shares when redeemed may be
worth more or less than their  original  cost.  Performance  of a Fund will vary
based on changes in market conditions and the level of a Fund's expenses.

         From  time to  time,  in  marketing  and  other  fund  literature,  the
performance of each of the Money Market Funds may be compared to the performance
of broad  groups of mutual funds with similar  investment  goals,  as tracked by
independent   organizations.   Among  these  organizations,   Lipper  Analytical
Services, Inc. ("Lipper") may be cited. When Lipper's tracking results are used,
the Fund will be compared to Lipper's  appropriate  fund  category,  that is, by
fund objective and portfolio holdings. For instance, the Money Market Funds will


                                       12
<PAGE>

be compared with funds within Lipper's money market fund category.  Rankings may
be listed among one or more of the asset-size classes as determined by Lipper.

         Since the assets in all funds are  always  changing,  the Money  Market
Funds  may be  ranked  within  one  Lipper  asset-size  class at one time and in
another Lipper asset-size class at some other time.  Footnotes in advertisements
and  other  marketing  literature  will  include  the  time  period  and  Lipper
asset-size class, as applicable, for the ranking in question.

         From time to time, in marketing pieces and other fund  literature,  the
yield  of  one or  more  of the  Money  Market  Funds  may  be  compared  to the
performance  of broad groups of comparable  mutual funds,  unmanaged  indices of
comparable securities, bank money market deposit accounts and fixed-rate insured
certificates  of deposit  ("CDs"),  or unmanaged  indices of securities that are
comparable  to money  market  funds in their terms and intent,  such as Treasury
bills, bankers' acceptances,  negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts, and
money  market  certificates.  Most bank CDs differ  from money  market  funds in
several  ways:  the  interest  rate is fixed  for the term of the CD,  there are
interest  penalties  for  early  withdrawal  of the  deposit,  and  the  deposit
principal is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation.  Evaluations
of  Fund  performance   made  by  independent   sources  may  also  be  used  in
advertisements concerning the Money Market Funds. In addition, from time to time
the Company may advertise what an initial  $10,000  investment in one or more of
its  portfolios  would  grow to over a  five-year  period as  compared  to other
institutional  money market funds with similar  investment  objectives and their
related rankings, all as computed by IBC/Donoghue,  Inc. Sources for any and all
performance information may include, but are not limited to:

         IBC/Donoghue's   Money  Fund  Report,  a  weekly   publication  of  the
IBC/Donoghue's Organization, Inc., of Holliston, Massachusetts, reporting on the
performance  of the nation's money market funds,  summarizing  money market fund
activity, and including certain averages as performance benchmarks, specifically
"Donoghue's Money Fund Averages  m/Tax-Free Money  Funds/Institutions-only"  and
"Donoghue's Money Fund Average m/Institutions-only."

         Bank Rate Monitor,  a weekly  newsletter,  published by the Advertising
News Service,  Inc.,  that includes a national  index of bank money market rates
and yields on CDs and other bank depository instruments of varied maturities for
the 100 leading  banks and  thrifts in the  nation's  top 10 Census  Statistical
Metropolitan Areas.

                                   THE PROGRAM

         Scudder  Treasurers  Trust(TM)  (the  "Program")  is  a  corporate  and
institutional  cash investment program with respect to the Funds. The Program is
designed   especially  for  treasurers  and  financial  officers  of  small  and
middle-sized   corporations  and  financial   institutions.   The  Funds  reduce
substantially  the costs and  inconvenience  of direct  investment in individual
securities.  They help reduce risk by  diversifying  investments  across a broad
range of securities.  They also provide flexibility since shares can be redeemed
from or exchanged between any of the Funds at no extra cost.

         The Money Market Funds seek to provide busy  executives with assistance
in  the  professional  management  of  their  cash  reserves.  These  executives
frequently  engage  experts  (meaning  experienced  professionals)  for services
requiring specialized  knowledge and expertise.  The investment of liquid assets
is one such  service.  Each of the Funds has a  different  objective  and offers
full-time  professional  reserve  asset  management,  which  is  frequently  not
available  from  traditional  cash  management  providers.  The Program can help
institutional cash managers take advantage of today's  investment  opportunities
and techniques to improve the performance of their liquid assets.

         The  Funds  allow   small  and   middle-sized   businesses   and  other
institutions  to take  advantage of the  investment  management  services of the
Adviser.  The  Adviser's   investment  counsel  clients  include   corporations,
foundations,  institutions,  insurance companies, endowments, trusts, retirement
plans and individuals.

         The Money Market Funds also anticipate  lower expense ratios than those
of money market mutual funds designed for individual investors because the Money
Market Funds'  average  account  balances are normally  higher than those of the
average money market fund. The Program also offers special services designed for
the convenience of corporate and institutional treasurers.

         Each of the Money  Market  Funds  seeks to provide the  combination  of
price stability,  liquidity and current income that treasurers often require for
liquid assets such as operating reserves.

                              SHAREHOLDER BENEFITS

           (See "Shareholders Benefits" in the Company's Prospectuses)

         Special Monthly Summary of Accounts.  A special service is available to
banks,  brokers,  investment  advisers,  trust  companies  and others who have a
number of accounts in any Fund. In addition to the copy of the regular Statement
of Account furnished to the registered holder after each transaction,  a monthly
summary of accounts  can be  provided.  The monthly  summary  will show for each
account the account  number,  the month-end  share balance and the dividends and
distributions  paid during the month. All costs of this service will be borne by
the Company. For information on the special monthly summary of accounts, contact
the Company.

         IRAs. A form of individual  retirement account ("IRA") is available for
investment  in shares of any active Fund of the Company.  Individuals,  who have
not attained 70-1/2 years of age, may make  tax-deductible  IRA contributions of
up to $2,000 annually ($2,250 if contributions are made to separate IRAs for the
contributor  and a  nonworking  spouse  and  a  joint  return  is  filed).  Such
deductions, however, are reduced or eliminated if the individual or, in the case
of  a  married   individual  filing  jointly,   either  the  individual  or  the
individual's spouse is an active participant in an employer-sponsored retirement
plan, depending on adjusted gross income.

         In addition,  individuals who have received certain  distributions from
qualified  plans or other  IRAs are  eligible  to  establish  an IRA by making a
rollover contribution.

         Individuals may also make  nondeductible IRA contributions in an amount
equal  to  the  $2,000  (or  $2,250)  contribution  limit  less  any  deductible
contributions  for the  year.  As with  deductible  contributions,  taxes on the
income from such contributions will be deferred until distributed from the IRA.

         Scudder  Trust  Company has agreed to serve as custodian of the IRA and
furnish the  services  provided  for in the  Custody  Agreement.  Scudder  Trust
Company will charge  individuals  establishing an IRA an application fee as well
as certain  additional  fees for its services  under the Custody  Agreement.  In
accordance  with IRS  regulations,  an individual may revoke an IRA within seven
calendar days after it is established.

         Distributions  prior to death,  disability  or attainment of age 59-1/2
will  generally  result  in a 10%  excise  tax on  the  amount  distributed.  In
addition,  distributions  to a participant in an IRA must commence by April 1 of
the calendar year following the year such participant attains age 70-1/2.

         For  additional  information  required for  adopting an IRA,  including
information on fees, obtain the form of Custody Agreement and related materials,
including  disclosure  materials,  available  from the  Company.  The  foregoing
discussion is provided for your general information.  Because the application of
the tax  provisions  discussed  above  will  vary  depending  on the  particular
individual's  situation,  consultation  with a legal advisor regarding an IRA is
strongly recommended.

                              COMPANY ORGANIZATION

           (See "Company Organization" in the Company's Prospectuses)

 
         The Company was formed on June 18, 1982 as a corporation under the laws
of the State of Maryland.  The authorized  capital stock of the Company consists
of  10,000,000,000  shares  having  a par  value  of  $.001  per  share of which
3,000,000,000  shares each have been designated for the Government Fund and Cash
Fund,  1,000,000,000  shares each have been  designated for the Federal Fund and
Tax-Free Fund and 100,000,000  shares have been designated for the  Intermediate
Government Fund. The Company's Articles of Incorporation  authorize the Board of
Directors  to classify  or  reclassify  any  unissued  shares of capital  stock.
Pursuant to that  authority,  the Board of  Directors  has created  twenty-eight
classes  constituting  the Government  Fund,  Federal Fund, Cash Fund,  Tax-Free
Fund,  Intermediate  Government Fund, Managed Municipal Income Fund, Managed New
York Municipal Income Fund,  Managed Total Return Fund,  Managed Cash Plus Fund,
Managed  Global  Equity Fund,  Managed  Emerging  Markets  Equity Fund,  Managed

create  other  classes  of  capital  stock  representing  shares  of  additional
portfolios.
 

         Generally,  all shares of the Company have equal voting rights and will
be voted in the  aggregate,  and not by class,  except  where voting by class is
required by law or where the matter  involved  affects  only one class,  such as
with  respect to approval of an  investment  advisory  agreement or a Rule 12b-1
plan.  As  used  in  the  Prospectuses  and  in  this  Statement  of  Additional
Information, the term "majority", when referring to the approvals to be obtained
from shareholders in connection with general matters affecting the Funds and all
additional  portfolios  (e.g.,  election  of  directors),  means the vote of the
lesser  of (i) 67% of the  Company's  shares  represented  at a  meeting  if the
holders of more than 50% of the  outstanding  shares are present in person or by
proxy,  or (ii)  more than 50% of the  Company's  outstanding  shares.  The term
"majority",  when referring to the approvals to be obtained from shareholders in
connection  with matters  affecting a single Fund or any other single  portfolio
(e.g., annual approval of investment  management  contracts),  means the vote of
the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the portfolio represented at a meeting if
the  holders of more than 50% of the  outstanding  shares of the  portfolio  are
present in person or by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the  outstanding  shares
of the portfolio. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held
and fractional votes for fractional shares held.

         Each share of a Fund of the Company  represents an equal  proportionate
interest  in that Fund with each other share of the same Fund and is entitled to
such  dividends  and  distributions  out  of the  income  earned  on the  assets
belonging to that Fund as are declared in the discretion of the Company's  Board
of Directors.  In the event of the  liquidation  or  dissolution of the Company,
shares of a Fund are  entitled to receive the assets  attributable  to that Fund
that are available for  distribution,  and a proportionate  distribution,  based
upon  the  relative  net  assets  of  the  Funds,  of  any  general  assets  not
attributable to a Fund that are available for distribution.

         Shareholders  are not entitled to any  preemptive  rights.  All shares,
when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company.

                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

 (See "Company Organization--Investment Adviser" in the Company's Prospectuses)

 
         The Company retains Scudder,  Stevens & Clark,  Inc. (the "Adviser") as
investment  adviser  on  behalf  of each of the  Funds  pursuant  to  Investment
Advisory  Agreements  (the  "Agreements").  The  Adviser  is  one  of  the  most
experienced investment counsel firms in the U.S. It was established in 1919 as a
partnership  and  was  restructured  as a  Delaware  corporation  in  1985.  The
principal  source of the  Adviser's  income is  professional  fees received from
providing   continuing   investment  advice.  The  Adviser's   subsidiary,   the
Distributor,  acts as principal  underwriter  for shares of registered  open-end
investment   companies.   The  Adviser  provides  investment  counsel  for  many
individuals  and  institutions,   including  insurance  companies,   endowments,
industrial corporations and financial and banking organizations.  As of December
31, 1995,  the Adviser and its  affiliates  had in excess of $100 billion  under
their   supervision,   approximately   two-thirds   of  which  was  invested  in
fixed-income securities.
 

         The  Adviser  maintains  a  research   department  with  more  than  50
professionals,  which  conducts  continuous  studies of the factors  that affect
various industries,  companies and individual  securities in the U.S. as well as
abroad.  In this  work  the  Adviser  utilizes  reports,  statistics  and  other
investment  information  from a wide variety of sources,  including  brokers and
dealers who may execute portfolio  transactions for the Portfolios and for other
clients of the Adviser.  Investment  decisions,  however, are based primarily on
investigations  and critical analyses by the Adviser's own research  specialists
and portfolio managers.

         The Adviser may give advice and take action with  respect to any of its
other clients,  which may differ from advice given or from the time or nature of
action taken with respect to a Portfolio  of the Company.  If these  clients and
such  Portfolio are  simultaneously  buying or selling a security with a limited


                                       15
<PAGE>

market, the price may be adversely  affected.  In addition,  the Adviser may, on
behalf of other  clients,  furnish  financial  advice or be  involved  in tender
offers or  merger  proposals  relating  to  companies  in which  such  Portfolio
invests.  The best interests of any Portfolio may or may not be consistent  with
the  achievement  of the objectives of the other persons for whom the Adviser is
providing  advice or for whom they are  acting.  Where a  possible  conflict  is
apparent,  the Adviser will follow  whatever course of action is in its judgment
in the best  interests  of the  Portfolio.  The Adviser may consult  independent
third persons in reaching its decision.

         Subject to policy  established  by the  Company's  Board of  Directors,
which has overall  responsibility for the business and affairs of each Fund, the
Adviser manages the operations of the Funds.  In addition to providing  advisory
services,  the  Adviser  furnishes  office  space  and  certain  facilities  and
personnel required for conducting the business of the Funds and the Adviser pays
the compensation of the Company's officers,  directors and employees  affiliated
with the Adviser or its  affiliates.  Although  the Adviser  currently  pays the
compensation,  as well as certain expenses, of all officers and employees of the
Company who are affiliated with the Adviser or its affiliates,  the terms of the
Agreements  state that the Adviser is not obligated to pay the  compensation and
expenses of the Company's clerical employees other than those providing advisory
services.  The Adviser,  however,  has  represented  to the  Company's  Board of
Directors that its current intention is to continue to pay such compensation and
expenses.

         Each Money  Market  Fund is charged a  management  fee at an equal rate
equal to 0.40% of the first $1.5  billion of average  daily net assets and 0.35%
of such assets in excess of $1.5 billion.  The  Intermediate  Government Fund is
charged a  management  fee at an annual rate of 0.65% of its  average  daily net
assets. Management fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

 
         For the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,  management fees
paid to the Adviser were  $62,892 for the  Government  Fund,  $0 for the Federal
Fund,  $1,045,111 for the Cash Fund,  $530,696 for the Tax-Free Fund and $17,459
for the Intermediate Government Fund. Had the Adviser not waived $211,734 of its
management  fee for the Government  Fund,  $43,217 of its management fee for the
Federal Fund,  $474,280 of its  management  fee for the Cash Fund and $65,963 of
its management fee for the  Intermediate  Government Fund, the total fee paid by
each such  Fund in 1995  would  have  been  $274,626,  $43,217,  $1,519,391  and
$83,422, respectively.
 

         For the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1994,  management fees
paid to the Adviser were  $80,152 for the  Government  Fund,  $0 for the Federal
Fund, $948,135 for the Cash Fund, $498,692 for the Tax-Free Fund and $79,747 for
the  Intermediate  Government  Fund. Had the Adviser not waived  $221,083 of its
management  fee for the Government  Fund,  $52,196 of its management fee for the
Federal Fund,  $458,399 of its  management  fee for the Cash Fund and $62,965 of
its management fee for the  Intermediate  Government Fund, the total fee paid by
each such  Fund in 1994  would  have  been  $301,235,  $52,196,  $1,406,534  and
$142,712, respectively.

         For the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1993,  management fees
paid to the Adviser were  $192,363 for the  Government  Fund, $0 for the Federal
Fund,  $1,042,421  for the Cash Fund,  $460,375 for the Tax-Free Fund and $0 for
the  Intermediate  Government  Fund. Had the Adviser not waived  $234,532 of its
management  fee for the Government  Fund,  $46,632 of its management fee for the
Federal Fund,  $380,095 of its  management  fee for the Cash Fund and $62,233 of
its management fee for the  Intermediate  Government Fund, the total fee paid by
each such  Fund in 1993  would  have  been  $426,895,  $46,632,  $1,422,516  and
$62,233, respectively.
  

         Each of the  Agreements  provides that the relevant Fund pay all of its
expenses  that  are  not   specifically   assumed  by  the  Adviser.   (Expenses
attributable to each Fund will be charged against the assets of that Fund, other
expenses of the Company will be allocated among the Funds in a manner which may,
but need not,  be  proportionately  in relation to the net assets of each Fund.)
Expenses  payable  by each  of the  Funds  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,
organizational  expenses;  clerical  salaries;  brokerage and other  expenses of
executing portfolio transactions;  legal, auditing or accounting expenses; trade
association  dues;  taxes or  governmental  fees;  the fees and  expenses of the
transfer  agent of the Fund;  the cost of preparing  share  certificates  or any
other expenses,  including clerical expenses of issue,  redemption or repurchase
of shares of the Fund;  the expenses  and fees for  registering  and  qualifying
securities  for sale; the fees of Directors of the Company who are not employees
or affiliates of the Adviser or its affiliates; travel expenses of all officers,
directors  and  employees;   insurance  premiums;  the  cost  of  preparing  and
distributing reports and notices to shareholders;  and the fees or disbursements
of custodians of the Fund's assets.

                                       16
<PAGE>

 
         Each of the Agreements provides that if, in any fiscal year, the "total
expenses"  of the relevant  Fund ("total  expenses"  generally  excludes  taxes,
interest,  brokerage commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses, other
expenditures  that  are  capitalized  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted
accounting principles and extraordinary  expenses,  but including the management
fee)  exceed the  expense  limitations  applicable  to such Fund  imposed by the
securities  regulations of any state, the Adviser will pay or reimburse the Fund
for  the  excess.  Each of the  Agreements,  however,  limits  such  payment  or
reimbursement  to the amount of the annual  management fee otherwise  payable by
the Fund.  It is believed  that  currently  the most  restrictive  state  annual
expense limitation is 2.5% of the first $30,000,000 of average daily net assets,
2%  of  the  next  $70,000,000  and  1.5%  of  average  daily  net  assets  over
$100,000,000.  For the three years ended  December 31, 1995, the Adviser has not
had to reimburse any Fund because of these limitations.
 

         Each of the  Agreements  will  continue  in  effect  from  year to year
provided such continuance is approved  annually (i) by the holders of a majority
of the respective Fund's outstanding voting securities or by the Company's Board
of Directors  and (ii) by a majority of the directors of the Company who are not
parties to the  investment  management  contract  or  "interested  persons"  (as
defined  in the  1940  Act) of any such  party.  Each of the  Agreements  may be
terminated  on 60 days'  written  notice  by  either  party  and will  terminate
automatically if assigned.

Personal Investments by Employees of the Adviser

         Employees  of the Adviser are  permitted  to make  personal  securities
transactions,  subject  to  requirements  and  restrictions  set  forth  in  the
Adviser's  Code  of  Ethics.   The  Code  of  Ethics  contains   provisions  and
requirements  designed to identify  and address  certain  conflicts  of interest
between personal investment  activities and the interests of investment advisory
clients  such as the  Funds.  Among  other  things,  the Code of  Ethics,  which
generally  complies  with  standards   recommended  by  the  Investment  Company
Institute's  Advisory Group on Personal  Investing,  prohibits  certain types of
transactions  absent prior approval,  imposes time periods during which personal
transactions may not be made in certain securities,  and requires the submission
of  duplicate  broker   confirmations   and  monthly   reporting  of  securities
transactions.  Additional  restrictions  apply to portfolio  managers,  traders,
research  analysts  and others  involved  in the  investment  advisory  process.
Exceptions to these and other provisions of the Code of Ethics may be granted in
particular circumstances after review by appropriate personnel.

                                   DISTRIBUTOR

     (See "Company Organization--Distributor" in the Company's Prospectuses)

 
         Pursuant to a contract  with the Company,  Scudder  Investor  Services,
Inc. (the "Distributor"),  a subsidiary of the Adviser,  serves as the Company's
principal  underwriter in connection with a continuous offering of shares of the
Company.  The Distributor receives no remuneration for its services as principal
underwriter  and is not obligated to sell any specific amount of Company shares.
As principal underwriter,  it accepts purchase orders for shares of the Company.
In addition, the Underwriting Agreement obligates the Distributor to pay certain
expenses in connection with the offering of the shares of the Company. After the
Prospectuses and periodic reports have been prepared,  set in type and mailed to
shareholders,  the  Distributor  will pay for the printing and  distribution  of
copies thereof used in connection  with the offering to  prospective  investors.
The Distributor will also pay for supplemental  sales literature and advertising
costs.
 

             SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH BANKS AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS

          (See "Special Arrangements with Banks and Other Institutions"
                         in the Company's Prospectuses)

         As  indicated  under  "Special   Arrangements   with  Banks  and  Other
Institutions"  in the  Prospectuses,  the  Company  and the  Adviser  enter into
special  contractual  arrangements  with  certain  banks and other  institutions
(collectively,  "Participating  Organizations") that process substantial volumes
of purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds for their  customers.  Under
such contractual  arrangements,  the transfer agent will ordinarily  maintain an
omnibus  account  for  a  Participating  Organization,   and  the  Participating
Organization will maintain  sub-accounts for its customers for whom it processes
purchases  and  redemptions  of  shares  of  the  Funds.   The  Company  pays  a
Participating  Organization  to  the  extent  that  it  performs  a  shareholder
servicing  function  for the Company  with  respect to shares of the Funds owned
from  time  to  time  by  customers  of the  Participating  Organization.  These
shareholder services,  which would otherwise have been performed for the Company
by its transfer agent,  generally include providing office space,  equipment and


                                       17
<PAGE>

various  personnel  as  necessary to (i) maintain an account in the name of each
investor reflecting purchases,  redemptions, daily dividend accruals and monthly
dividend  disbursements,  (ii)  process  purchase  and  redemption  requests and
dividend  payments  and  reinvestments,  (iii)  prepare and mail  statements  of
account  and (iv)  address  and mail all  communications  by the  Company to its
shareholders,  including financial reports,  other reports to shareholders,  tax
notices and proxy statements. In certain cases the Adviser of a Fund also pays a
Participating  Organization for providing other  administrative  services to its
customers who invest in such Fund where these  services would have been provided
to shareholders  by the Adviser.  Those services  typically  consist of handling
general  shareholder  relations with investors in the Funds, such as information
as to the status of their accounts,  the current yield and dividends declared to
date and assistance with other questions related to their accounts.

 
         Payments  by  the  Company  to a  Participating  Organization  for  the
shareholder  services  described  above  are  calculated  on  the  basis  of the
estimated charge by the transfer agent for providing comparable  services.  Such
payments are separately negotiated with each Participating Organization and vary
depending  upon such factors as the services  provided and the costs incurred by
the Participating Organization.  Payments by the Company will be made monthly at
an annual  rate that is not  expected to exceed  0.25% of the average  daily net
asset  value of  shares  of any Fund  owned by  customers  of the  Participating
Organization.  Payments by the Company to Participating  Organizations  for 1995
amounted to $131,765  for the  Government  Fund,  $23,678 for the Federal  Fund,
$552,643  for the Cash Fund,  $263,795  for the  Tax-Free  Fund and $804 for the
Intermediate  Government  Fund.  Payments  by  the  Adviser  to a  Participating
Organization for the administrative services described above, to the extent such
payments are made, will be paid out of the Adviser's investment  management fee,
past  profits or any other source  available to it. For the year ended  December
31,  1995  payments by the Adviser  pursuant  to these  arrangements  aggregated
$41,216 for the Government  Fund,  $8,609 for the Federal Fund,  $93,036 for the
Cash  Fund,  $50,827  for the  Tax-Free  Fund  and  $804  for  the  Intermediate
Government Fund.  Arrangements with Participating  Organizations,  which will be
subject to  contractual  agreement  between the parties and may be terminated by
the  Company  without  cause  and in  its  sole  discretion,  will  be  reviewed
periodically by the Company's Board of Directors.
 

         A Participating Organization may charge its customer one or more of the
following types of fees, as agreed upon by the  Participating  Organization  and
the customer, with respect to the cash management or other services it provides:
account fees (a fixed amount per month or per year);  transaction  fees (a fixed
amount per transaction processed);  compensating balance requirements (a minimum
dollar amount a customer must maintain in order to obtain the services offered);
or account  maintenance  fees (a periodic  charge based upon a percentage of the
assets  in the  account  or of the  dividends  paid on those  assets).  Services
provided by a Participating Organization to its customers are in addition to and
not  duplicative  of the  services for which the Company or the Adviser may make
payments   pursuant  to  the   arrangements   described   above.   Participating
Organizations  and other interested  investors may obtain  Prospectuses from the
Distributor  upon  request.  No  preference  will be shown in the  selection  of
portfolio   investments  of  any  Fund  for  the  instruments  of  Participating
Organizations.  Payments by each of the Funds and the  Adviser to  Participating
Organizations in respect of shareholder services and administration discussed in
this  section  may be made under the  Shareholder  Service,  Administration  and
Distribution Plan discussed below.

         There are currently  unresolved issues with respect to existing federal
laws and regulations  relating to the permissible  activities of banks and trust
companies, including the extent to which certain Participating Organizations may
perform the  shareholder  and  administrative  services  described  herein.  See
"Special Arrangements with Banks and Other Institutions" in the Prospectuses. In
addition,  Participating  Organizations  may be  required to register as dealers
under  state  securities  laws in  connection  with  the  performance  of  these
services.

            SHAREHOLDER SERVICE, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN

        (See "Shareholder Service, Administration and Distribution Plan"
                         in the Company's Prospectuses)

         As  indicated  in the  Prospectuses,  each of the Funds  has  adopted a
Shareholder  Service,  Administration  and Distribution  Plan (the "Plan") under
Section 12(b) of the 1940 Act and Rule 12b-1 thereunder (the "Rule").

         Each Plan will continue in effect from year to year  thereafter if such
continuance  is approved by a majority vote of both the Directors of the Company
and a majority of the Directors who were not "interested persons" (as defined by
the 1940 Act) of the Funds and who had no direct or indirect  financial interest
in the  operation  of the Plan or in any  agreement  related  to the  Plan  (the
"Qualified Directors"). Agreements related to the Plans must also be approved by


                                       18
<PAGE>

such vote of the Directors and the Qualified  Directors.  Such  agreements  will
terminate  automatically if assigned, and may be terminated at any time, without
payment  of any  penalty,  by a vote of a  majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities of the proper Fund. No Plan may be amended to increase materially the
amounts payable to Service  Organizations  without the approval of a majority of
the outstanding  voting securities of the proper Fund and no material  amendment
to a Plan may be made except by a majority of both the  Directors of the Company
and the Qualified Directors.

         Each Plan  requires that the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide to the
Directors,  and the Directors shall review, at least quarterly, a written report
of the amounts  expended (and purposes  therefor)  under the Plan. The Rule also
requires that the selection and nomination of Directors who are not  "interested
persons" of the Company be made by such disinterested directors.

         As of April 1, 1996 no other  persons,  to the knowledge of management,
owned of record or beneficially  more than 5% of the  outstanding  shares of any
Fund. To the extent that any of the above  institutions is the beneficial  owner

                                  REMUNERATION

 
     Several of the  officers  and  Directors  of the Company may be officers or
employees of the Adviser, Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation,  Scudder Investor
Services,  Inc., Scudder Service Corporation or Scudder Trust Company, from whom
they  receive  compensation,  as a  result  of  which  they  may  be  deemed  to
participate  in  the  fees  paid  by  the  Company.  The  Funds  pay  no  direct
remuneration  to any  officer of the  Company.  However,  each of the  Company's
Directors who is not  affiliated  with the Adviser will be  compensated  for all
expenses  relating to Company business  (specifically  including travel expenses
relating  to  Company  business).  Until May 1, 1995 each of these  unaffiliated
Directors received from the Company  compensation in the amount of $250 per Fund
if the average daily net assets of each Fund are less than $500,000,000, or $500
per  Fund if the  average  daily  net  assets  of each  Fund  are in  excess  of
$500,000,000 for each of: quarterly  payments of the annual Director's fee, each
Directors' meeting, and each Board Committee meeting attended.  Effective May 1,
1995,  each  of  these   unaffiliated   Directors   received  from  the  Company
compensation  of $150  per  Fund  for each  Directors'  meeting  and each  Board
committee meeting  attended,  and an annual Director's fee of $500 for each Fund
with average daily net assets less than $100  million,  and $1,500 for each Fund
with average daily net assets in excess of $100 million,  payable quarterly. For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, such fees totaled $73,561.
 

The following Compensation Table, provides in tabular form, the following data.

 
Column (1) All Directors who receive compensation from the Company.*
Column (2) Aggregate  compensation  received by a Director from all Funds of the
Company.
Columns (3) and (4)  Pension or  retirement  benefits  accrued or proposed to be
paid by the Company.
Column (5) Total  compensation  received  by a Director  from the  Company  plus
compensation received from all funds managed by the Adviser for which a Director
serves.  The  total  number  of  funds  from  which  a  Director  receives  such
compensation is also provided in column (5). Generally, compensation received by
a Director for serving on the board of a Scudder closed-end fund is greater than
the  compensation  received by a Director  for serving on the board of a Scudder
open-end fund.

                                      TAXES

             (See "Distribution and Performance Information--Taxes"
                         in the Company's Prospectuses)

         The Prospectuses  describe generally the tax treatment of distributions
by the Company.  This section of the Statement includes  additional  information
concerning federal taxes.

         Qualification by each Fund as a regulated  investment company under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code")  requires,  among other things,  that
(a) at least 90% of the Fund's  annual gross income,  without  offset for losses
from the sale or other  disposition  of  securities,  be derived from  interest,
payments with respect to securities loans,  dividends and gains from the sale or
other  disposition  of securities or options  thereon;  (b) the Fund derive less
than 30% of its gross  income from gains  (without  offset for losses)  from the
sale or other  disposition  of securities or options  thereon held for less than
three  months;  and (c) the Fund  diversify  its holdings so that, at the end of
each  quarter of the taxable  year,  (i) at least 50% of the market value of the
Fund's assets is represented by cash, Government securities and other securities
limited in respect  of any one  issuer to an amount not  greater  than 5% of the
Fund's assets and 10% of the outstanding  voting securities of such issuer,  and
(ii) not more than 25% of the value of the  Fund's  assets  is  invested  in the
securities  of  any  one  issuer  (other  than  U.S.  government  securities  or
securities of other regulated investment  companies),  or of two or more issuers
which the taxpayer  controls and which are  determined to be engaged in the same
or similar trade or business.  As a regulated investment company, each Fund will
not be  subject  to  federal  income  tax on its net  investment  income and net
capital gains distributed to its  shareholders,  provided that it distributes to
its stockholders at least 90% of its net taxable  investment  income  (including
net  short-term  capital  gain) and at least 90% of the excess of its tax exempt
interest  income  over  attributable  expenses  earned in each year.  Investment
income of a Fund includes,  among other things, accretion of market and original
issue  discount,  even  though the Fund will not  receive  current  payments  on
discount obligations.  In addition,  the Tax-Free Fund intends that at least 50%
of the value of its total  assets at the close of each  quarter  of its  taxable
year will consist of  obligations,  the interest on which is exempt from federal
income tax, so that the Fund will qualify under the Code to pay  exempt-interest
dividends.

         A 4%  nondeductible  excise tax will be imposed on a Fund  (except  the
Tax-Free Fund to the extent of its tax-exempt  income) to the extent it does not
meet certain minimum distribution requirements by the end of each calendar year.
For this  purpose,  any income or gain retained by a Fund that is subject to tax
will be considered to have been distributed by year-end. In addition,  dividends
declared in October, November or December payable to shareholders of record on a
specified date in such a month and paid in the following January will be treated
as having been paid by each Fund and received by  shareholders on December 31 of
the calendar year in which the dividend was declared.  Each Fund intends that it
will timely  distribute  substantially  all of its net investment income and net
capital gains and, thus, expects not to be subject to the excise tax.

 
         Any gain or loss realized upon a sale or redemption of shares of a Fund
by a  shareholder  who is not a dealer in  securities  is  generally  treated as
long-term  capital  gain or loss if the shares  have been held for more than one
year  and  otherwise  as  short-term  capital  gain or loss.  However,  any loss
realized by a  shareholder  upon the sale or redemption of shares of a Fund held
for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any
long-term  capital  gain  distribution  received  by the  shareholder.  Any loss
realized by a shareholder  upon the sale or redemption of shares of the Tax-Free
Fund  held  for  six  months  or  less  is  disallowed  to  the  extent  of  any
exempt-interest dividends received by the shareholder.

         Gains or losses on sales of  securities  by a Fund  will  generally  be
long-term  capital  gains or losses if the  securities  have been held by it for
more than one year,  except in certain  cases  where the Fund  acquires a put or
writes a call thereon.  Other gains or losses on the sale of securities  will be
short-term capital gains or losses.
 

         Exempt-interest   dividends  allocable  to  interest  received  by  the
Tax-Free Fund, on certain "private activity"  obligations issued after August 7,
1986 will be treated as interest on such  obligations and thus will give rise to
an item of tax preference that will increase a shareholder's alternative minimum
taxable income. Exempt-interest dividends paid to a corporate shareholder by the
Tax-Free Fund (whether or not from interest on private  activity  bonds) will be
taken into account (i) in determining the alternative minimum tax imposed on 75%
of the excess of adjusted  current  earnings of the corporation over alternative
minimum taxable income, (ii) in calculating the environmental tax equal to 0.12%
of a corporation's  modified  alternative minimum taxable income in excess of $2
million,  and (iii) in determining the foreign branch profits tax imposed on the


                                       22
<PAGE>

effectively  connected  earnings  and  profits  tax (with  adjustments)  of U.S.
branches of foreign corporations.

         Any loss  realized  on a sale or  exchange  of shares of a Fund will be
disallowed  to the extent shares of such Fund are  reacquired  within the 61-day
period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the shares are disposed
of.

         Income from the Federal Fund and  Tax-Free  Fund may not be exempt from
certain state and local taxes.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

         Subject to the  supervision  of the Board of Directors,  the Adviser is
primarily  responsible for the investment decisions of each of the Funds and the
placing of such Funds'  portfolio  transactions.  In placing  orders,  it is the
policy of the  Adviser to obtain the most  favorable  net  results,  taking into
account such factors as price, size of order,  difficulty of execution and skill
required  of the  executing  broker.  While  the  Adviser  will  generally  seek
reasonably competitive spreads or commissions, the Funds will not necessarily be
paying the lowest spread or commission available.

         To the maximum extent feasible, the Adviser places orders for portfolio
transactions for the Funds through the Distributor,  which in turn places orders
on behalf of the Funds. The Distributor  receives no commissions,  fees or other
remuneration   from  the  Funds  for  this  service.   Allocation  of  portfolio
transactions by the Distributor is supervised by the Adviser.

         The Funds'  purchases and sales of portfolio  securities  are generally
placed  by the  Adviser  with the  issuer or a  primary  market  maker for these
securities on a net basis,  without any brokerage  commissions being paid by the
Funds.  Trading,  however,  does involve  transaction  costs.  Transactions with
dealers  serving as primary market makers reflect the spread between the bid and
asked prices.  Transaction costs may also include fees paid to third parties for
information as to potential purchasers or sellers of securities but only for the
purpose of seeking for the Funds the most favorable net results,  including such
fees, on a particular transaction. Purchases of underwritten issues may be made,
which  will  include an  underwriting  fee paid to the  underwriter.  During the
Company's last three fiscal years, the Funds paid no brokerage commissions.

         Research and Statistical Information.  When it can be done consistently
with the policy of obtaining the most favorable net results, it is the Adviser's
practice to place orders with brokers and dealers who supply  market  quotations
to the fund accounting agent of the Funds for valuation purposes,  or who supply
research,  market  and  statistical  information  to  the  Adviser.  Except  for
implementing  the policy stated above,  there is no intention on the part of the
Adviser to place portfolio  transactions  with particular  brokers or dealers or
groups thereof, and the Adviser does not place orders with brokers or dealers on
the basis that such  broker or dealer  has or has not sold  shares of the Funds.
Although such  research,  market and  statistical  information  is useful to the
Adviser, it is the Adviser's opinion that such information is only supplementary
to their own research  efforts,  since the  information  must still be analyzed,
weighed and reviewed by the staff of the Adviser.  Information  so received will
be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services  required to be performed by
the Adviser under the investment  advisory  agreements  with the Funds,  and the
expenses  of the  Adviser  will not  necessarily  be  reduced as a result of the
receipt of such  information.  Such  information may be useful to the Adviser in
providing services to clients other than the Funds, and not all such information
is used by the Adviser in connection with the Funds.

                                 NET ASSET VALUE

 
         Net asset value per share for each Fund is  determined  by Scudder Fund
Accounting Corporation, a subsidiary of the Adviser, on each day the Exchange is
open for trading.  The net asset value per share of each Fund is  determined  at
2:00 p.m. (eastern time). The net asset value per share of each Fund is computed
by dividing the value of the total assets of the Fund, less all liabilities,  by
the total number of  outstanding  shares of the Fund.  The Exchange is closed on
Saturdays,  Sundays, and on New Year's Day, Presidents' Day (the third Monday in
February), Good Friday, Memorial Day (the last Monday in May), Independence Day,
Labor Day (the first Monday in  September),  Thanksgiving  Day and Christmas Day
(collectively,  the  "Holidays").  When any  Holiday  falls on a  Saturday,  the
Exchange is closed the preceding Friday, and when any Holiday falls on a Sunday,
the Exchange is closed the  following  Monday.  Although the Company  intends to
declare  dividends  with  respect to each of its Money Market Funds on all other
 


                                       23
<PAGE>

days,  including  Martin  Luther  King,  Jr. Day (the third  Monday in January),
Columbus Day (the second  Monday in October) and Veterans'  Day, no  redemptions
will be made on these three bank holidays nor on any of the Holidays.

         As  indicated  under  "Transaction  Information--Share  Price"  in  the
Prospectuses, each Money Market Fund uses the amortized cost method to determine
the value of its portfolio  securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.
The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost and amortizing
any discount or premium over the period until maturity, regardless of the impact
of fluctuating  interest  rates on the market value of the security.  While this
method  provides  certainty in valuation,  it may result in periods during which
the value,  as determined  by amortized  cost, is higher or lower than the price
that the Fund would receive if the security were sold.  During these periods the
yield to a  shareholder  may differ  somewhat  from that which could be obtained
from a similar  fund that uses a method of valuation  based upon market  prices.
Thus,  during periods of declining  interest  rates, if the use of the amortized
cost method resulted in a lower value of a Fund's portfolio on a particular day,
a  prospective  investor in that Fund would be able to obtain a somewhat  higher
yield than would result from  investment in a fund using solely  market  values,
and existing Fund shareholders  would receive  correspondingly  less income. The
converse would apply during periods of rising interest rates.

         Rule  2a-7  provides  that in order to value  its  portfolio  using the
amortized  cost method,  each Money Market Fund must maintain a  dollar-weighted
average  portfolio  maturity  of 90 days or  less,  purchase  securities  having
remaining maturities (as defined in Rule 2a-7) of no more than 397 calendar days
and invest only in securities determined by the Board of Directors to be of high
quality with minimal  credit  risks.  The maturity of an instrument is generally
deemed to be the  period  remaining  until the date  when the  principal  amount
thereof is due or the date on which the  instrument is to be redeemed.  However,
Rule 2a-7 provides that the maturity of an instrument  may be deemed  shorter in
the case of certain  instruments,  including  certain variable and floating rate
instruments  subject to demand  features.  Pursuant  to Rule 2a-7,  the Board is
required to establish procedures designed to stabilize, to the extent reasonably
possible,  such Fund's  price per share as computed for the purpose of sales and
redemptions at $1.00.  Such  procedures  include review of the Fund's  portfolio
holdings  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  at  such  intervals  as  it  may  deem
appropriate, to determine whether the Fund's net asset value calculated by using
available  market  quotations  deviates  from $1.00 per share based on amortized
cost. The extent of any deviation will be examined by the Board of Directors. If
such deviation  exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board will promptly consider what action,
if any, will be initiated.  In the event the Board  determines  that a deviation
exists that may result in material dilution or other unfair results to investors
or  existing  shareholders,  the Board  will take such  corrective  action as it
regards as appropriate,  including the redemption of shares in kind, the sale of
portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to
shorten average portfolio maturity,  withholding dividends or establishing a net
asset value per share by using available market quotations.

                                    APPENDIX

         The following is a description of the ratings given by Moody's, S&P and
Fitch to corporate and municipal bonds, corporate and municipal commercial paper
and municipal notes.

Corporate and Municipal Bonds
- -----------------------------

         Moody's: The four highest ratings for corporate and municipal bonds are
"Aaa,"  "Aa," "A" and  "Baa".  Bonds  rated  "Aaa" are judged to be of the "best
quality" and carry the smallest degree of investment  risk. Bonds rated "Aa" are
of "high quality by all  standards," but margins of protection or other elements
make long-term risks appear somewhat greater than "Aaa" rated bonds. Bonds rated
"A" possess many favorable investment  attributes and are considered to be upper
medium grade  obligations.  Bonds rated "Baa" are  considered to be medium grade
obligations,  neither  highly  protected  nor poorly  secured.  Moody's  applies
numerical  modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in each rating  category from "Aa" through "Baa"
in its rating  system.  The modifier 1 indicates  that the security ranks in the
higher end of the category;  the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range  ranking;  and
the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end.

         S&P: The four highest  ratings for corporate  and  municipal  bonds are
"AAA," "AA," "A" and "BBB".  Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest ratings assigned
by S&P  and  have  an  extremely  strong  capacity  to pay  interest  and  repay
principal.  Bonds rated "AA" have a "very  strong  capacity to pay  interest and
repay principal" and differ "from the higher rated issues only in small degree".
Bonds rated "A" have a "strong  capacity" to pay  interest and repay  principal,
but are "somewhat more  susceptible  to" adverse  effects of changes in economic
conditions or other  circumstances than bonds in higher rated categories.  Bonds
rated "BBB" are  regarded as having an  "adequate  capacity" to pay interest and
repay principal,  but changes in economic  conditions or other circumstances are
more likely to lead a "weakened  capacity"  to make such  payments.  The ratings
from "AA" to "BBB" may be  modified  by the  addition of a plus or minus sign to
show relative standing within the category.

         Fitch:  The four highest  ratings of Fitch for  corporate and municipal
bonds are "AAA,"  "AA," "A" and "BBB".  Bonds rated "AAA" are  considered  to be
investment-grade  and  of  the  highest  credit  quality.  The  obligor  has  an
exceptionally  strong  ability to pay  interest  and repay  principal,  which is
unlikely to be affected by reasonably  foreseeable events.  Bonds rated "AA" are
considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The obligor's
ability to pay interest and repay  principal is very strong,  although not quite
as  strong  as bonds  rated  "AAA".  Because  bonds  rated in the "AAA" and "AA"
categories are not significantly  vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally  rated "F1+".  Bonds rated "A" are
considered  to be  investment  grade and of high credit  quality.  The obligor's
ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong,  but may
be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic  conditions and  circumstances
than bonds with higher rates.  Bonds rated "BBB" are considered to be investment
grade and of satisfactory credit quality.  The obligor's ability to pay interest
and repay  principal is considered to be adequate.  Adverse  changes in economic
conditions and circumstances,  however,  are more likely to have adverse effects
on these bonds,  and therefore  impair timely  payment.  The likelihood that the
ratings of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds
with greater ratings.

Corporate and Municipal Commercial Paper
- ----------------------------------------

         Moody's:  The highest  rating for corporate  and  municipal  commercial
paper is "P-1"  (Prime-1).  Issuers  rated  "P-1" have a  "superior  ability for
repayment of senior short-term obligations".

         S&P: The "A-1" rating for  corporate  and  municipal  commercial  paper
indicates  that the  "degree of safety  regarding  timely  payment  is  strong".
Commercial  paper  with  "overwhelming  safety  characteristics"  will be  rated
"A-1+".

         Fitch: The rating "F-1" is the highest rating assigned by Fitch.  Among
the factors  considered by Fitch in assigning  this rating are: (1) the issuer's
liquidity;  (2) its standing in the industry;  (3) the size of its debt; (4) its
ability to service its debt;  (5) its  profitability;  (6) its return on equity;
(7) its  alternative  sources of  financing;  and (8) its  ability to access the
capital markets.  Analysis of the relative strength or weakness of these factors
and others determines whether an issuer's commercial paper is rated "F-1".


<PAGE>

Municipal Notes
- ---------------

         Moody's:  The  highest  ratings  for  state  and  municipal  short-term
obligations  are "MIG 1," "MIG 2," and "MIG 3" (or  "VMIG 1," "VMIG 2" and "VMIG
3" in the case of an issue having a variable rate demand  feature).  Notes rated
"MIG 1" or "VMIG 1" are judged to be of the "best quality".  Notes rated "MIG 2"
or "VMIG 2" are of "high  quality," with margins or protection  "ample  although
not as large as in the preceding group".  Notes rated "MIG 3" or "VMIG 3" are of
"favorable  quality," with all security  elements  accounted for but lacking the
strength of the preceding grades.

         S&P: The "SP-1"  rating  reflects a "very strong or strong  capacity to
pay   principal  and   interest".   Notes  issued  with   "overwhelming   safety
characteristics"   will  be  rated  "SP-1+".   The  "SP-2"  rating   reflects  a
"satisfactory capacity" to pay principal and interest.

         Fitch:   The  highest  ratings  for  state  and  municipal   short-term
obligations are "F-1+," "F-1," and "F-2".

Dear Shareholder:
     Operated exclusively for institutions and their clients, Scudder Fund,
Inc., which includes Managed Government Securities Fund, Managed Federal
Securities Fund, Managed Cash Fund, and Managed Tax-Free Fund, provided
competitive investment results in 1995. These four money market Funds seek to
provide a high level of income while preserving capital and maintaining
liquidity.
     All four Funds seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00, and have done
so since their inception (although this cannot be guaranteed). The Managed
Federal Securities Fund seeks to maximize income exempt from state and local
income taxes, while the Managed Tax-Free Fund seeks to provide income exempt
from Federal income tax.
     Aggregate net assets were $568 million on December 31, 1995, compared to
$573 million at the start of the year. A table showing dividend payments and
other financial information for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995 is on
page 16. This table also shows dividend payments and financial information for
each Fund for the five years ended December 31 (except the Managed Federal
Securities Fund, which commenced operations on July 17, 1991). In addition,
please see the following pages for audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1995, as well as a list of each Fund's investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION 

        Scudder Fund, Inc. (the "Company") is an open-end diversified management
investment company which currently includes four active money market investment
portfolios: Managed Government Securities Fund, Managed Federal Securities Fund,
Managed Cash Fund, and Managed Tax-Free Fund (collectively, the "Funds").

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

        Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are:

        (a) Security Valuation-Each of the Funds values its investments using
the amortized cost method, which involves initially valuing an investment at its
cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium
or discount. This method results in a value approximating market.

        (b) Federal Income Taxes-The Company's policy is to qualify each Fund as
a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
and to distribute all taxable and tax-exempt income, including any realized net
capital gains, to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is
required.

        (c) Allocation of Expenses-Expenses not directly chargeable to a
specific Fund are allocated primarily on the basis of relative net assets of the
Company.

        (d) Dividends-Dividends from net investment income are declared each
business day to shareholders of record that day for payment on the first
business day of the following month.

        (e) Organization Costs-Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its
organization and initial registration of shares have been deferred and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period.

        (f) Other-Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Interest
income, including the accretion or amortization of discount or premium, is
recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on securities purchased are
accreted or amortized, respectively, on a straight line basis over the life of
the respective securities. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend dates.

        The Managed Cash Fund must have at least 25% of its investment portfolio
invested in bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposits, commercial paper,
fixed time deposits or other obligations of domestic and foreign banks.

3.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS 

        It is the Company's policy to obtain possession, through its custodian,
of the securities underlying each repurchase agreement to which it is a party,
either through physical delivery or book entry transfer in the Federal Reserve
System or Participants Trust Company. Payment by the Company in respect of a
repurchase agreement is authorized only when proper delivery of the underlying
securities is made to the Company's custodian. The Company's investment manager
values such underlying securities each business day using quotations obtained
from a reputable, independent source. If the Company's investment manager
determines that the value of such underlying securities (including accrued
interest thereon) does not at least equal the value of each repurchase agreement
(including accrued interest thereon) to which such securities are subject, it
will ask for additional securities to be delivered to the Company's custodian.
In connection with each repurchase agreement transaction, if the seller defaults
and the value of the collateral declines or if the seller enters an insolvency
proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or
limited.

4.  MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES 

        The Company retains Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. ("Scudder") as
investment manager for the Funds, pursuant to investment advisory agreements
between Scudder and the Company on behalf of each such Fund, for a management
fee payable each month, based upon the average daily value of each Fund's net
assets, at annual rates of 0.40% on the first $1.5 billion and 0.35% on any
amount in excess thereof. Scudder has agreed not to impose a portion of its

                                                                              17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

management fee until October 31, 1996, to the extent necessary so that expenses
of each of the Managed Government Securities Fund, Managed Federal Securities
Fund, and the Managed Cash Fund do not exceed 0.55%, 0.75%, and 0.55%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Further, due to the
limitation of such Agreement, the Adviser's reimbursement payable for the year
ended December 31, 1995 amounted to $3,623 for the Managed Federal Securities
Fund.

        For the year ended December 31, 1995, Scudder did not impose fees
amounting to $211,734, $43,217 and $474,280 on the Managed Government Securities
Fund, the Managed Federal Securities Fund and the Managed Cash Fund,
respectively.

        Under certain state regulations, if the total expenses of any of the
Funds, exclusive of taxes, interest, and extraordinary expenses exceed certain
limitations, the Company's investment adviser is required to reimburse the Fund
for such excess up to the amount of management fees.

        Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of Scudder, is the
Company's shareholder service, transfer and dividend disbursing agent. For the
year ended December 31, 1995, the amount charged to the Company by SSC
aggregated $22,056 for the Managed Government Securities Fund, $7,892 for the
Managed Federal Securities Fund, $97,011 for the Managed Cash Fund, and $28,213
for the Managed Tax-Free Fund, of which $2,037, $2,037, $5,663, and $2,037
respectively, remain unpaid at December 31, 1995.

        Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a subsidiary of Scudder,
is responsible for determining the daily net asset value per share and
maintaining the portfolio and general accounting records for the Funds. For the
year ended December 31, 1995, the amount charged to the Funds by SFAC aggregated
$30,000 for the Managed Government Securities Fund, $2,550 for the Managed
Federal Securities Fund, $49,471 for the Managed Cash Fund, and $36,144 for the
Managed Tax-Free Fund, of which $2,500, $175, $4,027, and $3,164, respectively,
remain unpaid at December 31, 1995.  For the year ended December 31, 1995 for
the Federal Portfolio, SFAC did not impose fees amounting to $27,450.

        The Company has a compensation arrangement under which payment of
directors' fees may be deferred. Interest is accrued (based on the rate of
return earned on the 90 day Treasury Bill as determined at the beginning of each
calendar quarter) on the deferred balances and is included in "Directors' fees
and expenses." The accumulated balance of deferred directors' fees and interest
thereon relating to the Funds constituting the Company aggregated $444,665, an
applicable portion of which is included in accrued expenses of each such Fund.

5.  SHAREHOLDER SERVICES 

        Each of the Funds has special arrangements with certain banks,
institutions and other persons under which they receive compensation from the
Funds and Scudder for performing shareholder servicing functions for their
customers who own shares in the Funds from time to time. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, payments by the Funds pursuant to these arrangements
aggregated $131,765 for the Managed Government Securities Fund, $23,678 for the
Managed Federal Securities Fund, $552,643 for the Managed Cash Fund and $263,795
for the Managed Tax-Free Fund.

6.  SHAREHOLDER SERVICE, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN 

        The Company has a Shareholder Service, Administration and Distribution
Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940
under which participating organizations which enter into agreements with the
Company and Scudder may receive a fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis from
each fund of the Company and Scudder. Such fee is calculated on the average
daily net assets of the Company for which such participating organizations are
responsible. No payments have been made by the Company for shareholder service,
administration and distribution assistance under this plan other than as
indicated in Note 5 above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
SCUDDER FUND, INC.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Managed Government Securities Fund, Managed Federal Securities Fund, Managed
Cash Fund, and Managed Tax-Free Fund (each a separate portfolio of Scudder Fund,
Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 1995, the results of
each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (except for the
Managed Federal Securities Fund which commenced operations on July 17, 1991), in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

Dear Shareholder:

     We are  pleased to provide  you with the  Managed  Intermediate  Government
Fund's  Annual Report which covers the Fund's  performance  and progress for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

     The  investment  objective of the Fund is to provide  investors with a high
level of current  income and to keep the price of its shares  more  stable  than
that of a long-term bond.

     As of December 31, the Fund's  30-day net  annualized  SEC yield was 5.50%.
The Fund's net asset value per share  increased  from $9.18 on December 31, 1994
to $9.52 on December 31, 1995.  Assuming the  reinvestment  of the dividends for
the period totaling  $0.48,  the total return for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995 was 9.08%,  compared to the 15.75% average return for all  Intermediate
U.S.  Government  Funds and 5.63%  average  return of all Short U.S.  Government
Funds for the same twelve-month period according to Lipper Analytical  Services,
Inc., an independent analyst of investment performance. However, it is important
to note that the Fund,  in comparison  with most  Intermediate  U.S.  Government
Funds, places more emphasis on maintaining a relatively stable per share price.

     Audited  financial  statements  for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
and a list of the  Fund's  investments  as of that  date  are set  forth  on the
following pages.

     If you have any questions concerning your Fund, please call toll free (800)
854-8525  from any  continental  state.  We will be glad to hear from you at any
time.


                                                                 /s/David S. Lee
                                                                    David S. Lee

Portfolio Management Discussion

     Managed Intermediate  Government Fund's performance in 1995 reflects a year
in which  interest  rates  declined  across the maturity  spectrum.  As evidence
mounted that inflation was not currently a concern, the trend toward higher bond
prices that began in late 1994 gathered momentum. When interest rates fall, bond
prices  generally  rise,  since existing bonds are deemed more  attractive  than
newly issued, lower-yielding securities.  However, declining interest rates also
tend to result in lower coupons for fixed-income  investments.  The Fund's share
price increased  $0.34,  from $9.18 on December 31, 1994, to $9.52 at the end of
the year.  The Fund  distributed a total of $0.48 per share in income during the
year,  contributing  to a 30-day net  annualized  yield of 5.50% on December 31,
1995, down from 6.03% a year earlier.  Combined, price change plus distributions
provided  a 9.08%  total  return  for the year,  compared  with  10.84%  for the
unmanaged Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government Index.

     The easing of interest  rates by the Federal  Reserve  during 1995,  coming
after a series of rate hikes in 1994, testifies to its confidence in the current
trend of slow economic growth and low inflation. Measures of inflation have been
stable and were  referenced  by the  Federal  Reserve as the  primary  reason it
reduced the federal  funds rate on July 6 and December 19. The U.S.  bond market
has reacted  accordingly  and rallied  strongly into the year end on the back of
rate cuts and anticipation of further Fed easing.  While our fundamental outlook
is for lower rates--and  therefore positive bond market  conditions--we  will be
watching for periods of price corrections, which could result from profit-taking
or technical factors.

     We  continue to utilize  mortgage  backed  securities  to add yield to your
portfolio,  targeting  opportunities  in  older  pools in the  moderate  premium
15-year sector.  These "seasoned" pools offer greater  prepayment  protection as
the  underlying  borrowers  have already  displayed a reluctance or inability to
refinance in a declining rate environment. We have also repositioned our shorter
maturity  Treasury  obligations to take full advantage of the Federal  Reserve's
easing trend, while helping dampen downside volatility. As we enter 1996 we look
forward to buying  opportunities,  especially  in the mortgage  sector where the
yield advantage remains very attractive.

MANAGED INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION

        Managed Intermediate Government Fund (the "Fund") is a portfolio of 
Scudder Fund, Inc. (the "Company") which is an open-end diversified management
investment company.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Significant accounting policies followed by the Fund are:

        (a) Security Valuation--The value of securities is determined as of
the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Securities are 
valued utilizing primarily the latest bid prices or, if bid prices are not 
available, on the basis of valuations based on a matrix system, both as
furnished by a reputable independent pricing service. Debt securities maturing
in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. All other securities and other
assets for which current market quotes are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors and
in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.

        (b) Federal Income Taxes--The Fund's policy is to qualify as a regulated
investment company under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to
distribute all taxable income, including any realized net capital gains, to
shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.  As of
December 31, 1995, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of
approximately $1,644,795, which may be applied against any realized net taxable
capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until December 31,
2002, whichever comes first.

        (c) Allocation of Expenses--Expenses not directly chargeable to the
Fund are allocated primarily on the basis of relative net assets of the Company.

        (d) Dividends--Dividends from net investment income are declared each
business day to shareholders of record on the previous business day for payment 
on the first business day of the following month. During any particular year, 
net realized gains from investment transactions in excess of available capital 
loss carryforwards would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed. Therefore, 
the Fund intends to distribute these amounts to shareholders. An additional 
distribution may be made to the extent necessary to avoid the payment of a four
percent federal excise tax. The Fund uses the specific identification method for
determining realized gains or losses on investments for both financial and
federal income tax reporting purposes.

        (e) Organization Costs--Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with
its organization and initial registration of shares have been deferred and are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period.

        (f) Other--Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis and is adjusted for gains and losses on
paydowns on mortgage-backed securities. Distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

3.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

        It is the Company's policy to obtain possession, through its custodian, 
of the securities underlying each repurchase agreement to which it is a party, 
either through physical delivery or book entry transfer in the Federal Reserve 
System or Participants Trust Company. Payment by the Company in respect of a
repurchase agreement is authorized only when proper delivery of the underlying
securities is made to the Company's custodian. The Company's investment manager 
values such underlying securities each business day using quotations obtained 
from a reputable, independent source. If the Company's investment manager
determines that the value of such underlying securities (including accrued
interest thereon) does not at least equal the value of each repurchase agreement
(including accrued interest thereon) to which such securities are subject, it
will ask for additional securities to be delivered to the Company's custodian.
In connection with each repurchase agreement transaction, if the seller defaults
and the value of the collateral declines or if the seller enters an insolvency
proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or
limited.

5.  MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

        The Company retains Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. ("Scudder") as
investment manager for the Fund, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement
between Scudder and the Company on behalf of the Fund, for a management fee
payable each month, based upon the average daily value of the Fund's net assets,
at an annual rate of 0.65%. Scudder has agreed not to impose all or a portion of
its management fee until October 31, 1996, and during such period to maintain
the annualized expenses of the Fund at not more than 0.80% of average daily net
assets. For the year ended December 31, 1995, Scudder did not impose a portion
of its fee amounting to $65,963, and the portion imposed amounted to $17,459.

        Under certain state regulations, if the total expenses of the Fund, 
exclusive of taxes, interest, and extraordinary expenses exceed certain
limitations, the Company's investment adviser is required to reimburse the Fund
for such excess up to the amount of the management fee. During the year ended
December 31, 1995, no such reimbursement was required.

        Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of Scudder is the 
Company's shareholder service, transfer and dividend disbursing agent. For the
year ended December 31, 1995, Scudder did not impose a portion of its fee
amounting to $2,326 and the portion imposed amounted to $6,111, of which $2,037 
is unpaid.

        Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a subsidiary of Scudder, 
is responsible for determining the daily net asset value per share and
maintaining the portfolio and general accounting records for the Fund. For the
year ended December 31, 1995, the amount charged to the Fund by SFAC aggregated
$5,379, of which $488 is unpaid. For the year ended December 31, 1995, SFAC did
not impose fees amounting to $32,121.

        The Company has a compensation arrangement under which payment of
Directors' fees may be deferred. Interest is accrued (based on the rate of
return earned on the 90 day Treasury Bill as determined at the beginning of each
calendar quarter) on the deferred balances and is included in "Directors' fees
and expenses." The accumulated balance of deferred directors' fees and interest
thereon relating to the Fund aggregated $10,800, which is included in accrued
expenses of the Fund.

6.  SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

        The Fund has special arrangements with certain banks, institutions and
other persons under which they receive compensation from the Fund and Scudder
for performing shareholder servicing functions for their customers who own
shares in the Fund from time to time. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
payments by the Fund pursuant to these arrangements aggregated $804, of which
$118 is unpaid.

7.  SHAREHOLDER SERVICE, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN

        The Company has a Shareholder Service, Administration and Distribution 
Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940
under which participating organizations which enter into agreements with the 
Company and Scudder may receive a fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis from 
each of the Company and Scudder. Such fee is calculated on the average daily net
assets of the Company for which such participating organizations are
responsible. No payments have been made by the Company for shareholder service,
administration and distribution assistance under this plan other than those
indicated in Note 6 above.

8.  CAPITAL STOCK

        At December 31, 1995, one holder of record of the Fund held
approximately 69% of the outstanding shares.


                                                                              11

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
SCUDDER FUND, INC. -- MANAGED INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT FUND

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including 
the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Managed Intermediate Government
Fund (a portfolio of Scudder Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at
December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the 
changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and
the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and
for the period March 1, 1993 (commencement of operations) through December 31,
1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statement based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.
