THE FUNDS AND THEIR OBJECTIVES

(See "Investment objectives and policies" and "Additional information about
policies and investments" in the Funds' Prospectuses)

General Investment Objectives and Policies

Scudder Money Market Series ("Cash Fund"), Scudder Tax Free Money
Market Series ("Tax Free Fund") and Scudder Government Money Market Series
("Government Fund") (collectively, the "Funds") are the three diversified
investment portfolios comprising Scudder Fund, Inc. (the "Corporation"), a
professionally managed open-end, diversified management investment company. Each
Fund seeks to provide investors with as high a level of current income as is
consistent with its investment objectives and policies and with preservation of
capital and liquidity. In addition, the Tax Free Fund also 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 objectives.

Each of the Funds offers classes of shares as follows: Scudder Money
Market Series offers Premium Money Market Shares, Managed Shares and
Institutional Shares; Scudder Tax Free Money Market Series offers Managed Shares
and Institutional Shares; and Scudder Government Money Market Series offers
Managed Shares and Institutional Shares.

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
constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, but there is no assurance that each
will be able to do so.

Except as otherwise indicated, each Fund's investment objectives and
policies are not fundamental and may be changed without a vote of shareholders.

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

Master/feeder structure

The Board of Directors has the discretion to retain the current
distribution arrangement for each Fund while investing in a master fund in a
master/feeder fund structure as described below.

A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder
fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most
or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the
"master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as
the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more
feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the
feeder fund level. Based on the premise that certain of the expenses of
operating an investment portfolio are relatively fixed, a larger investment
portfolio may eventually achieve a lower ratio of operating expenses to average
net assets. An existing investment company is able to convert to a feeder fund
by selling all of its investments, which involves brokerage and other
transaction costs and realization of a taxable gain or loss, or by contributing
its assets to the master fund and avoiding transaction costs and, if proper
procedures are followed, the realization of taxable gain or loss.

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 calendar 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 ("CD's"), 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

<PAGE>

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 obligations
of 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 may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated
obligations of foreign banks subject to the following conditions: foreign banks
(based upon their most recent annual financial statements) at the time of
investment (i) have more than U.S. $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 (iv) are obligations which, 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 is limited by its
nonfundamental policy to the amount of its total assets that may be in
investments that are not illiquid 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.

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).

Generally, 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 Corporation ("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 Corporation's 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 calendar 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.

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.

2
<PAGE>

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" or
"P-2" by Moody's, "A-1" or "A-2" 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 Corporation 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 calendar 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.

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.

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 types of projects; other
municipal obligations have issuers located in the same state.

3
<PAGE>

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.

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.

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. The Fund
intends to take the position that it is the owner of any municipal obligation
acquired with a put feature, and that tax-exempt interest earned with respect to
such municipal obligations will be tax-exempt in its hands. There is no
assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with such position in any
particular case. Additionally, the federal income tax treatment of certain other
aspects of these investments, including the treatment of tender fees and swap
payments, in relation to various regulated investment company tax provisions is
unclear.

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 calendar
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.

Investment Restrictions

Unless specified to the contrary, the following restrictions may not be
changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of the Fund involved which, under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act") and the rules thereunder and as used in this Statement of Additional
Information, means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the voting securities
present at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy, or (2) more
than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

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
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.

Any investment restrictions herein which involve a maximum percentage
of securities or assets shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess
over the percentage occurs immediately after and is caused by an acquisition or
encumbrance of securities or assets of, or borrowings by, a Fund.

4
<PAGE>

Each Fund has elected to be classified as a diversified series of an
open-end investment company.

In addition, as a matter of fundamental policy, each Fund may not:

(1) borrow money, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as
amended, and as interpreted or modified by regulatory
authority having jurisdiction, from time to time;

(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940
Act, as amended, and as interpreted or modified by regulatory
authority having jurisdiction, from time to time;

(3) engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by
others, except to the extent that the Fund may be deemed to be
an underwriter in connection with the disposition of portfolio
securities;

(4) purchase or sell real estate, which term does not include
securities of companies which deal in real estate or mortgages
or investments secured by real estate or interests therein,
except that the Fund reserves freedom of action to hold and to
sell real estate acquired as a result of the Fund's ownership
of securities;

(5) purchase physical commodities or contracts relating to
physical commodities; or

(6) make loans to other persons, except (i) loans of portfolio
securities, and (ii) to the extent that entry into repurchase
agreements and the purchase of debt instruments or interests
in indebtedness in accordance with the Fund's objective and
policies may be deemed to be loans;

(7) concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as that
term is used in the 1940 Act, as amended, and as interpreted
or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from
time to time.

As a matter of nonfundamental policy, each Fund may not:

(1) borrow money in an amount greater than 5% of its total
assets, except for temporary or emergency purposes; and

(2) lend portfolio securities in an amount greater than 5% of its
total assets.

ADDITIONAL PERMITTED INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

(See "Additional information about policies and investments" in the Funds'
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 the issuer's 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 by the issuers 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.

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 5% 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 Corporation or the
Adviser.

Industry Concentration. To the extent the Cash Fund's investments are
concentrated in the banking industry, the Cash Fund will have correspondingly
greater exposure to the risk factors which are characteristic of such
investments. Sustained increases in interest rates can adversely affect the
availability or liquidity and cost of capital funds for a bank's lending
activities, and a deterioration in general economic conditions could increase
the exposure to credit losses. In addition, the value of the investment return
on the Cash Fund's shares could be affected by economic or regulatory
developments in or related to the banking industry, and the effects of
competition within the banking industry as well as with other types of financial
institutions.

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

<PAGE>

PURCHASING SHARES

(See "Transaction information--Purchasing shares" in the Funds' Prospectuses)

Each Fund has specific minimum initial investment requirements for each
class of shares. The Premium Shares require a $25,000 minimum initial investment
and a minimum subsequent investment of $1,000. The Managed Shares require a
$100,000 minimum initial investment and a minimum subsequent investment of
$1,000. The Institutional Shares require a $1,000,000 minimum investment and
have no minimum subsequent investment. 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 Funds 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 Funds. Investment minimums
may also be waived for Directors and officers of the Corporation. The Funds,
Scudder Investor Services, Inc. and Scudder Financial Intermediary Services
Group each reserves the right to reject any purchase order. All funds will be
invested in full and fractional shares.

Wire Transfer of Federal 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 4:00 p.m. for the Cash Fund and the Government Fund (eastern
time) and at 2:00 p.m. for the Tax Free Fund on the same day if a bank wire or
check is converted to federal funds or a federal funds' wire is received by 4:00
p.m. or 2:00 p.m., respectively. In addition, if investors known to the Funds
notify the Funds by 4:00 p.m. for the Cash Fund and the Government Fund and by
2:00 p.m. for the Tax Free Fund 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 4:00 p.m. for the Cash Fund and the Government Fund and at 2:00
p.m. for the Tax Free Fund 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 Funds 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 particular class of a Fund will be executed at the
net asset value per share of such class next determined after an order has
become effective.

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 Funds' Prospectuses.

Additional Information About Making Subsequent Investments by QuickBuy

Shareholders, whose predesignated bank account of record is a member of
the Automated Clearing House Network (ACH) and who have elected to participate
in the QuickBuy program, may purchase shares of the Fund by telephone. Through
this service shareholders may purchase up to $250,000. To purchase shares by
QuickBuy, shareholders should call before the close of regular trading on the
Exchange, normally 4 p.m. eastern time. Proceeds in the amount of your purchase
will be transferred from your bank checking account two or three business days
following your call. For requests received by the close of regular trading on
the Exchange, shares will be purchased at the net asset value per share
calculated at the close of trading on the day of your call. QuickBuy requests
received after the close of regular trading on the Exchange will begin their
processing and be purchased at the net asset value calculated the following
business day. If you purchase shares by QuickBuy and redeem them within seven
days of the purchase, the Fund may hold the redemption proceeds for a period of

7
<PAGE>

up to seven business days. If you purchase shares and there are insufficient
funds in your bank account the purchase will be canceled and you will be subject
to any losses or fees incurred in the transaction. QuickBuy transactions are not
available for most retirement plan accounts. However, QuickBuy transactions are
available for Scudder IRA accounts.

In order to request purchases by QuickBuy, shareholders must have
completed and returned to the Transfer Agent the application, including the
designation of a bank account from which the purchase payment will be debited.
New investors wishing to establish QuickBuy may so indicate on the application.
Existing shareholders who wish to add QuickBuy to their account may do so by
completing a QuickBuy Enrollment Form. After sending in an enrollment form
shareholders should allow for 15 days for this service to be available.

Each Fund employs procedures, including recording telephone calls,
testing a caller's identity, and sending written confirmation of telephone
transactions, designed to give reasonable assurance that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine, and to discourage fraud. To the extent
that each 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.

Share Certificates

Due to the desire of each Fund's management to afford ease of
redemption, certificates will not be issued to indicate ownership in any Fund.
Share certificates now in a shareholder's possession may be sent to the Transfer
Agent for cancellation and credit to such shareholder's account. Shareholders
who prefer may hold the certificates in their possession until they wish to
exchange or redeem such shares.

The Funds have authorized certain members of the NASD other than the
Distributor to accept purchase and redemption orders for the Funds' shares.
Those brokers may also designate other parties to accept purchase and redemption
orders on each Fund's behalf. Orders for purchase or redemption will be deemed
to have been received by a Fund when such brokers or their authorized designees
accept the orders. Subject to the terms of the contract between a Fund and the
broker, ordinarily orders will be priced at that Fund's net asset value next
computed after acceptance by such brokers or their authorized designees.
Further, if purchases or redemptions of a Fund's shares are arranged and
settlement is made at an investor's election through any other authorized NASD
member, that member may, at its discretion, charge a fee for that service. The
Board of Directors and the Distributor, also the Funds' principal underwriter,
each has the right to limit the amount of purchases by, and to refuse to sell
to, any person. The Directors and the Distributor may suspend or terminate the
offering of shares of a Fund at any time for any reason.

EXCHANGES AND REDEMPTIONS

(See "Transaction Information--Exchanges and Redemptions" in the Funds'
Prospectuses)

Payment of redemption proceeds may be made in securities. The
Corporation may suspend the right of redemption with respect to any Fund during
any period when (i) trading on 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.

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

Exchanges

The following information regarding exchanges applies only to Premium
Shares and each Fund's class of Managed Shares. The exchange privileges listed
below do not apply to the Institutional Shares.

Exchanges are comprised of a redemption from one Scudder fund and a
purchase into another Scudder fund. The purchase side of the exchange either may
be an additional investment into an existing account or may involve opening a
new account in the other fund. When an exchange involves a new account, the new
account will be established with the same registration, tax identification

8
<PAGE>

number, address, telephone redemption option, "Scudder Automated Information
Line" (SAIL(TM)) transaction authorization and dividend option as the existing
account. Other features will not carry over automatically to the new account.
Exchanges to a new fund account must be for a minimum of $25,000 for Premium
Shares, and $100,000 for Managed Shares. Exchanges into other Scudder Funds may
have lower minimum exchange requirements. When an exchange represents an
additional investment into an existing account, the account receiving the
exchange proceeds must have identical registration, tax identification number,
address, and account options/features as the account of origin. Exchanges into
an existing account must be for $1,000 or more. If the account receiving the
exchange proceeds is to be different in any respect, the exchange request must
be in writing and must contain an original signature guarantee as described
under "Transaction information--Redeeming shares--Signature guarantees" in the
Funds' prospectuses.

Exchange orders received before the close of regular trading on the
Exchange on any business day ordinarily will be executed at the respective net
asset values determined on that day. Exchange orders received after the close of
regular trading on the Exchange will be executed on the following business day.

Investors may also request, at no extra charge, to have exchanges
automatically executed on a predetermined schedule from one Scudder fund to an
existing account in another Scudder fund, at current net asset value, through
Scudder's Automatic Exchange Program. Exchanges must be for a minimum of $50.
Shareholders may add this free feature over the telephone or in writing.
Automatic Exchanges will continue until the shareholder requests by telephone or
in writing to have the feature removed, or until the originating account is
depleted. The Funds and the Transfer Agent each reserves the right to suspend or
terminate the privilege of the Automatic Exchange Program at any time.

There is no charge to the shareholder for any exchange described above.
An exchange into another Scudder fund is a redemption of shares, and therefore
may result in tax consequences (gain or loss) to the shareholder, and the
proceeds of such an exchange may be subject to backup withholding. (See
"TAXES.")

Investors currently receive the exchange privilege, including exchange
by telephone, automatically without having to elect it. The Funds employ
procedures, including recording telephone calls, testing a caller's identity,
and sending written confirmation of telephone transactions, designed to give
reasonable assurance that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine,
and to discourage fraud. To the extent that the Funds do not follow such
procedures, they may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
telephone instructions. The Funds will not be liable for acting upon
instructions communicated by telephone that they reasonably believe to be
genuine. The Funds and the Transfer Agent each reserve the right to suspend or
terminate the privilege of exchanging by telephone or fax at any time.

The Scudder funds into which investors may make an exchange are listed
under "THE SCUDDER FAMILY OF FUNDS" herein. Before making an exchange,
shareholders should obtain from the Distributor a prospectus of the Scudder fund
into which the exchange is being contemplated. The exchange privilege may not be
available for certain Scudder funds or classes thereof. For more information,
please call 1-800-225-5163.

Scudder retirement plans may have different exchange requirements.
Please refer to appropriate plan literature.

Redemption by Telephone

In order to request redemptions by telephone, shareholders must have
completed and returned to the Transfer Agent the application, including the
designation of a bank account to which the redemption proceeds are to be sent.
Shareholders currently receive the right to redeem up to $100,000 to their
address of record automatically, without having to elect it. Shareholders may
also request to have the proceeds mailed or wired to their pre-designated bank
account.

(a) NEW INVESTORS wishing to establish telephone redemption to a
pre-designated bank account must complete the appropriate section
on the application.

9
<PAGE>

(b) EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS (except those who are Scudder IRA, Scudder
Pension and Profit-Sharing, Scudder 401(k) and Scudder 403(b)
Planholders) who wish to establish telephone redemption to a
pre-designated bank account or who want to change the bank
account previously designated to receive redemption payments
should either return a Telephone Redemption Option Form
(available upon request) or send a letter identifying the account
and specifying the exact information to be changed. The letter
must be signed exactly as the shareholder's name(s) appears on
the account. A signature and a signature guarantee are required
for each person in whose name the account is registered.

Telephone redemption is not available with respect to shares
represented by share certificates or shares held in certain retirement accounts.

If a request for redemption to a shareholder's bank account is made by
telephone or fax, payment will be by Federal Reserve bank wire to the bank
account designated on the application, unless a request is made that the
redemption check be mailed to the designated bank account. The Premium Shares
have a $5 charge for wire redemptions. The Managed Shares have a $5 charge for
wire redemptions unless it is for an amount of $1,000 or greater or it is a
sweep account. The Institutional Shares do not charge a wire fee.

Note: Investors designating a savings bank to receive their telephone
redemption proceeds are advised that if the savings bank is not a participant in
the Federal Reserve System, redemption proceeds must be wired through a
commercial bank which is a correspondent of the savings bank. As this may delay
receipt by the shareholder's account, it is suggested that investors wishing to
use a savings bank discuss wire procedures with their bank and submit any
special wire transfer information with the telephone redemption authorization.
If appropriate wire information is not supplied, redemption proceeds will be
mailed to the designated bank.

The Funds employ procedures, including recording telephone calls,
testing a caller's identity, and sending written confirmation of telephone
transactions, designed to give reasonable assurance that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine, and to discourage fraud. To the extent
that the Funds do not follow such procedures, they may be liable for losses due
to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions. The Funds will not be
liable for acting upon instructions communicated by telephone that they
reasonably believe to be genuine.

Redemption requests by telephone (technically a repurchase by agreement
between the Fund and the shareholder) of shares purchased by check will not be
accepted until the purchase check has cleared which may take up to seven
business days.

Redemption By QuickSell

Shareholders, whose predesignated bank account of record is a member of
the Automated Clearing House Network (ACH) and who have elected to participate
in the QuickSell program may sell shares of the Fund by telephone. To sell
shares by QuickSell, shareholders should call before 4 p.m. eastern time.
Redemptions must be for at least $250. Proceeds in the amount of your redemption
will be transferred to your bank checking account two or three business days
following your call. For requests received by the close of regular trading on
the Exchange, normally 4 p.m. eastern time, shares will be redeemed at the net
asset value per share calculated at the close of trading on the day of your
call. QuickSell requests received after the close of regular trading on the
Exchange will begin their processing and be redeemed at the net asset value
calculated the following business day. QuickSell transactions are not available
for Scudder IRA accounts and most other retirement plan accounts.

In order to request redemptions by QuickSell, shareholders must have
completed and returned to the Transfer Agent the application, including the
designation of a bank account from which the purchase payment will be debited.
New investors wishing to establish QuickSell may so indicate on the application.
Existing shareholders who wish to add QuickSell to their account may do so by
completing an QuickSell Enrollment Form. After sending in an enrollment form,
shareholders should allow for 15 days for this service to be available.

The Fund employs procedures, including recording telephone calls,
testing a caller's identity, and sending written confirmation of telephone
transactions, designed to give reasonable assurance that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine, and to discourage fraud. To the extent
that the Fund does not follow such procedures, it may be liable for losses due

10
<PAGE>

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 Mail or Fax

Any existing share certificates representing shares being redeemed must
accompany a request for redemption and be duly endorsed or accompanied by a
proper stock assignment form with signatures guaranteed as explained in the
Funds' prospectuses.

In order to ensure proper authorization before redeeming shares, the
Transfer Agent may request additional documents such as, but not restricted to,
stock powers, trust instruments, certificates of death, appointments as
executor, certificates of corporate authority and waivers of tax (required in
some states when settling estates).

It is suggested that shareholders holding share certificates or shares
registered in other than individual names contact the Transfer Agent prior to
any redemptions to ensure that all necessary documents accompany the request.
When shares are held in the name of a corporation, trust, fiduciary, agent,
attorney or partnership, the Transfer Agent requires, in addition to the stock
power, certified evidence of authority to sign. These procedures are for the
protection of shareholders and should be followed to ensure prompt payment.
Redemption requests must not be conditional as to date or price of the
redemption. Proceeds of a redemption will be sent within five days after receipt
by the Transfer Agent of a request for redemption that complies with the above
requirements. Delays of more than seven business days of payment for shares
tendered for repurchase or redemption may result, but only until the purchase
check has cleared.

The requirements for IRA redemptions are different from those for
regular accounts. For more information call 1-800-225-5163.

Redemption by Write-a-Check

The following information regarding Redemption by Write-a-Check applies
only to Premium Shares and each Fund's class of Managed Shares. Redemption by
Write-a-Check does not apply to the Institutional Shares.

All new investors and existing shareholders who apply to State Street
Bank and Trust Company for checks may use them to pay any person, provided that
each check is for at least $1,000 and not more than $5 million. By using the
checks, the shareholder will receive daily dividend credit on his or her shares
until the check has cleared the banking system. Investors who purchased shares
by check may write checks against those shares only after they have been on a
Fund's book for seven business days. Shareholders who use this service may also
use other redemption procedures. No shareholder may write checks against
certificated shares. The Funds pay the bank charges for this service. However,
each Fund will review the cost of operation periodically and reserve the right
to determine if direct charges to the persons who avail themselves of this
service would be appropriate. Each Fund, Scudder Service Corporation and State
Street Bank and Trust Company reserve the right at any time to suspend or
terminate the "Write-a-Check" procedure.

FEATURES AND SERVICES OFFERED BY THE FUNDS

(See "Shareholder benefits" in the Funds' prospectuses.)

The Pure No-Load(TM) Concept

Investors are encouraged to be aware of the full ramifications of
mutual fund fee structures, and of how Scudder distinguishes its funds from the
vast majority of mutual funds available today. The primary distinction is
between load and no-load funds.

Load funds generally are defined as mutual funds that charge a fee for
the sale and distribution of fund shares. There are three types of loads:
front-end loads, back-end loads, and asset-based 12b-1 fees. 12b-1 fees are
distribution-related fees charged against fund assets and are distinct from
service fees, which are charged for personal services and/or maintenance of
shareholder accounts. Asset-based sales charges and service fees are typically
paid pursuant to distribution plans adopted under 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

11
<PAGE>

A front-end load is a sales charge, which can be as high as 8.50% of
the amount invested. A back-end load is a contingent deferred sales charge,
which can be as high as 8.50% of either the amount invested or redeemed. The
maximum front-end or back-end load varies, and depends upon whether or not a
fund also charges a 12b-1 fee and/or a service fee or offers investors various
sales-related services such as dividend reinvestment. The maximum charge for a
12b-1 fee is 0.75% of a fund's average annual net assets, and the maximum charge
for a service fee is 0.25% of a fund's average annual net assets.

A no-load fund does not charge a front-end or back-end load, but can
charge a small 12b-1 fee and/or service fee against fund assets. Under the
National Association of Securities Dealers Rules of Fair Practice, a mutual fund
can call itself a "no-load" fund only if the 12b-1 fee and/or service fee does
not exceed 0.25% of a fund's average annual net assets.

Because Scudder funds do not pay any asset-based sales charges or
service fees, Scudder developed and trademarked the phrase pure no-load(TM) to
distinguish Scudder funds from other no-load mutual funds. Scudder pioneered the
no-load concept when it created the nation's first no-load fund in 1928, and
later developed the nation's first family of no-load mutual funds.

The following chart shows the potential long-term advantage of
investing $10,000 in a Scudder pure no-load fund over investing the same amount
in a load fund that collects an 8.50% front-end load, a load fund that collects
only a 0.75% 12b-1 and/or service fee, and a no-load fund charging only a 0.25%
12b-1 and/or service fee. The hypothetical figures in the chart show the value
of an account assuming a constant 10% rate of return over the time periods
indicated and reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

Dividend and Capital Gain Distribution Options

Investors have freedom to choose whether to receive cash or to reinvest
any dividends from net investment income, or distributions from realized capital
gains in additional shares of the same class of the Fund. A change of
instructions for the method of payment must be received by the Fund's transfer
agent at least 5 days prior to a dividend record date. Shareholders may change
their dividend option either by calling 1-800-225-5163 or by sending written
instructions to the Transfer Agent. Please include your account number with your
written request. See "How to contact Scudder" in the prospectus for the address.

Reinvestment is usually made at the closing net asset value determined
on the business day following the record date. Investors may leave standing
instructions with the Transfer Agent designating their option for either
reinvestment or cash distributions of any income dividends or capital gains
distributions. If no election is made, dividends and distributions will be
invested in additional shares of the same class of the relevant Fund.

12
<PAGE>

Investors may also have dividends and distributions automatically
deposited in their predesignated bank account through Scudder's
DistributionsDirect Program. Shareholders who elect to participate in the
DistributionsDirect Program, and whose predesignated checking account of record
is with a member bank of the Automated Clearing House Network (ACH) can have
income and capital gains distributions automatically deposited to their personal
bank account usually within three business days after a Fund pays its
distribution. A DistributionsDirect request form can be obtained by calling
1-800-225-5163.

Scudder Investor Centers

Investors may visit any of the Investor Centers maintained by the
Distributor. The Centers are designed to provide individuals with services
during any business day. Investors may pick up literature or obtain assistance
with opening an account, adding monies or special options to existing accounts,
making exchanges within the Scudder Family of Funds, redeeming shares or opening
retirement plans. Checks should not be mailed to the Centers but should be
mailed to "The Scudder Funds" at the address listed under "How to contact
Scudder" in the Funds' prospectuses.

Reports to Shareholders

All three Funds issue to their respective shareholders annual and
semiannual financial statements (audited annually by independent accountants),
including a list of investments held and statements of assets and liabilities,
operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for that Fund, as the
case may be.

Diversification

A shareholder's investment represents an interest in a large,
diversified portfolio of carefully selected securities. Diversification may
protect investors against the possible risks associated with concentrating in
fewer securities.

Transaction Summaries

Annual summaries of all transactions in each Fund account are available
to shareholders. The summaries may be obtained by calling 1-800-225-5163.

SPECIAL PLAN ACCOUNTS

(See "Scudder tax-advantaged retirement plans," "Purchases--By
Automatic Investment Plan" and "Exchanges and redemptions--By
Automatic Withdrawal Plan" in the Funds' prospectuses.)

The following information regarding Special Plan Accounts applies only
to Premium Shares and each Fund's class of Managed Shares. Special Plan Accounts
do not apply to the Institutional Shares.

Detailed information on any Scudder investment plan, including the
applicable charges, minimum investment requirements and disclosures made
pursuant to Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") requirements, may be obtained
by contacting Scudder Investor Services, Inc., Two International Place, Boston,
Massachusetts 02110-4103 or by calling toll free, 1-800-225-2470. The
discussions of the plans below describe only certain aspects of the federal
income tax treatment of the plans. The state tax treatment may be different and
may vary from state to state. It is advisable for an investor considering the
funding of the investment plans described below to consult with an attorney or
other investment or tax adviser with respect to the suitability requirements and
tax aspects thereof.

Shares of the Funds may also be a permitted investment under profit
sharing and pension plans and IRA's other than those offered by the Fund's
distributor depending on the provisions of the relevant plan or IRA.

None of the plans assures a profit or guarantees protection against
depreciation, especially in declining markets.

Scudder Retirement Plans: Profit-Sharing and Money Purchase
Pension Plans for Corporations and Self-Employed Individuals

Shares of the Funds may be purchased as the investment medium under a
plan in the form of a Scudder Profit-Sharing Plan (including a version of the
Plan which includes a cash-or-deferred feature) or a Scudder Money Purchase
Pension Plan (jointly referred to as the Scudder Retirement Plans) adopted by a
corporation, a self-employed individual or a group of self-employed individuals
(including sole proprietorships and partnerships), or other qualifying
organization. Each of these forms was approved by the IRS as a prototype. The
IRS's approval of an employer's plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code will be greatly facilitated if it is in such approved form. Under
certain circumstances, the IRS will assume that a plan, adopted in this form,
after special notice to any employees, meets the requirements of Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code as to form.

Scudder IRA: Individual Retirement Account

Shares of the Funds may be purchased as the underlying investment for
an Individual Retirement Account which meets the requirements of Section 408(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code.

A single individual who is not an active participant in an
employer-maintained retirement plan, a simplified employee pension plan, or a
tax-deferred annuity program (a "qualified plan"), and a married individual who
is not an active participant in a qualified plan and whose spouse is also not an
active participant in a qualified plan, are eligible to make tax deductible
contributions of up to $2,000 to an IRA prior to the year such individual
attains age 70 1/2. In addition, certain individuals who are active participants
in qualified plans (or who have spouses who are active participants) are also
eligible to make tax-deductible contributions to an IRA; the annual amount, if
any, of the contribution which such an individual will be eligible to deduct
will be determined by the amount of his, her, or their adjusted gross income for
the year. Whenever the adjusted gross income limitation prohibits an individual
from contributing what would otherwise be the maximum tax-deductible
contribution he or she could make, the individual will be eligible to contribute
the difference to an IRA in the form of nondeductible contributions.

An eligible individual may contribute as much as $2,000 of qualified
income (earned income or, under certain circumstances, alimony) to an IRA each
year (up to $2,000 per individual for married couples if only one spouse has
earned income). All income and capital gains derived from IRA investments are
reinvested and compound tax-deferred until distributed. Such tax-deferred
compounding can lead to substantial retirement savings.

Scudder Roth IRA: Individual Retirement Account

Shares of the Funds may be purchased as the underlying investment for a
Roth individual Retirement Account which meets the requirements of Section 408A
of the Internal Revenue Code.

A single individual earning below $95,000 can contribute up to $2,000 per
year to a Roth IRA. The maximum contribution amount diminishes and gradually
falls to zero for single filers with adjusted gross incomes ranging from $95,000
to $110,000. Married couples earning less than $150,000 combined, and filing
jointly, can contribute a full $4,000 per year ($2,000 per IRA). The maximum
contribution amount for married couples filing jointly phases out from $150,000
to $160,000.

An eligible individual can contribute money to a traditional IRA and a
Roth IRA as long as the total contribution to all IRAs does not exceed $2,000.
No tax deduction is allowed under Section 219 of the Internal Revenue Code for
contributions to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA may be made even after
the individual for whom the account is maintained has attained age 70 1/2.

20
<PAGE>

An individual with an income of less than $100,000 (who is not married
filing separately) can roll his or her existing IRA into a Roth IRA. However,
the individual must pay taxes on the taxable amount in his or her traditional
IRA. Individuals who complete the rollover in 1998 will be allowed to spread the
tax payments over a four-year period. After 1998, all taxes on such a rollover
will have to be paid in the tax year in which the rollover is made.

Scudder 403(b) Plan

Shares of the Funds may also be purchased as the underlying investment
for tax sheltered annuity plans under the provisions of Section 403(b)(7) of the
Internal Revenue Code. In general, employees of tax-exempt organizations
described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (such as hospitals,
churches, religious, scientific, or literary organizations and educational
institutions) or a public school system are eligible to participate in a 403(b)
plan.

Automatic Withdrawal Plan

Non-retirement plan shareholders may establish an Automatic Withdrawal
Plan to receive monthly, quarterly or periodic redemptions from his or her
account for any designated amount of $50 or more. Shareholders may designate
which day they want the automatic withdrawal to be processed. The check amounts
may be based on the redemption of a fixed dollar amount, fixed share amount,
percent of account value or declining balance. The Plan provides for income
dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, to be reinvested in
additional shares. Shares are then liquidated as necessary to provide for
withdrawal payments. Since the withdrawals are in amounts selected by the
investor and have no relationship to yield or income, payments received cannot
be considered as yield or income on the investment and the resulting
liquidations may deplete or possibly extinguish the initial investment and any
reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. Requests for increases in
withdrawal amounts or to change the payee must be submitted in writing, signed
exactly as the account is registered, and contain signature guarantee(s) as
described under "Transaction information--Redeeming shares--Signature
guarantees" in the Funds' prospectuses. Any such requests must be received by
the Transfer Agent ten days prior to the date of the first automatic withdrawal.
An Automatic Withdrawal Plan may be terminated at any time by the shareholder,
the Corporation or its agent on written notice, and will be terminated when all
shares of the Funds under the Plan have been liquidated or upon receipt by the
Corporation of notice of death of the shareholder.

An Automatic Withdrawal Plan request form can be obtained by calling
1-800-225-5163.

Group or Salary Deduction Plan

An investor may join a Group or Salary Deduction Plan where
satisfactory arrangements have been made with Scudder Investor Services, Inc.
for forwarding regular investments through a single source. The minimum annual
investment is $240 per investor which may be made in monthly, quarterly,
semiannual or annual payments. The minimum monthly deposit per investor is $20.
Except for trustees or custodian fees for certain retirement plans, at present
there is no separate charge for maintaining group or salary deduction plans;
however, the Corporation and its agents reserve the right to establish a
maintenance charge in the future depending on the services required by the
investor.

The Corporation reserves the right, after notice has been given to the
shareholder, to redeem and close a shareholder's account in the event that the
shareholder ceases participating in the group plan prior to investment of $1,000
per individual or in the event of a redemption which occurs prior to the
accumulation of that amount or which reduces the account value to less than
$1,000 and the account value is not increased to $1,000 within a reasonable time
after notification. An investor in a plan who has not purchased shares for six
months shall be presumed to have stopped making payments under the plan.

Uniform Transfers/Gifts to Minors Act

Grandparents, parents or other donors may set up custodian accounts for
minors. The minimum initial investment is $1,000 unless the donor agrees to
continue to make regular share purchases for the account through Scudder's
Automatic Investment Plan (AIP). In this case, the minimum initial investment is
$500.

21
<PAGE>

The Corporation reserves the right, after notice has been given to the
shareholder and Custodian, to redeem and close a shareholder's account in the
event that regular investments to the account cease before the $1,000 minimum is
reached.

DIVIDENDS

(See "Distribution and performance information--Dividends and capital
gains distributions" in the Funds' Prospectuses)

The Corporation 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. for the Tax Free Fund and 4:00 p.m. for the
Cash Fund and Government Fund on the day of declaration. Realized capital gains
and losses (other than long-term capital gains) 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. for the Tax Free Fund and 4:00 p.m. for the
Cash Fund and Government Fund 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 class 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. 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 Funds' 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. Performance information will be calculated separately for
each class of a Fund's shares. Because each class of shares is subject to
different expenses, the net yield of each class of a particular Fund for the
same period may differ. Performance information enumerated below is based on the
following periods: Institutional Class of Shares from July 7, 1997 through
December 31, 1997, Managed Class of Shares from December 31, 1996 through
December 31, 1997 and Premium Class of Shares from August 4, 1997 through
December 31, 1997. These performance figures may be calculated in the following
manner:

Yield

The Corporation 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, 1997 for the Institutional Shares were
5.66% for the Money Market, 3.74% for the Tax Free Fund and 5.48% for the
Government Fund; for the Managed Shares were 5.45% for the Money Market Fund,
3.65% for the Tax Free Fund and 5.07% for the Government Fund; and 5.50% for the
Premium Money Market Shares. Each Fund's yield may fluctuate daily and does not
provide a basis for determining future yields. The foregoing yields were
computed separately for each class of each Fund 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

22
<PAGE>

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.

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 a 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 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, 1997 for the Institutional Shares were 5.66% for the Money Market,
3.74% for the Tax Free Fund and 5.48% for the Government Fund; for the Managed
Shares were 5.45% for the Money Market Fund, 3.65% for the Tax Free Fund and
5.07% for the Government Fund; and 5.50% for the Premium Money Market Shares.

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
and is calculated separately for each class of each Fund. 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 the same class of 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 separately for
each class of shares of a Fund 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

Total return is the rate of return on an investment for a specified

Tax-Equivalent Yield

For the Scudder Tax Free Money Market Series, Tax-Equivalent Yield is
the net annualized taxable yield needed to produce a specified tax-exempt yield
at a given tax rate based on a specified 30 day (or one month) period assuming
semiannual compounding of income. Tax-equivalent yield is calculated separately
for each class of shares of a Fund by dividing that portion of the Fund's yield
(as computed in the yield description above) which is tax-exempt by one minus a
stated income tax rate and adding the product to that portion, if any, of the
yield of the Fund that is not tax-exempt. Thus, taxpayers with a federal tax
rate of 39.6% would need to earn a taxable yield of 6.08% to receive after-tax
income equal to the 3.67% tax-free yield of Institutional Class of Shares for
Scudder Tax Free Money Market Series for the 7-day period ended December 31,
1997.

Comparison of Fund Performance

A comparison of the quoted non-standard performance offered for various
investments is valid only if performance is calculated in the same manner. Since
there are different methods of calculating performance, investors should
consider the effects of the methods used to calculate performance when comparing
performance of a Fund with performance quoted with respect to other investment
companies or types of investments.

In connection with communicating its performance to current or
prospective shareholders, a Fund also may compare these figures to the
performance of unmanaged indices which may assume reinvestment of dividends or
interest but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and
management costs. Examples include, but are not limited to the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, the Consumer Price Index, Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Stock Price Index (S&P 500), the Nasdaq OTC Composite Index, the Nasdaq
Industrials Index, the Russell 2000 Index, and statistics published by the Small
Business Administration.

From time to time, in advertising and marketing literature, a Fund's
performance may be compared to the performance of broad groups of mutual funds
with similar investment goals, as tracked by independent organizations such as,
Investment Company Data, Inc. ("ICD"), Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
("Lipper"), CDA Investment Technologies, Inc. ("CDA"), Morningstar, Inc., Value
Line Mutual Fund Survey and other independent organizations. When these
organizations' tracking results are used, a Fund will be compared to the
appropriate fund category, that is, by fund objective and portfolio holdings, or
to the appropriate volatility grouping, where volatility is a measure of a
fund's risk. For instance, a Scudder growth fund will be compared to funds in
the growth fund category; a Scudder income fund will be compared to funds in the
income fund category; and so on. Scudder funds (except for money market funds)
may also be compared to funds with similar volatility, as measured statistically
by independent organizations.

From time to time, in marketing and other Fund literature, Directors
and officers of the Corporation, the Funds' portfolio manager, or members of the
portfolio management team may be depicted and quoted to give prospective and
current shareholders a better sense of the outlook and approach of those who
manage the Funds. In addition, the amount of assets that the Adviser has under
management in various geographical areas may be quoted in advertising and
marketing materials.

The Funds may be advertised as an investment choice in Scudder's
college planning program. The description may contain illustrations of projected
future college costs based on assumed rates of inflation and examples of
hypothetical fund performance, calculated as described above.

Statistical and other information, as provided by the Social Security
Administration, may be used in marketing materials pertaining to retirement
planning in order to estimate future payouts of social security benefits.
Estimates may be used on demographic and economic data.

Marketing and other Fund literature may include a description of the
potential risks and rewards associated with an investment in the Funds. The
description may include a "risk/return spectrum" which compares the Funds to
other Scudder funds or broad categories of funds, such as money market, bond or
equity funds, in terms of potential risks and returns. Money market funds are
designed to maintain a constant $1.00 share price and have a fluctuating yield.
Share price, yield and total return of a bond fund will fluctuate. The share
price and return of an equity fund also will fluctuate. The description may also
compare the Funds to bank products, such as certificates of deposit. Unlike

25
<PAGE>

mutual funds, certificates of deposit are insured up to $100,000 by the U.S.
government and offer a fixed rate of return.

Because bank products guarantee the principal value of an investment
and money market funds seek stability of principal, these investments are
considered to be less risky than investments in either bond or equity funds,
which may involve the loss of principal. However, all long-term investments,
including investments in bank products, may be subject to inflation risk, which
is the risk of erosion of the value of an investment as prices increase over a
long time period. The risks/returns associated with an investment in bond or
equity funds depend upon many factors. For bond funds these factors include, but
are not limited to, a fund's overall investment objective, the average portfolio
maturity, credit quality of the securities held, and interest rate movements.
For equity funds, factors include a fund's overall investment objective, the
types of equity securities held and the financial position of the issuers of the
securities. The risks/returns associated with an investment in international
bond or equity funds also will depend upon currency exchange rate fluctuation.

A risk/return spectrum generally will position the various investment
categories in the following order: bank products, money market funds, bond funds
and equity funds. Shorter-term bond funds generally are considered less risky
and offer the potential for less return than longer-term bond funds. The same is
true of domestic bond funds relative to international bond funds, and bond funds
that purchase higher quality securities relative to bond funds that purchase
lower quality securities. Growth and income equity funds are generally
considered to be less risky and offer the potential for less return than growth
funds. In addition, international equity funds usually are considered more risky
than domestic equity funds but generally offer the potential for greater return.

Risk/return spectrums also may depict funds that invest in both
domestic and foreign securities or a combination of bond and equity securities.

information made by independent sources may also be used in advertisements

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 with the exception
of the Institutional Shares which are not exchangeable.

The 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 Funds also anticipate lower expense ratios than those of money
market mutual funds designed for individual investors because the 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 Funds seeks to provide the combination of price stability,
liquidity and current income that treasurers often require for liquid assets
such as operating reserves.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDS

(See "Fund organization" in the Funds' Prospectuses)

The Corporation was formed on June 18, 1982 under the laws of the State
of Maryland. The authorized capital stock of the Corporation consists of
10,000,000,000 shares having a par value of $.001 per share. The Company's
Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to classify or

28
<PAGE>

reclassify any unissued shares of capital stock. Pursuant to that authority, the
Board of Directors has created twenty-eight classes which are not currently
offered but which may be in the future.

Pursuant to authority expressly granted by of the Charter of the
Corporation, the Board of Directors has reclassified six hundred million
(600,000,000) shares of authorized and unissued Capital Stock into Scudder Money
Market Series. Prior to the reclassification, three billion (3,000,000,000)
shares of Capital Stock were classified as shares of Scudder Money Market
Series. After the reclassification, three billion six hundred million
(3,600,000,000) shares of Capital Stock are classified as shares of the Scudder
Money Market Series.

The Board of Directors has subdivided Scudder Money Market Series,
Scudder Tax Free Money Market Series and Scudder Government Money Market Series
(the "Funds") into classes. In addition, with respect to Scudder Tax Free Money
Market Series and Scudder Government Money Market Series, there is one
additional class of Capital Stock, to be referred to for all purposes as
"Institutional Shares," and with respect to Scudder Money Market Series, two
additional classes of Capital Stock, to be referred to for all purposes as
"Institutional Shares" and the "Premium Money Market Shares" or "Premium
Shares."

After giving effect to the above classifications of Capital Stock, with
respect to these three Funds, the Corporation shall have, in addition to the
three billion four hundred million (3,400,000,000) shares of Capital Stock
previously classified as set forth in the Charter, three billion six hundred
million (3,600,000,000) shares of its authorized Capital Stock classified as the
Scudder Money Market Series, which is further classified into eight hundred
million (800,000,000) Managed Shares, eight hundred million (800,000,000)
Institutional Shares, and two billion (2,000,000,000) Premium Money Market
Shares; one billion (1,000,000,000) shares of Capital Stock classified as the
Scudder Tax Free Money Market Series, which is further classified into five
hundred million (500,000,000) Managed Shares and five hundred million
(500,000,000) Institutional Shares; and three billion (3,000,000,000) shares of
Capital Stock classified as and the Scudder Government Money Market Series,
which is further classified into one billion five hundred million
(1,500,000,000) Managed Shares and one billion five hundred million
(1,500,000,000) Institutional Shares.

Each share of each class of a Fund shall be entitled to one vote (or
fraction thereof in respect of a fractional share) on matters that such shares
(or class of shares) shall be entitled to vote. Shareholders of each Fund shall
vote together on any matter, except to the extent otherwise required by the 1940
Act, or when the Board of Directors of the Corporation has determined that the
matter affects only the interest of shareholders of one or more classes of a
Fund, in which case only the shareholders of such class or classes of that Fund
shall be entitled to vote thereon. Any matter shall be deemed to have been
effectively acted upon with respect to a Fund if acted upon as provided in Rule
18f-2 under the 1940 Act, or any successor rule, and in the Corporation's
Articles of Incorporation. 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 Corporation'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 Corporation's outstanding
shares. The term "majority", when referring to the approvals to be obtained from
shareholders in connection with matters affecting a single Fund, class 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 class or 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 Corporation 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
Corporation's Board of Directors. In the event of the liquidation or dissolution
of the Corporation, 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 Corporation.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

(See "Fund organization--Investment adviser" in the Funds' Prospectuses)

Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. (the "Adviser"), an investment counsel
firm, acts as investment adviser to the Fund. This organization, the predecessor
of which is Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc., is one of the most experienced
investment counsel firms in the U. S. It was established as a partnership in
1919 and pioneered the practice of providing investment counsel to individual
clients on a fee basis. In 1928 it introduced the first no-load mutual fund to
the public. In 1953 the Adviser introduced Scudder International Fund, Inc., the
first mutual fund available in the U.S. investing internationally in securities
of issuers in several foreign countries. The predecessor firm reorganized from a
partnership to a corporation on June 28, 1985. On June 26, 1997, Scudder,
Stevens & Clark, Inc. ("Scudder") entered into an agreement with Zurich
Insurance Company ("Zurich") pursuant to which Scudder and Zurich agreed to form
an alliance. On December 31, 1997, Zurich acquired a majority interest in
Scudder, and Zurich Kemper Investments, Inc., a Zurich subsidiary, became part
of Scudder. Scudder's name has been changed to Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc.

Founded in 1872, Zurich is a multinational, public corporation
organized under the laws of Switzerland. Its home office is located at
Mythenquai 2, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland. Historically, Zurich's earnings have
resulted from its operations as an insurer as well as from its ownership of its
subsidiaries and affiliated companies (the "Zurich Insurance Group"). Zurich and
the Zurich Insurance Group provide an extensive range of insurance products and
services and have branch offices and subsidiaries in more than 40 countries
throughout the world. As of December 31, 1997, the Adviser and its affiliates
had in excess of $200 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 Funds 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 Fund. If these clients and such Fund are
simultaneously buying or selling a security with a limited 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 Fund invests. The best interests of any Fund
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 Fund. The Adviser may
consult independent third persons in reaching its decision.

Subject to policy established by the Corporation's Board of Directors,
which has overall responsibility for the business and affairs of each Fund, the
Adviser manages the operations of each Fund. 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 Corporation'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 Corporation who are affiliated with the Adviser or its
affiliates, the terms of the Investment Management Agreements ("Agreements")
state that the Adviser is not obligated to pay the compensation and expenses of
the Corporation's clerical employees other than those providing advisory
services. The Adviser, however, has represented to the Corporation's Board of
Directors that its current intention is to continue to pay such compensation and
expenses.

For the period January 1, 1997 until July 7, 1997, the Adviser received
a management fee from each Fund at an annual rate of 0.40% for the first $1.5
billion of average daily net assets and 0.35% of such assets in excess of $1.5
billion. Until July 7, 1997, the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its
investment management fee for each of the Cash Fund and Government Fund to the
extent necessary so that the total annualized expenses of each Fund do not
exceed 0.55% of average daily net assets. Effective July 7, 1997, the Adviser
receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets

30
<PAGE>

for each Fund. For the period beginning July 7, 1997 and extending to April 30,
1999 there is a management fee waiver for the Cash Fund, Tax Free Fund and
Government Fund of 0.05%, 0.10% and 0.15%, respectively. Management fees are
computed daily and paid monthly.

In addition, from time to time, the Adviser may voluntarily absorb
certain additional expenses of Scudder Money Market Series. The level of this
voluntary absorption shall be in the Adviser's discretion and is in addition to
the Adviser's agreement to waive a portion of its investment management fee.

For the Corporation's fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the Adviser
did not impose fees of $374,936, $69,182, and $129,520 and did impose fees of
$1,301,440, $337,288, and $11,942, of which $123,101, $11,560, and $66,141,
remain unpaid, for the Money Market Series, Tax Free Money Market Series, and
Government Money Market Series, respectively.

For the Corporation's fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, management
fees paid to the Adviser were $1,227,581 for the Cash Fund, $587,278 for the Tax
Free Fund and $131,141 for the Government Fund. Had the Adviser not waived
$274,989 of its management fee for the Cash Fund and $150,102 of its management
fee for the Government Fund, the total fee paid by each Fund in 1996 would have
been $1,502,570 and $281,243, respectively.

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

Each Agreement provides that the relevant Fund pay all of its expenses
that are not specifically assumed by the Adviser. (Expenses attributable to a
specific class of each Fund will be charged against the assets of that class of
the Fund, other expenses of the Corporation 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
Corporation 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.

Each Agreement 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 Corporation's Board of
Directors and (ii) by a majority of the Directors of the Corporation 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.

Pursuant to a contract with the Corporation, Scudder Investor Services,
Inc., a subsidiary of the Adviser, serves as the Corporation's principal

Corporation. The Distributor receives no remuneration for its services as
principal underwriter and is not obligated to sell any specific amount of Fund
shares. As principal underwriter, it accepts purchase orders for shares of each
Fund. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement obligates the Distributor to pay
certain expenses in connection with the offering of the shares of each Fund.

REMUNERATION

Responsibilities of the Board--Board and Committee Meetings

The Board of Directors is responsible for the general oversight of each
Fund's business. A majority of the Board's members are not affiliated with
Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. These "Independent Directors" have primary
responsibility for assuring that each Fund is managed in the best interests of
its shareholders.

The Board of Directors meets at least quarterly to review the
investment performance of each Fund and other operational matters, including
policies and procedures designated to assure compliance with various regulatory
requirements. At least annually, the Independent Directors review the fees paid
to the Adviser and its affiliates for investment advisory services and other
administrative and shareholder services. In this regard, they evaluate, among
other things, each Fund's investment performance, the quality and efficiency of
the various other services provided, costs incurred by the Adviser and its
affiliates, and comparative information regarding fees and expenses of
competitive funds. They are assisted in this process by each Fund's independent
public accountants and by independent legal counsel selected by the Independent
Directors.

All of the Independent Directors serve on the Committee of Independent
Directors, which nominates Independent Directors and considers other related
matters, and the Audit Committee, which selects each Fund's independent public
accountants and reviews accounting policies and controls. In addition,
Independent Directors from time to time have established and served on task
forces and subcommittees focusing on particular matters such as investment,
accounting and shareholder service issues.

Compensation of Officers and Directors

The Independent Directors receive 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. No additional compensation is paid to any
Independent Director for travel time to meetings, attendance at directors'
educational seminars or conferences, service on industry or association
committees, participation as speakers at directors' conferences, service on
special trustee task forces or subcommittees or service as lead or liaison
trustee. Independent Directors do not receive any employee benefits such as
pension, retirement or health insurance.

The Independent Directors also serve in the same capacity for other
funds managed by the Adviser. These funds differ broadly in type an complexity
and in some cases have substantially different Directors fee schedules. The
following table shows the aggregate compensation received by each Independent
Directors during 1997 from the Company and from all of Scudder funds as a group.

TAXES

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

The Prospectuses for each class of shares of the Funds describe
generally the tax treatment of distributions by the Corporation. 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; or other income derived with
respect to its business of investing in stock securities or currencies (b) 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, securities of other regulated investment
companies 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 generally 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.

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
including "exempt-interest 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

36
<PAGE>

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 an individual shareholder who is not a dealer in securities may be eligible
for reduced capital gains rates, depending on the shareholder's holding period
for the shares. 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. Any loss realized on a sale or exchange of shares of a Fund will be
disallowed to the extent shares of such Fund are re-acquired within the 61-day
period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the shares are disposed
of.

Dividends paid out of a Fund's investment company taxable income (which
includes, among other items, dividends, interest and net excess of net long-term
capital losses) will be taxable to a shareholder as ordinary income. Because no
portion of a Fund's income is expected to consist of dividends paid by U. S.
corporations, no portion of the dividends paid by a Fund is expected to be
eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction. Distributions of net
capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term
capital losses), if any, designated as capital gain dividends are taxable to
individuals at a maximum 20% or 28% capital gains rate (depending on the Fund's
holding period for the assets giving rise to the gain), regardless of how long
the shareholder has held the Fund's shares, and are not eligible for the
dividends-received deduction. Shareholders receiving distributions in the form
of additional shares, rather than cash, generally will have a cost basis in each
such share equal to the net asset value of a share of the Fund on the
reinvestment date. Shareholders will be notified annually as to the U.S. federal
tax status of distributions, and shareholders receiving distributions in the
form of additional shares will receive a report as to the net asset value of
those shares.

The Tax Free Fund intends to qualify under the Code to pay
"exempt-interest dividends" to its shareholders. The Fund will be so qualified
if, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value
of its total assets consists of securities on which the interest payments are
exempt from federal income tax. To the extent that dividends distributed by the
Fund to its shareholders are derived from interest income exempt from federal
income tax and are designated as "exempt-interest dividends" by the Fund, they
will be excludable from the gross incomes of the shareholders for federal income
tax purposes. "Exempt-interest dividends," however, must be taken into account
by shareholders in determining whether their total incomes are large enough to
result in taxation of up to 85 percent of their social security benefits and
certain railroad retirement benefits. It should also be noted that tax-exempt
interest on private activity bonds in which the Portfolio may invest generally
is treated as a tax preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax
for corporate and individual shareholders. The Fund will inform shareholders
annually as to the portion of the distributions from the Fund which constituted
"exempt-interest dividends."

Investments by a Fund in zero coupon or other original issue discount
(other than tax-exempt securities) securities will result in income to the Fund
equal to a portion of the excess of the face value of the securities over their
issue price (the "original issue discount") each year that the securities are
held, even though the Fund receives no cash interest payments. This income is
included in determining the amount of income which a Fund must distribute to
maintain its status as a regulated investment company and to avoid the payment
of federal income tax and the 4% excise tax.

Gain derived by a Fund from the disposition of any market discount
bonds (i.e., bonds purchased other than at original issue, where the face value
of the bonds exceeds their purchase price), including tax-exempt market discount
bonds, held by the Fund will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent of the
accrued market discount on the bonds, unless the Fund elects to include the
market discount in income as it accrues.

Under the Code, a shareholder may not deduct that portion of interest
on indebtedness incurred or continue to purchase or carry shares of an
investment company paying exempt interest dividends (such as those of the Tax
Free Fund) which bears the same ratio to the total of such interest as the
exempt-interest dividends bear to the total dividends (excluding net capital
gain dividends) received by the shareholder. In addition, under rules issued by
the Internal Revenue Service for determining when borrowed funds are considered
to be used to purchase or carry particular assets, the purchase of shares may be
considered to have been made with borrowed funds even though the borrowed funds
are not directly traceable to such purchase.

37
<PAGE>

Each Fund may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the
rate of 31% of all taxable distributions (other than redemption proceeds,
provided the Fund maintains a constant net asset value per share) payable to
shareholders who fail to provide the Fund with their correct taxpayer
identification number or to make required certifications, or who have been
notified by the Internal Revenue Service that they are subject to backup
withholding. Corporate shareholders and certain other shareholders specified in
the Code generally are exempt from such backup withholding. Backup withholding
is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against the
shareholder's U.S. federal income tax liability.

The tax consequences to a foreign shareholder of an investment in a
Fund may be different from those described herein. Foreign shareholders are
advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax
consequences to them of an investment in a Fund.

Fund shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on their Fund
distributions, including distributions from the Tax Free Fund. In many states,
Fund distributions which are derived from interest on certain U.S. Government
obligations are exempt from taxation. Shareholders are advised to consult their
own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an
investment in a Fund. Persons who may be "substantial users" (or "related
persons" of substantial users) of facilities financed by industrial development
bonds should consult their tax advisers before purchasing shares of the Tax Free
Fund. The term "substantial user" generally includes any "non-exempt person" who
regularly uses in his or her trade or business a part of a facility financed by
industrial development bonds. Generally, an individual will not be a "related
person" of a substantial user under the Code unless the person or his or her
immediate family owns directly or indirectly in the aggregate more than a 50%
equity interest in the substantial user.

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
Corporation'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

38
<PAGE>

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 class of 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 the Cash Fund
and the Government Fund is determined at 4:00 p.m., and at 2:00 p.m. for the Tax
Free Fund. The net asset value per share of each class is computed by dividing
the value of the total assets attributable to a specific class, less all
liabilities attributable to those shares, by the total number of outstanding
shares of that class. The Exchange is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and on New
Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 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 Corporation intends to
declare dividends with respect to each of its Funds on all other days, including
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 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 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.

Information enumerated below is provided at the Fund level since each
Fund consisted of one class of shares (which class was redesignated as the
Managed Shares Class) on December 31, 1997.

Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), Two International Place,
Boston, Massachusetts 02110-4103, a subsidiary of the Adviser, computes net
asset value for the Funds. Each Fund pays SFAC an annual fee equal to 0.0200% of
the first $150 million of average daily net assets, 0.0060% of such assets in
excess of $150 million and 0.0035% of such assets in excess of $1 billion, plus
holding and transaction charges for this service. For the year ended December
31, 1997, the amount charged to the Funds by SFAC aggregated $109,482 for the
Money Market Series, $56,782 for the Tax Free Money Market Series and $51,695
for the Government Money Market Series, of which $12,144, $5,092 and $2,677,
respectively, remain unpaid at December 31, 1997. For the year ended December
31, 1996, the amount charged to the Funds by SFAC aggregated $30,000 for the
Government Fund, $48,900 for the Cash Fund, and $39,965 for the Tax Free Fund,
of which $2,500, $4,177, and $3,306, respectively.

shares of each Fund of the Corporation. The Service Corporation applies monthly
activity fees for servicing shareholder accounts of $220,000. Effective October
1, 1995 the minimum monthly charge to any Fund shall be the pro rata portion of
the annual fee, determined by dividing such aggregate fee by the number of Funds
of the Corporation and series of Institutional Fund. When a Fund's monthly
activity charges do not equal or exceed the minimum monthly charge, the minimum
will be charged. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the amount charged to the

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".
