Letter from the Series' President
Dear Shareholders,
Scudder Managed Shares is a class of shares in three different money market
mutual fund portfolios: Money Market Series, Tax Free Money Market Series, and
Government Money Market Series. Each of these money market portfolios seeks to
provide a high level of current income while preserving capital and maintaining
liquidity.
All three Portfolios seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00, and have
done so since their inception. (There is no guarantee, of course, that each will
maintain stable net asset values.)
Tables showing dividend payments and other financial information for the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 1998 can be found within this report. In
addition, please see the following pages for financial statements as of December
31, 1998, as well as a list of each Portfolio's investments.
For those of you who are interested in new Scudder products, we recently
introduced the Scudder Tax Managed Growth Fund, investing in medium- to
large-sized U.S. companies, and Scudder Tax Managed Small Company Fund, which
invests in stocks of small U.S. companies. Using a combination of quantitative
and fundamental research, the funds will focus on companies with strong earnings
growth, reasonable valuations, and favorable risk profiles. Both funds strive to
maximize after-tax returns by systematically taking into account the tax
implications of portfolio transactions and seeking to offset capital gains by
realizing losses when appropriate.
If you have any questions concerning any series of Scudder Managed Shares,
please call 1-800-854-8525 from any continental state.
Sincerely,
/s/Daniel Pierce

Notes to Financial Statements
A. Significant Accounting Policies
Scudder Fund, Inc. (the "Company") is an open-end diversified management
investment company comprised of three diversified money market portfolios:
Scudder Money Market Series (formerly known as Managed Cash Fund), Scudder Tax
Free Money Market Series (formerly known as Managed Tax Free Fund), and Scudder
Government Money Market Series (formerly known as Managed Government Securities
Fund) (collectively, the "Funds"). Scudder Tax Free Money Market Series and
Scudder Government Money Market Series each offers two classes of shares,
Institutional Class and Managed Class and Scudder Money Market Series offers
four classes of shares, Institutional Class, Managed Class, Premium Money Market
Class, and Prime Reserve Money Market Class.
Security Valuation. Each of the Funds values its investments using the amortized
cost method, which involves initially valuing an investment at its cost and
thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium or
discount. This method results in a value approximating market.
Federal Income Taxes. The Company's policy is to qualify each Fund as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as
amended, and to distribute all taxable and tax-exempt income, including any
realized net capital gains, to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required.
As of December 31, 1998, the Scudder Tax Free Money Market Series Portfolio had
a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $340,000 which may be
applied against any realized net taxable gains of each succeeding year until
fully utilized or until December 31, 2002 ($26,000), December 31, 2003
($16,000), December 31, 2004 ($282,000) and December 31, 2005 ($16,000), the
respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first. In addition, as of December
31, 1998, the Scudder Government Money Market Series Fund had a net tax basis
capital loss carryforward of approximately $10,000 which may be applied against
any realized net taxable gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or
until December 31, 2004 ($8,700) and December 31, 2005 ($1,300), the respective
expiration dates, whichever occurs first.
Dividends. Dividends from net investment income are declared each business day
to shareholders of record that day for payment on the first business day of the
following month.
Repurchase Agreements. The Company may enter into repurchase agreements with
certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian,
receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time
of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at
such a level that the market value is equal to at least the repurchase price.
Other. Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Interest income,
including the accretion or amortization of discount or premium, is recorded on
the accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on securities purchased are accreted or
amortized, respectively, on a straight line basis over the life of the
respective securities. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend dates.
B. Related Parties
Under the Investment Management Agreements (the "Management Agreement") with
Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. ("Scudder Kemper" or the "Adviser"), the
Adviser directs the investments of each Fund in accordance with its investment
objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Adviser determines the securities,
instruments, and other contracts relating to
27 - Scudder Managed Shares
<PAGE>
investments to be purchased, sold, or entered into by each Fund. The Adviser
receives an investment management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of average
daily net assets for each Fund. Also, the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion
of its investment management fee for each of the series. In the Money Market
Series, this waiver varied so that during the period the investment management
fee ranged from .09% to .20%. In the Tax Free Money Market Series and Government
Money Market Series, the fee was waived to the extent necessary so that the
total annualized investment management fee of the Fund does not exceed .15% and
.10%, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Adviser did not impose fees of
$1,846,622, $246,650, and $157,381 and did impose fees of $2,304,035, $370,362,
and $104,657 for the Money Market Series, the Tax Free Money Market Series and
the Government Money Market Series, respectively.
On September 7, 1998, Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich"), majority owner of the
Adviser, entered into an agreement with B.A.T Industries p.l.c. ("B.A.T")
pursuant to which the financial services businesses of B.A.T were combined with
Zurich's businesses to form a new global insurance and financial services
company known as Zurich Financial Services. Upon consummation of the
transaction, the Funds' Management Agreement with Scudder Kemper was deemed to
have been assigned and, therefore, terminated. In December 1998, the Board of
Directors and the shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment management
agreement with Scudder Kemper, which is substantially identical to the former
Management Agreement, except for the dates of execution and termination.
Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of the Adviser, is the
transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder service agent for the Funds. Each
class of each Fund has entered into a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with
SSC. SSC receives account fees that vary according to the account size and type
of account of the shareholders of the respective classes. For the year ended
December 31, 1998 the following amounts were charged:

</TABLE>
Each of the Funds has special arrangements with certain banks, institutions and
other persons under which they receive compensation from the Funds and the
Adviser for performing shareholder servicing functions for their customers who
own shares in the Funds. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse each Fund for
amounts payable by the Scudder Managed Class, such that the fees in basis points
paid by the class will be no greater than the total transfer agent fee payable
to SSC. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Adviser's reimbursement
payable aggregated $234,051 for the Money Market Series, $186,935 for the Tax
Free Money Market Series, and $21,817 for the Government Money Market Series.
28 - Scudder Managed Shares
<PAGE>
Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a subsidiary of the Adviser, is
responsible for determining the daily net asset value per share and maintaining
the portfolio and general accounting records for the Funds. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, the amount charged to the Funds by SFAC aggregated $189,715
for the Money Market Series, $44,002 for the Tax Free Money Market Series, and
$36,129 for the Government Money Market Series, of which $23,946, $4,358, and
$2,848, respectively, remain unpaid at December 31, 1998.
The Company has a compensation arrangement under which payment of directors'
fees may be deferred. Interest is accrued (based on the rate of return earned on
the 90 day Treasury Bill as determined at the beginning of each calendar
quarter) on the deferred balances and is included in "Directors' fees and
expenses." The accumulated balance of deferred directors' fees and interest
thereon relating to the Funds constituting the Company aggregated $243,692 for
the period ended December 31, 1998, an applicable portion of which is included
in accrued expenses of each such Fund.
Other. Printing and postage expenses related to preparing and distributing
material such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxy materials to
current shareholders are charged to each class based on number of shareholder
accounts. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the following amounts were paid:

C. Lines of Credit
The Company and several other Scudder Funds (the "Participants") share in a $850
million revolving credit facility for temporary or emergency purposes, including
the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely
disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee
which is allocated among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated based
on the market rates at the time of the borrowing. Each Fund may borrow up to a
maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. In addition, each
Fund had available an uncommitted line of credit. During the year ended December
31, 1998, the Tax Free Money Market Series periodically borrowed amounts from a
bank and the weighted average outstanding daily balance of bank loans (based on
the average number of days the loans were outstanding) was approximately $2.1
million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.98%. Interest expense for
the period ended December 31, 1998, was $49,489.

Scudder Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at December 31, 1998,
and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net
assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1998 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.
