AARP Investment Program
from SCUDDER

Mid-Year Overview

     This Mid-Year Report reviews the performance of the AARP Mutual Funds from
October 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997. In keeping with the decision we made
with the Trustees of the AARP Investment Program in December 1995, we continued
our efforts to manage the individual fund portfolios to provide competitive
returns but with less downside share price volatility than comparable mutual
funds. We are pleased with the results, especially in certain funds, and our
efforts are being recognized. As of March 31st, a number of AARP Mutual Funds
were highly rated by Morningstar, which ranks the relative risk versus returns
of comparable mutual funds.

CALLOUT:

A number of AARP Mutual Funds were recently rated quite well by Morningstar.
Read further in the Letter to Shareholders on page 7.

     The performance of the AARP growth funds was enhanced by the overall
strength of the U.S. stock market. The AARP bond funds, while reflecting a
volatile bond market, also provided shareholders with the income they have come
to expect. Detailed reviews of the performance of the Funds begin on page 7.
Before you turn to that section of the Report, however, we encourage you to
continue reading this letter. We will discuss the performance of the stock and
bond markets over the past six months and provide an outlook for the next few
months and beyond. 

THE STOCK MARKET

     The stock market has been on a steady upward trend for more than two years.
Unlike 1995, when the market was driven largely by a drop in long-term interest
rates and growth in corporate profits, 1996 and the first quarter of 1997 were
characterized by market forecasts which seemed to flip-flop with each new
release of corporate earnings or economic data. This is reflected in the chart
on the next page that illustrates the performance of the stock market as
measured by the unmanaged Dow Jones Industrial Average (the Dow). As you can


                                       2

see, the Dow began the period at about 5882 and ended at over 6583. Despite this
12% gain, the swings along the way were often quite significant.

                         3/31/97           6583.48

CAPTION TO PRECEDING CHART:

     The U.S. stock market, as measured by the unmanaged Dow Jones Industrial
Average, gained 9% over the last six months.

A Look at the Dow

     The Dow  crossed the 6500 mark in  November  1996,  moving as high as 6549,
only to close  the  year  down 101  points  amid  jitters  about  inflation  and
corporate  profits.  In 1997,  the Dow  seemed to be headed  infinitely  upward,
hitting  the 7000 mark for the  first  time in early  February.  The Dow hit its
record high of 7085.16 on March 11th,  only to decline  more than 160 points two
days  later  after  reports  of a strong  economy  renewed  fears of  inflation.
Furthermore,  these signs  prompted  the Federal  Reserve (the Fed) to raise the
Federal  Funds  rate by a quarter  of a point to 5.5% on March 25th -- the first
hike in more than two years.  The stock market  reacted  poorly  because  higher
interest  rates  threaten  economic   expansion  and  corporate  profit  growth.
Subsequent  data showed  unemployment  falling and consumer  confidence  rising,
which stimulated worries about additional  interest rate increases.  This caused
further declines in the stock market, with the Dow ending the quarter over 6583.
While any setback is a  disappointment,  it is to be expected  that markets will
correct, especially when significant advances occur in a short period of time.

A REMINDER FOR INVESTORS -- KEEP A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE

While you may be distracted by the day-to-day swings in the financial markets,
history tells us that long-term investors are best served by putting the
inevitable volatility of the markets into proper perspective. If you can accept
that both the bond and stock markets will have volatility, the swings in the
markets should not be cause for alarm. In fact, downturns may often provide
buying opportunities for some investors. You can lessen the effect of downturns
by diversifying your assets in a mix of different investments such as stock,
bond, and money market funds.

You can also take advantage of a highly effective investment approach called
dollar cost averaging. This method involves investing a specific amount of money
on a regular basis -- say monthly -- to reduce the average price you pay over
time for mutual fund shares. You can invest a small amount per month through the
AARP Investment Program's Automatic Investment Plan. Call 1-800-253-2277 for
details.

THE BOND MARKET

     After a strong fourth quarter of 1996, economic trends discussed above and
their potential inflationary pressure caused the bond market to decline in the
first quarter of 1997. Long-term interest rates soared to six-month highs, with
the 30-year Treasury bond surpassing the 7% mark, causing bond prices to
decline. As you can see in the graph above, long-term interest rates rose from
6.92% on September 30, 1996 to 7.09% on March 31, 1997. While point-to-point
this may seem like an insignificant change, interest rates were as low as 6.30%
in November of 1996.

CAPTION TO PRECEDING CHART:

       Long-term interest rates, as measured by the 30-year Treasury Bond,
                   were 6.92% on September 30, 1996 and 7.09%
                           at the end of March 1997.

LOOKING AHEAD

     As we look toward the rest of 1997, it is difficult to predict how the
stock and bond markets will fare. While there are no guarantees when investing,
we continue to believe there is long-term opportunity in both the stock and bond
markets. Many structural factors including fiscal policies, deregulation,
advancements in technology, and globalization are setting the stage for positive
global economic growth, without harmful levels of inflation. We firmly believe
that these are powerful and positive influences, that will benefit long-term
investors.

THE AARP INVESTMENT PROGRAM FROM SCUDDER

     As you know, an excellent way to protect your assets from risk is to
diversify your investments across asset classes and within them. Mutual funds
offer the benefits of diversification and professional investment management of
your assets. To further offer some protection from losses to the value of the
fund's portfolio, each AARP Mutual Fund is managed for less downside risk than
similar mutual funds. At the same time, the Funds provide the opportunity for
competitive returns -- as they have over the period covered by this Report.

NEW LUMP SUM SERVICE

Receiving a significant lump sum distribution from a retirement plan account is
perhaps one of the most defining events for individuals planning for retirement.
We now offer a Lump Sum Service designed to help make the investment
decision-making process easier, and one that you can feel confident is well
considered. Our Mutual Fund Representatives can help you understand your options
and tax implications. Call us at 1-800-253-2277. We are prepared to spend as
much time as you need to help you make informed investment decisions -- whether
or not you are interested in investing in the AARP Mutual Funds.


     It is this commitment to risk-controlled investing that you and your fellow
AARP members have told us you most prefer, especially during periods of volatile
swings in the markets. Of course, while the AARP Mutual Funds are actively
managed to help reduce downside risk, it is important to realize that your
principal is never insured or guaranteed, and that the value of your investment
and its return will still move up and down as market conditions change. AARP
Mutual Funds are distinct from other mutual funds, which may seek higher returns
but do not focus as well on lowering share price risk.

      CALLOUT:

The AARP Global Growth Fund, introduced in February 1996, has been well received
by AARP member investors, having grown to more than 20,000 accounts and over
$107 million in assets as of March 31, 1997.


     We are always working to develop new Program services and features to meet
AARP members' needs in a fast changing world. We are pleased to report the
following new developments since the publication of the Program's Annual Report
for the period ending September 30, 1996.

Introduction of Six New AARP Mutual Funds

     Effective February 1, 1997, we added six new Funds to our family of mutual
funds. They were developed in response to feedback we received from you and
other AARP members who were interested in a greater choice of mutual funds, and
in taking somewhat more risk with a portion of your total investment portfolio.
The new -- somewhat riskier -- funds were therefore developed to provide
investors with the potential of greater returns than several of their existing
"cousins" in the Program. While you showed a high level of interest in funds
that offer the potential of higher returns (and therefore higher risk), you also
told us that you were hopeful that we could manage these funds for the potential
of less downside risk than comparable mutual funds, especially in volatile
environments. That is in turn how we designed the new portfolios, for example,
the new AARP International Stock Fund offers less downside share price risk than
other international funds while seeking to achieve competitive returns.
Competitively priced, with relatively low account minimum requirements, all of
the AARP Mutual Funds are managed with the potential for less downside risk than
comparable mutual funds. Designed to meet the needs of AARP members, we know of
no other family of no-load mutual funds managed like the AARP family of mutual
funds.

A NOTE ABOUT THE EXPENSE OF
PUBLISHING THIS REPORT

Some shareholders have expressed concern about the expense of publishing this
SEC required report. We appreciate the concern and would like to respond.

We are constantly evaluating ways to streamline our communications and manage
expenses. Therefore, in addition to sending only one copy of this Mid-Year
Report to every shareholder, we employ simple design techniques and use less
expensive paper. We have also determined that our consolidated Report, now
featuring fifteen Funds, is a less-expensive means of communicating fund
information to you than sending individual Fund Reports, as do other mutual fund
companies. The cost per Report is virtually unchanged from the 1996 Annual
Report, despite the Report's expansion to include information about the new AARP
Mutual Funds.

If you require additional copies of this Report please call us at
1-800-253-2277.


     The Prospectus that was recently mailed to you offers specific details
about all of the AARP Mutual Funds. You can also read about the new Funds on the
following pages:

SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

     This letter would not be complete without a special acknowledgment of
Cuyler Findlay, the Program's former Chairman, and Cy Brickfield, a former Board
member and Vice Chairman of the Program and Executive Director of AARP. Cuyler,
who retired at the end of 1996, and Cy, who recently passed away, developed and
launched the Program over 12 years ago. They played an invaluable role in
defining its purpose in meeting the needs of AARP members. Cuyler continues to
be involved with the Program as a member of the Board, and with Scudder as an
Advisory Managing Director. Horace Deets, AARP's Executive Director for the past
10 years, remains Vice Chairman of the Program.

     We hope you find the information in this Report helpful. If you have any
questions, please call our knowledgeable AARP Mutual Fund Representatives
between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. eastern time, Monday through
Friday, at 1-800-253-2277. We are here to help.

                                Our best,

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

     The following pages contain a summary of each Fund in the AARP Investment
Program from Scudder. In general, it is the objective of each fund to keep share
price value more stable than comparable mutual funds or securities. At the same
time, we strive for competitive returns. This distinguishes the AARP Mutual
Funds from other families of no-load mutual funds, which may seek higher returns
but do not focus on reducing risk. For each Fund you'll find an Overview, the
Fund's Investment Strategy, the names of the individuals who manage each Fund
and performance information.


CALLOUT:

The AARP Mutual Funds are special in that our portfolio managers have an
explicit mandate to manage the funds for less risk than comparable mutual funds,
while still attempting to deliver competitive returns.


     The summaries of the applicable Funds contain the one-, five-, and ten-year
total return (or, as in the case of the AARP Global Growth Fund, Life of Fund
total return since the Fund is less than 10 years old). Because a one-year total
return could be high or low depending on market conditions over a 12-month
period, it is useful to have the perspective of the five-year and ten-year total
return figures. Within some of the Fund descriptions, a one-year total return is
broken down into two components: distribution of income, which includes
reinvested income dividends; and capital change, defined as the change in the
price per share including any reinvested capital gains distributions.

     You will also note that all of the AARP Funds that are more than a year
old, except for the AARP Money Funds, have been compared to market indices. We
are providing these comparisons in accordance with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's (SEC) disclosure requirements. Under these requirements, all mutual
funds (except money funds) are required to compare their performance over the
past ten years (or Life of Fund) to that of a broad-based securities market
index. It is important to note, however, that the performance of indices may
vary significantly from the performance of actual mutual funds. The reason is
that indices are merely statistical portfolios. They do not include the expenses
for operating a fund, including, for example: advisory fees and portfolio
transactions costs. All mutual funds must bear these costs as part of their
daily activities; therefore, indices do not provide a complete picture. When
comparing an AARP Mutual Fund's performance with that of a major market index,
remember to keep the differences in mind.

  rated for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively. The ratings are
  subject to change each month. Morningstar ratings are calculated from the
  Funds' 3-, 5-, and 10-year average annualized total returns in excess of
  90-day T-Bill returns, with appropriate adjustments and a risk factor that
  reflects fund performance below 90-day T-Bill returns. The Funds' 3-,5-, and
  10-year ratings are 5, 5, and 4 stars, respectively. Those funds receiving 5
  Stars are in the top 10% of their investment category, while the top 22.5% of
  funds that Morningstar evaluates receive 4 Stars. Past performance is not a
  guarantee of future results.

     AARP HIGH QUALITY MONEY FUND
     ----------------------------

FUND OVERVIEW

This Fund is designed to preserve your principal while you earn money market
returns. The AARP High Quality Money Fund has quality standards high enough to
have secured the highest AAAm rating from Standard & Poor's*, a leading national
independent rating firm. The Fund seeks to maintain a $1.00 share price,
although there may be circumstances in which this goal cannot be achieved. It is
important to note that unlike bank savings accounts, the Fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government and the yield of the Fund will fluctuate.

FOR WHOM THE
FUND IS DESIGNED

This Fund may be appropriate for investors who have short-term needs or who do
not want the risks associated with investing in stocks or bonds. These investors
include those seeking money market income to help meet regular day-to-day needs,
those who need immediate access to their assets through free checkwriting, those
who want to diversify their assets with an investment designed to provide a
degree of safety and stability, and those seeking a short-term investment prior
to making longer-term investment choices.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

     As interest rates remained low over most of the past six months, our aim
was to continue to keep a long average maturity in the Fund. In fact, we were
able to provide investors in the Fund with a competitive yield by actually
lengthening its average maturity from 46 days on September 30, 1996 to 50 days
on March 31, 1997.

     However, due to the March 25th increase in short-term interest rates by the
Federal Reserve, and our expectation of another increase in late spring or early
summer, the average maturity of the Fund will gradually shorten. Moving into the
second quarter of 1997, we will try to support the yield of the Fund by
purchasing securities with shorter maturities as our current holdings mature. We
believe this strategy will provide shareholders in the Fund with a competitive
level of income while maintaining stability and liquidity.

     AARP HIGH QUALITY TAX FREE MONEY FUND
     -------------------------------------

FUND OVERVIEW

The AARP High Quality Tax Free Money Fund is designed to offer you stability of
principal, and income free from federal taxes.^1 The quality of the Fund is high
enough to have secured a AAAm rating from Standard & Poor's (S&P).^2 The AARP
High Quality Tax Free Money Fund is designed to maintain a $1.00 share price,
although there may be circumstances under which this goal cannot be achieved. It
is important to note that, unlike bank savings accounts, the Fund is not insured
or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, and yield will fluctuate.

FOR WHOM THE
FUND IS DESIGNED

This Fund may be appropriate for investors seeking tax-free income or who do not
want the risks associated with investing in stocks or bonds. These investors
include those seeking money market income to meet regular day-to-day expenses,
those needing immediate access to their assets through free checkwriting, those
creating a diversified portfolio who want a portion of their assets in a
conservative investment designed to offer stability, and those seeking a
short-term investment prior to making longer-term investment choices. PORTFOLIO

^2 The rating for the Fund is historical and is based on an analysis of the
portfolio's credit quality, market price exposure, and management.


THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

         As interest rates remained low for most of this six-month period, our
aim was to purchase the best valued securities across the one-year maturity
spectrum. As interest rates began to rise in late March, we began to allow the
average maturity of the Fund to shorten by purchasing shorter-term securities.
As of March 31, 1997, the average maturity of the Fund was 42 days, which is
shorter than the 49-day average maturity of the Fund back on September 31, 1996.

         As always, all securities we bought over the past six months are rated
within the two highest quality ratings of at least one of the three leading
national independent rating firms: Fitch Investors Service, Inc., Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., or Standard & Poor's. For those funds rated by S&P,
there are particular guidelines with which any tax-free money fund must comply
in order to maintain its AAAm rating. In addition, within the universe of
securities that fit within the S&P criteria, Scudder credit analysts approve
only a small percentage of that universe. Therefore, the number of securities
that we choose from is smaller and of better quality than other tax-free money
funds.

         We expect short-term interest rates to rise over the next six months.
The short-term municipal market should follow that trend. Consequently, the
yield of AARP High Quality Tax Free Money Fund should rise as well, providing
shareholders with competitive tax-free income and price stability.

FUND OVERVIEW

The AARP GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund seeks to produce a high level of monthly
income from a conservatively managed high-quality fixed-income portfolio.
Although your principal is not guaranteed, the Fund is managed to moderate
downside loss compared to other GNMA funds. While the securities in the Fund are
guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest, the guarantee is
not related to the Fund's yield or share price, both of which will fluctuate
daily.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     As stated in the Mid-Year Overview, the past six months have been a
volatile time for bond investors. After a strong fourth quarter of 1996,
long-term interest rates began to rise in 1997. Shareholders in the AARP GNMA
and U.S. Treasury Fund were shielded from some of this volatility because of the
Fund's strategy to keep a significant portion of its assets in short-term
securities, especially during periods of rising long-term interest rates. It is
this strategy, however, that often causes the Fund's total return to lag behind
other GNMA funds and therefore its comparative index, especially in periods when
interest rates decline.

     The Annual Investment Returns chart below shows that the AARP GNMA and U.S.
Treasury Fund's one-year total return of 4.95% (representing 6.54% in
distribution of income and -1.59% in capital change) underperformed the
unmanaged Lehman Brothers Mortgage GNMA Index total return of 6.00%. Remember
that the index return does not reflect investment in cash or short-term
securities like those held in the GNMA fund; nor does the index reflect the
impact of servicing, investment management, or administrative expenses that a
mutual fund incurs.

     You know that 12-month returns for the Fund will vary. However, by
maintaining a long-term focus and staying invested through periods of rising and
declining interest rates, you have the opportunity to earn high monthly income.

31, 1987 would have grown to by March 31, 1997, assuming all distributions were

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

         The AARP GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund is managed to produce monthly
income from a conservative high-quality portfolio. It is also designed to be
less volatile than other GNMA funds. Over the past six months, we were able to
provide shareholders with the income they have grown to expect (a 30-day SEC
yield of 6.35% as of March 31, 1997). As explained earlier, we used shorter-term
U.S. Treasury securities to dampen the share price movement and reduce the
potential for loss in the value of your investment, while using high-yielding
GNMA securities for income.

      CALLOUT:

This is a unique Fund because it is designed for older Americans who want a
little more income than from similar investments, but from a conservatively
managed portfolio. 20% of the Fund is typically invested in Treasuries at all
times.

         Approximately 68% of the portfolio was invested in GNMA securities as
of March 31, 1997. Within the GNMA universe, we favored GNMA securities with
coupons of 7.5% or lower because the prepayment risk associated with such
securities is low. Moreover, the income from these mortgages is still above the
income from many high-quality fixed-income investments such as U.S. Treasuries.
We also continued to maintain our position in older, higher-coupon mortgages.
Most of these mortgages are more than five years old and, therefore, have had
plenty of time to be refinanced, but have not been. We feel that these
securities offer high current income to shareholders, while exposing the
portfolio to little risk of prepayment.

          The remainder of the portfolio (32% as of March 31, 1997) was invested
in short-term U.S. Treasury obligations and cash equivalents with maturities of
two years or less. We employ this strategy especially during periods of rising
interest rates to help protect the value of the Fund's portfolio from loss.

         We believe that the current blend of GNMA securities has the potential
to provide a competitive stream of income, while the short-term Treasury
securities and cash equivalents will protect the portfolio from significant
decline in value as compared to other GNMA funds.

FOR WHOM THE
FUND IS DESIGNED

The Fund is designed for conservative investors who want relatively high current
income and some protection from bond market risk. As an investor you should be
investing for the longer term (three years or more) and be comfortable with
fluctuation in the value of your principal and yield.

     AARP HIGH QUALITY BOND FUND
     ---------------------------

FUND OVERVIEW

To help achieve a higher level of overall return, the AARP High Quality Bond
Fund now invests in a greater range of investment-grade bonds. The Fund
maintains quality standards that are among the highest of any general bond fund
currently available, with at least 65% of the Fund's assets invested in
securities rated in the two highest rating categories by Moody's and Standard &
Poor's. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in bonds rated BAA by
Moody's or rated BBB by S&P.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     As stated previously, the past six months were a volatile period for bond
investors. After a strong fourth quarter of 1996, long-term interest rates began
to rise in 1997, causing bond prices to decline. This trend had a negative
impact on the AARP High Quality Bond Fund. However, the Fund did not experience
declines as severe as some other bond funds due to the Fund's strategy to reduce
the share price volatility.

     It is this strategy, however, that often causes the Fund's return to lag
behind other bond funds, and therefore its comparative index, particularly
during periods of declining interest rates. The chart below shows that the AARP
High Quality Bond Fund's one-year total return of 4.17% (representing 5.8% in
distribution of income and -1.63% in capital change) underperformed the
unmanaged Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index return of 4.91%. Remember that
the index return does not reflect investment in cash or other strategies the
Fund uses to reduce risk, nor does the index reflect the impact of servicing,
investment management, or administrative expenses that a mutual fund incurs.

     You know that 12-month returns for the Fund will vary from year to year.
However, by maintaining a long-term focus and staying invested through periods
of rising or declining interest rates you increase the chances of achieving your
long-term objective. The graph to the above right shows what $10,000 invested in
the Fund on March 31, 1987 would have grown to as of March 31, 1997, assuming
all distributions were reinvested.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

         Over the past six months we increased our investment in corporate
bonds, which included issues from some of the country's consumer goods,
manufacturing, financial, and transportation companies. We also continued to add
income to the portfolio from attractively priced mortgage-backed securities. We
maintained a large portion of the Fund's assets in mortgage-backed securities
(approximately 19% as of March 31, 1997) because of their high quality, and
their income potential. This strategy produced an attractive 30-day SEC yield of
5.90% as of March 31, 1997.

      CALLOUT:

The Fund attempts to reduce share price fluctuation by investing in a variety of
different sectors.

         We also maintained a "barbell" maturity strategy in anticipation of
short-term yields rising faster than long-term yields. As of March 31, 1997,
22.5% of the portfolio was invested in securities that mature in under one year
and 25.9% of the portfolio was invested in securities maturing in more than 10
years. As of March 31, 1997, 76% of the portfolio was invested in government,
AAA-rated or AA-rated securities (including cash equivalents); 18% of the Fund
was invested in A-rated bonds; 6% was invested in BBB.

         We believe that the AARP High Quality Bond Fund's current portfolio is
well positioned and major changes are not expected. Our emphasis remains on
delivering competitive returns while maintaining high credit quality and
diversification across various types of issues.

     AARP INSURED TAX FREE GENERAL BOND FUND
     ---------------------------------------

FUND OVERVIEW

The AARP Insured Tax Free General Bond Fund seeks to pay high monthly income
that is free from federal taxes.* The Fund invests in a portfolio consisting
primarily of high-grade municipal securities that are insured against default.
This insurance does not apply to the value of your shares or the yield of the
Fund, both of which will fluctuate daily. The Fund also aims to keep the value
of its shares more stable than that of other long-term municipal bond.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     The past six months was a volatile period for municipal bond investors.
Long-term interest rates rose and as a result, the value of the securities held
by the Fund decreased. When we look at the annual total returns, as illustrated
in the chart below, the AARP Insured Tax Free General Bond Fund's one-year total
return of 4.77% (representing 5.5% in distribution of income and -0.73%, in
capital change) underperformed the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index's return of 5.45%. It is important to note that due to the Fund's
investment strategy to moderate downside risk, the Fund will often lag behind
the performance of similar funds, and the index. In addition, the index return
does not reflect investments in cash or the types of securities the Fund uses to
reduce loss of principal value; nor does the index reflect the impact of any
servicing, investment management, or administrative expenses that a mutual fund
incurs. The Fund offered shareholders a 4.60% 30-day SEC yield as of March 31,
1997. This is a taxable equivalent yield of 7.62% for shareholders in the 39.6%
tax bracket.

     By maintaining a long-term focus and staying invested through periods of
rising interest rates or declining interest rates, you increase your chances of
achieving your long-term objective. The graph to the right shows what the value
of $10,000 invested in the Fund on March 31, 1987, would have grown to by March
31, 1997, assuming all distributions were reinvested.

^+ The unmanaged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is a market value-weighted
   measure of municipal bonds with a maturity of at least two years. Index
   returns are calculated monthly and assume reinvestment of dividends. Unlike
   Fund returns, Index returns do not reflect any fees or expenses.

   All performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and
   capital gains and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and
   principal value will fluctuate so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
   worth more or less than when purchased.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

     In keeping with the Fund's objective to reduce frequency and amount by
which the share price declines, purchasing bonds with "call protection" remained
a fundamental part of the Fund's investment strategy over the past six months.
Generally, a bond is "called in" by its issuer so that it can be refinanced at a
lower interest rate. Our call-protection strategy provided a more reliable
income stream than would have existed if the Fund held a significant amount of
bonds that had no "call protection" -- or bonds that could be "called in" before
their stated maturity. As of March 31, 1997, 85% of the portfolio was invested
in "non-callable" bonds.

      CALLOUT:

Investing in securities of varying maturities helps dampen the price volatility
of this Fund.

     The portfolio management team also favored intermediate bonds over the past
six months because intermediate bonds usually fluctuated less than long-term
bond prices. As of March 31, 1997, 66% of the portfolio was invested in
intermediate bonds maturing in 5 to 15 years. The remaining 34% of the portfolio
was divided almost equally between short-term securities and bonds maturing in
more than 15 years.

     In addition, as of March 31, 1997, 95% of the portfolio was invested in
insured securities escrowed in U.S. Treasuries, which have the backing of the
U.S. Government. Remember that this insurance protects the bond from default but
does not apply to the value of your shares or to the yield of the Fund, both of
which will fluctuate daily.

     We believe that the Fund's strategy of maintaining a somewhat shorter
duration (presently 7.24 years vs. 7.59 years for the Index) will continue to
serve our shareholders well. We seek to provide our Fund investors with high
income free from federal taxes and to keep our share price more stable than that
of a long-term municipal bond fund.

is free from federal income taxes. Investors should be seeking to invest for the
longer term (at least three years or more) and be comfortable with fluctuation
in the value of their principal and yield.

     AARP BOND FUND FOR INCOME
     -------------------------

FUND OVERVIEW

The AARP Bond Fund for Income is designed to provide the highest level of
monthly income of any AARP Fund by investing primarily in investment-grade
bonds. The Fund may invest up to 35% in below investment grade bonds (25% of
which may be BB or BA and 10% of which may be B). The AARP Bond Fund for Income
is also managed to experience less downside risk than other investment grade
bond funds as measured by the frequency of and amount by which the share price
of the Fund declines compared to funds like it.


HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     Because the AARP Bond Fund for Income is so new, a review of performance is
not included in this Report. However, you can call us at 1-800-253-2277 for
current performance.

     CALLOUT:

The Fund has the flexibility to invest in various sectors of the bond market
with regard to maturity and quality in pursuit of the highest level of monthly
income of any AARP bond fund.


THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

     Since the Fund's inception on February 1, 1997, we have focused on
portfolio diversification with emphasis on a range of qualities and types of
bonds. Although the major portion of the portfolio was invested in
investment-grade securities, a significant portion of the portfolio was invested
in attractively priced, high yield bonds. We believe that these lower-grade
securities should offer shareholders in this Fund a higher yield and more share
price appreciation than the other Income Funds offered by the Program. As of
March 31, 1997, 83% of the portfolio was invested in investment-grade securities
rated BBB or higher (including cash equivalents), 10% of the portfolio was
invested in BB-rated bonds, and 7% in B-rated bonds. Below investment-grade
securities generally involve a greater risk of default and, at times, can have
more price volatility than higher rated securities.

     In addition to investing the new assets in an array of credit qualities, we
are keeping the Fund well diversified with different types of bonds and varying
maturities. As of March 31, 1997, 35% of the portfolio was invested in corporate
bonds, 11% in mortgage-backed securities, 20% in asset-backed securities, and
32% in income producing cash equivalents. Due to faster rising short-term
interest rates versus long-term rates, we are maintaining a "barbell" strategy
with about 40% of the portfolio invested in bonds maturing in ten years or more
and 35% invested in bonds maturing in under one year.


                                       16
<PAGE>



     We will continue to manage the AARP Bond Fund for Income for higher yields
than the other AARP bond funds, and with less potential for loss in the value of
the portfolio than comparable investment grade bond funds. It is important to
note, however, that this Fund will likely experience more volatility than the
AARP GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund, or the AARP High Quality Bond Fund. Investors
in this Fund must therefore be in a position to tolerate greater short-term risk
to the value of their investment for the potential of greater returns over the
long term.

FOR WHOM THE
FUND IS DESIGNED

The Fund is designed for investors who seek high monthly income from a
diversified portfolio of largely investment-grade bonds. Investors should be
seeking to invest for the longer term (at least three years or more) and be
comfortable with fluctuation in the value of their principal. We believe that
the AARP Bond Fund for Income could serve as a core bond investment in most
investors' portfolios because it offers the potential for high yields, price
appreciation and less share price fluctuation than other long-term bond funds.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     The AARP Balanced Stock and Bond Fund performed well over the past six
months. The Fund's one-year total return of 12.48% outperformed the balanced
index's return of 12.35%. (The balanced index is comprised of 50% of the
unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Price Index, 40% of the unmanaged Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and 10% of the three-month Treasury Bill Index.)
This Fund was introduced on February 1, 1994. Therefore, five-year and ten-year
data are not available.

     The graph below shows what the value of $10,000 invested in the Fund when
it was introduced in February of 1994 would have grown to by March of this year,
assuming all distributions were reinvested.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

         In general, the stock portion of the Fund (representing 55% of the
portfolio as of March 31, 1997) uses an approach similar to the AARP Growth and
Income Fund. The Fund will usually invest in stocks that are believed to have
favorable long-term capital appreciation outlooks and have above-average
dividend yields. Refer to the AARP Growth and Income Fund Report on page 20 for
details on specific stock selection. (The Fund may invest up to 70% of its
assets in stocks.)

     The portion of the Fund invested in bonds (38% of the portfolio as of March
31, 1997) may include corporate issues, U.S. Government securities,
mortgage-backed obligations, and other fixed-income securities. At least 75%


- ----------
^+ The performance of the blended benchmark is a weighting comprised of 50%
   Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Price Index (S&P), 40% Lehman Brothers
   Aggregate Bond Index (LBAB), and the 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (10%). The
   50/40/10 measure is meant to reflect the anticipated long range asset mix
   of the Fund, which may change over time. The unmanaged Standard & Poor's
   500 Stock Price Index is a market value-weighted measure of 500 widely held
   common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock
   Exchange, and Over-the-Counter market. The unmanaged Lehman Brothers
   Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted measure of Treasury issues,
   agency issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities. Index returns
   are calculated monthly and assume reinvestment of dividends. Unlike Fund
   returns, Index returns do not reflect any fees or expenses.

   All performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and
   capital gains and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and
   principal value will fluctuate so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
   worth more or less than when purchased.

of these securities will be securities rated within the three highest
quality ratings (AAA, AA, and A) by Moody's or S&P, independent rating
organizations. At all times, at least 30% of the Fund's assets will be invested
in a combination of bonds and cash equivalents. The Fund moved from intermediate
bonds over the past six months to a "barbell strategy" by increasing the amount
invested in short-term and long-term bonds in anticipation of short-term
interest rates rising faster than long-term rates. The remaining 7% of the
Fund's assets were invested in cash equivalents.


     CALLOUT:

The Fund attempts to reduce share price fluctuation by following the strict
yield discipline of the AARP Growth and Income Fund in the stock portion of the
portfolio, by investing in securities with varying maturities on the bond side,
and by maintaining a solid cash position.

     We continue to believe that stocks will outperform bonds and cash over the
longer term and, therefore, a majority of the portfolio will continue to be
invested in stocks.

FOR WHOM THE
FUND IS DESIGNED

This Fund is designed for investors who are seeking long-term growth of their
assets, but who seek less risk than an investment solely in stocks. Investors
should be able to invest for the longer term (at least three to five years or
more) and be comfortable with the value of their principal fluctuating up and
down.

     AARP GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
     ---------------------------

FUND OVERVIEW

The AARP Growth and Income Fund is a conservatively managed equity fund that
provides the potential for long-term growth and quarterly income, while seeking
to keep the value of its shares more stable than other growth and income funds.
It invests in above-average dividend-yielding stocks that may offer the
opportunity for long-term growth of capital.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     The AARP Growth and Income Fund performed as expected over the past six
months. Its one-year total return of 17.82% (representing 3.07% in distributions
of income and 14.75% in capital change) underperformed the unmanaged Standard &
Poor's 500 Stock Price Index of 19.83%.

     This is an excellent example of the total return tradeoff shareholders may
experience where we are actively working to reduce the potential of loss in
value compared to other growth and income funds. The Fund may lag the
performance of other growth and income funds and therefore the index during
certain bull market periods. It will typically outperform in certain bear
markets, as it did, for example, during the period from May 1990 to October 1990
when the Fund declined 7.0% versus a 14.4% decline for comparable growth and
income funds.*

     12-month returns for the Fund will vary from year to year. However, by
maintaining a long-term focus and avoiding overreaction to short-term market
volatility, your investment has the opportunity to grow significantly over time.
The graph to the right shows what the value of $10,000 invested in the Fund on
March 31, 1987, would have grown to by March of this year, assuming all
distributions were reinvested.


THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

     We continued to focus on investing in undervalued securities with
above-average relative dividend yields. Although they remain sizable positions
in the portfolio, we scaled back our health care and consumer goods stocks
during the fourth quarter of 1996 and increased our position in
telecommunications and domestic electric utilities. The Fund's health care
weighting, concentrated in pharmaceuticals, contributed significantly to the
Fund's favorable performance in 1996 and into 1997. Holdings such as Warner
Lambert and Bristol Myers performed extremely well.

     At the same time, we increased our exposure to the telecommunications
sector by purchasing a number of Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs).
Given our belief that much of the competitive risk in the market was already
reflected in stock prices, we initiated a position in BellSouth and increased
our weighting in Bell Atlantic and NYNEX.

     CALLOUT:

The Fund focuses on stocks with above-average dividends and sound
fundamentals to help reduce share price volatility.

     We also increased our holdings in electric utilities and forest products by
purchasing Duke Power and Boston Edison, and by adding to holdings in
Weyerhauser. These are highly attractive holdings as both groups have reached
historical highs on a relative dividend yield basis.

     The weakest performing sectors over the past six months have been the
financial and manufacturing sectors. The underperformance of the financial
stocks is due in large part to interest rate and inflation fears that culminated
in the Fed's rise in interest rates on March 25th this year. While such action
caused increased volatility in financial stocks, we believe that the fundamental
long-term outlook for this sector remains favorable. We may take advantage of
further weakness -- and therefore buying opportunities -- and increase our
holdings.

     The underperformance of the manufacturing sector is largely due to our
position in chemicals which, although very attractive on a relative yield basis,
continued to lag behind the market due to pricing fears and concerns of
overcapacity.

     Xerox, our largest holding, also suffered a temporary setback in the fourth
quarter of 1996 due to an earnings disappointment. We would point out, however,
that despite this setback, Xerox was still one of the best performers in the
portfolio over the period covered by this Report. (Please note that portfolio
changes should not be considered recommendations for action by individual
investors.)

     In general, our focus on high dividend-paying stocks has and should
continue to benefit the Fund over time as the market recognizes the intrinsic
worth of individual stocks.

     AARP U.S. STOCK INDEX FUND
     --------------------------

FUND OVERVIEW

The AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund takes an indexing approach using the S&P 500
Index as a benchmark. The Standard and Poors 500 Index is an unmanaged broad
market index of 500 large "blue chip" companies. The Fund also seeks to keep the
value of its shares more stable than other S&P 500 Index funds.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     Because the AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund is so new, a review of performance
is not included in this Report. However, you can call us at 1-800-253-2277 for
current performance information.

     CALLOUT:

The AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund strives to moderate share price fluctuation by
favoring income-paying S&P 500 stocks which historically have been more stable,
especially in periods of decline.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

     The Fund's investment strategy is to invest in a broadly diversified
portfolio consisting of more than 400 Standard & Poors' 500 Index companies.
Using a technique referred to as "sampling", the portfolio places more weight on
common stocks of S&P 500 companies that are expected to pay higher dividends
than S&P 500 companies in total. Instead of an emphasis on holding higher
yielding stocks, we attempt to keep the character of our portfolio consistent
with that of the S&P 500 index. By managing the Fund in this way, we expect
performance to be less volatile than the S&P 500 over time. We also seek to
offer shareholders a competitive return with a higher dividend yield than
comparable index funds.

     We believe that the AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund offers shareholders a
low-cost way of investing in a diversified stock portfolio which offers some
degree of performance similarity relative to the S&P 500 Index.

     AARP CAPITAL GROWTH FUND

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     The AARP Capital Growth Fund performed as expected in the most recent
period. It provided a one-year total return of 16.14% (representing 1.01% in
distributions of income and 15.13% in capital change), although it
underperformed the 19.83% return of the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Stock
Price Index. The Fund's focus on reducing the risk of loss through broad
diversification of holdings caused it to underperform the index during this
period when most of the index's gain was attributable to a small number of very
large companies, including tobacco companies, in which none of the AARP Mutual
Funds invest.

     It is important to note that 12-month returns for the Fund will vary from
year to year. However, by maintaining a long-term focus and staying invested
through good and bad times, your investment has the opportunity to grow
significantly over time. The graph to the right shows what $10,000 invested in
the Fund on March 31, 1987, would have grown to by March 31st of this year, if
you reinvested all distributions.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

     Over the past six months, we continued to maintain a high quality portfolio
diversified across many industries. The Fund is most heavily invested in the
technology, finance, and health care sectors. Technology was the best performing
sector of the market over this period and we believe it will continue to be a
fruitful sector for above-average growth opportunities. Since some technology
stocks, particularly start-up companies, are characterized by a high degree of
share price volatility, we will continue to look for investment opportunities in
large, more mature companies such as Intel Corp., Compaq Computer, and Applied
Materials, a semi- conductor company which significantly outperformed over this
period because of the strength of that industry as a whole.

- ----------
^+ The unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Price Index is a market
   value-weighted measure of 500 widely held common stocks listed on the New
   York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, and Over-the-Counter market.
   Index returns are calculated monthly and assume reinvestment of dividends.
   Unlike Fund returns, Index returns do not reflect any fees or expenses.

   All performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and
   capital gains and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and
   principal value will fluctuate so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
   worth more or less than when purchased.


                                       24

     Within the financial sector, our best performing stock was American
Express, the Fund's largest holding, which gained more than 30% over the period.
Other strong performers were Citicorp, American International Group, and
Franklin Resources. We believe that despite some recent volatility due to rising
interest rates, many financial stocks are attractively priced versus their
expected growth rates.

     CALLOUT:

Through a broadly diversified portfolio consisting primarily of high quality, 
medium- to large-sized companies with strong competitive positions in their 
industries, the Fund seeks to offer less share price volatility than many
growth funds.

     The Fund's pharmaceutical weighting also contributed strongly to the Fund's
performance in 1996 and into 1997 in large part due to the sector's dependable
earnings growth and strong new product lines. Warner Lambert, for example,
gained 32% due to strong earnings momentum and significant new sources of
revenue from two new drugs developed to treat diabetes and high cholesterol.
(Please note that portfolio changes should not be considered recommendations for
action by individual investors.)

     AARP SMALL COMPANY STOCK FUND
     -----------------------------

FUND OVERVIEW

From investment primarily in the stocks of small U.S. companies, the Fund seeks
to provide long-term capital growth, and to keep the value of its shares more
stable than other small company stock funds.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     Because the AARP Small Company Stock Fund is so new, a review of
performance is not included in this Report. However, you can call us at
1-800-253-2277 for current performance information.

     CALLOUT:

By targeting a large number of undervalued small stocks, which as a group pay
above average dividends, the Fund seeks to reduce the potential for loss versus
comparable small company funds.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

     The portfolio management team's disciplined approach is to use a two-step
process. First, we evaluate approximately 2000 U.S. stocks and identify those
companies which have above-average return potential. Then we build a diversified
portfolio by assessing the risk/return tradeoff of various combinations of
attractively rated companies. The Fund is well diversified with more than 100
stocks selected from the Russell 2000 Index of small companies.

     We focus on small U.S. companies that have strong or improving sales and
earnings growth and are selling at prices not reflecting their underlying value.
The emphasis on valuation is reflected in the resulting portfolio which has an
average price-to-earnings ratio of about one-half of the Russell 2000 Index of
small companies. In terms of size, a typical company held in the portfolio has a
market capitalization (price times shares) of $374 million. By contrast the
typical S&P 500 company has a market capitalization of $5 billion.

     With the Fund's emphasis on valuation and yield, we have lower weightings
in the health care and technology sectors because many of these companies do not
pay dividends, and also greater weightings in the financial and manufacturing
sectors.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     The AARP Global Growth Fund performed well, with a one-year total return of
9.44%. The Fund outperformed the MSCI World Index total return of 9.36%. Since
the Fund was introduced in February of 1996, five- and ten-year performance data
are not available.

     CALLOUT:

The Fund seeks to offer competitive long-term returns with less risk than other
global growth funds through broad country and security diversification, and by
following long-term positive economic themes.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY

     Our approach to investing in the global equity markets is focused on
identifying long-term growth of the world economy and capital markets and then
identifying the companies with appropriate stock values that are best positioned
to take advantage of the opportunity. This strategy results in a well
diversified portfolio of approximately 120 issues across many countries. We do
not make investment decisions that try to pick the best country or best
currency, instead we focus on individual companies. We believe this reduces the
risk of loss because we focus on broad trends, not short-term market timing.

     In this vein, we have continued to expand the portfolio's holdings of
companies that share two characteristics we believe will provide an increasingly
important advantage in the new global environment: dominant worldwide market
share and declining production costs. Recent purchases along these lines
included automobile tire manufacturers Michelin and Goodyear, both of which have
been able to extend their competitive advantage because of economies of scale,
continued capital investment, and advances in technology. We began purchasing

several industrial gas companies in the U.K. and United States based on our
assessment of the sector's stable prices, growth potential, and valuation.

     Another area of emphasis is companies with new technologies and large
market shares. These businesses should be able to set long-term standards in
their respective industries and therefore maintain pricing power. The newest
names added under this category were Sabre, a U.S.-based world leader in
travel-related services, and Electronic Data Systems, a U.S.-based systems
designer for large-scale data management projects.

     Pharmaceutical companies in general have performed well recently, and we
continue to believe that well-managed companies servicing the health needs of an
aging world population will continue to thrive. We also sought to capitalize on
the world's changing demographics by maintaining holdings in companies
positioned to help individuals provide for retirement, including a number of
major life insurers such as ING and AEGON (the Netherlands) and Zurich Insurance
(Switzerland). (Please note that portfolio changes should not be considered
recommendations for action by individual investors.)

     Our long-term outlook is for global economic expansion without significant
inflation -- an extremely positive scenario for investors. Moving forward, we
will continue to seek to identify opportunities for long-term capital
appreciation presented by the economic changes around the world.

principal fluctuating up and down. Because the Fund invests globally, it will be
affected by fluctuations in U.S. and international stocks markets. The Fund will
also be subject to international investment risks such as currency exchange
risk.

The AARP International Stock Fund seeks to offer long-term capital growth and
income from a diversified portfolio of foreign securities, and to keep the value
of its shares more stable than other international equity funds. Because the
Fund invests internationally, it will be affected by up and down movements in
international stock markets.


HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

     Because the AARP International Stock Fund is so new, you will not find
performance information in this Report. However, you can call us at
1-800-253-2277 for current performance information.

     CALLOUT:                                 
                                                         
By primarily targeting well-managed, dividend-paying companies in established 
markets other than the United States, the Fund seeks long-term growth with less
downside risk than other international stock funds.      
                                               

     Since the Fund was introduced in February of 1997, the portfolio management
team's strategy has been to build a well-diversified portfolio by concentrating
on individual stocks in many different sectors and countries. The portfolio is
presently diversified among 16 countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom,
France, and Japan. We have concentrated on stocks of established dividend-paying
companies listed on foreign exchanges within developed foreign markets. Some of
the major investments we have made include Railtrak (a UK-based rail
transportation company), Sommer Allibert (a French auto components company), BHF
Bank (a German bank), and Shiseido (a Japanese cosmetics company).

     We believe that the AARP International Stock Fund offers shareholders
long-term growth opportunities in developed foreign markets while carefully
managing downside risk. We also believe that the Fund offers the opportunity for
investors to further diversify their investment portfolio, which could help to
lower overall risk.

FOR WHOM THE                                       
FUND IS DESIGNED

The AARP International Stock Fund is suitable for investors seeking long-term
growth of their principal and who want to add international stock market
opportunities to their portfolio. Investors in this Fund should have an
investment time horizon of at least five years or more, and be comfortable with
the value of their principal fluctuating up and down. The Fund will also be
subject to international investment risks such as currency exchange risk.

     AARP MANAGED INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS:
     -----------------------------------

          AARP DIVERSIFIED INCOME PORTFOLIO
          AARP DIVERSIFIED GROWTH PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO OVERVIEWS

The AARP Managed Investment Portfolios are conservatively managed "funds of
funds" -- portfolios that invest exclusively in other AARP Mutual Funds. Two
portfolios are offered.

o The AARP Diversified Income Portfolio seeks current income with modest
long-term appreciation by investing 60% to 80% of the assets in the AARP bond
mutual funds.

o The AARP Diversified Growth Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital by
investing 60% to 80% of the assets in the AARP stock mutual funds.

The investment mix in both portfolios may change when assets appreciate
significantly as economic conditions change.


HOW THE PORTFOLIOS HAVE PERFORMED

     Because the AARP Managed Investment Portfolios are so new, a review of
performance is not included in this Report. However, you can call us at
1-800-253-2277 for current performance information.

THE PORTFOLIOS' INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

     Since the portfolios were introduced in early February, we have been
implementing an investment process that applies our global perspective and
judgment of capital markets, combined with sophisticated quantitative risk
management techniques, to investing in a mix of AARP Mutual Funds -- each of
which is also managed to reduce the risk of loss to the portfolio.

     We began by deciding which asset classes we expected to outperform and
compared that to historical trends. We then used this data to allocate the
portfolios as follows:

     The AARP Diversified Income Portfolio allocation as of March 31, 1997:

              AARP High Quality Money Fund                      15%

              AARP Bond Fund for Income                         30%

              AARP GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund                  30%

              AARP Growth and Income Fund                       11%

              AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund                         5%

              AARP Global Growth Fund                            9%

     The AARP Diversified Growth Portfolio allocation as of March 31, 1997:

              AARP High Quality Money Fund                       1%

              AARP GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund                  19%

              AARP Bond Fund for Income                         20%

              AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund                        10%

              AARP Growth and Income Fund                       20%

              AARP Small Company Stock Fund                     10%

              AARP Global Growth Fund                           10%

              AARP International Stock Fund                     10%


                                       32

     As you can see by these breakdowns, both portfolios are well diversified
among the AARP Mutual Funds. We believe the current mix of investments in the
Diversified Income Portfolio will provide shareholders with a competitive yield
from its bond fund investments and growth potential through its stock fund
exposure. For the Diversified Growth Portfolio, we believe that the 20%
investment in fixed-income securities will help stabilize the Portfolio. We also
have included in both portfolios some international exposure to provide the
potential for greater growth.

FOR WHOM THE
PORTFOLIOS ARE DESIGNED

The AARP Managed Investment Portfolios are for individuals comfortable with bond
and stock investing who don't have time or are less confident in making the
all-important asset allocation decisions. They in turn prefer to entrust the
management of their "portfolio" of mutual funds to professional money managers.
These portfolios offer a simple, inexpensive (among the lowest management fees
for this type of fund), one step approach to investing all or a portion of an
individual's investable assets.

The AARP Managed Investment Portfolios are appropriate for investors seeking to
create an investment plan during pre- and post-retirement. The AARP Diversified
Income Portfolio is designed for those already in retirement and for those with
an investment time horizon of at least three to five years. The AARP Diversified
Growth Portfolio is designed for investors in their pre-retirement years and for
those with an investment time horizon of more than five years.

    * Floating rate demand notes are securities whose interest rates vary with a
      designated market index or market rate, such as the coupon-equivalent of
      the U.S. Treasury bill rate. Variable rate demand notes are securities
      whose interest rates are reset periodically at levels that are generally
      comparable to tax-exempt commercial paper. These securities are payable on
      demand within seven calendar days and normally incorporate an irrevocable
      letter of credit or line of credit from a major bank. These notes are
      carried, for purposes of calculating average weighted maturity, at the
      longer of the period remaining until the next rate change or to the extent
      of the demand period.

  (a) At March 31, 1997, the cost for federal income tax purposes of
      $104,586,930.
  
  (b) All of the securities held have been determined to be of appropriate
      credit quality as required by the Fund's investment objectives. Credit
      ratings shown are either Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, Moody's
      Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Investors Service, Inc. Unrated
      securities (NR) and securities rated by Scudder (SS&C) have been
      determined to be of comparable quality to rated eligible securities.

  (c) Bond is insured by one of these companies: AMBAC, FGIC, FSA, BIG, or MBIA.

      Fund. The total net assets of the Fund are comprised of the Fund's
      investment portfolio, other assets and liabilities. The percentage of the
      investment portfolio may be greater or less than 100% due to the inclusion
      of the Fund's assets and liabilities in the calculation. The Fund's other
      assets and liabilities are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and

      * Floating rate demand notes are securities whose interest rates vary with
        a designated market index or market rate, such as the coupon-equivalent
        of the U.S. Treasury bill rate. Variable rate demand notes are
        securities whose interest rates are reset periodically at levels that
        are generally comparable to tax-exempt commercial paper. These
        securities are payable on demand within seven calendar days and normally
        incorporate an irrevocable letter of credit or line of credit from a
        major bank. These notes are carried, for purposes of calculating average
        weighted maturity, at the longer of the period remaining until the next
        rate change or to the extent of the demand period.

    **  ETM: Bonds bearing the description ETM (escrowed to maturity) are
        collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities which are held in escrow by a
        trustee and used to pay principal and interest on bonds so designated.

    *** Prerefunded: Bonds which are prerefunded are collateralized by U.S.
        Treasury securities which are held in escrow and are used to pay
        principal and interest on tax-exempt issues and to retire the bonds in
        full at the earliest refunding date.

    (a) At March 31, 1997, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based
        on cost for federal income tax purposes of $1,599,972,875 is as follows:

        Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments 
         in which there is an excess of value over tax cost ....    $75,262,020
        Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments
         in which there is an excess of tax cost over value ....     (5,577,680)
                                                                    ------------

    (b) All of the securities held have been determined to be of appropriate
        credit quality as required by the Fund's investment objectives. Credit
        ratings shown are either Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or Moody's
        Investors Service, Inc. Unrated securities (NR) and securities rated by
        Scudder (SS&C) have been determined to be of comparable quality to rated
        eligible securities.

    (c) Bond is insured by one of these companies: AMBAC, BIG, MBIA, FGIC, FSA
        or Capital Guaranty

    (d) At March 31, 1997, this security, in whole or in part, has been pledged
        to cover initial margin requirements for open futures contracts. At
        March 31, 1997, open futures contracts sold short were as follows:

        The aggregate face value of futures contracts opened and closed during
        the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $237,808,988 and $254,028,425,
        respectively.

        Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term
        investments), for the six months ended March 31, 1997, aggregated
        $63,988,674 and $76,014,622, respectively.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Percentage breakdown of investments is based on total net assets of the
        Fund. The total net assets of the Fund are comprised of the Fund's
        investment portfolio, other assets and liabilities. The percentage of
        the investment portfolio may be greater or less than 100% due to the
        inclusion of the Fund's assets and liabilities in the calculation. The
        Fund's other assets and liabilities are disclosed in the Statement of
        Assets and Liabilities.

         the Fund. The total net assets of the Fund are comprised of the Fund's
         investment portfolio, other assets and liabilities. The percentage of
         the investment portfolio may be greater or less than 100% due to the
         inclusion of the Fund's assets and liabilities in the calculation.
         The Fund's other assets and liabilities are disclosed in the Statement
         of Assets and Liabilities.

         investment portfolio, other assets and liabilities. The percentage of
         the investment portfolio may be greater or less than 100% due to the
         inclusion of the Fund's assets and liabilities in the calculation.
         The Fund's other assets and liabilities are disclosed in the Statement
         of Assets and Liabilities.

       *  Non income producing security.
     (a)  At March 31, 1997, the net unrealized appreciation on investments
          based on cost for federal income tax purposes of $100,109,977 was as
          follows:

          Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation
          for all investments in which there is an 
          excess of value over tax cost .......................... $ 10,854,440

          Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation 
          for all investments in which there is an 
          excess of tax cost over value ..........................   (3,454,776)
                                                                    ----------- 
          Net unrealized appreciation ............................  $ 7,399,664
                                                                    ===========
     (b)  Securities valued in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the
          Board of Trustees amounted to $319,705 (.30% of net assets). The cost
          of this security, at March 31, 1997 was $294,732.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term
          investments) for the six months ended March 31, 1997 aggregated
          $29,886,443 and $10,474,756, respectively.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          From February 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996, the Fund incurred
          approximately $33,467 of net realized capital losses which the Fund
          intends to elect to defer and treat as arising in the fiscal year
          ended September 30, 1997.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Percentage breakdown of investments is based on total net assets of
          the Fund. The total net assets of the Fund are comprised of the Fund's
          investment portfolio, other assets and liabilities. The percentage of
          the investment portfolio may be greater or less than 100% due to the
          inclusion of the Fund's assets and liabilities in the calculation. The
          Fund's other assets and liabilities are disclosed in the Statement of
          Assets and Liabilities.

                                         AARP Diversified Growth Portfolio

   All Funds are diversified. The Declaration of Trust of each Trust permits its
Trustees to create an unlimited number of series and to issue an unlimited
number of full and fractional shares of each separate series. The Portfolios
within the AARP Managed Investment Portfolio Trust invest primarily in existing
AARP Mutual Funds from Scudder (the "Underlying AARP Funds").

   The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which require the use of management estimates.
The policies described below are followed consistently by the Funds in
preparation of their financial statements.

   A. Security Valuation. The AARP High Quality Money Fund uses the penny
rounding method of security valuation as permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940
Act. Under this method, securities for which market quotations are readily
available and which have remaining maturities of sixty-one days or more from the
date of valuation are valued at the mean between the over-the-counter bid and
asked prices by an independent registered broker/dealer. On the sixtieth day
prior to maturity and thereafter until maturity, securities originally purchased
with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued at amortized cost
calculated daily, based upon the market valuation of the securities on the
sixty-first day prior to maturity. The AARP High Quality Tax Free Money Fund
uses the amortized cost method of security valuation as permitted under Rule
2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Under this method, the value of a security is determined
by adjusting its original cost to face value through the amortization of any
acquisition discount or premium at a constant rate until maturity, which
approximates market. Security valuation with respect to each of the remaining
Funds is performed in the following manner:

   Common and preferred stocks traded on U.S. or foreign securities exchanges
are valued at the most recent sale price on such exchange where the security is
principally traded. If no sale occurred, the security is valued at the mean
between the most recent bid and asked quotations on such exchanges. If there is
no such bid and asked quotations the most recent bid quotation is used. Unlisted
securities quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers


                                      132
<PAGE>

Automatic Quotation ("NASDAQ") System, for which there have been sales, are
valued at the most recent sale price reported on such system. If there are no
such sales, the value is the high or "inside" bid quotation. Unlisted securities
which are not quoted on the NASDAQ System but are traded in another
over-the-counter market are valued at the most recent sale price on such market.
If no sale occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the most recent
bid and asked quotations. If there are no such bid and asked quotations the most
recent bid quotation is used.

   Portfolio debt securities with remaining maturities greater than sixty days
are valued by pricing agents approved by the Trustees, which prices reflect
broker/dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If
the pricing agents are unable to provide such quotations, the most recent bid
quotation supplied by a bona fide market maker shall be used.

   Short-term investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost. Variable rate demand notes are carried at cost which
together with accrued interest approximates market.

   Investments of the AARP Diversified Income Portfolio and AARP Diversified
Growth Portfolio are valued at the net asset value per share of each Underlying
AARP Fund as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

   The value of all other securities is determined in good faith under the
direction of the Trustees.

   B. Repurchase Agreements. Each of the AARP Funds may enter into repurchase
agreements with selected banks and broker/dealers whereby each Fund, through its
custodian, receives delivery of the securities collateralizing repurchase
agreements, 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,
depending on the maturity of the underlying collateral, is at least equal to the
repurchase price.

   C. Futures Contracts. The Funds in the AARP Income Trust, the AARP Insured
Tax Free General Bond Fund, the AARP Balanced Stock and Bond Fund, the AARP
Global Growth Fund, the AARP International Stock Fund, the AARP U.S. Stock Index
Fund, and the AARP Small Company Stock Fund may enter into futures contracts. A
futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an established
futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller agrees to
take or make a delivery of a specific amount of an item at a specified price on
a specific date (settlement date). During the period, the AARP High Quality Bond
Fund and the AARP Insured Tax Free General Bond Fund purchased and sold interest
rate futures to hedge against declines in the value of portfolio securities.

   Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a
financial intermediary an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain
percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent
payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Fund each day,
dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and
are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by
the Fund. When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain
or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract to
sell and the futures contract to buy. Futures contracts are valued at the most
recent settlement price.

   Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts including the
risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Fund's ability to close
out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the
value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with changes in the value
of the securities or currencies hedged. When utilizing futures contracts to
hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price
movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract.

   D. Options. In an option contract, the writer of the option grants the buyer
of the option the right to purchase from (call option), or sell to (put option),
the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within a specified
period of time. Certain options, including options on indices, will require cash
settlement by the Fund if the option is exercised.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The Funds in the AARP Income Trust, the AARP Insured Tax Free General Bond
Fund, the AARP Balanced Stock and Bond Fund, the AARP Global Growth Fund, the
AARP International Stock Fund, and the AARP Small Company Stock Fund may enter
into options on futures contracts. The Funds in the AARP Growth Trust and the
AARP Income Trust may write covered call options. The Funds in the AARP Growth
Trust may purchase put and call options on stock indices.

   During the period the AARP International Stock Fund purchased put options on
currencies as a hedge against potential adverse price movements in the value of
portfolio assets. Also, during the period, the AARP High Quality Bond Fund
purchased call options on futures as a temporary substitute for purchasing
selected investments.

   If the Fund writes an option and the option expires unexercised, the Fund
will realize income, in the form of a capital gain, to the extent of the amount
received for the option (the "premium"). If the Fund elects to close out the
option it would recognize a gain or loss based on the difference between the
cost of closing the option and the initial premium received. If the Fund
purchased an option and allows the option to expire it would realize a loss to
the extent of the premium paid. If the Fund elects to close out the option it
would recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the cost of
acquiring the option and the amount realized upon the sale of the option.

   The gain or loss recognized by the Fund upon the exercise of a written call
or purchased put option is adjusted for the amount of option premium. If a
written put or purchased call option is exercised the Fund's cost basis of the
acquired security or currency would be the exercise price adjusted for the
amount of the option premium.

   The liability representing the Fund's obligation under an exchange traded
written option or investment in a purchased option is valued at the last sale
price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean between the closing bid and asked
price or at the most recent asked price (bid for purchased options) if no bid
and asked price are available. Over-the-counter written or purchased options are
valued using dealer supplied quotations.

   When the Fund writes a covered call option, the Fund foregoes, in exchange
for the premium, the opportunity to profit during the option period from an
increase in the market value of the underlying security or currency above the
exercise price. When the Fund writes a put option it accepts the risk of a
decline in the market value of the underlying security or currency below the
exercise price. Over-the-counter options have the risk of the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund's
maximum exposure to purchased options is limited to the premium initially paid.
In addition, certain risks may arise upon entering into option contracts
including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Fund's
ability to close out an option contract prior to the expiration date and, that a
change in the value of the option contract may not correlate exactly with
changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged.

   E. Securities Purchased on a Forward Delivery or When-Issued Basis. The AARP
High Quality Money Fund, the Funds in the AARP Income Trust and in the AARP Tax
Free Income Trust, and the AARP Balanced Stock and Bond Fund may purchase
securities on a forward delivery or when-issued basis. Municipal, corporate and
government securities are frequently offered on a forward delivery or
when-issued basis. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a
security on a forward delivery or when-issued basis, the price of the underlying
security is fixed. The Fund will record the transaction at the time of the
commitment and reflect the value of the security in determining its net asset
value. The settlement date of the transaction can occur within one month or more
after the date the commitment was made. During the period between purchase and
settlement date, no payment is made on behalf of the Fund and no interest
accrues to the Fund.

   F. Forward Currency Exchange Contracts. The Funds in the AARP Growth Trust,
the AARP High Quality Bond Fund and the AARP Bond Fund for Income may, in
connection with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated in a
foreign currency, enter into forward currency exchange contracts ("forward
contracts"). Additionally, from time to time, each Fund may enter into contracts
to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets. A forward contract is a
commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a
negotiated rate. During the period, the AARP Balanced Stock and Bond Fund, the
AARP Growth and Income Fund, and the 


                                      134
<PAGE>

AARP Global Growth Fund utilized forward contracts as a hedge against changes in
exchange rates relating to foreign currency denominated assets, and as a hedge
in connection with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated in
foreign currencies. Also, during the period, the AARP International Stock Fund
utilized forward contracts as a hedge in connection with portfolio purchases and
sales of securities denominated in foreign currencies.

   Forward contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the
underlying currencies and unrealized gain/loss is recorded daily. Forward
contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain
(loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on
settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the
difference between the value of the forward contract to buy and the forward
contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from
foreign currency related transactions.

   Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the
potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Additionally, when utilizing forward contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the
opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of
the contract.

   G. Foreign Currency Translations. Foreign currency transactions from foreign
investment activity are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

   (i)  market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at
        the daily rates of exchange, and

   (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest
        income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the
        respective dates of such transactions.

   The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments
which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to
changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with
the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.

   Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related
transactions includes gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the sales of foreign
currency, and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends,
interest, and foreign withholding taxes.

   H. Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income. Securities
transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis and dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. Original issue discount on securities purchased is accreted on an
effective yield basis over the life of the security. Acquisition discount is
accreted on taxable securities purchased with original maturity dates of one
year or less. Premium on securities purchased by the AARP Tax Free Income Trust
is amortized on an effective yield basis over the life of the security.
Distributions of income and capital gains earned by the Diversified Growth and
Diversified Income Portfolios from the Underlying AARP Funds are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

   Each Fund uses the specific identification method for determining the
realized gain or loss on investments sold for both financial and federal income
tax reporting purposes.

   I. Federal Income Taxes. Each of the Funds is treated as a single entity for
federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which are
applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its
taxable and tax exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds paid
no U.S. federal income taxes, and no provisions for federal income taxes were
required.

   J. Distribution of Income and Gains. Each AARP Fund intends to follow the
practice of distributing all of its net investment income to shareholders.
Dividends from the AARP High Quality Money Fund and the Funds in the AARP Income
Trust and the AARP Tax Free Income Trust are declared daily and distributed
monthly. Dividends from the AARP Diversified Income Portfolio are declared and
paid monthly. Dividends from the AARP Balanced Stock and Bond Fund, the AARP
U.S. Stock Index Fund, and the AARP Growth and Income Fund are declared and paid


                                      135
<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

quarterly. Dividends from the AARP Global Growth Fund, the AARP Small Company
Stock Fund, the AARP International Stock Fund, the AARP Diversified Growth
Portfolio, and the AARP Capital Growth Fund are declared and paid annually.
During any particular year, net realized gains for each Fund which are in excess
of any available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not
distributed and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders in the following
fiscal year. The AARP High Quality Money Fund may take into account realized
gains and losses on the sales of securities in its daily distributions. An
additional distribution may be made by each Fund to the extent necessary to
avoid the payment of a four percent federal excise tax.

   The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains
distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal income tax
rules and regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences relate primarily to investments in options,
futures, forward contracts, foreign denominated investments, mortgage backed
securities, REIT and certain securities sold at a loss. As a result, net
investment income and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a
reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.
Accordingly, the Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of
its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.

   K. Expenses. Each Fund (except for the AARP Diversified Income and
Diversified Growth Portfolios) is charged for those expenses that are directly
attributable to it, such as management, custodian, audit, and certain
shareholder service fees. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund,
such as reports to shareholders, portions of Trustees' and legal fees, are
allocated among all the Funds.

   The AARP Diversified Income and Diversified Growth Portfolios ("the
Portfolios") have entered into a Special Servicing Agreement with Scudder,
Stevens & Clark, Inc. (the "Fund Manager"), the Underlying Scudder Funds,
Scudder Service Corporation, Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation and Scudder
Investor Services, whereby the Fund Manager arranges for all services pertaining
to the operations of the Portfolios. If the aggregate expenses of the Portfolios
are less than the estimated savings to the Underlying AARP Funds from the
operation of each Portfolio, each of the Underlying AARP Funds will bear those
expenses in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the
respective Portfolio. Consequently, no Underlying AARP Fund will be expected to
carry expenses that are in excess of the estimate of savings to the respective
Underlying AARP Fund. These estimated savings result from the elimination of
separate shareholder accounts which either currently are or have potential to be
invested in the Underlying AARP Funds. In the event that the financial benefits
to the Underlying AARP Funds do not exceed aggregate expenses of any Portfolio,
the Fund Manager will pay certain costs on behalf of the respective Portfolio.
In accordance with the Special Servicing Agreement, as discussed above, no
expenses were charged to the AARP Diversified Income and Diversified Growth
Portfolios during the period.

   L. Organization Cost. Costs incurred by the AARP Balanced Stock and Bond
Fund, the AARP Global Growth Fund, the AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund, the AARP Bond
Fund for Income, the AARP International Stock Fund, and the AARP Small Company
Stock Fund in connection with their organization have been deferred and are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period. The Fund
Manager has assumed the organization costs of the AARP Diversified Growth and
AARP Diversified Income Portfolios.

   M. Portfolio Insurance. The cost of premiums paid by the AARP Insured Tax
Free General Bond Fund for insurance on individual securities is
non-cancellable, runs the life of such securities, and is added to the cost
basis of such securities. This insurance provides for the timely payment of
principal and interest on these securities when due and protects the Fund
against loss from default by the Municipal issuer. It does not protect the
investor from losses due to changes in market values.


                                      136

Note 2. Management Fee and other Related Transactions.

   Under the investment management and advisory agreement (the "Management
Agreement") between each Trust (excluding the AARP Managed Investment Portfolios
Trust) and the Fund Manager, the management fee consists of two elements: a Base
Fee and an Individual Fund Fee. The Base Fee is calculated as a percentage of
the combined net assets of all of the AARP Funds ("Program Assets") except the
AARP Diversified Income and Diversified Growth Portfolios, and each AARP Fund
pays, as its portion of the Base Fee, an amount equal to the ratio of its daily
net assets to the daily net assets of all of the AARP Funds (excluding the AARP
Diversified Income and Diversified Growth Portfolios).

   The Annual Base Fee is calculated as follows:

              .35% of the first $2.0 billion of such assets     
              .33% of the next $2.0 billion of such assets      
              .30% of the next $2.0 billion of such assets      
              .28% of the next $2.0 billion of such assets
              .26% of the next $3.0 billion of such assets 
              .25% of the next $3.0 billion of such assets 
              .24% of such assets thereafter               

   In addition to the Base Fee, each Fund (excluding the AARP U.S. Stock Index
Fund, and the AARP Diversified Income and AARP Diversified Growth Portfolios)
agrees to pay the Fund Manager a flat Individual Fund Fee based on the average
daily net assets of that Fund. The Individual Fund Fee Rate recognizes the
different characteristics of each Fund, the varying levels of complexity of
investment research and securities trading required to manage each Fund. The
Fund Manager has retained Bankers Trust Company as Subadviser to the AARP U.S.
Stock Index Fund; under the Subadvisory Agreement, the Fund Manager pays a
quarterly fee to the Subadviser.

   The Individual Fund Fee Rate is calculated at the following percentages of
the average daily net assets of each Fund:

</TABLE>

   The total amount of management fees for each Fund is shown in the Statement
of Operations as Management Fee.

   As manager of the assets of each Fund, the Fund Manager directs the
investments of each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies
and restrictions. In addition to portfolio management services, the Fund Manager
under the Management Agreement will provide certain administrative services in
accordance with such Agreement. The Fund Manager has also entered into a Member
Services Agreement with AARP Financial Services Corp. ("AFSC"), a subsidiary of
AARP, and pays portions of its investment management and advisory fee to AFSC.

   For the period October 1, 1996 through January 1, 1997, the Fund Manager
agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and reimburse a portion of
expenses in order to maintain the annualized expenses of the AARP Global Growth
Fund at no more than 1.75% of average daily net assets. Effective February 1,
1997, the Fund Manager has agreed to waive all or a portion of its management
fee and reimburse all or a portion of expenses in order to maintain the
following annualized expense ratios until January 31, 1998: AARP Stock Index
Fund, .50% of average daily net assets; AARP Bond Fund for Income, 0.00% of
average daily net assets; AARP International Stock Fund, 1.75% of average daily
net assets; and AARP Small Company Stock Fund, 1.75% of average daily net
assets. The amount of expenses waived and/or reimbursed by the Fund Manager, if
any, for each Fund has been shown in the Statement of Operations as Expense
Reductions.

   These Trusts also have a shareholder servicing agreement with Scudder Service
Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of the Fund Manager. As shareholder servicing
agent, SSC provides various transfer agent, dividend disbursing, and 


                                      137

Manager, is responsible for determining the daily net asset value per share and
maintaining the portfolio and general accounting records of the Funds. The
amount for each Fund is shown in the table below, and is included in Custodian
and accounting fees in the Statements of Operations.

                                    GLOSSARY
                                    --------

              AVERAGE ANNUALIZED    The one-year return of an investment        
                    TOTAL RETURN    based on its compounded total return. The   
                                    annualized return gives the investor an idea
                                    of the performance during each year of a    
                                    listed period, such as 3 years, 5 years or  
                                    10 years.                                   
                                    
                BARBELL STRATEGY    An investment strategy where the portfolio  
                                    manager holds bonds with short maturities   
                                    and long maturities that would give the     
                                    impression of a bar bell if the clusters of 
                                    bonds on either end were illustrated.       
                                                                                
                          COUPON    The name given to the interest payments that
                                    could be clipped and sent to the issuer for 
                                    payment. The average coupon rate would be   
                                    the expected interest rates of all the bonds
                                    held in a portfolio.                        
                                    
                         QUALITY    Quality is a measure of a bond issuer's     
                                    ability to repay interest and principal in a
                                    timely manner. The average quality is a     
                                    designation of all the bonds held in the    
                                    portfolio.                                  
                                                                                
                        DURATION    Duration is a mathematical calculation of   
                                    the average life of a bond (or bonds in a   
                                    bond fund) that serves as a useful measure  
                                    of its price risk. Each year of duration    
                                    represents an expected 1% change in the     
                                    price of a bond for every 1% change in      
                                    interest rates. For example, if a bond fund 
                                    has an average duration of two years, its   
                                    price will fall about 2% when interest rates
                                    rise by one percentage point. Conversely,   
                                    the bond fund's price will rise about 2%    
                                    when interest rates fall by one percentage  
                                    point.                                      
                                                                                
                        MATURITY    The date upon which bonds mature, that is,  
                                    the date when the issuer must pay back the  
                                    face amount of the bond. An investor who    
                                    buys $10,000 worth of 25-year bonds will    
                                    receive $10,000 at the end of 25 years,     
                                    after having received interest payments     
                                    (coupons) over the 25-year period.          
                                                                                
                 PREPAYMENT RISK    The possibility that, as interest rates     
                                    fall, homeowners will refinance their home  
                                    mortgages, resulting in the prepayment of   
                                    GNMA securities.                            
                                                                                
                    TOTAL RETURN    A measure of an investment's performance    
                                    that takes into account income paid, other  
                                    distributions, and any increase or decline  
                                    in the value of the principal over a given  
                                    period of time.                             
                                    
                       VALUATION    The process in which the value of a security
                                    is assessed or determined.                  
                                                                                
                           YIELD    The income per share paid to mutual fund    
                                    shareholders from the dividends and interest
                                    of that fund, expressed as a percentage for 
                                    a stated period of time. It is based on past
                                    performance and measured in time increments.
                                                                                
               YIELD TO MATURITY    Concept used to determine the rate of return
                                    an investor will receive if a long-term,    
                                    interest-bearing investment, such as a bond,
                                    is held until its maturity date.

Item 27.          Indemnification.
- --------          ----------------

         A policy of insurance covering Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc., its
         affiliates, including Scudder Investor Services, Inc., and all of the
         registered investment companies advised by Scudder, Stevens & Clark,
         Inc. insures the Registrant's Trustees and officers and others against
         liability arising by reason of an alleged breach of duty caused by any
         negligent act, error or accidental omission in the scope of their
         duties.

         Article IV, Sections 4.1 - 4.3 of Registrant's Declaration of Trust
         provide as follows:

         Section 4.1 No Personal Liability of Shareholders, Trustees, Etc. No
         Shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to
         any Person in connection with Trust Property or the acts, obligations
         or affairs of the Trust. No Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the
         Trust shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any
         Person, other than to the Trust or its Shareholders, in connection with
         Trust Property or the affairs of the Trust, save only that arising from
         bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard
         of his duties with respect to such Person; and all such Persons shall
         look solely to the Trust Property for satisfaction of claims of any
         nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust. If any
         Shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee, or agent, as such, of the
         Trust, is made a party to any suit or proceeding to enforce any such
         liability of the Trust, he shall not, on account thereof, be held to
         any personal liability. The Trust shall indemnify and hold each
         Shareholder harmless from and against all claims and liabilities, to
         which such Shareholder may become subject by reason of his being or
         having been a Shareholder, and shall reimburse such Shareholder for all
         legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with
         any such claim or liability, provided that any such expenses shall be
         paid solely out of the funds and property of the series of the Trust
         with respect to which such Shareholders Shares are issued. The rights
         accruing to a Shareholder under this Section 4.1 shall not exclude any
         other right to which such Shareholder may be lawfully entitled, nor
         shall anything herein contained restrict the right of the Trust to
         indemnify or reimburse a Shareholder in any appropriate situation even
         though not specifically provided herein.

         Section 4.2 Non-Liability of Trustees, Etc. No Trustee, officer,
         employee or agent of the Trust shall be liable to the Trust, its
         Shareholders, or to any Shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee, agent
         or service provider thereof for any action or failure to act by him (or
         her) or any other such Trustee, officer, employee, agent or service
         provider (including without limitation the failure to compel in any way
         any former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust) except for
         his own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless
         disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. The term
         "service provider" as used in this Section 4.2, shall include any
         investment adviser, principal underwriter or other person with whom the
         Trust has an agreement for provision of services.

         Section 4.3  Mandatory Indemnification.
         -----------  --------------------------

                  (a)      Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained 
                           in paragraph (b) below:

                           (i) every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or
                           officer of the Trust shall be indemnified by the
                           Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law against
                           all liability and against all expenses reasonably
                           incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim,
                           action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes
                           involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his
                           being or having been a Trustee or officer and against
                           amounts paid or incurred by him in the settlement
                           thereof;

                           (ii) the words "claim," "action," "suit," or
                           "proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions,
                           suits or proceedings (civil, criminal, or other,
                           including appeals), actual or threatened; and the

                           words "liability" and "expenses" shall include,
                           without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs,
                           judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines,
                           penalties and other liabilities.

                  (b)      No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a 
                           Trustee or officer:

                           (i) against any liability to the Trust or the
                           Shareholders by reason of a final adjudication by the
                           court or other body before which the proceeding was
                           brought that he engaged in willful misfeasance, bad
                           faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the
                           duties involved in the conduct of his office;

                           (ii) with respect to any matter as to which he shall
                           have been finally adjudicated not to have acted in
                           good faith in the reasonable belief that his action
                           was in the best interest of the Trust;

                           (iii) in the event of a settlement or other
                           disposition not involving a final adjudication as
                           provided in paragraph (b)(i) resulting in a payment
                           by a Trustee or officer, unless there has been a
                           determination that such Trustee or officer did not
                           engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
                           negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
                           involved in the conduct of his office;

                                 (A) by the court or other body approving the
                                 settlement or other disposition; or

                                 (B) based upon a review of readily available
                                 facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry)
                                 by (x) vote of a majority of the Disinterested
                                 Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a
                                 majority of the Disinterested Trustees then in
                                 office act on the matter) or (y) written
                                 opinion of independent legal counsel.

                  (c) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be
                  insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be
                  severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any
                  Trustee or officer may now or hereafter be entitled, shall
                  continue as to a person who has ceased to be such Trustee or
                  officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
                  executors, administrators and assigns of such a person.
                  Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to
                  indemnification to which personnel of the Trust other than
                  Trustees and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise
                  under law.

                  (d) Expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to
                  any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character
                  described in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.3 shall be
                  advanced by the Trust prior to final disposition thereof upon
                  receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to
                  repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he is
                  not entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.3
                  provided that either:

                           (i) such undertaking is secured by a surety bond or 
                           some appropriate security provided by the recipient,
                           or the Trust shall be insured against losses arising
                           out of any such advances: or

                           (ii) a majority of the Disinterested Trustees acting
                           on the matter (provided that a majority of the
                           Disinterested Trustees act on the matter) or an
                           independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall
                           determine, based upon a review of readily available
                           facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that
                           there is reason to believe that the recipient
                           ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

                  As used in this Section 4.3, a "Disinterested Trustee" is one
                  who is not (i) an "Interested Person" of the Trust (including
                  anyone who has been exempted from being an "Interested Person"
                  by any rule, regulation or order of the Commission), or (ii)
                  involved in the claim, action, suit or proceeding.
