Annual Review
A Message from Linda C. Coughlin, Chairperson
AARP Investment Program from Scudder
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
I am pleased to report to you on the recent activities of the AARP
Investment Program from Scudder and about our vision for the Program going
forward.
For some people, the new millenium will be just another year of new
beginnings, for others it will be a momentous event. Whatever your perspective,
I can tell you that this is a special new dawning in the evolution of the AARP
Investment Program.
This year we adopted a mission statement that articulates our continuing
commitment to investor education and reflects our understanding of life stage
development issues that face shareholders of all ages. Our goal is:
"Helping investors be prepared for life's financial eventualities."
Turning fifty, deciding on a career change, caring for loved ones, or
planning your legacy are all major events. We call them "life's eventualities"
because whether you prepare for them or not, you may face them in your lifetime.
These events are usually accompanied by major financial decisions, which will
require most investors to seek help.
Our approach focuses on helping investors be prepared. We believe that one
of the shortcomings of popularized personal financial advice is a focus on "the
transaction." Financial magazine headlines such as "The Top 10 Mutual Funds to
Buy Now" are typical of this emphasis. While such articles attract attention and
may contain useful information, the articles can distract investors from the
broader issues of planning for one's financial well being. We believe that
investors need to take a step back from individual transactions to develop a
plan to meet their specific needs and financial goals. To help investors with
this task, we are developing a customizable program that gives investors the
tools, resources, and knowledge to be prepared for life's financial
eventualities.
BECOME PREPARED THROUGH LEARNING
Educating shareholders has been an integral component of the AARP
Investment Program since the beginning of our partnership with AARP in 1984.
Over the years many of you have expressed an increasing desire to learn and
understand more about investing so that you can pursue your goals, make your own
2
<PAGE>
informed decisions, and remain independent. In conjunction with AARP, we stepped
up our commitment to investor education last year with the launch of several new
programs.
One of our first major initiatives was the introduction of the Legacy
Service, a program that is designed to help shareholders feel confident that
their investments will pass easily to their spouse or heirs in the way intended.
With the many emotional and financial issues associated with a death or
incapacitation of a loved one, we realized that the AARP Investment Program
could provide education and practical help at a time when people needed it the
most. By calling the AARP Investment Program's 800 number, surviving family
members can speak with a trained Legacy Service Specialist. In addition to
providing practical information concerning a deceased member's account, each
Specialist is trained to offer emotional support during what can be a painful
and confusing time. Today, this program is among the most sought-after services
of the AARP Investment Program.
In addition to the Legacy Service, we recently introduced another major
educational program, the AARP Investment Program Financial Library. The Library
is comprised of brief and concise guides that focus on specific issues important
to investors such as "Taking Stock of Your Retirement Plan Assets," "Planning
Ahead for the Transfer of Assets When Death Occurs," and "What Individuals 70
and Over Should Know About IRAs." (Please see the Special Section on the
Financial Library beginning on page 5 for additional information.) Many of you
have played an important role in the Library's development by suggesting topics
for the guides. Already we've received some positive feedback. One caller told
Jeneen Hammond, AARP Investment Program Representative, that the information
received was "...informative, nicely done, and he likes the personalization." To
make the guides more meaningful, we are encouraging shareholders to submit
real-life personal experiences relating to each topic so that others can see how
their fellow shareholders are addressing each situation.
We also reached out locally with the launch of our first nationwide seminar
program. Shareholders and AARP members in 17 cities were invited to attend one
of our two seminar programs -- "Investing
Basics" and "Investing: Beyond the Basics." The
high marks received from attendees spurred us to
expand the offering this fall to include a third
program called "Planning Your Legacy," which THE PRINTED DOCUMENT
provides the opportunity for people to learn about CONTAINS A PHOTOGRAPH
and discuss issues pertaining to the transfer of HERE
wealth. Attendees have praised the program saying
"[The seminar] ... was wonderful, informative, and
interesting. The associates and presentations
couldn't have been better." Another attendee
commented, "Very satisfied! Something I should
have done sooner." We are encouraged by this AARP Investment Program
positive feedback and intend to continue the Investment Seminar,
educational seminar series next year. Roanoke, Virgina

<PAGE>
We think one of the most exciting chapters for the AARP Investment Program
will begin next year when we will implement the balance of our investor
education program. A key component of the program's design is its integration
across all points of contact no matter which way you choose to interact with us.
Because everyone learns differently -- some prefer attending seminars, others
prefer reading printed materials, and still others may opt for an on-line,
self-paced course or to speak with one of our knowledgeable telephone
representatives -- we intend to offer a consistent learning experience to all
shareholders. The program will allow you to learn at your own pace and achieve
mastery in specific areas.
LEARNING ON-LINE
An important part of providing this unique learning experience will be the
use of the AARP Investment Program's Web site -- aarp.scudder.com. This fall we
rolled out a new and improved version of our Web site where you can browse
through our Financial Library or view your account information and make
exchanges between funds. However, next year we will be adding more features,
including the opportunity to discuss investment issues with other investors and
portfolio managers, and enroll in one of our on-line courses. I encourage you to
visit the site when you receive this report since we are continually adding new
information and features.
We will be offering on-line courses in three major areas:
o Investing for and Investing in Retirement
o Care Planning (long-term care, caring for a family member)
o Wealth Transfer (planning and managing your legacy)
Each course consists of lessons designed to meet specific and measurable
learning objectives. You will be challenged to practice what you learn and apply
key concepts and principles to your own situation through Financial Library
reading assignments and case studies. You will also have the opportunity to
gauge and celebrate your progress through interactive self-assessments.

FINDING THE ON-RAMP TO THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY
For those of you who haven't made the leap to the Internet yet, I would
like to share some words of encouragement with you -- you can do it. Your fellow
4
<PAGE>
AARP members can tell you why. Let me explain. In September, we posted a notice
on the AARP Investment Program Web site asking shareholders and AARP members to
tell us about how they got started with computers and the Internet. In
particular, we wanted to know how shareholders overcame the obstacles of getting
on-line.
The responses we received were fascinating. (Thank you if you
participated!) Each person told a unique story about her or his first and
sometimes frustrating beginnings with the Internet. However, with some
persistence, many described the discovery of a whole new world that included
rekindling old friendships and keeping closer touch with family members. Others
told us about broadened learning experiences through the vast resources
available on the Internet. I've included a few excerpts below that I think speak
for themselves.
"I got [a typing program] to teach me how to type -- at 67. We
spend much time on-line, surfing and e-mailing mostly. We keep
track of investments (including AARP funds), keep in touch with
the kids, grandkids, and one great granddaughter. Getting
on-line is one of our greater privileges of this day."
-- William H. Thompson, Ripshin Mountain, Tennessee
"My first experience was horrible. ... I finally took some
courses [at the] local community college. I wasn't going to give
up. ... [By] February of 1998 I started to get the hang of it. I
used e-mail to contact younger family members who were spread
out through the country. I don't have the problems I had when I
first started but I still have a ways to go. I never regret
buying [a computer]."
-- Andrew Gula, Syracuse, New York
"Although I worry about my privacy and/or my identity being
stolen via the [Information] Superhighway, I can't help but make
much use of its convenience. I can get information 24 hours a
day without ever leaving home. (Ben Franklin would be amazed to
see how his library is now reaching around the globe!) The
Internet also helps to cut down on time spent comparison
shopping. I can arm myself with information about products and
pricing before I head out to the stores."
-- Lee Hendrickson, Underhill, Vermont
"I have been on the Internet for about six months and found it
extremely easy to use. I felt it is important to keep up with
the current technology and not be `left behind.'"
-- Jane Wilhelm, Excelsior, Minnesota
"We have had no instruction on computers. I bought the computer,
brought it home, set it up myself, got a book and learned how to
use it, then taught mother who said she would never learn, and
now she is on the computer so much we need another and we bought
a laptop to carry in our motor home."
-- Samuel J. and Kay L. Fowler, Williamston, Michigan
(These responses were edited to fit the space available. To view these e-mail
messages in their entirety or to see additional e-mails about "Getting on the
`Net," visit our Web site at aarp.scudder.com.)

<PAGE>
The Internet provides us with an opportunity to create a unique experience
tailored to your particular interests and preferences. In addition, it is a very
cost-effective way for the AARP Investment Program to expand its offerings and
provide more value-added services to shareholders. As a result, our goal is
clear -- we must make using our Internet Web site easy and convenient in every
way possible, whether you are checking an account balance, making an exchange
between funds, or taking one of our on-line courses.
If you prefer to interact with us in other ways, we will continue to
provide you with a range of options, including printed materials (e.g., the
Financial Library), local investment seminars, round-the-clock access to our
automated phone system -- Easy Access (800-631-4636) and, of course, our "live"
telephone representatives. However, we believe that the flexibilities and
personalization available through our Web site will provide you with the most
valuable experience.
In closing, I would like you to know that we believe our commitment to
educating investors is unique among investment companies. While other firms
produce educational materials, we are not aware of any that have a stated goal
of educating investors with a commitment to prepare them for life's financial
eventualities. With so many choices available to investors today, we think this
is an important and distinguishing characteristic of the AARP Investment
Program.
As in the past, your suggestions will continue to drive the evolution of
the AARP Investment Program. As a result, we know that we must work hard every
day to maintain your trust. In the months ahead we will continue to improve and
broaden the products and services that are important to you. With your ongoing
input, I am certain that we can make your experience with us not only valuable,
but also memorable.
Thank you for another year of patronage.
My best,
/s/Lin Coughlin

The Special Section appears in the annual report
and highlights a service or topic that the AARP
Investment Program from Scudder believes will help
shareholders prepare for life's financial
eventualities. This year's feature is on the
Program's new Financial Library, part of our
continuing commitment to investor education. The
Library is comprised of a series of guides on
specific topics affecting investors over the age
of 50. This section highlights the goals of the
Financial Library and shows you how you can use it.

AARP Investment Program
Introduces the Financial Library
This summer the AARP Investment Program from THE PRINTED DOCUMENT
Scudder added a major component to its investor CONTAINS LOGO ART
education effort with the introduction of a Financial HERE
Library. The Financial Library is a collection of
guides on investment topics specially designed for
people age 50 and over. Each guide focuses on a
specific topic and provides additional reading or Web
sites for readers to continue their research. The FINANCIAL
information is impartial, factual, and presented in a ---------
clear and concise manner. At four to six pages, the LIBRARY
guides are intentionally brief and to the point. -------
Nearly all of the subjects for the guides came to us from you, our
shareholders. With over 15 years' experience fielding calls for the AARP
Investment Program, we have gathered a deep well of knowledge about your needs.
Many of you have asked for information on taxes, IRAs, lump sum investing,
handling estates, account ownership, and retirement. The Library reflects these
needs for information, placing them in the context of the most common life
events. The guides cover subjects such as "Taking Stock of Your Retirement Plan
Assets," "Planning Ahead for the Transfer of Assets When Death Occurs," and
"What Individuals 70 and Over Should Know About IRAs." This Library is one way
we intend to help you be prepared for life's financial eventualities.
Helping investors be prepared for life's financial eventualities
As investors change careers or close in on retirement, they need to prepare
for major personal as well as financial transitions. Others who are already
living in retirement are seeking guidance that will help them reduce the risk of
outliving their retirement savings. Many of you will encounter a number of
difficult financial decisions, including funding long-term care, planning an
estate, or coping with the death of a loved one. The Financial Library addresses
a number of these subjects and can help you be prepared for these often complex
decisions.
At the beginning of each guide, you are invited to write to us about your
investing experiences. For example, those of you who lived during the Great
Depression were shaped by the experience, which affected a lifetime of saving
and investing behavior. We would like to invite you to impart some of that
time-tested knowledge to others. We know that most of you have a story to tell
about investing, and believe that other shareholders will benefit from your
experience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Important life events, such as the birth of a grandchild, send people
in search of sound investment information. We want investors to turn to
us during these times."
-- Jim Thompson
Director of Customer and Associate Education
AARP Investment Program from Scudder
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------
The Financial Library --
Designed with investors in mind:
o Topics identified by AARP shareholders
o Covers a specific subject concisely in four to six pages
o Written in an easy to understand style
o Easy on the eyes
o Provides clear action steps
------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1998 we conducted focus group interviews with AARP Investment Program
shareholders to ascertain their reaction to the concept of a financial library.
Those that participated told us in frank terms that most investment information
requires a finance degree to understand, is not well explained, and does not
address the issues they (older people) face. They said that concise,
well-written articles on topics important to them could help them understand and
plan their finances better. This research confirmed the need to create a
financial library.
The principles for developing the Library
Three principals have guided the development of the Library:
#1 Everybody learns differently: Some people want to attend a
seminar; others want to interact with fellow investors over the
Internet; still others are looking for various kinds of printed
materials to help make wise financial decisions. People want to
learn at their own pace and in a way in which they are most
comfortable.
#2 Most people address one or two financial decisions at a time
based on their particular situation or life stage. Turning
fifty, retirement, caring for a loved one, death of a spouse, or
planning one's legacy -- all are major life events that are
usually accompanied by major financial decisions. These singular
events drive many financial decisions and are reflected in the
topics contained in the Library.
#3 Investors do not have the time or inclination to wade through
a large volume of technical information on investing. For
example, is it necessary to read a whole book that broadly
discusses IRAs to understand the specific distribution options
for an IRA holder nearing the required minimum distribution age
of 70 1/2? Most investors live busy, full lives and would rather
spend their time with work, personal projects, or family.
By developing guides that contain bite-sized bits of information on
specific topics in an easy to follow format, we believe that the Library can
help investors be prepared for life's financial eventualities.
The Library is part of a larger investor education program that has been
underway at the AARP Investment Program for some time. This year we offered 47
investment seminars in 17 cities across the country in conjunction with AARP.
The Library reflects many of the topics discussed at the seminars, and we used
attendee feedback to improve seminar materials and to fine-tune the design of
the Financial Library guides.

<PAGE>
In the future, on-line planning and investing courses will be offered,
enabling you to learn at your level and pace -- whether you are a beginner or an
experienced investor. To take part, you will need access to the Internet. We are
taking this path because of the rapidly increasing number of AARP members who
are "going on-line." We encourage you to think seriously about taking this step
if you have not yet done so. In the future, our Internet Web site --
aarp.scudder.com -- will continue to grow as a source of rich educational
experiences and practical tools for managing your finances.
Obtaining Financial Library guides
If you have access to the Internet, you can view the most up-to-date list
of guides (we are adding and revising guides continuously) at our Web site --
aarp.scudder.com. You can download guides from the Web site with Adobe Acrobat
Reader (free software that allows you to view and print Library guides).
If you are unable to download a guide, you can still order up to three
guides by calling the AARP Investment Program at 800-253-2277 (limit: three per
request). Please have the document publication number(s) handy when ordering.
Your printed guides will be delivered in one personalized booklet. In the months
ahead, we'll be adding more guides to the Library until it reaches approximately
100 subjects, so check back regularly to see what's new.

fund performance for the 12-month period ended
September 30, 1999.

Investment Performance for the 12-month
period ended September 30, 1999
Cornelia Small, President and Investment Director,
AARP Investment Program from Scudder
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
What a difference a year makes! From the depths of THE PRINTED DOCUMENT
what the president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank CONTAINS A PHOTOGRAPH
described as "the greatest financial crisis in 50 OF CORNELIA SMALL HERE
years," the markets have recovered and risen to new
highs with virtually no trace of last year's troubles.
Much of the thanks for the global rebound should go to
the world's central bankers who coordinated a series of Cornelia Small
timely interest rate cuts that restored confidence and
liquidity. Now that the world is firmly back on its President and
feet, the Fed has become less accommodating. The Fed Investment Director
has hiked rates twice, and as of September 30, 1999,
still retained a bias to tighten further. The Fed is
clearly worrying that an overheating economy will cause
inflation to rise.
Because we do not see the traditional forces of higher inflation at work
(rising prices for most goods and services), we think inflation fears are
exaggerated. However, interest rates may continue to rise in response to
accelerating global growth. And growth is certainly robust. America's gross
domestic product (GDP) continued to expand at nearly a 5% annual rate during the
summer, the labor markets are tight, and consumers have been spending at a
furious pace. Rising real estate values and investor stock portfolios have
contributed to consumers' optimism. Overseas, there are signs that some
economies are turning up. In Japan, investor sentiment and economic growth
improved significantly at the beginning of 1999, contributing to a strong stock
market rally. Outside Japan, Asia has bounced strongly off last year's bottom,
and Euroland's economy is gathering strength with each passing month. Not only
the Fed, but also bond markets have taken note, and interest rates are up all
around the world.
Despite rising rates, strong corporate earnings have helped support the
U.S. equity market. Second quarter operating earnings for S&P 500 companies came
in 10.7% above levels a year ago, the first double-digit rise since 1997, due in
part to the explosive earnings growth of companies in the technology sector.
Early reports on the third quarter are also very encouraging. Yet, the good
earnings news could not cancel the impact of higher rates. The tussle between
the two kept the market on a roller coaster ride for much of the summer. Stocks
closed the period little changed from mid-April levels.

International) World (excluding U.S.) Index is a broad-based

----------
GROWTH AND TECHNOLOGY STOCKS DOMINATED THE U.S. MARKETS
Despite a rally in value and smaller-cap issues in the second calendar
quarter, large-cap growth stocks dominated market returns for most of the
12-month period. Beneath the surface of the broad indices, the overall market
weakened substantially. As investors became more concerned with the effects of
rising rates on future earnings and stock valuations, market leadership remained
confined to a shrinking number of large-cap growth and technology stocks for
much of the period. As a result, the performance of the major U.S. stock indices
has masked the fact that the majority of U.S. equities has actually fallen so
far in 1999, after their sharp recovery at the end of 1998. While the changed
environment resulted in price declines in the third calendar quarter, total
returns for the 12 months were anything but disappointing for most equity
investors (see chart above).
STRONGER GROWTH, CONSOLIDATION BOOST FOREIGN STOCKS
The investment picture has been brighter overseas, where restructuring,
consolidation, and an ongoing economic recovery are boosting market performance.
Japan's second consecutive rise in quarterly GDP surprised almost everybody, and

indicators promise more growth to come. In addition, investors viewed the
announcement of the three-way merger between Fuji Bank, Industrial Bank of
Japan, and Daichi Kangyo Bank as evidence that meaningful financial reform is
finally underway in Japan. As foreign investment capital has flowed back into
the country, the yen has staged a powerful rally in U.S. dollar terms, rising
from 122 on July 8 to a high of 103 on September 23. (A decline indicates fewer
yen are required to buy one U.S. dollar.) The U.S. interest rate outlook has
more negatively influenced Europe's markets, but many individual stocks have
risen on acceleration in merger activity. In addition, the economies of the
Continent have begun to show signs of life after several years in the doldrums.
The presence of these powerful trends combined with attractive valuations for
many foreign stocks suggests to us that international markets are poised for a
period of outperformance.
OVERVIEW OF AARP FUND PERFORMANCE
Two of our most aggressive domestic equity funds provided excellent returns
- -- AARP Capital Growth Fund and AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund. Both funds benefited
from the strong performance of large-cap and technology stocks, especially
during the first six months of the period. AARP Capital Growth Fund's 36.83%
12-month return reflects our "growth at a reasonable price" investment
discipline. The fund's investment in many dominant, well-run companies also
16
<PAGE>
contributed to its ranking among the top 6% of 357 large-cap core funds as
ranked by Lipper.^1 The AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund, which seeks to mirror the
performance of the S&P 500 with less risk than other index funds by emphasizing
dividend-paying stocks, also exceeded the performance of its benchmark with a
28.02% return.
Except for a brief period in the second calendar quarter when value and
smaller-cap stocks led performance, large-cap and technology stocks provided the
best performance for the period. This environment proved challenging for many
mutual funds with diversified portfolios that seek attractively valued stocks,
such as AARP Growth and Income Fund and the equity portion of AARP Balanced
Stock and Bond Fund. While both funds outperformed the S&P 500 in the second
quarter as value stocks rallied, investor sentiment shifted back to large-cap
stocks in the third quarter. Historically, these funds have provided competitive
returns with less risk, but their emphasis on stocks with attractive valuations
precluded investment in many of the higher-risk stocks that led performance
during this period.
As you may know, growth stocks outdistanced value stocks by a wide margin
over the 12-month period. The disparity in performance between growth and value
stocks stood at its widest point in 20 years, with the Russell 1000 Growth Index
returning 34.85% while the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 18.72% for the 12
months. With the AARP Growth and Income Fund's investment universe having a
value orientation, the fund faced a substantial head wind in this unusual
environment. Nevertheless, we continue to believe that the fund's emphasis on
stocks with attractive valuations will provide investors with competitive
returns with less risk over the long term. Evidence of the fund's success with
this approach is measured by Morningstar, which rates fund performance on a
risk-adjusted basis. As of September 30, 1999, the fund held an overall
four-star Morningstar Rating(TM) for its risk-adjusted return among 3,210
domestic equity funds.^2
Small-cap stocks reported respectable gains for the period with a 19.07%
return as measured by the Russell 2000 Index. If it hadn't been for the outsized
gains of other sectors, this return would have seemed generous. Due to its
value-orientation and smaller market capitalization, the AARP Small Company
Stock Fund trailed the performance of the Russell 2000 Index for the 12 months.
Despite its short-term performance, the fund has outperformed the index since
inception and has done so with less price volatility. With small-cap stocks
recently reaching a 20-year low relative to large-cap stocks, we believe that
small-caps remain poised for a rebound at some point.

1 Source: Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. As of 9/30/99, AARP Capital Growth
Fund ranked in the top 34% of 108 funds for the five-year period and in the
top 75% of 47 funds for the ten-year period. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results.
2 Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
performance through 9/30/99. The ratings are subject to change every month.
Morningstar ratings are calculated from the fund's three-, five-, and
ten-year returns (with fee adjustments) in excess of 90-day Treasury bill
returns, and a risk factor that reflects fund performance below 90-day
T-bill returns. AARP Growth and Income Fund received three stars for the
three- and five-year periods and four stars for the ten-year period among
3210, 2010, and 751 domestic equity funds in its broad asset class,
respectively. The top 10% of funds in its broad asset class receive five
stars, the next 22.5% receive four stars, and the next 35% receive three
stars. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

In the international area, we are pleased to report that AARP Global Growth
Fund earned its first Morningstar Rating(TM) this year. Reflecting the fund's
continuing commitment to competitive returns with less risk, the fund was
assigned an overall four-star rating for its risk-adjusted performance (among
1,025 international funds as of 9/30/99).^3 AARP International Stock Fund
rebounded sharply in the second half of the period due in part to increased
exposure to the Japanese market (which rallied strongly) and value stocks'
return to favor. These funds were the two next best performing AARP funds after
AARP Capital Growth Fund and AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund.
While the rising interest rate environment resulted in price declines for
most income-oriented investors, fixed income funds with the shortest durations
- -- such as money market funds and short term bond funds -- fared the best. This
environment helped propel the 7-day average yield of AARP Premium Money Fund
above 5% as of the end of the period. AARP High Quality Short Term Bond Fund
continued to add to its long-term performance record with an overall four-star
Morningstar Rating(TM) for its risk-adjusted return (among 1,585 taxable bond
funds as of 9/30/99).^4 Despite the potential for increased income going
forward, funds that invest in longer-term and lower-quality bonds generally
experienced price declines and flat to negative total returns. Mortgage-backed
securities, such as those in which AARP GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund invests,
weathered this difficult period better than corporate bonds or Treasury
securities. AARP GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund continued its long-term record of
competitive returns with less risk by earning an overall four-star Morningstar
Rating(TM) for its risk-adjusted performance (among 1,585 taxable bond funds as
of 9/30/99).^5
IN PERSPECTIVE
While it is impossible to predict which market or sector will perform the
best next year, we believe that longer-term patterns exist. Many markets and
industries tend to move in cycles with imbalances tending to correct themselves
over time. These shifts in investor sentiment and markets provide opportunities
for long-term investors. For example, we have been expecting the foreign markets
to rebound for some time. In early 1999 we began to see renewed interest in this
area with the rebound in the Japanese stock market. Japan's resurgence is a good
example for the need to maintain exposure to several asset classes -- not just
U.S. growth stocks or technology shares. As investors recognize attractive
values, they enter a market or invest in a stock, and the price often rises
quickly. In many cases if you are not "there" in the beginning, you likely will
miss a large fraction of the upside. Therefore, we believe that maintaining
diversified exposure to a range of asset classes can provide investors with the
potential for greater portfolio returns and less risk over time.

As we look toward the new year, we think U.S. economic growth will slow
with the possibility of further increases in interest rates tempering potential
domestic stock and bond market returns. Nevertheless, we continue to believe
that there will be many great opportunities for investors, especially in markets
outside the United States. One consequence of our truly global economy and
financial markets is that international capital has become more important to the
performance of the world's financial markets than trade flows. As a result, we
are expecting more price volatility in the global markets as investors continue
to adjust to an acceleration of global growth.

AARP HIGH QUALITY MONEY FUND
- ----------------------------
SIDEBAR TEXT:
GOAL
The fund seeks to provide current income and liquidity, consistent
with stability and safety of principal, while maintaining a constant
share price of $1. The fund pursues its goal by investing principally
in short-term debt securities issued by U.S. corporations and
financial institutions, and the U.S. government and its agencies.
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 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
investments 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.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The performance of the AARP High Quality Money Fund reflected the
movement of short-term interest rates over the 12-month period ended
September 30, 1999. The short-term yield curve returned to a positive
slope during the period, indicating that the Federal Reserve has
switched from an accommodative to a restrictive monetary policy. Over
the summer, it raised the Federal Funds rate two times to 5.25% as a
preemptive strike against signs of modest inflationary pressures. Our
strategy over the period was to maintain a conservative stance in
order to be able to take advantage of higher yields that we expect
will be available from securities maturing after the calendar
year-end.
All securities purchased during the period were rated within the
two highest quality ranges 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 Corporation
(S&P). We also complied with the guidelines to maintain an AAAm rating
from S&P, the highest rating available (approximately 5% of money
funds are rated AAAm, which provides an added degree of assurance for
discriminating investors).1 In addition, within the universe of
securities that fit within the S&P criteria, Scudder Kemper credit
analysts adhere to even stricter guidelines, approving only a small
percentage. Thus the universe of securities from which we construct
the fund's portfolio is smaller and generally of better quality than
most other money market funds.
OUTLOOK
The AARP High Quality Money Fund can be an excellent vehicle for
investors seeking to preserve capital, earn current income, and
maintain liquidity. In the current economic environment, we expect the
fund to meet its goal of favorable investment returns with a high
degree of safety.

Welcome to the first annual report for the AARP Premium Money
Fund, covering the abbreviated fiscal period from February 1, 1999,
through September 30, 1999. The fund seeks higher yields than the AARP
High Quality Money Fund primarily through a lower expense structure,
made possible by a higher investment minimum.
FUND PERFORMANCE
For the eight-month period ended September 30, 1999, the fund
posted a 3.09% total return. The fund's 7-day current yield was 5.06%
as of the close of the period. The performance of the AARP Premium
Money Fund reflected the movement of short-term interest rates over
the abbreviated annual period. The short-term yield curve was
positively sloped during the period, indicating that the Federal
Reserve has switched to a restrictive monetary policy. Over the
summer, it raised the Federal Funds rate two times to 5.25% as a
preemptive strike against signs of modest inflationary pressures. And
though the Fed did not raise rates at its meeting shortly after the
close of the period (on October 5), it declared a bias toward raising
rates going forward. Our strategy over the period was to maintain a
conservative stance in order to be able to take advantage of higher
yields that we expect will be available from securities maturing after
the calendar year-end.
INVESTMENT PROCESS
While the fund has slightly more flexibility to invest in a
broader range of money market securities than the AARP High Quality
Money Fund, we purchased only securities rated within the highest
rating categories of at least one of the three leading national
statistical rating organizations: Fitch Investors Service, Inc.,
Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or Standard & Poor's Corporation
(S&P). In addition, within the universe of securities that meet the
fund's eligibility requirements for purchase, we adhered to even
stricter guidelines, approving only a small percentage. Thus the
universe of securities from which the fund's portfolio is constructed
is limited to highly creditworthy issues with a proven ability to
repay their debt.

The combination of continued strong growth in the United States and a
resurgence in the economies of Asia and Europe has stoked inflation fears and
prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice in recent months. All
sectors of the bond market have suffered as a result, but corporate bonds, which
make up the majority of fund assets, have been particularly poor performers due
to record levels of new issuance. Short-term bonds were not immune to the
unfavorable environment, but they generally outperformed bonds with longer
maturities.

FUND PERFORMANCE
For the 12 months ended September 30, 1999, the fund returned 1.21%, which
consisted of 5.47% in income distributions and -4.26% in capital change. Over
the same time frame, the fund's unmanaged benchmark, the Salomon Brothers Inc.
Treasury/Government Sponsored Corporate Index (1-3 years), returned 2.90%. The
fund's 30-day SEC yield was 5.78% as of the end of the period versus 5.25% on
March 31, 1999.
THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The primary reason for the fund's underperformance was the fact that its
duration (interest rate sensitivity) was above that of its benchmark for most of
the period. While we have been steadily reducing the fund's duration -- from 2.4
years on September 30, 1998, to 2.3 on March 31, 1999, to 2.1 at present -- our
positioning had a negative impact on performance at a time when bonds with
maturities of 2-5 years generally underperformed those with maturities of two
years or less. Going forward, we intend to keep duration close to that of its
benchmark until such time as we see an indication that the economy is slowing,
or we gain a clearer indication that the Fed is adopting a more neutral bias
with respect to interest rates. The fund's average credit quality remains steady
at AA.

In the corporate sector, we continued to underweight the so-called
"smokestack" industries in favor of bonds issued by high-quality companies in
the financial and consumer non-durables sectors. In the latter group, we have
focused on companies with steady revenue streams, such as Safeway, Gillette, and
Racers-Kellogg. Although our holdings in these sectors have not performed as
well for us recently as they have over the past two years, we believe that a
focus on quality will benefit the fund over the long-term.
In recent months, we have begun to pare back on our positions in some of
the more thinly traded asset-backed securities in the portfolio in favor of
those that offer better liquidity. We also plan to trim our position in
corporates in favor of U.S government agency notes and mortgage-backed
securities. While all three sectors have performed poorly in recent months, we
feel that the relative value offered by high-quality mortgages and agency notes
is extremely compelling at this juncture.
OUTLOOK
We continue to hold a neutral outlook on the fixed income markets. On one
hand, we remain cautious due to the ongoing strength of the U.S. economy. While
the fears of inflation have not yet been substantiated by actual evidence, it is
likely that the market will react strongly if the economic boom in the U.S. does
indeed cause inflation to accelerate. On the other hand, we believe that from
the standpoint of a long-term investment horizon, the recent slump in the bond
market has produced some intriguing values. We will strive to capitalize on the
these values in the months ahead, and will continue to seek the optimal
combination of strong returns and lower risk. Although the fund has
underperformed in recent months, we continue to believe in the long-term value
of our investment strategy.

Interest rates generally rose and bond prices declined over the 12
months, as strong domestic economic growth and a rebound in selected foreign
markets heightened inflation concerns. Mortgage-backed securities weathered the
difficult period better than other classes of fixed-income securities, such as
corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, or Treasuries.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The environment improved significantly for mortgage-backed securities
toward the end of the 12-month period, which helped the fund rank in the top 42%
of 54 GNMA funds, according to Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., an independent
analyst of investment performance. Longer term, the fund ranked in the top 77%
of 38 funds for the five-year period and in the top 76% of 24 funds for the
ten-year period ended September 30, 1999.
For the same 12-month period, the fund returned 0.99%, which consisted of
6.12% in income distributions and -5.13% in capital change. The fund's benchmark
- -- the Lehman Brothers GNMA Index -- returned 2.39% for the same period.
Reflecting the rising rate environment, the fund's 30-day standardized SEC yield
rose from 5.96% a year ago to 6.10% as of the end of the period.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
In pursuing the fund's objective we employ a top-down approach that focuses
on four key factors: the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates
(duration), the allocation between GNMA and Treasury securities, the vintage and
"seasoning" of issues, and the fund's positioning with respect to the yield
curve.
In an effort to reduce price volatility as interest rates began to rise
during the first six months of the fiscal period, we increased the fund's
exposure to GNMAs by increasing the duration of the fund's mortgage holdings and
reducing the duration of the fund's Treasury holdings. Overall portfolio
duration rose from 2.5 years to 3.4 years in the first six months primarily
because duration lengthens when rates rise. During the last six months of the
period we reduced the fund's holdings of GNMAs to 88% of the portfolio (down
from 90% a year ago) in an effort to reduce the fund's exposure to the duration
extension risk that is inherent in all mortgages when interest rates rise and to
take advantage of the defensive characteristics of Treasuries in advance of Y2K
concerns. Despite our strategy of attempting to limit duration extension risk,
the portfolio's duration continued to rise, contributing to its underperformance
relative to its benchmark index. At the end of the period, the fund's duration
stood at 4.3 years.
In the first half of the period we focused on trimming the fund's exposure
to high coupon mortgages, which are more susceptible to refinancing and
prepayment risk, by reducing holdings of GNMAs with coupons of 8% or more.
Toward the end of the period we emphasized GNMAs with coupons close to current
rates (7.5% coupons) because we believed these securities offered more relative
value.
OUTLOOK
As we near the close of 1999 we are not expecting a calamity of any sort
related to Y2K, but we are expecting decreased liquidity as some investors move
into high quality and highly liquid investments. This should create a positive
environment for Treasury securities. Longer term, we have a favorable outlook
for mortgage securities. With mortgages currently trading at relatively high
yields compared to Treasuries, we expect these securities to return to more
normal levels resulting in higher prices.

FUND PERFORMANCE
During a difficult period for most fixed-income securities, including
municipal bonds, the AARP Insured Tax Free General Bond Fund posted a negative
return but displayed strong competitive performance. The fund's total return for
its most recent fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 was -1.21%. The fund's

rose approximately one and one-half percentage point and their prices declined
10% over the 12-month period. In comparison, municipal bond yields rose one
percentage point, and their prices declined 7%. Our strategy in light of these
market conditions was to continue to maintain a shorter portfolio duration than
most other insured municipal bond funds. Over the period, the fund's duration
declined from 7.6 years to 6.7 years.
Within the fund's portfolio, we maintained exposure to a broad range of
geographically diversified high quality insured municipal securities. We focused
on AAA-rated municipal bonds with 5- to 13-year maturities during the period.
Our exposure to longer-term bonds (15- to 30-year maturities), which performed
poorly by comparison, was limited to 13% of assets.
During the 12-month period, we maintained a two-part strategy: First, we
focused on premium "cushion" bonds -- high coupon bonds trading at a premium to
face value that can be redeemed prior to maturity. We believe that the extra
yield provided by cushion bonds adequately compensated us for the call feature
in the current environment.
Second, we continued the fund's strong emphasis on call protection.
(Generally a bond is called in by its issuer so that it can be refinanced at a
lower prevailing rate.) Our call-protection strategy provides a more reliable
income stream for the fund than would exist if the portfolio held a significant
proportion of bonds that could be called in before their stated maturities.
OUTLOOK
In terms of the fund's day-to-day strategy, we will continue to seek
competitive returns by purchasing 6- to 13-year bonds over the coming months.
And rather than attempting to make investment decisions based on short-term
interest rate movements, we will search for the most attractively valued bonds
as we seek a high level of tax-free income for our shareholders.

The combination of continued strong growth in the United States and a
resurgence in the economies of Asia and Europe has stoked inflation fears and
prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice in recent months. All
sectors of the bond market performed poorly as a result, but corporate issues
and longer-term bonds, two areas in which we tend to focus, were hit
particularly hard.

FUND PERFORMANCE
Even in this difficult environment, the AARP Bond Fund for Income performed
well versus its peers in the BBB-rated corporate bond category, according to
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., an independent analyst of investment
performance. In returning -0.46% over the 12 months ended September 30, 1999,
the fund beat the -0.99% average for taxable bond funds and finished in the top
35% out of 126 funds in its category. Over the same period, the fund's unmanaged
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned -0.38%. The fund's
return consisted of 6.51% in income distributions and -6.97% capital change, and
its 30-day SEC yield was 7.22%^1 as of the close of the period, versus 6.34% on
March 31, 1999.
THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Our conservative strategy with respect to duration was a key element in the
fund's strong performance. Duration stood at 4.9 years at the end of the period,
below the year ago level of 5.2 years, which helped the fund to avoid the full
impact of the bond market's slump. Going forward, we intend to keep duration in
line with the benchmark until it becomes apparent the Fed is finished raising
rates for this cycle.
Within the corporate sector, we continue to favor bonds issued by companies
with steady, recurring cashflows over those in the so-called "smokestack"
industries. We have emphasized the consumer nondurables

sector, which includes companies such as Safeway and Pepsi Bottling Holdings, as
well as issues in the telecommunications and media sectors, such as Sprint, Time
Warner, and TCI-Communications. While our heavy weighting in bonds issued by
companies with relatively stable cash flows has contributed positively to the
fund's performance over the past two years, such issues generally underperformed
during the worst of the bond market's slump. Nevertheless, we continue to
believe that a focus on quality will benefit the fund over time. Looking ahead,
we intend to focus on A-rated corporate bonds, which we believe to be
undervalued in relation to BBB's.
Outside of the corporate sector, we have begun to look more closely at U.S.
government agency notes, which were poor performers during the third calendar
quarter. We have been gradually building up our position in agencies on the
belief that these securities offer substantial value in relation to other
sectors of the bond market.
OUTLOOK
Our outlook for the fixed income markets is neutral at this time. While we
remain cautious due to the ongoing strength of the U.S. economy, we also believe
that from the standpoint of a long-term investment horizon, the recent slump in
the bond market has produced some interesting opportunities. Going forward, we
will strive to capitalize on the values that have emerged during the
April-September period, and will continue to seek the optimal balance of risk
and return.

Investors have been paying an increasing premium for a shrinking number of
companies with strong current fundamentals and positive earnings momentum, while
punishing companies with improving long-term fundamentals and earnings
shortfalls, despite already depressed valuations. For fixed income investors,
rising interest rates also contributed to declining prices. This environment
proved challenging for the fund's emphasis on undervalued stocks and investment

FUND PERFORMANCE
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 1999, the fund returned 5.84%
while the fund's blended index returned 13.70% for the same period. The fund's
underperformance can be explained primarily by three factors: a lack of exposure
to large-cap growth and technology stocks, an unusually high number of portfolio
companies announcing results significantly below expectations and, in the fixed
income portion of the portfolio, price declines resulting from rising interest
rates.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The stock portion of the fund is managed with a similar investment strategy
to the AARP Growth and Income Fund, which focuses on undervalued stocks. As you
may know, we modified our investment approach on June 30 so that the fund will
not have to rely solely on its high relative yield screen to uncover investment
opportunities. Two other valuation metrics have now been added to the fund's
investment screen -- price/earnings ratios (P/E) and price-to-cash flow ratios
- -- which effectively expand the fund's universe without compromising its
traditional investment objective.
Historically, the fund's discipline has limited its exposure to technology
- -- an area that dramatically outperformed the rest of the stock market over the
period. The sector's unprecedented performance was a substantial limitation for
the fund. Going forward, we expect the fund's enhanced investment screen to
include a greater number of technology companies. One addition we made in the
technology area was Computer Associates, the world's third largest independent
software provider, but we were also able to participate in technology in other
ways, specifically through Corning, the world's leading producer of fiber
optics.
While the fund did benefit from good stock selection in the
telecommunications sector (Bell Atlantic, GTE, and Sprint) and the energy sector
(Elf Aquitaine, Texaco, and Mobil), returns suffered from a few large positions
in companies announcing revenue and/or earnings shortfalls. Some of the most
noteworthy included Avon Products, Xerox, and American Home Products. In each
particular case, we have met with company management, analyzed the problem
areas, and believe that current prices more than reflect revised expectations
for the companies.
For the fixed income portion of the portfolio, we maintained a relatively
conservative strategy. Duration stood at 4.9 years at the end of the period,
below the year ago level of 5.1 years, which helped us avoid the full impact of
the bond market slump. However, our emphasis on corporate bonds and longer-term
bonds hurt performance as rates rose. Nevertheless, we believe that quality
corporate bonds (A-rated or better) are undervalued relative to BBB-rated bonds
and will benefit the portfolio going forward.
OUTLOOK
In contrast to this time last year, the Federal Reserve's policy has
shifted from lowering interest rates to raising rates. Coupled with a likely
decline in trading volume as year-end approaches, we believe this will
exacerbate market volatility. In this environment, we believe that the fund's
broad diversification in undervalued stocks and quality bonds will provide a
valuable buffer for shareholders.

Investors have been paying an increasing premium for a shrinking number of
companies with strong current fundamentals and positive earnings momentum, while
punishing companies with improving long-term fundamentals and earnings
shortfalls, despite already depressed valuations. This environment proved
challenging for the fund's emphasis on stocks with attractive valuations.

FUND PERFORMANCE
For the 12-month fiscal period, the fund's 12.10% return trailed the 27.82%
return of the S&P 500 Index. A portion of the fund's underperformance relative
to the S&P 500 can be explained by the fund's lack of exposure to large-cap
growth and technology stocks, which were strong performers over much of the
period. The remaining underperformance can be attributed to an unusually high
number of portfolio companies announcing results significantly below
expectations, leading to sharp price declines. Longer term, the fund's record of
competitive returns with less risk was in evidence as it maintained an overall
four-star Morningstar Rating(TM) among 3,210 domestic equity funds for its
risk-adjusted performance as of 9/30/99.^1

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Our investment strategy continues to focus on undervalued stocks. As you
may know, we modified our investment approach on June 30 so that the fund will
not have to rely solely on its high relative yield screen to uncover investment
opportunities. Two other valuation metrics have now been added to the fund's
investment screen -- price/earnings ratios (P/E) and price-to-cash flow ratios
- -- which effectively expands the fund's universe without compromising its
traditional investment objective.
In recent years, there has been a fundamental shift in U.S. corporate
policy in favor of share repurchases and the reinvestment of cash flow, rather
than in making regular dividend payments. For instance, 36% of the largest 1000
companies as measured by the Russell 1000 Index currently pay no dividends. In
addition, fully 25% of the companies that comprise the Russell 1000 Value Index
also make no dividend payments. We believe this modification will enable the
fund to increase its exposure on an opportunistic basis to sectors that are
heavily populated by low- or non-dividend-paying securities such as health care
and technology. By broadening the fund's investment universe and sector base, we
also expect that the fund will be able to perform more as an "all weather" fund.
Historically, the fund's discipline has limited its exposure to technology
- -- an area that dramatically outperformed the rest of the stock market. In fact,
the S&P 500 technology sector gained over 70% over the 12-month period while the
overall S&P 500 Index rose 28%. Technology comprises about 20% of the S&P 500
while the fund held approximately 4% in this area. The sector's unprecedented
performance and the fund's relatively small exposure to it was a substantial
limitation on fund performance over the period. Going forward, we expect the
fund's enhanced investment screen to include a greater number of technology
companies.
One addition we made in the technology area was Computer Associates, the
world's third largest independent software provider offering over 500
applications. The company's suite of products provides corporations with a total
solution for various hardware and software platforms. An increase in capital
spending that was diverted in favor of Y2K readiness, the company's recent
acquisition of Platinum Technology, and modest valuation made the company's
shares attractive.
We were also able to participate in technology in other ways, specifically
through Corning, the fund's number one holding at the end of the period.
Corning's top position in the portfolio is both a reflection of the stock's
success (the stock rose 136%) and our conviction in it. We began adding shares
of the stock to the portfolio over a year ago and have

increased our position since then. Corning is the world's leading producer of
fiber optics, a key product for capitalizing on the demand for bandwidth. We are
continuing to see strong demand for fiber optics even with other competing
communication modes. Corning has remained the leader in this field and this
summer won a major contract to supply 80% of a new five million mile fiber optic
network that will connect 17 European nations.
The financial sector constitutes the fund's largest weighting due primarily
to the fact that there are many attractively valued companies in this sector.
However, the fund's exposure to financial companies also held back performance.
This was due primarily to two factors: the negative effects of rising interest
rates and disappointing results from several key holdings. While we believe that
modestly rising interest rates are not necessarily bad for bank stocks (as long
as the Federal Reserve does not embark on an aggressive campaign to fight
inflation by raising rates dramatically), it did not help returns. In
particular, we were disappointed with First Union, which announced a profit
warning relating to the bank's higher than expected Internet banking expenses
and lower than expected synergies from recent acquisitions. While we trimmed our
exposure in the stock, we are maintaining a position based on the bank's strong
East Coast franchise and attractive valuation. We were also disappointed with
Bank One, which reported a 7% decline in current estimates for the year as a
result of slower growth in its credit card operation.
While the fund did benefit from strong stock selection in the
telecommunications sector (Bell Atlantic, GTE, & Sprint) and the energy sector
(Elf Aquitaine, Texaco, and Mobil), returns suffered from a few large positions
in companies announcing revenue and/or earnings shortfalls. Some of the most
noteworthy included Avon Products, which declined on lower revenue caused by
weakness in Latin America and softness in domestic holiday orders; Xerox, which
disappointed us based on intensifying competition, lower than expected revenues,
and currency exposure; and American Home Products, which received an unfavorable
ruling on the Fen-Phen diet drug case.
In each particular case, we have met with the management of each company,
analyzed the problem areas and believe that current prices more than reflect
revised expectations for the companies. In the case of Avon, we purchased more
shares, while with Xerox, we believe the issues will take a few quarters to
resolve. As such, we cut the fund's position of Xerox in half early in October
(after the end of the fiscal reporting period). Going forward, we believe that
these companies should provide significant positive potential from current
levels.
On the sell side we sold out of a number of our cyclical names due to
either valuation or management concerns. Caterpillar, Dow Chemical, and
38
<PAGE>
DuPont were all sold for valuation reasons. While many of the smaller cyclical
names had given back much of their spring valuation bounce, these three
larger-cap names held up nicely. With signs of potential pricing deterioration
in many of their end markets, we decided to side-step the potential stock price
deterioration that might follow.
The portfolio remains positioned to take advantage of our positive outlook
in the energy and finance sectors. In energy, a doubling of world oil prices to
over $20 a barrel, more favorable supply/demand conditions, consolidation, and
cost cutting is encouraging. The finance sector has underperformed in the face
of rising interest rates and some company specific earnings disappointments. In
the banking industry, consolidation has enabled many companies to diversify and
add fee-based revenue streams, which lessens their overall exposure to rising
rates. Insurance companies have suffered from intense competition, poor pricing,
and recent losses related to Hurricane Floyd. Since these trends have
effectively harmed all participants, we expect pricing to improve going forward.
Despite positive fundamentals in the real estate market, real estate investment
trusts (REITs) have been lackluster performers as investors have preferred
larger-cap and more highly valued technology companies.
OUTLOOK
In contrast to this time last year, the Federal Reserve's policy has
shifted 180 degrees. Last year's interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve to
avoid a global financial meltdown has now shifted to two subsequent hikes in
short-term rates and a bias toward raising rates again. We believe this
pronouncement coupled with a likely decline in trading volume as we near
year-end will exacerbate both the market and individual stock volatility. Four
consecutive years of 20%-plus equity returns and a significant disparity between
a few of the largest technology companies and the rest of the stock market will
likely keep overall returns in a fairly tight range.

A small number of large-cap and technology stocks dominated U.S. stock
market performance over most of the 12-month period, contributing to strong
gains for the unmanaged S&P 500 Index and the fund. In the second calendar
quarter, market sentiment shifted briefly toward value and smaller-cap stocks,
only to return to a short list of technology names in the third quarter.

FUND PERFORMANCE
Despite the fact that a limited number of stocks rose over most of the
12-month period that ended September 30, 1999, the fund performed well,
surpassing the return of its benchmark. The fund returned 28.02%, edging out the
27.82% return of the S&P 500 Index for the same period. Among 357 large-cap core
funds, the fund ranked in the top 50% according to Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc., an independent analyst of investment performance.
While the S&P 500's return for the period was well above its long-running
average return, the investment environment began to change in the last three
months of the period. Rising U.S. interest rates and fears of accelerating
inflation contributed to a general decline in stock prices in the third calendar
quarter.
The dominance of large-cap and technology stocks favored many of the stocks
that comprise the S&P 500 Index and the fund's portfolio. Technology led the way
with a price gain of more than 70% for the period. Other sectors also made
strong contributions, including communication services up 49%, health care up
40%, and consumer cyclicals up 29%. The basic materials sector declined 8% and,
despite a near doubling in the price of oil, the energy sector was down 7%.
Financial stocks, which comprise a significant weight in the index, were up only
9% for the 12 months, as some bank stocks were held back by rising interest
rates and earnings disappointments.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The fund's benchmark -- the S&P 500 Index -- is widely regarded as the
standard for measuring large-cap U.S. stock market performance. This popular
index includes a representative sample of leading companies in leading
industries and is used by the majority of U.S. money managers and pension plan
sponsors to evaluate large-cap portfolios.
The fund is designed to track the performance of the unmanaged S&P 500
Index (typically within 1% per year), while offering slightly less downside
risk. The fund seeks to reduce downside risk by adhering to a "yield tilt
strategy." This strategy entails investing in a large majority of the S&P 500
stocks, but gives slightly more weight to stocks paying higher dividends.
Dividend-paying stocks historically have been more stable, especially in periods
of market decline.
The fund's other investment characteristics, such as sector weightings and
average market capitalization, are kept roughly in line with the index. Similar
to the S&P 500 Index, the fund gives more weight to the largest companies. This
strategy benefited the fund over the period, as the largest stocks performed
substantially better than other stocks. In periods when the largest
capitalization stocks are not dominating performance, however, the fund is
likely to underperform relative to funds that do not follow an index-based
strategy.
OUTLOOK
The S&P 500 has achieved a 20%-plus return for four consecutive years, an
unparalleled performance this century. With valuations for large-cap stocks at
historically high levels at period end and growth picking up abroad, we think
investors should be mindful of an ongoing need for diversification that includes
investment in foreign, small-cap, and short-term fixed income securities. While
we believe the fund's investments in many of the largest and strongest companies
will continue to reward shareholders, one should not overlook other
opportunities for diversification.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
In managing the fund, we use a method known as GARP, which stands for
"growth at a reasonable price." We utilize this technique to unearth compelling
values among growth companies, and to gauge when a stock has reached a price
that appears to be excessive in light of its long-term growth prospects. We
believe that good companies that offer superior long-term growth characteristics
are worth more than less reliable companies that are often "cheap" for a reason.
This disciplined methodology has allowed us to participate in some of the
market's biggest winners, and to avoid an inordinate number of negative
surprises.
The fund's substantial position in technology stocks was one of the key
factors behind its strong performance. In our view, one of the most important
themes of recent years has been the convergence of technology and
telecommunications brought about by the explosive growth of the Internet. The
companies at the forefront of this convergence will experience the fastest
growth, which will in turn justify their higher price/earnings ratios. Examples
of stocks in this category that have performed well for us are Sun Microsystems
(up 273% over the 12 months), Corning (136%), EMC (149%), Cisco Systems (122%),
MCI WorldCom (47%), and Lucent Technologies (88%).
In other sectors, we continued to favor media and health care. While both
have endured choppy performance in recent months, we feel that our holdings in
these industries are on track for continued strong earnings growth over time.
Conversely, we have been trimming our positions in retail and financial stocks,
two sectors that we believe will be unable to sustain their current growth
rates.
OUTLOOK
Over the past few years, some investors have underestimated the resilience
of the U.S. economy. As such, we believe it has proven worthwhile to keep a
long-term view and to avoid the temptation to sell when market conditions
deteriorate. While we feel that caution is warranted as long as the threat of
higher interest rates is an issue, we believe that our disciplined investment
style will continue to position the fund for outperformance over time.

FUND PERFORMANCE
Large-cap technology stocks dominated the market averages during most of
AARP Small Company Stock Fund's fiscal year. Over the 12-month period ended
September 30, 1999, the fund posted a 5.70% total return, compared with the
19.07% return of the fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. Since its
inception on February 1, 1997, the fund's average annual return was 7.13%,
compared with the 6.98% return of the Russell 2000 Index.

The fund trailed the performance of its benchmark during its most recent
fiscal year for two related reasons: first, because of the fund's continued
emphasis on stocks with stronger value characteristics, e.g., lower
price/earnings (P/E) or price/book (P/B) ratios. The fund's typical holding has
a P/E of 12x compared with 21x for the Index. Though small-cap value stocks
recovered some ground during the second quarter, this sector had lower overall
returns than small-cap growth stocks in this environment. Second, technology and
communications stocks drove the performance of the Russell 2000 Index during the
period, and the fund's portfolio was underweighted in these sectors because of
our valuation discipline. Under this discipline, which we believe will lead to
strong performance over the long term, the fund is precluded from owning many
technology and communications stocks that are posting negative earnings despite
recent strong performance.
Beyond technology and communications, the fund benefitted from a
significant underweighting in the financial sector. Here our valuation analysis
correctly anticipated the weak performance of finance stocks overall. In
addition, our holdings in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors
outperformed those in the index, contributing positively to the fund's return.
Nevertheless, these positive contributions were insufficient to offset the
shortfall in technology and communications.

+ The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted measure of
approximately 2000 small U.S. stocks. 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 adviser has agreed to maintain
expenses until 1/31/00. If the adviser had not maintained expenses, total
returns would have been lower.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The fund is managed using a set of investment disciplines designed to add
value over the long term. We recognize that this approach will at times be out
of favor with current market trends. However, we resist the temptation to react
to short-term events when we believe the trends are not supported by underlying
company fundamentals. We believe that a consistent and disciplined approach
balancing valuation and future growth prospects will result in better returns
over the long term. Furthermore, our strategy does not focus on picking a few
big winners or sectors, but on building a portfolio with attractive overall
characteristics, including diversification among more than 150 stocks.
OUTLOOK
During the first six months of the period, the fund's valuation discipline
and broad diversification detracted from short-term returns because the largest
market gains were heavily concentrated in just a few high-priced stocks. But
over the long term, as has been demonstrated in the past, we expect the fund's
diversified portfolio of attractively valued stocks to enhance performance and
reduce risk. We consider the recent outperformance of large-cap growth stocks to
be an aberration, and expect that in the future the fund will benefit from
broader market participation in the growing U.S. economy. We believe small-cap
stocks remain an important component of a properly diversified investment
portfolio, offering attractive return potential over the long term.

Over the past year, stock prices have been buoyed by stronger-than-expected
global growth and the acceleration of consolidation activity in Europe and
Japan. However, we believe that the increase in volatility over the summer is
indicative of the fact that in an environment of rising interest rates, the
markets are increasingly susceptible to negative surprises.

FUND PERFORMANCE
For the 12 months ended September 30, 1999, AARP Global Growth Fund
returned 18.36%, which trailed the 29.49% total return of its unmanaged
benchmark, the MSCI World Index. The primary cause for the fund's short-term
underperformance is our tendency to avoid the narrow group of expensive,
high-risk stocks that have led the market for the better part of the past year.
Over the long term, we feel that our approach will add value for shareholders,
particularly if the U.S. bull market begins to cool off. Longer term, the fund
has performed well as evidenced by its overall four-star Morningstar Rating(TM)
for its risk-adjusted performance (among 1,025 international funds as of
September 30, 1999).^1

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
We continue to focus on investment themes that we believe will transcend
the short-term fluctuations of the markets. To that end, we have constructed a
portfolio of companies positioned to capitalize on long-term trends in the
global economy. Most important, we are focused on the role of technology in
society. The Internet enables both businesses and consumers to develop new
markets and leap geographic boundaries. Over time, the Internet has been, and
will continue to be, a powerful driver of falling prices as competition
increases and corporations become more efficient. Our investment themes seek to
achieve balanced exposure to the companies that we believe will successfully
adapt to the shifting global business environment. Accordingly, we have
developed a new theme that we call "Virtuality," in which we look for companies
that are taking advantage of outsourcing opportunities to cut costs. We also are
continuing to build on "The Empowered Consumer" theme, which focuses on
companies that provide consumer-enabling technologies related to the Internet.
We believe that the companies that are building the Internet's infrastructure
and/or creating the content for the new medium, such as AT&T and America Online,
are poised for significant growth in the years ahead.
In keeping with our emphasis on diversification, we are maintaining
significant exposure to stocks that we believe will do well even if the
investment backdrop becomes less favorable. In particular, we are continuing to
develop the theme known as "The Ultimate Subcontractor," which focuses on the
winners of the rationalization process in cyclical industries, and "Secure
Streams of Income," which provides defensive qualities through its exposure to
the leading companies in the rapidly deregulating utility sector.
OUTLOOK
Consistent with our cautious outlook, the themes we have emphasized
recently reflect our goal of constructing a portfolio that will deliver strong
risk-adjusted performance in any environment. Going forward, we intend to keep
the portfolio balanced thematically and positioned for further changes in the
global economy.

Foreign stocks have generally performed well over the past year, but a
focus on higher interest rates in the United States has dampened returns in
recent months. In the overseas markets, restructuring and consolidation activity
are powerful long-term themes that have been, and should continue to be, key
drivers of stock market performance. This continuing trend, supported further by
the nascent economic recoveries in Europe and Japan, remains quite bullish for
the international markets despite the day-to-day turbulence.

Effective July 15, 1999, the investment strategy of the fund was redefined,
resulting in a portfolio repositioning by its new management team. The fund
(which was formerly known as AARP International Growth and Income Fund) now
focuses on stock selection through bottom-up fundamental research, supplemented
by a framework of thematic and country analysis. Through this combination of
bottom-up and top-down disciplines, the fund seeks to invest in companies that
are poised to benefit from the long-term secular changes that are transforming
the global economy. We believe that this approach will allow the fund to
outperform its benchmark in both favorable and unfavorable market conditions,
and maintain lower than average risk characteristics.
FUND PERFORMANCE
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 1999, the fund returned 16.52%,
compared to a return of 30.94% for its unmanaged benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index,
over the same period. While the fund's performance improved following the
adoption of the revised investment strategy, a focus on value stocks over the
first half of the period proved detrimental at a time when a select group of
large-cap growth stocks dominated the market.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Our positioning in Japan concentrates on three types of companies --
potential restructuring candidates, financial stocks that will benefit from the
deregulation now underway in the sector, and companies poised to take advantage
of renewed domestic growth. Currently, some of our favorite names in the
financial sector are Sakura Bank, Fuji Bank, and Daiwa Securities. Domestic
growth star performers included NTT Mobile Communications Network and Fujitsu,
two key Internet players in Japan. We have also found NEC, Hitachi, and Nissan
Motors to be particularly attractive among the restructuring candidates that we
believe will also be beneficiaries of renewed economic activity. In Europe, the
core positioning remains focused on corporate and industrial restructuring. Key
holdings in that area include Siemens, the German industrial conglomerate, and
Elf Aquitaine, the French oil company soon to be merged into its French
competitor Total Fina. We have also built up a position in selected European
cyclicals that we feel are well positioned to take advantage of the rebound in
that region's economy. Two of our larger holdings in this group are BASF, a
German chemicals producer, and Lafarge, a French construction materials company.
OUTLOOK
We remain optimistic that the themes of restructuring and consolidation
will continue to provide a strong underpinning for the foreign markets as the
economic recovery picks up steam. That said, the global stock markets have come
a long way in the 12 months, and may be vulnerable to disappointing earnings or
higher interest rates. Regardless of the short-term fluctuations of the markets,
we will remain focused on adding value for shareholders by investing in
companies that are on the cusp of significant positive changes and expect
foreign markets to offer significant upside potential in the longer term.

THE PORTFOLIOS' INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Portfolios' conservatively managed asset allocation approaches
faced a challenging environment due to their broad diversification at a time
when only a few issues and industry sectors were driving market returns.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ The performance of the blended benchmark is a weighting comprised of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P), and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index. The 30/70 measure of the Diversified Income with Growth Portfolio
and 70/30 measure of the Diversified Growth Portfolio is meant to reflect
the anticipated long-range asset mix of each portfolio, which may change
over time. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted
index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the
broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500
stocks representing all major industries. 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. For certain underlying funds
the adviser has agreed to maintain expenses until 1/31/00. If the adviser
had not maintained expenses, total returns would have been lower.

In the AARP Diversified Income with Growth Portfolio, we increased our
exposure to fixed income funds from 61% to 68% over the period primarily through
the addition of a 7% position in High Quality Short Term Bond Fund. In the
balance of the portfolio, we significantly decreased holdings of High Quality
Money Market Fund in favor of U.S. Stock Index Fund, which rose from 4% to 23%
of assets. This move made a significant contribution to performance during a
period when rising interest rates resulted in declines for most fixed income
securities.
In the AARP Diversified Growth Portfolio, we increased our exposure to
stock funds from 62% to 71% of assets over the period primarily by reducing our
fixed income fund and money market fund holdings. Within the stock fund area, we
significantly increased the Portfolio's exposure to U.S. Stock Index Fund (from
13% to 35% of assets) and Capital Growth Fund (from 4% to 10% of assets) by
reducing holdings in other equity funds. While the Portfolio's holdings of U.S.
Stock Index and Capital Growth funds exceeded the 27.82% return of the S&P 500,
a limited exposure to these funds early in the period and a significant weight
in Growth and Income Fund, which underperformed, held back performance.

OUTLOOK
With economic growth accelerating abroad and interest rates rising in the
United States, we believe the market environment is changing significantly.
While we still believe the U.S. market is healthy, volatility is increasing. It
has been our experience that asset allocation strategies tend to perform well in
this type of environment. Since the investment markets are often characterized
by increased volatility during periods of change, we believe the Portfolio's
diversified approach will provide exposure to opportunities, but with less risk
than a direct investment in a single asset class.

List of investments as of September 30: A detailed
breakdown of the investments in each fund
portfolio at the close of the reporting period.
Principal amount/shares: The face value of a bond
or the shares held by the fund.
Cost: The amount the fund actually paid for the
listed securities.
In addition, the tax-free funds include the credit
ratings (unaudited) for each bond holding. Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Investors Service,
Inc., and Standard & Poor's Corporation -- three
independent rating services -- have developed
credit rating systems that are designed to
indicate a bond issuer's ability to meet its
obligations. For example, bonds with the lowest
risk of default receive a rating of "AAA," while
bonds involving greater risk receive progressively
lower ratings. Bonds rated "BBB" or better are
considered investment grade ("AAA" ratings are
assigned only to bonds with the highest credit
quality).
The Portfolios also show the coupon rates and
maturity dates of the funds' bond holdings. The
coupon rate is the interest rate on a debt
security the bond issuer promises to pay to the
bond holder until maturity. The maturity date is
the date on which a bond issuer is scheduled to
repay the principal to the bond holder.
Market value: The current value of the securities
held in a fund's portfolio.

* Floating rate and monthly, weekly, or daily 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. These securities are shown at their
current rate as of September 30, 1999.
(a) At September 30, 1999, the cost for federal income tax purposes was
$86,949,606.
(b) (Unaudited) Bond is insured by one of these companies: AMBAC, FGIC, FSA,
BIG, or MBIA.

* 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. These securities are shown at their current rate as of
September 30, 1999.
** 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.

Board of Trustees amounted to $14,044,908 (0.23% of net assets). Their
values have been estimated by the Board of Trustees in the absence of
readily ascertainable market values. However, because of the inherent
uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ
significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready
market for the securities existed, and the difference could be
material. The cost of these securities at September 30, 1999 was
$18,250,000. These securities may also have certain restrictions as to
resale.
(c) Restricted Securities are securities which have not been registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933. The aggregate fair value of restricted securities at
September 30, 1999 amounted to $14,044,908, which represents 0.23% of
net assets. Information concerning such restricted securities at
September 30, 1999 is as follows:

The information contained in this section is
legally required by federal securities law and
monitored by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) as it concerns the financial
status of each AARP mutual fund. Mutual funds are
required to deliver financial statements audited
by an independent accounting firm on an annual
basis. The independent accountant of the AARP
Investment Program's annual report is
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
Financial Statements are records of the financial
status of an organization and are prepared by
management. Financial statements must conform to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP),
which are standards established by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the SEC, and
various committees of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
This section consists of three different financial
statements for the funds: Statements of Assets and
Liabilities, Statements of Operations, and
Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The Notes to Financial Statements explain the
significant accounting policies reflected in the
Financial Statements.
137
<PAGE>
STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Statements of Assets and Liabilities show the
net assets of the funds in the AARP Investment
Program.
Examples of assets include such items as:
o Investments at value: The current value of the
AARP fund's holdings on the last day of the
reporting period;
o Cash: The actual amount of the uninvested
assets held in each AARP fund;
o Receivables: Money owed to an AARP fund.
Sources of receivables include:
o Investments sold: Proceeds that the fund
will receive from investments sold which
settle at a later date;
o Fund shares sold: Proceeds that the fund
will receive from shares sold to
shareholders;
o Dividends and interest earned on the funds'
securities but not yet paid to the fund;
o Expense reimbursements due from the fund
manager.
o Daily variation margin on open futures
contracts: Payments due to/from the broker
that reflect the change in value from the
previous day of any futures contract held in
an AARP fund's portfolio (this figure could
show up as an asset or a liability).
Examples of liabilities include amounts owed for
such items as:
o Investments purchased for the AARP fund's
portfolio but that are not yet paid for;
o Fund shares redeemed but not yet paid to
shareholders;
o Dividends declared but not yet paid to
shareholders;
o Management fees incurred but unpaid at fiscal
year end;
o Other accrued expenses incurred but unpaid
at fiscal year end.
The section Net Assets Consist Of includes the
following:
o Undistributed (overdistributed) net investment
income: An AARP fund's accumulated investment
income less expenses and less distributions
paid from net investment income;
o Unrealized appreciation (or depreciation) on
investments: Represents the current value of
investments held less their cost;
138
<PAGE>
o Accumulated net realized capital gain (loss):
An AARP fund's accumulated realized gains and
losses from sales of investments, less
distributions paid from net realized gains;
o Paid-in capital: Represents the dollars
invested by shareholders, less the amount of
money redeemed since the applicable AARP fund
began operations.
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities also shows
the net asset value (NAV) for each AARP fund. Net
asset value is calculated by taking a fund's total
assets, deducting liabilities, and then dividing
this amount by the total number of capital shares
outstanding.
STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
The Statements of Operations include investment
income from interest and dividends and the various
expenses associated with the operation of the AARP
funds for the fiscal period. The Statements of
Operations also show net gains and losses for
various categories of investments, both realized
and unrealized gains and losses, for securities
sold and held in each fund's portfolio. The bottom
line tells you whether a fund's net assets have
increased or decreased as a result of fund
operations.
STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
The Statements of Changes in Net Assets compare
increases and decreases from each AARP fund's
operations and shareholder transactions with those
of the previous fiscal period. Most of the terms
used in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets
are identical to those that are used in the other
two statements. The categories in the section Fund
Share Transactions include:
o Proceeds from the sale of shares: The amount
received by selling new shares to shareholders;
o Net asset value of shares issued due to
reinvested dividends and distributions;
o Cost of shares redeemed (or sold): The amount
paid to shareholders from the exchange or
redemption of shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies.
The following AARP Mutual Funds (the "AARP Funds" or the "Funds") from
Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. ("Scudder Kemper" or the "Fund Manager") are a
series of five entities organized as Massachusetts business trusts and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), as open-end management investment companies (the "Trusts").

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 Funds within
the AARP Managed Investment Portfolios Trust (the "AARP Diversified Portfolios")
invest primarily in existing AARP Mutual Funds from Scudder Kemper (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 Cash Investment Funds and the AARP High
Quality Tax Free Money Fund use the amortized cost method of security valuation
as permitted under Rule 2a-7 under 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 are
no such bid and asked quotations, the most recent bid quotation is used.
Unlisted securities quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq"), for
166
<PAGE>
which there have been sales, are valued at the most recent sale price reported
on Nasdaq. If there are no such sales, the value is the most recent bid
quotation. Unlisted securities which are not quoted on Nasdaq but are traded in
another over-the-counter market are valued at the most recent sale price on such
market. Lacking any sales, the security is valued at the calculated mean
quotation for such security. Lacking a calculated mean, the security is valued
at the most recent bid quotation. If there are no such sales, the value is the
most recent bid quotation.
Portfolio debt securities, other than money market securities, are valued by
pricing agents approved by the Trustees, whose 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.
Money market instruments purchased with an original maturity of sixty 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 with Growth 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 Board of 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
is at least equal to the repurchase price.
C. 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 Short Term Bond Fund, the AARP GNMA and U.S.
Treasury Fund, the AARP Insured Tax Free General Bond Fund, the AARP Bond Fund
for Income and the AARP Balanced Stock and Bond Fund sold interest rate futures
to hedge against declines in the value of portfolio securities, and the AARP
GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund purchased interest rate futures to manage the
duration of the portfolio. Also, during the period, the AARP U.S. Stock Index
Fund purchased index futures as a temporary substitute for purchasing selected
investments.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a
financial intermediary an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value
indicated in the futures contract ("initial margin"). Subsequent payments
("variation margin") are made or received by a 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, a 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 a 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, a
fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price movements in the
hedged positions during the term of the contract.
167
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 applicable Fund if the option is exercised.
During the period, the AARP International Stock Fund wrote call options on
securities as a hedge against potential adverse price movements in the value of
portfolio assets.
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 prices 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.
Municipal, corporate and government securities are frequently offered on a
forward delivery or when-issued basis. At the time a 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. The AARP High Quality Short Term Bond Fund and the
AARP GNMA and U.S. Treasury Fund held when-issued securities during the period.
F. Forward Currency Exchange Contracts. 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 Global Growth Fund utilized forward contracts as a
hedge against changes in exchange rates relating to foreign currency denominated
assets. In addition, the AARP Balanced Stock and Bond Fund, AARP Growth and
Income Fund, AARP Global Growth Fund and AARP International Stock Fund utilized
forward contracts as a hedge in connection with portfolio purchases and sales of
securities denominated in foreign currencies.
168
<PAGE>
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-dividend and payment dates on
dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes.
H. Mortgage Dollar Rolls. Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions in which the
Fund sells mortgage securities for delivery in the current month and
simultaneously contracts to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities on
a fixed date. The Fund receives compensation as consideration for entering into
the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is recorded as deferred income
and amortized to income over the roll period. The counterparty receives all
principal and interest payments, including prepayments, made in respect of the
security while it is the holder. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new
purchase and repurchase price fixed and a cash settlement made at each renewal
without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. During the
period, the AARP GNMA Fund entered into mortgage dollar rolls.
I. 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. In addition, acquisition discount is accreted on securities
purchased with an original maturity of one year or greater for the AARP Bond
Fund for Income. Premiums on securities purchased by the AARP Tax Free Income
Trust are amortized on an effective yield basis over the life of the security.
Distributions of income and capital gains earned by the AARP Diversified Growth
and AARP Diversified Income with Growth 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.
J. 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
169
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
K. 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 Cash Investment Funds and the Funds of the AARP Income
Trust and the AARP Tax Free Income Trust are declared daily and distributed
monthly. Dividends from the AARP Diversified Income with Growth Portfolio, 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 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 and AARP Premium Money Fund may take into account realized
gains and losses on the sales of securities in its daily distributions.
Additional distributions may be made by each Fund if necessary.
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, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) 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 from distributions
during such period. Accordingly, each Fund may periodically make
reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the
net asset value of each Fund.
L. Expenses. Each Fund (except for the AARP Diversified Income with Growth
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 and portions of Trustees' and legal fees, are
allocated among all the Funds.
The AARP Diversified Income with Growth and AARP Diversified Growth
Portfolios (the "Portfolios") have entered into a Special Servicing Agreement
with Scudder Kemper, the Underlying AARP 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 reduction in
shareholder servicing costs due to 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 with Growth and AARP Diversified
Growth Portfolios during the period. For the year ended September 30, 1999, the
Fund Manager paid expenses in the approximated amounts of $135,288 and $169,453,
on behalf of the AARP Diversified Income with Growth and AARP Diversified Growth
Portfolios, respectively. Additionally, the Fund Manager has assumed the
organization costs of each Portfolio.

For the year ended September 30, 1999, the amounts charged to the Underlying
AARP Funds under the Special Servicing Agreement, as shown in the Statement of
Operations as part of the Services to shareholders expense, were as follows:

M. Organization Costs. 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 and initial registration of
shares 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 Premium Money Fund, the AARP Diversified Growth and AARP Diversified Income
with Growth Portfolios.
N. Transactions in Securities of Affiliated Issuers. The AARP Growth and
Income Fund had transactions in securities of affiliated issuers. An affiliated
issuer is a company in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the voting
securities. A summary of the Fund's transactions with companies which are or
were affiliates for the year ended September 30, 1999, is as follows:

</TABLE>
The AARP Diversified Portfolios do not invest in the Underlying AARP Funds
for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments within
the set limits may represent a significant portion of an Underlying AARP Fund's
net assets. At September 30, 1999, the Diversified Income with Growth Portfolio
held 5% or more of the following Underlying AARP Funds' outstanding shares:
approximately 14% of the AARP Bond Fund for Income. The Diversified Growth
Portfolio held 5% or more of the following Underlying AARP Funds' outstanding
shares at September 30, 1999: approximately 19% of the AARP International Stock
Fund; 12% of the AARP Bond Fund for Income; 10% of the AARP Small Company Stock
Fund; 8% of the U.S. Stock Index Fund; and 5% of the AARP Global Growth Fund.
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 with Growth and the 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 with Growth and the Diversified Growth
Portfolios).
171
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Annual Base Fee is calculated as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
.35% of the first $2.0 billion of such .26% of the next $3.0 billion of such assets
assets .25% of the next $3.0 billion of such assets
.33% of the next $2.0 billion of such assets .24% of such assets thereafter
.30% of the next $2.0 billion of such assets
.28% of the next $2.0 billion of such assets
</TABLE>
In addition to the Base Fee, each Fund (excluding the AARP Diversified Income
with Growth and the 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, and 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,
which amounted to $92,000 for the period ended September 30, 1999.
The Individual Fund Fee Rate is calculated at the following percentages of
the average daily net assets of each Fund:
<TABLE>

</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.
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, 2000: AARP Premium Money Fund, 0.50%
of average daily net assets; AARP Bond Fund for Income, 0.25% of average net
assets until January 31, 1999 and 0.50% of average daily net assets thereafter;
AARP U.S. Stock Index Fund, 0.50% of average daily net assets; AARP Small
Company Stock Fund, 1.75% of average daily net assets; and AARP International
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.
The Fund Manager did not impose any or a portion of its Management Fee for
certain Funds during the year ended September 30, 1999, as follows: AARP Premium
Money Fund $211,923; AARP Bond Fund for Income $986,523; AARP U.S. Stock Index
Fund $971,542; and AARP International Stock Fund $249,677.
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 shareholder
communication functions. The amount for each Fund is shown in the table below
and is included in Services to shareholders in the Statements of Operations.
Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a subsidiary of the Fund
Manager, is responsible for determining the daily net asset value per share and
172
<PAGE>
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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
AARP Cash Investment Funds, AARP Income Trust,
AARP Tax Free Income Trust, AARP Growth Trust
and AARP Managed Investment Portfolios Trust:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the lists of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the series constituting AARP Cash Investment Funds, AARP Income
Trust, AARP Tax Free Income Trust, AARP Growth Trust and AARP Managed
Investment Portfolios Trust (hereafter referred to as the "Trusts") at
September 30, 1999, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated therein, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Trusts' management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September
30, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

INVESTOR SERVICES
AARP AUTOMATIC Take advantage of dollar cost averaging -- a simple,
INVESTMENT PLAN systematic approach to managing risk. By investing a
specific amount of money in one or more of the AARP
Mutual Funds from Scudder on a regular basis (usually
monthly), you can potentially reduce your average cost
per share. By purchasing shares at different prices
over time, dollar cost averaging can offer the
potential for a lower cost per share. You can begin
your Automatic Investment Plan with as little as $50
per month.
AARP LUMP SUM If you need assistance in determining your options for
SERVICE a lump sum payment from a retirement plan or life
insurance policy, we can help. You can work directly
with a trained AARP Retirement Plan Specialist who can
explain the options, including the tax implications and
investment options. We can also assist you with
expediting your lump sum distribution.
AARP INVESTMENT The AARP Web site -- aarp.scudder.com -- provides
PROGRAM WEB SITE timely information on a variety of issues to help
investors prepare for life's financial eventualities.
The site includes general information on the financial
markets and investing, quarterly market outlooks, AARP
fund updates, and interactive tools to help you plan
for retirement and invest in retirement. The site
features our new Financial Library -- a series of
online guides designed to address specific issues
facing investors over 50. You can also view your
account, make fund exchanges, and submit questions and
comments directly to Program representatives through
the site.
AARP LEGACY The Legacy Service was developed to help shareholders
SERVICE feel confident that their investments will pass to
their spouse or heirs the way they intended. The
Service consists of two parts: the Legacy Planner, an
informational guide which provides suggestions for
organizing your financial affairs, and the Legacy
Transfer Guide, a service available to families who
have recently experienced a death, which is intended to
help family members understand and protect their
inheritance.
FINANCIAL LIBRARY In 1999 we launched a major new investor education
effort-- the AARP Investment Program Financial Library.
The Library is a collection of objective investment
education guides designed to address specific issues
facing investors over 50. The four- to six-page guides
are written in plain English and contain tools and
resources to help shareholders solve specific problems.
Topics for most of these guides came from years of
fielding questions from AARP Investment Program
shareholders. The guides cover such topics as "Seven
Steps Toward Planning for Retirement," "Investing IRA
Distributions to Meet Your Needs and Goals," and
"Planning Ahead for the Asset Transfers When a Death
Occurs." For a list of topics, see the Special Section
devoted to the Financial Library on page 7 or,
since new guides are being added continuously, visit
our Web site at aarp.scudder.com for the most
up-to-date list. If you do not have access to the
Internet, you can call us to request up to three guides
through the mail.

GLOSSARY
Terms in bold italics throughout the report are
defined here.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES Bonds or notes backed by loan paper or accounts
receivable originated by banks, credit card
companies, or other providers of credit and often
"enhanced" by a bank Letter of Credit or by insurance
coverage provided by an institution other than the
issuer.
COUPON The interest rate on a bond the issuer (in the case
of mortgage-backed securities, the government)
promises to pay to the holder of the bond until
maturity expressed as an annual percentage of face
value. As an example, a bond with a 10% coupon would
pay $100 on $1,000 of the face amount each year.
Traditionally bond certificates were issued with
"coupons" representing the dividend payment that
would be detached and mailed to the custodian bank
for payment.
CREDIT RISK The likelihood of a bond issuer to make timely
principal and interest payments. Treasury notes and
bonds have virtually no credit risk because the
securities are backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. government. In contrast, high yield bonds
("junk bonds"), which have low credit ratings, have a
significant amount of credit risk because of a higher
likelihood of default.
CYCLICAL/NON-CYCLICAL A cyclical stock tends to rise quickly when the
economy turns up and to fall quickly when the economy
turns down. Examples include companies in the auto,
cement, housing, machinery, paper, and steel
industries. A non-cyclical stock is less affected by
the economy and includes those companies in the food
and pharmaceutical industries.
DURATION A mathematical calculation of the average life of a
bond (or bonds in a bond fund) that serves as a
useful measure of 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 decline 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.
FUNDAMENTALS/ Analysis of companies based on the projected impact
FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH of management, products, sales, and earnings on their
balance sheets and income statements. Fundamental
research is distinct from technical analysis, which
evaluates the attractiveness of a stock based on
historical price and trading volume movements.
GROWTH STOCK Stock of a company that has displayed above-average
earnings growth and is expected to continue to
increase profits rapidly going forward. Stocks of
such companies usually trade at higher price earnings
multiples (see price/earnings ratio) and experience
more price volatility than the market as a whole.
Distinct from value stock.

LIQUIDITY A characteristic of an investment or an asset
referring to the ease of convertibility into cash
within a reasonably short period of time.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION The market value of a company's outstanding shares of
(LARGE-CAP/SMALL-CAP) common stock, determined by multiplying the number of
shares outstanding by the share price (shares x price
= market capitalization). The universe of publicly
traded companies is frequently divided into large-,
mid-, and small-capitalization. Large-cap stocks tend
to be more liquid than small-cap stocks.
MATURITY The date when an issuer must pay the face amount of
the bond to the bondholder. An investor who buys
$10,000 worth of 10-year bonds will receive $10,000
at the end of 10 years, after receiving interest
(coupon) payments over the 10-year period.
PREPAYMENT RISK The possibility that, as interest rates fall,
homeowners will refinance their home mortgages,
resulting in the prepayment of mortgage securities.
PRICE/EARNINGS RATIO The price of a stock divided by its earnings per
share, also known as price/earnings multiple (P/E). A
widely used gauge of a stock's valuation that
indicates what investors are paying for a company's
earning power at the current stock price. A
relatively high price/earnings multiple indicates
higher expected earnings growth, along with greater
risk of earnings disappointment.
TOP-DOWN STRATEGY A method in which the investor first looks at trends
in the general economy or, in the case of
international investing, the economies of several
countries, and next selects companies or industries
that stand to benefit from those trends. The opposite
of bottom-up investing.
VALUE STOCK A company whose stock price does not fully reflect
its intrinsic value, as indicated by its
price/earnings ratio, price/book value ratio,
dividend yield, or some other valuation measure,
relative to its industry or the market overall. Value
stocks tend to display less price volatility and may
carry higher dividend yields than growth stocks.
YIELD SPREAD The difference in yield between two types of bonds. A
mortgage-backed security's yield is often measured
against the yield of a Treasury bond of similar
maturity. If GNMA yield spreads are "narrow," for
example, it typically means that GNMA yields have
been declining (and prices rising), compared with
Treasury bonds of similar maturity.

THE EXPENSE OF PUBLISHING THIS REPORT
Some AARP fund shareholders have inquired about the expense of publishing
this report. While the report is legally required by federal securities law
and monitored by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the AARP
Investment Program from Scudder also seeks to provide shareholders with
meaningful information that is easy to use.
In seeking this objective, we continually incorporate feedback from AARP
members. We go to great lengths to explain the investment markets and fund
performance in a way that is insightful and understandable. We also have
attempted to make this report more readable than other financial reports by
using larger typefaces, effective color contrasts, and "white space"
whenever possible.
To control costs, we have undertaken several initiatives. We produce one
combined report, which we have determined is less expensive than producing
16 individual reports. We obtain a lower price for the paper this report is
printed on by combining our paper needs with that of other Scudder Kemper
Investments divisions for aggregate purchases of over two million pounds
annually. While the number of AARP funds has doubled from two years ago,
the cost of producing this report has dropped from $0.008 per page in 1997
to $0.006 per page in 1999.
We also are mindful of the number of copies we mail to shareholders and
attempt to send only one copy to the same address whenever possible. This
has resulted in a 53% decrease in the total number of reports mailed
compared to mailing one report to each AARP shareholder account.
Through these and other efforts we are able to keep the cost of producing
this report to 98 cents per copy.
Our cost-conscious approach to producing this report reflects our overall
attention to fund expenses and to providing attractive value to
shareholders.
The paper used for the cover and internal pages of this report
incorporates recycled corrugated containers. The "Crystal
Recycling Process" which created this paper saved four and
one-half truckloads of boxes from going to landfills. When you
are finished with this report, please continue the process and
recycle it.
