                                    Summary

The Company                         Scudder Institutional Fund, Inc. is a
                                    professionally managed, no-load, open-end,
                                    diversified investment company which offers
                                    the following four investment series:
                                    Institutional Government Portfolio (the
                                    "Government Portfolio"), Institutional
                                    Federal Portfolio (the "Federal Portfolio"),
                                    Institutional Cash Portfolio (the "Cash
                                    Portfolio") and Institutional Tax-Free
                                    Portfolio (the "Tax-Free Portfolio"), (each,
                                    a "Portfolio" and collectively, the
                                    "Portfolios") See "Company Organization."

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

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

                                    The Federal Portfolio invests in obligations
                                    issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  Government
                                    or its  agencies or  instrumentalities.  The
                                    Portfolio  seeks to attain the  objective of
                                    as  high a  level  of  current  income  that
                                    cannot be subjected to state or local income
                                    tax  by   reason  of   federal   law  as  is


                                       2

                                    consistent  with its other stated  policies.
                                    Income from the Federal Portfolio may not be
                                    exempt from certain state and local taxes.

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

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

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

                                    below certain levels or if the account does
                                    not have a certified Social Security or

                              Expense Information



 This  information is designed to help an investor  understand the various costs
 and expenses of investing in Government Portfolio and Federal Portfolio.

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

2)   Annual Portfolio  Operating Expenses (after expense  maintenance,  if any):
     Expenses  paid by a  Portfolio  before it  distributed  its net  investment
     income,  expressed as a percentage  of that  Portfolio's  average daily net
     assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.

 Example

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

One year                                                   $ 3               $ 7
Three years                                                  9                22
Five years                                                  16                39

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

   
 *   For the period January 20, 1995 to June 30, 1995, the Adviser has agreed
     to maintain the total annualized expenses of the Portfolio at no more than
     0.70% of average daily net assets. If the Adviser had not agreed to
     maintain the Portfolio's expenses, the total annualized expenses of the
     Portfolio expenses would have been 0.77% (of which 0.15% would have
     consisted of investment management fees) for the fiscal year ended December
     31, 1994.

                       Investment Objectives and Policies

      Set forth below is a description of the investment  objective and policies
of each Portfolio. The Portfolios seek to provide investors with as high a level
of current income through investment in high-quality  short-term  obligations as
is  consistent   with  their   investment   objectives  and  policies  and  with
preservation  of capital and liquidity.  The Federal  Portfolio seeks to provide
current  income that cannot be  subjected  to state and local taxes by reason of
federal law, and the Tax-Free  Portfolio seeks to provide current income that is
exempt from federal income taxes. The investment objective of a Portfolio cannot
be changed  without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Portfolio's
outstanding  shares, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act")  and a  rule  thereunder.  There  can  be no  assurance  that  any  of the
Portfolios will achieve its investment objective.

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

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

Government Portfolio

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

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

Federal Portfolio

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

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

Cash Portfolio

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

      The bank obligations in which the Portfolio may invest include  negotiable
certificates  of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances,  fixed time  deposits or other
short-term bank  obligations.  The Portfolio limits its investments in U.S. bank
obligations  to  obligations  of U.S. banks  (including  foreign  branches,  the
obligations  of which are  guaranteed by the U.S.  parent) that have at least $1
billion  in  total  assets  at the  time of  investment.  "U.S.  banks"  include



                                       11
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

      The Portfolio may invest in non-convertible corporate debt securities such
as notes,  bonds and debentures that have remaining  maturities of not more than
397 days and that are rated  "Aa" or better by  Moody's or "AA" or better by S&P
or Fitch,  and variable  amount master demand  notes.  A variable  amount master
demand note differs from ordinary commercial paper in that it is issued pursuant
to a written  agreement  between the issuer and the holder.  Its amount may from
time to time be  increased  by the  holder  (subject  to an agreed  maximum)  or
decreased  by the holder or the  issuer  and is  payable on demand.  The rate of
interest varies  pursuant to an agreed-upon  formula.  Generally,  master demand
notes are not rated by a rating agency.  However,  the Portfolio may invest in a
master  demand note that,  if not rated,  is in the opinion of the Adviser of an
investment  quality  comparable  to rated  securities in which the Portfolio may
invest.  The Adviser monitors the issuers of such master demand notes on a daily
basis.  Transfer of such notes is usually restricted by the issuer, and there is


                                       12
<PAGE>

no secondary  trading  market for such notes.  The Portfolio may not invest in a
master demand note if, as a result,  more than 10% of the value of its total net
assets would be invested in such notes.

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

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

Tax-Free Portfolio

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

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

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

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

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

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

             Additional Information About Policies and Investments

Investment Restrictions

      The following investment restrictions and those described in the Statement
of Additional Information are fundamental policies of each Portfolio that may be
changed only when  permitted by law and approved by the holders of a majority of


                                       13
<PAGE>

such  Portfolio's  outstanding  voting  securities,  as described under "Company
Organization" in the Statement of Additional Information.

      The Portfolios may not issue senior securities,  borrow money or pledge or
mortgage  their assets,  except that each  Portfolio may borrow from banks up to
10% of the current value of that  Portfolio's  total net assets in order to meet
redemptions, and these borrowings may be secured by pledges of not more than 10%
of the  Portfolio's  total net assets (but  investments  may not be purchased by
such Portfolio while any such borrowing exists).  Generally,  the Cash Portfolio
may not invest  less than 25% of the current  value of its total  assets in bank
obligations, including bank obligations subject to repurchase agreements.

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

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

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

      The  floating  and  variable  rate  obligations  that the  Portfolios  may
purchase include  certificates of  participation  in such obligations  purchased
from banks.  A  certificate  of  participation  gives the Portfolio an undivided
interest in the underlying  obligations in the proportion that such  Portfolio's
interest bears to the total  principal  amount of such  obligations.  Certain of
such  certificates of participation may carry a demand feature that would permit
the holder to tender them back to the issuer prior to maturity.  The  Portfolios
may invest in certificates of participation  even if the underlying  obligations
carry stated  maturities  in excess of one year,  upon  compliance  with certain
conditions  contained in a rule of the SEC. The income  received on certificates
of participation in tax-exempt municipal  obligations  constitutes interest from
tax-exempt obligations. It is presently contemplated that the Tax-Free Portfolio
will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in these certificates.



                                       14
<PAGE>

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

      Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements
wherein  the seller of a security to the  Portfolio  agrees to  repurchase  that
security from the Portfolio at a mutually agreed-upon time and price. Sellers of
repurchase  agreements  are banks that are issuers of eligible bank  obligations
(see "Cash  Portfolio"  under  "Investment  Objectives and Policies"  above) and
dealers that meet guidelines  established by the Board of Directors.  The period
of maturity is usually quite short,  often overnight or a few days,  although it
may extend over a number of months.  Each  Portfolio  may enter into  repurchase
agreements only with respect to obligations that could otherwise be purchased by
the Portfolio.  While the maturities of the underlying securities may be greater
than one year,  the term of the  repurchase  agreement  is always  less than one
year.  If the seller  defaults and the value of the  underlying  securities  has
declined, the Portfolio may incur a loss. In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings
are  commenced  with  respect to the  seller of the  security,  the  Portfolio's
disposition of the security may be delayed or limited.

      A Portfolio  may not enter into a  repurchase  agreement  if, as a result,
more than 10% of the market value of that Portfolio's  total net assets would be
invested  in  repurchase  agreements  with a maturity  of more than seven  days,
illiquid  securities and securities for which current market  quotations or bids
are not readily available.

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Securities with Put Rights. The Portfolios may enter into put transactions
with  respect  to  obligations  held in  their  portfolios  with  broker/dealers
pursuant to a rule under the 1940 Act and with commercial banks.


                                       15
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

                    Distribution and Performance Information

Dividends and Capital Gains Distributions

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

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

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

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

Taxes

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

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


                                       17
<PAGE>
described  above,  in the  case of the  dividends  distributed  by the  Tax-Free
Portfolio,  that  part of its net  investment  income  that is  attributable  to
interest from tax-exempt securities and that is distributed to shareholders will
be designated  by the Company as an  "exempt-interest  dividend,"  and, as such,
will be exempt from federal  income tax.  Income from the Federal  Portfolio and
Tax-Free Portfolio may not be exempt from certain state and local taxes.

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

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

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

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

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

Performance Information

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


                                       18
<PAGE>

upon,  among  other  things,  changes  in market  conditions  and the level of a
Portfolio's expenses.

                              Company Organization

      The Company was formed on January 2, 1986 as a corporation  under the laws
of the State of  Maryland.  The  Company  is a  no-load,  diversified,  open-end
management  investment  company  registered  under the 1940 Act.  The  Company's
activities  are  supervised by its Board of  Directors.  The Board of Directors,
under  applicable laws of the State of Maryland,  in addition to supervising the
actions of the Company's  Adviser and Distributor,  as set forth below,  decides
upon matters of general policy.

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

Investment Adviser

    The Company  retains the investment  management  firm of Scudder,  Stevens &
Clark,  Inc. (the "Adviser"),  a Delaware  corporation,  to manage the Company's
daily investment and business affairs subject to the policies established by the
Board  of  Directors.  The  Adviser  is one of the most  experienced  investment
counsel firms in the U.S. The Adviser was  established  in 1919 as a partnership
and was restructured as a Delaware  corporation in 1985. The principal source of
the Adviser's  income is  professional  fees received from providing  continuing
investment advice. The Adviser provides  investment counsel for many individuals
and  institutions,   including  insurance  companies,   endowments,   industrial
corporations and financial and banking  organizations.  As of December 31, 1994,
the  Adviser  and its  affiliates  had in  excess  of $90  billion  under  their
supervision,  approximately  two-thirds  of which was  invested in  fixed-income
securities.

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

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

     Each Portfolio is charged a management fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of
its average daily net assets. Management fees are computed daily and paid
monthly.

Transfer Agent

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


                                       19
<PAGE>

Distributor

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

Custodian

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

Purchasing Shares

      There is a $10 million minimum initial  investment in the Company,  with a
minimum investment in any single Portfolio of $2 million. Subsequent investments
may be made in the Portfolios in any amount.  Investment  minimums may be waived
for  Directors  and officers of the Company and certain  other  affiliates.  The
Company and the Distributor  reserve the right to reject any purchase order. All
funds will be invested in full and fractional shares.

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

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

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

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

Initial Purchase by Wire

      1.  Shareholders  may  open an  account  by  calling  toll  free  from any
continental  state:  1-800-854-8525.  Give the  Portfolio(s)  to be invested in,

Redeeming Shares

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

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

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

      The Company reserves the right to redeem  involuntarily upon not less than
30 days' written notice all shares in a shareholder's  Portfolio accounts if the
combined  holdings in those accounts  aggregate less than $10 million.  However,
any  shareholder  affected by the  exercise of the right will be allowed to make
additional  investments  prior  to  the  date  fixed  for  redemption  to  avoid
liquidation of a Portfolio account or accounts.

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

Redemption by Mail

      1. Write a letter of instruction.  Indicate the dollar amount or number of
shares to be redeemed.  Refer to the shareholder's  Portfolio account number and
give Social Security or taxpayer identification number (where applicable).
     2. Sign the letter in exactly the same way the account is registered. If
there is more than one owner of the shares, all must sign.
      3. If  shares  to be  redeemed  have a  value  of  $50,000  or  more,  the
signature(s)  must be  guaranteed  by a commercial  bank that is a member of the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  a trust  company,  a member firm of a
domestic  stock  exchange  or a  foreign  branch  of any of  the  foregoing.  In
addition, signatures may be guaranteed by other Eligible Guarantor Institutions,
i.e., other banks, other brokers and dealers,  municipal  securities brokers and
dealers,  government  securities  brokers and dealers,  credit unions,  national
securities exchanges, registered securities associations,  clearing agencies and
savings  associations.  The  Transfer  Agent,  however,  may  reject  redemption
instructions  if the  guarantor  is neither a member of nor a  participant  in a
signature guarantee program (currently known as "STAMPsm"). Signature guarantees
by notaries public are not acceptable. Further documentation,  such as copies of
corporate  resolutions  and  instruments  of  authority,  may be requested  from
corporations,  administrators,  executors, personal representatives, trustees or
custodians  to  evidence  the  authority  of the  person  or entity  making  the
redemption request.
     4. Mail the letter to the Transfer Agent at the address set forth under
"Purchasing Shares."

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

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

Redemption by Expedited Redemption Service

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

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

     1. Telephone the request to the Transfer Agent by calling toll free from
any continental state: 1-800-854-8525, or
     2. Mail the request to the Transfer Agent at the address set forth under
"Purchasing Shares."

      Proceeds of Expedited  Redemptions will be wired to the shareholder's bank
indicated in the Purchase  Application.  If an Expedited  Redemption  request is
received  by the  Transfer  Agent by 12:00  Noon  (New  York  time) on a day the
Company and the Custodian are open for business, the redemption proceeds will be
transmitted to the shareholder's  bank that same day. Such expedited  redemption
requests  received  after 12:00 Noon and prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) will
be honored the same day if such  redemption can be  accomplished in time to meet
the Federal Reserve Wire System schedules.

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

Exchanging Shares

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

      A  shareholder  may exchange  shares by calling the Transfer  Agent's toll
free number at 1-800-854-8525 by 4:00 P.M. (New York time).

      Procedures  applicable  to  redemption  of a  Portfolio's  shares are also
applicable to exchanging  shares.  The Company and the Distributor may modify or
discontinue exchange privileges at any time upon 60 days' notice.

Share Price

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

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

                              Shareholder Benefits

Account Services

      Shareholders will be sent a Statement of Account from the Distributor,  as
agent of the Company,  whenever a share transaction is effected in the accounts.
Shareholders  can write or call the Company at the address and telephone  number
on the cover of this Prospectus with any questions  relating to their investment
in shares of any of the Portfolios.

Shareholder Services

      The Company offers the following shareholder  services.  See the Statement
of Additional  Information  for further  details about these services or call or

      Special  Monthly  Summary of Accounts.  A special  service is available to
banks,  brokers,  investment  advisers,  trust  companies  and others who have a
number  of  accounts  in one or more of the  Portfolios.  A monthly  summary  of
accounts  can be  provided,  showing for each  account the account  number,  the
month-end  share  balance and the dividends  and  distributions  paid during the
month.

      Shareholder Reports. The fiscal year of the Company ends on December 31 of
each year. The Company sends to its shareholders, semi-annually, reports showing
the  investments  in each of the  Company's  Portfolios  and  other  information
(including unaudited financial statements)  pertaining to the Company. An annual
report,  containing  financial  statements audited by the Company's  independent
accountants, is sent to shareholders each year.

Inc., 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154.

                       THE PORTFOLIOS AND THEIR OBJECTIVES

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

General Investment Objectives and Policies

         Institutional    Government   Portfolio    ("Government    Portfolio"),
Institutional  Federal  Portfolio  ("Federal  Portfolio"),   Institutional  Cash
Portfolio ("Cash  Portfolio") and Institutional  Tax-Free  Portfolio  ("Tax-Free
Portfolio") (collectively, the "Portfolios") are series of Scudder Institutional
Fund, Inc. (the "Company"), a no-load, open-end, diversified, investment company
designed to suit the needs of institutions,  corporations  and fiduciaries.  The
Portfolios are money market funds that seek to provide  investors with as high a
level of current income as is consistent  with their  investment  objectives and
policies and with  preservation  of capital and liquidity.  Set forth below is a
description  of the  investment  objective and policies of each  Portfolio.  The
Federal  Portfolio  seeks to provide  current income that cannot be subjected to
state and local taxes by reason of federal law, and the Tax-Free Portfolio seeks
to  provide  current  income  that is exempt  from  federal  income  taxes.  The
investment  objective of a Portfolio  cannot be changed  without the approval of
the holders of a majority of the Portfolio's  outstanding  shares, as defined in
the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940 ( the "1940  Act") and a rule  thereunder.
There can be no assurance that any of the Portfolios will achieve its investment
objective.

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

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

Government Portfolio

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

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

Federal Portfolio

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

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

Cash Portfolio

         The Cash Portfolio  seeks to provide  investors with as high a level of
current  income  as  is  consistent  with  its  investment   policies  and  with
preservation of capital and liquidity.  The Portfolio  invests  exclusively in a
broad  range  of  short-term  money  market   instruments  that  have  remaining
maturities of not more than 397 days and certain  repurchase  agreements.  These
securities consist of obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or
its agencies or instrumentalities, taxable and tax-exempt municipal obligations,
corporate and bank obligations,  certificates of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances
and variable  amount master demand notes.  
<PAGE> 
         The  bank  obligations  in  which  the  Portfolio  may  invest  include
negotiable certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, fixed time deposits or
other short-term bank obligations.  The Portfolio limits its investments in U.S.
bank obligations to obligations of U.S. banks (including  foreign branches,  the
obligations  of which are  guaranteed by the U.S.  parent) that have at least $1
billion  in  total  assets  at the  time of  investment.  "U.S.  banks"  include
commercial  banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or are examined
by the  Comptroller of the Currency or whose deposits are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.  In addition, the Portfolio may invest in savings
banks and savings and loan associations insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation  that have  total  assets in excess of $1 billion at the time of the
investment.  The Portfolio limits its investments in foreign bank obligations to
U.S.  dollar-denominated  obligations of foreign banks (including U.S. branches)
which banks (based upon their most recent annual  financial  statements)  at the
time of investment  (i) have more than $10 billion,  or the  equivalent in other
currencies,  in total assets;  (ii) are among the 100 largest banks in the world
as determined on the basis of assets; and (iii) have branches or agencies in the
U.S.; and which obligations, in the opinion of the Adviser, are of an investment
quality  comparable  to  obligations  of U.S.  banks in which the  Portfolio may
invest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

         The Portfolio may invest in  non-convertible  corporate debt securities
such as notes,  bonds and debentures that have remaining  maturities of not more
than 397 days and that are rated  "Aa" or better by Moody's or "AA" or better by
S&P or Fitch,  and variable amount master demand notes. A variable amount master
demand note differs from ordinary commercial paper in that it is issued pursuant
to a written  agreement  between the issuer and the holder.  Its amount may from
time to time be  increased  by the  holder  (subject  to an agreed  maximum)  or
decreased  by the holder or the  issuer  and is  payable on demand.  The rate of
interest varies pursuant to an agreed-upon formula. Generally, master demand


                                       2
<PAGE>
notes are not rated by a rating agency.  However,  the Portfolio may invest in a
master  demand note that,  if not rated,  is in the opinion of the Adviser of an
investment  quality  comparable  to rated  securities in which the Portfolio may
invest.  The Adviser monitors the issuers of such master demand notes on a daily
basis.  Transfer of such notes is usually restricted by the issuer, and there is
no secondary  trading  market for such notes.  The Portfolio may not invest in a
master demand note if, as a result,  more than 10% of the value of its total net
assets would be invested in such notes.

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

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

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

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

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

Tax-Free Portfolio

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

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

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

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

         Municipal  commercial paper is a debt obligation with a stated maturity
of 270 days or less that is issued to finance  seasonal working capital needs or
as short-term  financing in anticipation of longer-term  debt. The Portfolio may
invest in municipal commercial paper that is rated at the date of purchase "P-1"
by Moody's, "A-1" or "A-1+" by S&P or "F-1" by Fitch.

         If a municipal  obligation is not rated, the Portfolio may purchase the
obligation  if, in the  opinion  of the  Adviser,  it is of  investment  quality
comparable to other rated investments that are permitted in the Portfolio.  From
time to time the  Portfolio  may invest 25% or more of the current  value of its
total  assets in  municipal  obligations  that are related in such a way that an
economic,  business  or  political  development  or  change  affecting  one such
obligation would also affect the other obligations. For example, certain


                                       3
<PAGE>
municipal obligations accrue interest that is paid from revenues of similar type
projects; other municipal obligations have issuers located in the same state.

         The floating and variable rate municipal obligations that the Portfolio
may purchase include certificates of participation in such obligations purchased
from banks.  A  certificate  of  participation  gives the Portfolio an undivided
interest in the  underlying  municipal  obligations,  usually  private  activity
bonds,  in the  proportion  that the  Portfolio's  interest  bears to the  total
principal amount of such municipal obligations.  Certain of such certificates of
participation  may carry a demand feature that would permit the holder to tender
them  back to the  issuer  prior  to  maturity.  The  Portfolio  may  invest  in
certificates of participation even if the underlying municipal obligations carry
stated  maturities in excess of one year, if compliance with certain  conditions
contained in a rule of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC") is
met. The income received on certificates of participation  constitutes  interest
from tax-exempt  obligations.  It is presently  contemplated  that the Portfolio
will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in these certificates.

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

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

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

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

Investment Restrictions

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

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

                  (1)  Issue  senior  securities,  borrow  money  or  pledge  or
         mortgage the assets of any of its Portfolios.  However,  each Portfolio
         may  borrow  from  banks  up to  10%  of  the  current  value  of  that
         Portfolio's  total net assets for  temporary  purposes only in order to
         meet redemptions,  and these borrowings may be secured by the pledge of
         not more than 10% of the  current  value of the  Portfolio's  total net
         assets.  Purchases of  investments  by the  Portfolio  will not be made
         while any such borrowing exists.

                  (2) Make  loans.  The  purchase  or holding of a portion of an
         issue of publicly distributed debt obligations,  the making of deposits
         with banks,  and the  entering  into  repurchase  agreements  shall not
         constitute  the making of a loan.  The  Company  may also engage in the
         practice of lending its portfolio securities.


                                       4
<PAGE>
                  (3) Invest an amount equal to 10% or more of the current value
         of the  particular  Portfolio's  total  assets in illiquid  securities,
         restricted  securities,  investments that do not have readily available
         market quotations and repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven
         days.

                  (4) Act as an  underwriter  of  securities.  The purchase of a
         permitted  investment  directly  from the  issuer  thereof,  or from an
         underwriter for an issuer, and the later disposition of such securities
         in  accordance  with a  Portfolio's  investment  program,  shall not be
         deemed an underwriting.

                  (5)  Purchase or sell real  estate,  commodities  or commodity
         contracts.  This  limitation  shall not apply to securities  secured by
         real estate or interests  therein or issued by persons who deal in real
         estate or interests therein.

                  (6)  Purchase  securities  on  margin or make  short  sales of
         securities.  This  limitation  shall  not apply to  short-term  credits
         necessary for the clearance of transactions.

                  (7) Write,  purchase  or sell  puts,  calls,  warrants  or any
         combination  thereof,  except  that the  Portfolios  may enter into put
         transactions  in  order  to  maintain  liquidity,  as  described  under
         "Additional Permitted Investment Activities".

                  (8) Purchase equity securities or securities  convertible into
         equity securities.

                  (9)  Purchase  securities  that must be  registered  under the
         Securities  Act of  1933  before  they  may be  offered  or sold to the
         public.

                  (10) Purchase any securities that would cause more than 25% of
         the value of any individual  Portfolio's total assets to be invested in
         securities of issuers in the same  industry,  except banks as described
         in paragraph  11. This  limitation  shall not apply to  investments  in
         obligations of the U.S. Government,  its agencies or instrumentalities.
         Notwithstanding   the  provisions  of  this  paragraph,   the  Tax-Free
         Portfolio  shall not be  limited  with  respect to  investments  in (i)
         municipal   obligations  (not  including  industrial   development  and
         pollution  control  bonds if the payment of  principal  and interest on
         such bonds is the ultimate responsibility of non-governmental users) or
         (ii) negotiable  certificates of deposit or bankers'  acceptances  that
         are purchased on a temporary basis or for defensive purposes.

                  (11) The Cash  Portfolio  may not invest  less than 25% of the
         current value of its total assets in bank  obligations  (including bank
         obligations subject to repurchase agreements), provided that if at some
         future  date  adverse  economic   conditions  prevail  in  the  banking
         industry, the Portfolio, for defensive purposes, may invest temporarily
         less than 25% of its assets in bank obligations.

         Whenever any investment  restriction  states a maximum  percentage of a
Portfolio's  assets, it is intended that if the percentage  limitation is met at
the time the  action is taken,  subsequent  percentage  changes  resulting  from
fluctuating   asset   values  will  not  be   considered  a  violation  of  such
restrictions.

                   ADDITIONAL PERMITTED INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

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



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

         TANs An uncertainty in a municipal  issuer's capacity to raise taxes as
         a  result  of such  things  as a  decline  in its tax base or a rise in
         delinquencies  could adversely  affect the issuer's ability to meet its


                                       5
<PAGE>
         obligations on outstanding  TANs.  Furthermore,  some municipal issuers
         mix  various  tax  proceeds  into a  general  fund that is used to meet
         obligations  other than those of the  outstanding  TANs.  Use of such a
         general fund to meet various obligations could affect the likelihood of
         a municipal issuer's making payments on the TANs.

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

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

         Securities of U.S.  Government  Sponsored  Enterprises.  The Government
Portfolio,  Federal  Portfolio and Cash Portfolio may invest in debt  securities
issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government sponsored  enterprises.  These sponsored
enterprises include the World Bank, the Inter-American  Development Bank and the
Asian-American  Development  Bank.  None of the Portfolios  intends to invest in
securities  issued or  guaranteed  by  non-domestic  U.S.  Government  sponsored
enterprises.

         Loans of Portfolio Securities.  Each Portfolio may lend securities from
its  portfolio to brokers,  dealers and financial  institutions  if cash or cash
equivalent  collateral,  including letters of credit,  equal to at least 100% of
the current market value of the securities  loaned  (including  accrued interest
and dividends  thereon) plus the interest  payable to the Portfolio with respect
to the loan is maintained  by the borrower  with that  Portfolio in a segregated
account.  In  determining  whether to lend a security  to a  particular  broker,
dealer or financial  institution,  the Adviser will consider all relevant  facts
and  circumstances,  including  the  creditworthiness  of the broker,  dealer or
financial  institution.  The Portfolios will not enter into any security lending
arrangement  having a  duration  of  longer  than one  year.  Securities  that a
Portfolio  may receive as collateral  will not become part of that  Portfolio at
the time of the loan. In the event of a default by the borrower,  such Portfolio
will,  if  permitted  by law,  dispose  of the  collateral  except for such part
thereof that is a security in which the Portfolio is permitted to invest. During
the time securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Portfolio any accrued
income on those securities, and the Portfolio may invest the cash collateral and
earn  additional  income or receive an agreed upon fee from a borrower  that has
delivered cash equivalent collateral. No Portfolio will lend securities having a
value  that  exceeds  5% of the  current  value  of its  net  assets.  Loans  of
securities by a Portfolio  will be subject to  termination  at the option of the
Portfolio or the borrower.  The Portfolio may pay reasonable  administrative and
custodial  fees in  connection  with  securities  loans and may pay a negotiated
portion of the  interest or fee earned  with  respect to the  collateral  to the
borrower  or the  placing  broker.  Borrowers  and  placing  brokers  may not be
affiliated,  directly  or  indirectly,  with the  Company  or the  Adviser.  The
Portfolios did not lend any of their portfolio  securities  during 1994 and have
no present intention to do so.

                                PURCHASING SHARES

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

         There is a $10 million minimum initial investment in the Company,  with
a  minimum  investment  in  any  single  Portfolio  of  $2  million.  Subsequent
investments may be made in the Portfolios in any amount. Investment minimums may
be  waived  for  Directors  and  officers  of  the  Company  and  certain  other
affiliates.  The Company and Scudder Investor Services, Inc. (the "Distributor")
reserve the right to reject any  purchase  order.  All funds will be invested in
full and fractional shares.

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


                                       6
<PAGE>
of the order may be delayed.  Payments transmitted by a bank wire other than the
Federal Reserve Wire System may take longer to be converted into federal funds.

         Shares of any Portfolio may be purchased by writing or calling  Scudder
Service  Corporation,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Adviser (the "Transfer
Agent").  Due to the  desire  of the  Company  to  afford  ease  of  redemption,
certificates will not be issued to indicate ownership in a Portfolio. Orders for
shares of a  Portfolio  will be  executed  at the net asset value per share next
determined after an order has become effective.

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

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

                                REDEEMING SHARES

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


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

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

                                    DIVIDENDS

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

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

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

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


                                       7
<PAGE>
         Shareholders  who redeem all their shares  prior to a dividend  payment
will receive,  in addition to the redemption  proceeds,  dividends  declared but
unpaid.  Shareholders who redeem only a portion of their shares will be entitled
to all dividends declared but unpaid on such shares on the next dividend payment
date.

                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

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

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

Yield

   
         The Company makes available  various yield  information with respect to
shares of the Portfolios,  including yield and effective yield  quotations based
upon the seven-day  period ended on the date of calculation.  The yield for each
Portfolio  for the  seven-day  period ended  December 31, 1994 was 5.61% for the
Government  Portfolio,  4.07%  for the  Federal  Portfolio,  5.66%  for the Cash
Portfolio  and 4.63% for the  Tax-Free  Portfolio.  Each  Portfolio's  yield may
fluctuate daily and does not provide a basis for determining future yields.
    

         The yield is  computed by  determining  the net  change,  exclusive  of
capital changes,  in the value of a hypothetical  pre-existing  account having a
balance of one share at the beginning of the  seven-day  period and dividing the
difference by the value of the account at the beginning of the seven-day  period
to obtain the  seven-day  period  return.  The  seven-day  period return is then
"annualized"  by multiplying it by 365/7 with the resulting yield figure carried
to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent.  The net change in value of an
account consists of the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from
the original  share plus  dividends  declared on both the original share and any
such  additional  shares (not including  realized gains or losses and unrealized
appreciation or depreciation) less applicable expenses, including the management
fee payable to the Adviser.

         Current yield for all of the  Portfolios  will  fluctuate  from time to
time,  unlike bank  deposits or other  investments  that pay a fixed yield for a
stated period of time, and do not provide a basis for determining future yields.
Yield is a function  of  portfolio  quality,  composition,  maturity  and market
conditions as well as the expenses allocated to the Portfolios.

Effective Yield

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

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

         The  result  of the  calculation  is  carried  out to the  nearest  one
hundredth of one percent.

   
         The effective yield (i.e., on a compound basis, assuming that the daily
reinvestment of dividends) for the seven-day  period ended December 31, 1994 was
5.76% for the Government Portfolio,  4.15% for the Federal Portfolio,  5.82% for
the Cash Portfolio and 4.73% for the Tax-Free Portfolio, respectively.
    

         In computing  the yield and effective  yield,  the  calculation  of net
change in account value includes the value of additional  shares  purchased with
dividends  from the original  share and dividends  declared on both the original
share and any such  additional  shares  and less fees  that are  charged  to all
shareholder  accounts in proportion to the length of the seven-day  period.  The
calculations  exclude  realized gains and losses from the sale of securities and
unrealized appreciation and depreciation.

Average Annual Total Return

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

                              T = (ERV/P)^(1/n) - 1
     Where:

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

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

                                 C = (ERV/P) - 1
     Where:

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

Total Return

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

Comparison of Portfolio Performance

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

         From  time to  time,  in  marketing  and  other  fund  literature,  the
performance  of each of the  Portfolios  may be compared to the  performance  of
broad  groups of mutual  funds  with  similar  investment  goals,  as tracked by
independent   organizations.   Among  these  organizations,   Lipper  Analytical
Services, Inc. ("Lipper") may be cited. When Lipper's tracking results are used,
the Fund will be compared to Lipper's  appropriate  fund  category,  that is, by
fund objective and portfolio  holdings.  For instance,  the  Portfolios  will be
compared with funds within Lipper's money market fund category.  Rankings may be
listed among one or more of the asset-size classes as determined by Lipper.

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

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

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

                              COMPANY ORGANIZATION

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

         The  Company was formed on January 2, 1986 as a  corporation  under the
laws of the State of  Maryland.  The  authorized  capital  stock of the  Company
consists  of  25,000,000,000  shares  having a par value of $.001 per share,  of
which  5,000,000,000  shares  each  have  been  designated  for  the  Government
Portfolio,  Federal Portfolio and Cash Portfolio,  and 2,000,000,000 shares have
been designated for the Tax-Free  Portfolio.  The Company is authorized to issue
full and fractional shares in separate series.  The Directors have created eight
series,  constituting  the Government  Portfolio,  the Federal  Portfolio,  Cash
Portfolio,  Tax-Free  Portfolio,  Institutional  Prime Portfolio,  Institutional
Municipal  Income  Portfolio,  Institutional  Intermediate  Cash  Portfolio  and
Institutional  Bond Index  Portfolio  and reserved  authority to create,  in the
future, other series representing shares of additional portfolios.

         On any matter  submitted  to a vote of  shareholders,  all shares  then
entitled to vote will be voted by  Portfolio  unless  otherwise  required by the
1940 Act, in which case all shares will be voted in the aggregate.  For example,
a change in a Portfolio's  fundamental  investment  policies would be voted upon
only by shareholders of the Portfolio  involved.  Additionally,  approval of the
Investment Advisory  Agreements is a matter to be determined  separately by each
Portfolio. Approval by the shareholders of one Portfolio is effective as to that
Portfolio  whether or not sufficient votes are received from the shareholders of
the other Portfolios to approve the proposal as to those Portfolios.  As used in
the  Prospectus  and in this  Statement  of  Additional  Information,  the  term
"majority,"  when referring to approvals to be obtained from  shareholders  of a
Portfolio,  means  the  vote  of the  lesser  of (i)  67% of the  shares  of the
Portfolio  represented  at a  meeting  if the  holders  of more  than 50% of the
outstanding  shares of the Portfolio are present in person or by proxy,  or (ii)
more than 50% of the outstanding  shares of the Portfolio.  The term "majority,"
when referring to the approvals to be obtained from  shareholders of the Company
as a whole,  means  the vote of the  lesser of (i) 67% of the  Company's  shares
represented  at a meeting  if the  holders  of more than 50% of the  outstanding
shares are present in person or by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Company's
outstanding  shares.  Shareholders  are entitled to one vote for each full share
held and fractional votes for fractional shares held.

         Each share of a Portfolio represents an equal proportional  interest in
that  Portfolio  with each other  share and is entitled  to such  dividends  and
distributions out of the income earned on the assets belonging to that Portfolio
as are  declared  in  the  discretion  of the  Directors.  In the  event  of the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, shares of a Portfolio are entitled to
receive  the  assets  attributable  to that  Portfolio  that are  available  for
distribution,  and a distribution  of any general assets not  attributable  to a
particular  Portfolio that are available for  distribution in such manner and on
such basis as the Directors in their sole discretion may determine.

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

                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

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

         The Company retains Scudder,  Stevens & Clark,  Inc. (the "Adviser") as
investment  adviser on behalf of each of the  Portfolios  pursuant to Investment
Advisory  Agreements  (the  "Agreements").  The  Adviser  is  one  of  the  most
experienced investment counsel firms in the U.S. It was established in 1919 as a
partnership  and  was  restructured  as a  Delaware  corporation  in  1985.  The
principal  source of the  Adviser's  income is  professional  fees received from
providing  continuing  investment  advice,  and the firm  derives no income from
banking,  brokerage,  or underwriting of securities.  The Adviser's wholly-owned
subsidiary,  Scudder  Investor  Services,  Inc.  (the  "Distributor"),  acts  as
principal  underwriter for shares of registered open-end  investment  companies.
The Adviser provides  investment  counsel for many individuals and institutions,
including insurance companies, endowments, industrial corporations and financial
and  banking  organizations.  As of  December  31,  1994,  the  Adviser  and its
affiliates had in excess of $90 billion under their  supervision,  approximately
two-thirds of which was invested in fixed-income securities.

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

         The Adviser may give advice and take action with  respect to any of its
other clients,  which may differ from advice given or from the time or nature of
action taken with respect to a Portfolio  of the Company.  If these  clients and
such  Portfolio are  simultaneously  buying or selling a security with a limited
market, the price may be adversely  affected.  In addition,  the Adviser may, on
behalf of other  clients,  furnish  financial  advice or be  involved  in tender
offers or  merger  proposals  relating  to  companies  in which  such  Portfolio
invests.  The best interests of any Portfolio may or may not be consistent  with
the  achievement  of the objectives of the other persons for whom the Adviser is
providing  advice or for whom they are  acting.  Where a  possible  conflict  is
apparent,  the Adviser will follow  whatever course of action is in its judgment
in the best  interests  of the  Portfolio.  The Adviser may consult  independent
third persons in reaching its decision.

         Under the Agreements,  it is the responsibility of the Adviser, subject
to the  supervision of the Board of Directors,  to manage each such  Portfolio's
investments in conformity with the stated policies of the Portfolio by providing
supervision of its investments,  including the acquisition,  holding or disposal
of securities for the Portfolio,  and by effecting  purchase and sale orders for
securities of the Portfolio.  It also furnishes the Portfolio with  bookkeeping,
accounting and administrative  services which are not furnished by the Custodian
or  Scudder  Fund  Accounting  Corporation,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the
Adviser,  office  space and  equipment,  and the  services of the  officers  and
employees  of the  Company.  The  Adviser  has  authorized  any of its  managing
directors, officers and employees who have been elected as Directors or officers
of the Company to serve in the capacities to which they have been elected.

         Total  fees  paid by the  Company  to the  Adviser  for the year  ended
December 31, 1994 were  $272,538 for the  Government  Portfolio,  $3,068 for the
Federal Portfolio, $580,110 for the Cash Portfolio and $212,854 for the Tax-Free
Portfolio.  See  "Investment  Adviser"  in the  Prospectus.  For the year  ended
December  31,  1994,  the Adviser did not impose fees  amounting  to $12,962 and
reimbursed a portion of expenses  amounting  to $702 for the Federal  Portfolio.
For the year ended  December  31,  1994,  the  Adviser  reimbursed  a portion of
expenses amounting to $32,600 for the Tax-Free Portfolio.

         Total  fees  paid by the  Company  to the  Adviser  for the year  ended
December 31, 1993 were $289,955 for the Government Portfolio, $0 for the Federal
Portfolio,  $921,933  for the  Cash  Portfolio  and  $179,949  for the  Tax-Free
Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 1993, the Adviser did not impose fees
amounting to $10,239 and  reimbursed a portion of expenses  amounting to $31,242
for the Federal Portfolio.

         Total  fees  paid by the  Company  to the  Adviser  for the year  ended
December 31, 1992 were $352,601 for the Government Portfolio, $0 for the Federal
Portfolio,  $703,188  for the  Cash  Portfolio  and  $147,482  for the  Tax-Free


                                       12
<PAGE>
Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 1992, the Adviser did not impose fees
amounting to $14,276 and  reimbursed a portion of expenses  amounting to $20,581
for the Federal Portfolio.

         Each Portfolio will bear all expenses not  specifically  assumed by the
Adviser under the terms of the  Agreements.  Such expenses will include  without
limitation:  (a) organization expenses of the Portfolios; (b) clerical salaries;
(c) fees and expenses  incurred by the Portfolios in connection  with membership
in  investment  company  organizations;  (d)  brokerage  and other  expenses  of
executing portfolio transactions;  (e) payment for portfolio pricing services to
a pricing agent, if any; (f) legal,  auditing or accounting expenses;  (g) trade
association  dues; (h) taxes or governmental  fees; (i) the fees and expenses of
the  transfer  agent  of  the  Portfolios;  (j)  the  cost  of  preparing  share
certificates  or any  other  expenses,  including  clerical  expenses  of issue,
redemption or repurchase of shares of the Portfolios;  (k) the expenses and fees
for registering and qualifying securities for sale; (l) the fees and expenses of
directors of the Company who are not  employees or  affiliates of the Adviser or
any of its  affiliates;  (m) travel  expenses  of all  officers,  directors  and
employees;  (n) insurance  premiums;  (o) the cost of preparing and distributing
reports and notices to shareholders; (p) public and investor relations expenses;
or (q) the  fees or  disbursements  of  custodians  of the  Portfolios'  assets,
including expenses incurred in the performance of any obligations  enumerated by
the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws insofar as they govern  agreements with
any such  custodian.  No sales  or  promotional  expenses  are  incurred  by the
Company,  but expenses  incurred in complying with laws relating to the issue or
sale of the Company's shares are not deemed sales or promotional expenses.

         Each of the Agreements provides that if, in any fiscal year, the "total
expenses" of the relevant Portfolio ("total expenses"  generally excludes taxes,
interest,  brokerage commission and other portfolio transaction expenses,  other
expenditures  that  are  capitalized  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted
accounting principles and extraordinary  expenses,  but including the management
fee) exceed the expense limitations  applicable to such Portfolio imposed by the
securities  regulations  of any state,  the Adviser  will pay or  reimburse  the
Portfolio for the excess. Each of the Agreements,  however,  limits such payment
or reimbursement to the amount of the annual management fee otherwise payable by
the Portfolio.  It is believed that currently the most restrictive  state annual
expense limitation is 2.5% of the first $30,000,000 of average daily net assets,
2%  of  the  next  $70,000,000  and  1.5%  of  average  daily  net  assets  over
$100,000,000.  For the three years ended  December 31, 1994, the Adviser has not
had to reimburse any Portfolio because of these limitations.

         The  Agreements  will continue in effect with respect to each Portfolio
if specifically approved annually by a majority of the Directors of the Company,
including a majority of the  Directors  who are not parties to such  contract or
"interested persons" of any such party. Each of the Agreements may be terminated
without  penalty by either of the  parties on 60 days'  written  notice and must
terminate in the event of its  assignment.  Each may be amended or modified only
if approved by vote of the holders of the majority of the particular Portfolio's
outstanding shares as defined in the 1940 Act.

         The  Agreements  provide  that the Adviser is not liable for any act or
omission in the course of or in connection  with  rendering  services  under the
Agreements in the absence of willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence
of its obligations or duties.

         The Adviser  places orders for the purchase and sale of securities  for
the Portfolios of the Company. The Company will not deal with the Adviser in any
transaction in which the Adviser acts as principal.

Personal Investments by Employees of the Adviser

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

         Directors of the Company not affiliated  with the Adviser  receive from
the  Company  an  annual  fee and a fee for each  Board of  Directors  and Board
Committee  meeting  attended and are reimbursed for all  out-of-pocket  expenses
relating to attendance at such meetings.  Directors who are affiliated  with the
Adviser do not  receive  compensation  from the  Company,  but the  Company  may
reimburse such Directors for all  out-of-pocket  expenses relating to attendance
at meetings.

         As of April 1, 1995,  the Directors  and officers of the Company,  as a
group,  owned less than 1% of the  outstanding  shares of each  Portfolio of the
Company.

         As of  April  1,  1995,  the  following  shareholders  held of  record,
beneficially,  or  both,  more  than  5% of  the  outstanding  shares  of  these
Portfolios:

   
         Government  Portfolio.  Chemical Bank, Jericho, New York 11753-0900 and
Bowen  David & Co.,  Boston,  MA  02105-1647  held of record  27.80% and 42.54%,
respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Government Portfolio.

         Federal  Portfolio.  Lazard  Freres & Co.,  New York,  NY 10020 held of

                                  REMUNERATION

         Several of the officers and Directors of the Company may be officers or
employees of the Adviser, Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation,  Scudder Investor
Services,  Inc., Scudder Service Corporation or Scudder Trust Company, from whom
they  receive  compensation,  as a  result  of  which  they  may  be  deemed  to
participate  in the fees  paid by the  Company.  The  Portfolios  pay no  direct
remuneration  to any  officer of the  Company.  However,  each of the  Company's
Directors who is not  affiliated  with the Adviser will be  compensated  for all
expenses  relating to Company business  (specifically  including travel expenses
relating to Company  business).  Each of these  unaffiliated  Directors received

Director's  fee,  each  Directors'  meeting,  and each Board  Committee  meeting
attended, in the amount of $250 per Portfolio if the average daily net assets of
each Portfolio are less than $500,000,000,  or $500 per Portfolio if the average
daily net assets of each Portfolio are in excess of $500,000,000. For the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1994, such fees totaled $149,564. Effective May 1, 1995,

                                      TAXES

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

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

         Qualification by each Portfolio as a regulated investment company under
the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code")  requires,  among other  things,
that (a) at least 90% of the Portfolio's annual gross income, without offset for
losses  from  the sale or other  disposition  of  securities,  be  derived  from
interest,  payments with respect to securities  loans,  dividends and gains from


                                       16
<PAGE>
   
the sale or other disposition of securities;  (b) the Portfolio derive less than
30% of its gross income from gains (without  offset for losses) from the sale or
other  disposition  of securities  held for less than three months;  and (c) the
Portfolio  diversify  its  holdings so that,  at the end of each  quarter of the
taxable year: (i) at least 50% of the market value of the Portfolio's  assets is
represented  by cash,  government  securities  and other  securities  limited in
respect of any one issuer to an amount not  greater  than 5% of the value of the
Portfolio's  assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer,
and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of the Portfolio's assets is invested in
the securities of any one issuer (other than the U.S.  government  securities or
securities of other  regulated  investment  companies) or of two or more issuers
which the taxpayer  controls and which are  determined to be engaged in the same
or similar trade or business.  As a regulated investment company, each Portfolio
will not be subject to federal income tax on its net  investment  income and net
capital gains distributed to its  shareholders,  provided that it distributes to
its shareholders at least 90% of its net taxable  investment  income  (including
net  short-term  capital gains) and at least 90% of the excess of its tax-exempt
interest income over attributable  expenses earned in each year. In addition, in
the case of the Tax-Free  Portfolio,  the Portfolio intends that at least 50% of
the value of its total  assets at the close of each  quarter of its taxable year
will consist of obligations  the interest on which is exempt from federal income
tax, so that the Portfolio  will qualify  under the Code to pay  exempt-interest
dividends.
    

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

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

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

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

         Any loss  realized on a sale or exchange of shares of a Portfolio  will
be disallowed to the extent shares of such Portfolio are  reacquired  within the
61-day  period  beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the shares are
disposed of. Income from the Federal Portfolio and Tax-Free Portfolio may not be
exempt from certain state and local taxes.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

         Subject to the  supervision  of the Board of Directors,  the Adviser is
primarily  responsible for the Company's investment decisions and the placing of
the Company's portfolio transactions. In placing orders, it is the policy of the
Adviser to obtain the most  favorable  net  results,  taking into  account  such
factors as price,  size of order,  difficulty of execution and skill required of


                                       17
<PAGE>
the  executing  broker.   While  the  Adviser  will  generally  seek  reasonably
competitive  spreads or commissions,  the Company will not necessarily be paying
the lowest spread or commission available.

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

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

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

                                 NET ASSET VALUE

         Net asset value per share for each  Portfolio is  determined by Scudder
Fund Accounting  Corporation,  a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, on each
day the  Exchange  is open for  trading.  The net asset  value per share of each
Portfolio is determined  at 2:00 P.M.  (New York time).  The net asset value per
share of each Portfolio is computed by dividing the value of the total assets of
the Portfolio,  less all liabilities,  by the total number of outstanding shares
of the  Portfolio.  The  Exchange is closed on  Saturdays,  Sundays,  and on New
Year's  Day,  Presidents'  Day (the  third  Monday in  February),  Good  Friday,
Memorial Day (the last Monday in May),  Independence  Day,  Labor Day (the first
Monday in  September),  Thanksgiving  Day and Christmas Day  (collectively,  the
"Holidays").  When any Holiday  falls on a Saturday,  the Exchange is closed the
preceding Friday, and when any Holiday falls on a Sunday, the Exchange is closed
the following  Monday.  Although the Company  intends to declare  dividends with
respect to each of its Money  Market Funds on all other days,  including  Martin
Luther King,  Jr. Day (the third  Monday in  January),  Columbus Day (the second
Monday in October) and Veterans' Day, no redemptions will be made on these three
bank holidays nor on any of the Holidays.

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


                                       18
<PAGE>
values, and existing Portfolio  shareholders would receive  correspondingly less
income. The converse would apply during periods of rising interest rates.

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

                                    APPENDIX

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

Corporate and Municipal Bonds

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

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

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

Corporate and Municipal Commercial Paper

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

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

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

Municipal Notes

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

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

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

Dear Shareholder:

     The Fund provided  competitive  investment  results to its  shareholders in
1994.  The Fund,  operated  exclusively  for  institutions  and  their  clients,
includes  four money  market  portfolios:  Institutional  Government  Portfolio,
Institutional Federal Portfolio,  Institutional Cash Portfolio and Institutional
Tax-Free Portfolio.

     Each  Portfolio  seeks to provide  as high a level of current  income as is
consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity. The Institutional Federal
Portfolio  seeks to maximize  income that cannot be subjected to state and local
income taxes by reason of Federal law, and the Institutional  Tax-Free Portfolio
seeks to provide income exempt from Federal  income tax. The  Portfolios  differ
from each other in the types of money market instruments in which each invests.

     Aggregate  net assets of the  Portfolios  were $568 million at December 31,
1994. A table showing dividend payments and other financial  information for the
five years ended December 31 for each Portfolio is on page 16.

     Net asset value per share of each Portfolio was maintained at $1.00.

     Audited  financial  statements  for the year ended  December 31, 1994 and a
list of each  Portfolio's  investments  as of that  date  are set  forth  on the
following pages.

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

                                                                 /s/David S. Lee

SCUDDER INSTITUTIONAL FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   ORGANIZATION

     Scudder  Institutional  Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end  diversified
management  investment  company  which  currently  has four active  money market
investment  portfolios:  the  Government  Portfolio,   Federal  Portfolio,  Cash
Portfolio and Tax-Free Portfolio (collectively the "Portfolios").

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Significant accounting policies followed by the Fund are:

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

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

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

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

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

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

3.   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

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

4.   MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The investment advisory  agreements between Scudder,  Stevens & Clark, Inc.
("Scudder"),  the  Fund's  investment  manager,  and the Fund on  behalf of each
Portfolio  provide  for a  management  fee payable  each  month,  based upon the
average daily value of each  Portfolio's  net assets,  at annual rates of 0.15%.
For the year ended  December 31, 1994,  Scudder did not impose fees amounting to
$12,962 for the Federal Portfolio. In addition,  Scudder reimbursed a portion of
expenses  amounting  to $32,600  for the  Tax-Free  Portfolio;  and $702 for the
Federal Portfolio.

     Under  certain  state  regulations,  if the  total  expenses  of any of the
Portfolios,  exclusive of taxes,  interest,  and  extraordinary  expenses exceed
certain limitations,  the Fund's investment adviser is required to reimburse the
Portfolio for such excess up to the amount of management  fees.  During the year
ended December 31, 1994, no such reimbursement was required.

     Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Scudder,
is the Fund's shareholders service,  transfer and dividend disbursing agent. For
the  year  ended  December  31,  1994,  the  amount  charged  to the Fund by SSC
aggregated  $18,928  for  the  Government  Portfolio,  $1,355  for  the  Federal
Portfolio,  $39,639  for the  Cash  Portfolio,  and  $11,780  for  the  Tax-Free
Portfolio, of which $2,118, $118, $3,064, and $331 respectively remain unpaid at
December 31, 1994.

     Effective August 1, 1994 for the Government  Portfolio,  Federal Portfolio,
and Cash  Portfolio,  and August 18, 1994 for Tax Free  Portfolio,  Scudder Fund
Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Scudder,  assumed
responsibility  for  determining  the  daily  net  asset  value  per  share  and
maintaining the portfolio and general accounting records for the Portfolios. For
the year ended  December 31, 1994,  the amount charged to the Portfolios by SFAC
aggregated  $13,451  for  the  Government  Portfolio,  $1,203  for  the  Federal
Portfolio,  $19,023  for the  Cash  Portfolio,  and  $15,731  for  the  Tax-Free
Portfolio,  of which $2,598,  $256,  $3,375,  and $3,684,  respectively,  remain
unpaid at  December  31,  1994.  For the year ended  December  31,  1994 for the
Federal Portfolio, SFAC did not impose fees amounting to $11,297.

     The Fund has a compensation  arrangement  under which payment of directors'
fees may be deferred. Interest is accrued (based on the rate of return earned on
the 90 day  Treasury  Bill as  determined  at the  beginning  of  each  calendar
quarter)  on the  deferred  balances  and is included  in  "Directors'  fees and
expenses."  The  accumulated  balance of deferred  directors'  fees and interest
thereon  relating  to all  active  Portfolios  comprising  the  Fund  aggregates
$390,447, an applicable portion of which is included in accrued expenses of each
of the Portfolios.

5.   CAPITAL STOCK

     At December 31, 1994, the Fund had 25,000,000,000 shares of $.001 par value
Capital  Stock  authorized,   of  which  5,000,000,000  shares  each  have  been
designated for the Government  Portfolio,  Federal Portfolio and Cash Portfolio,
and 2,000,000,000  shares have been designated for the Tax-Free  Portfolio.  Net
paid in  capital  in excess of par value  was  $117,746,256  for the  Government
Portfolio,  $11,043,914  for the Federal  Portfolio,  $270,733,795  for the Cash
Portfolio and $167,689,539 for the Tax-Free Portfolio. At December 31, 1994, one
holder of record  of the  Government  Portfolio  held  approximately  51% of the
outstanding  shares and one holder of the Federal  Portfolio held  approximately
53% of the outstanding shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

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

In our  opinion,  the  accompanying  statements  of net assets,  and the related
statements  of  operations  and of  changes  in net  assets  and  the  financial
highlights present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position of
the  Institutional   Government  Portfolio,   Institutional  Federal  Portfolio,
Institutional  Cash  Portfolio,  and  Institutional  Tax-Free  Portfolio (each a
separate portfolio of Scudder Institutional Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as
the "Fund") at December 31, 1994,  the results of each of their  operations  for
the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five
years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  These  financial  statements  and financial  highlights  (hereafter
referred to as  "financial  statements")  are the  responsibility  of the Fund's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements  based on our  audits.  We  conducted  our audits of these  financial
statements in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  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 presentation.  We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at December 31, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian, provide
a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS OF 1994 DIVIDENDS

     The total amount of dividends declared in 1994 by each of the Federal
Portfolio, Government Portfolio and Cash Portfolio of Scudder Institutional
Fund, Inc. is taxable as ordinary dividend income for Federal income tax
purposes. None of this amount qualifies for the dividends received deduction
available to corporations.

     All of the dividends from the Tax-Free Portfolio declared in 1994 are
exempt from Federal income tax. However, in accordance with the Internal
Revenue Code, you are required to report them on your 1994 Federal income tax
return.

     Although dividend income from the Tax-Free Portfolio is exempt from
Federal taxation, it may not be exempt from state or local taxation. You should
consult your tax advisor as to the state and local tax status of the dividends
you received.
