Dear Shareholder:

Operated exclusively for institutions and their clients,  Scudder  Institutional
Fund, Inc., which includes  Institutional  Government  Portfolio,  Institutional
Federal  Portfolio,  Institutional  Cash Portfolio,  and Institutional  Tax-Free
Portfolio,  provided  competitive  investment results in the first six months of
1996. These four money market  portfolios seek to provide high levels of current
income while preserving capital and maintaining  liquidity.  

All four portfolios seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00, and have done
so since their inception. (There is no guarantee, of course, that each portfolio
will maintain stable net asset values.) The Institutional Federal Portfolio
seeks to maximize income exempt from state and local income taxes, while the
Institutional Tax-Free Portfolio seeks to provide income exempt from Federal
income tax.

Total net assets were $413 million on June 30, compared with $425 million on
December 31, 1995. A table showing dividend payments and other financial
information for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as well as the five years
ended December 31 for each portfolio is on page 16. In addition, please see the
following pages for financial statements for the semiannual period, as well as a
list of each portfolio's investments.

If you have any questions concerning the Scudder Institutional Fund, Inc.,
please call toll free (800) 854-8525.

SCUDDER INSTITUTIONAL FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 rate of amortization to maturity of any
premium or discount. This method results in a value approximating market.

     (b) Federal Income Taxes--The Fund intends to qualify each Portfolio as a
regulated investment company under subchapter M of 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 date. 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, the investment
manager 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.

SCUDDER INSTITUTIONAL FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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%.

     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. The adviser
agreed not to impose a portion of its management fee until October 31, 1996 and
during such period to maintain the annualized expenses of the Federal Portfolio
at not more than 0.70% of average daily net assets. During the six months ended
June 30, 1996, no such reimbursement was required.

     Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of Scudder, is the Fund's
shareholders service, transfer and dividend disbursing agent. For the six months
ended June 30, 1996, the amount charged to the Fund by SSC aggregated $11,611
for the Government Portfolio, Federal Portfolio, Cash Portfolio, and Tax-Free
Portfolio, respectively, of which $1,833, remains unpaid at June 30, 1996 for
each of the funds.

     Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a subsidiary of Scudder, is
responsible for determining the daily net asset value per share and maintaining
the portfolio and general accounting records for the Portfolios. For the six
months ended June 30, 1996, the amount charged to the Portfolios by SFAC
aggregated $15,000 for the Government Portfolio, $2,492 for the Federal
Portfolio, $20,945 for the Cash Portfolio, and $15,242 for the Tax-Free
Portfolio, of which $5,000, $684, $7,030, and $5,000, respectively, remain
unpaid at June 30, 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 for the Federal
Portfolio, SFAC did not impose fees amounting to $12,508.

     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
$215,444, an applicable portion of which is included in accrued expenses of each
of the Portfolios.

5.  CAPITAL STOCK 

     At June 30, 1996, 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 $49,472,356 for the Government
Portfolio, $15,291,664 for the Federal Portfolio, $260,048,696 for the Cash
Portfolio and $87,677,639 for the Tax-Free Portfolio. At June 30, 1996, one
holder of record of the Government Portfolio held approximately 78% of the
outstanding shares; two holders of the Federal Portfolio held approximately 49%
and 41% each of the outstanding shares; one holder of the Cash Portfolio held
approximately 70% of the outstanding shares; and one holder of the Tax-Free
Portfolio held approximately 73% of the outstanding shares.
