SCUDDER VARIABLE LIFE INVESTMENT FUND
LETTER FROM THE FUND'S PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholders,
We are witnessing a remarkable period in the U.S. stock market. The six
year rally in stocks continued over the first half of 1997, pausing only
momentarily in March to digest an increase in interest rates before resuming its
rise. Expanding corporate earnings, healthy economic growth, and benign
inflation reports were the primary drivers of the favorable environment, which
has been responsible for an unprecedented rise in stock prices -- especially for
larger capitalization issues.
It's possible that the market will continue to move ahead at full
throttle, especially if the inflationary data continues to support a thesis of
manageable economic growth. However, we would point out that the market appears
rather sensitive to new news, whether it be related to corporate earnings or
economic activity. Any reversal of the data, any major earnings disappointments,
or a renewed desire by the Federal Reserve to apply further restraint on the
economy -- and on the capital markets -- could add some bumps to the road ahead.
While current stock price valuations have risen dramatically, investors
should not lose sight of some basic fundamentals of investing --adequate
diversification, proper asset allocation, and investments that continue to match
long-term investment objectives. If you are comfortable that your investments
meet these requirements, then you will be best positioned to weather the
short-term and sometimes unpredictable movements of the markets.
The Fund's broad selection of portfolios with various investment
objectives offers diversification and flexibility, making it an attractive
choice for many investors in an uncertain market environment. A complete
discussion of each Portfolio's activities follows this letter.
Thank you for your continued investment in Scudder Variable Life
Investment Fund. We look forward to serving your needs for many years to come.
Sincerely,
/s/ David B. Watts

President,

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
Throughout the period, investors continued to grapple with an interesting
paradox: growth without inflation. After much interim volatility, fixed-income
investments rallied in the remaining weeks through June 30, as data began to
suggest that growth in the second quarter would slow. The Portfolio's
investments in ultra short-term, high-quality securities helped it successfully
navigate the changing tides of investor sentiment, as it maintained its $1.00
share price throughout the period. As interest rates edged higher, the Portfolio
was able to provide a higher level of income, contributing to a total return of
2.53% for the six months. The Portfolio's 30-day net annualized yield at the end
of June was 5.19%. Among its peers, the Portfolio ranked 3rd (top 3%) out of 107
underlying funds in the Variable Life Money Market category according to Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc.
[CALLOUT NEXT TO PRECEDING PARAGRAPH]
We shortened the Fund's
average maturity in
anticipation of rising rates.
Few tools are as important to the management of a money market portfolio
as its average maturity. As robust economic growth heightened concerns of
accelerating inflation and the possibility of rising short-term interest rates
during the first quarter of 1997, we began to shorten the Portfolio's average
maturity. When the Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised short-term rates on March
25, the Portfolio's shorter average maturity enabled us to quickly reinvest in
higher yielding money market instruments. At the end of June, the Portfolio's
average effective maturity stood at 47 days.
The six-year-old expansion may very well wind down, paving the way for
still lower interest rates and a sustained bond market rally. Also, at 5.5%, the
current federal funds rate does not constitute "easy money" in our view. But the
timing of an economic downturn is difficult to predict. For now, growth is
strong and reported profits continue to exceed expectations. Although the Fed
left interest rates unchanged at its May 20 and July 2 meetings, it may find
sufficient reason to raise rates later this year. Going forward, we believe the
Portfolio will continue to demonstrate the value of owning a short-term
investment vehicle as part of a well-diversified investment program.
Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

BOND PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
A combination of solid economic growth with low inflation provided an
overall favorable environment for bond investors for the semiannual period ended
June 30, 1997. In this environment, the Bond Portfolio provided a total return
of 3.08% for the six months. This performance was in keeping with the 3.11%
return of the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the same time
period. Among its peers, the Portfolio ranked 7th (top 22%) out of 32 underlying
funds in the Variable Life Corporate Debt A-Rated category according to Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc.
In the first quarter of 1997, reports of unusually strong economic growth
spurred increased concerns about accelerating inflation. On March 25 the Federal
Reserve (the Fed) raised a key rate -- the Fed funds rate -- by a quarter of a
point from 5.25% to 5.50%. In response, bond yields rose and prices declined
slightly. Yields reversed in the second quarter, as several inflation measures
showed no acceleration and economic growth appeared to be moderating. In
addition, the Fed left rates unchanged at two subsequent meetings, causing
yields to retreat and bond prices to rally.
[CALLOUT NEXT TO PRECEDING PARAGRAPH]
With a neutral duration
strategy, we focused on
sector allocations.
In this environment our portfolio duration was essentially neutral at 4.6
years and we focused on sector allocations. During the first quarter, we
de-emphasized mortgage securities which typically have intermediate term (3-5
year) average effective maturities, and increased our "barbelled" strategy by
adding to holdings at the short and long ends of the maturity spectrum.
Mortgage securities provided very good performance for most of the period.
However, mortgages became "rich" in our opinion as many investors flocked to
them for their attractive yields. We reduced holdings of mortgages over the six
months and added to short-term securities, which provided a cushion to changes
in short-term interest rates. The investment grade corporate bond sector
provided returns that were in line with the performance of the broad market
indices for the six-month period. U.S. Treasury securities were weak performers
during the period and we remained underweighted in this area. At the end of the
period, the Portfolio maintained its high average quality rating of AA.
As we look forward to the remainder of 1997, we see few signs of concern
for bond investors. Leading economic indicators supply little evidence to
suggest that inflation will accelerate anytime soon -- the chief concern for
bond investors. While we expect market volatility may continue in the near term,
our long-term outlook is for slower growth with benign inflation. In this
environment, we believe your Fund should continue to provide attractive income,
relative stability and diversification -- important components of a
well-balanced investment portfolio.
Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

BALANCED PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
Over the first half of 1997, stocks recorded yet another period of
outstanding performance while bonds provided positive, but more modest total
returns. The Balanced Portfolio's approach to investing in a combination of
quality growth stocks and bonds resulted in a total return of 14.70% for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1997. Among its peers, the Portfolio ranked 1st
out of 39 underlying funds in the Variable Life Balanced category according to
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
Record corporate earnings, moderating but healthy economic growth, and
benign inflation sustained a very favorable environment for equity investors
over the first six months of 1997. The first quarter's robust 4.9% growth rate
gave rise to an increased possibility of accelerating inflation, which
encouraged the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to increase a key short-term interest
rate in March. While stocks and bonds initially declined on this news, the Fed
remained silent about raising rates at the two subsequent meetings. Investors
had built a rate increase into their thinking, and when it failed to
materialize, the stock and bond markets reacted favorably.
[CALLOUT NEXT TO PRECEDING PARAGRAPH]
An emphasis on stocks of
large growth companies
in the equity portion of
the Portfolio was an
important contributor to
performance.
The equity portion of the portfolio represented 61% of assets at the end
of the period. Particularly noteworthy performers over the period included Avon
Products and Revlon in the consumer staples sector, Pfizer, and Warner-Lambert
in healthcare, Clear Channel Communications in media, Corporate Express in
specialty retail, and finally, Applied Materials, Computer Associates, Microsoft
and Teradyne in the technology sector. Our decision to hold on to several
networking stocks also paid off, with 3Com and Cisco among the best performers
in the equity portion of the portfolio. Stocks which detracted from performance
included Federated Department Stores, Boston Scientific, EDS, AMD, and Intel.
Our relatively small holding in Intel actually contributed positively to
performance relative to the Portfolio's benchmark during this period.
As of the end of the six-month period, fixed income securities represented
39% of assets, including cash and equivalents. Our portfolio duration was
essentially neutral at 4.75 years, as we focused on allocating assets across
sectors of the fixed income market. During the first quarter, we de-emphasized
mortgage securities, which typically have intermediate term (3-5 year) average
effective maturities, and increased the "barbelling" of the Fund's maturity
structure by adding to holdings at the short and long ends of the spectrum. As
of the end of the period, the fixed income portion of the portfolio had
maintained its high average quality rating of AA.

Your Portfolio Management Team

CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
Investors continued to enjoy a near-perfect economic environment of
deflationary growth over the first six months of 1997 as the Capital Growth
Portfolio returned 24.02%, exceeding the 20.61% return of the unmanaged S&P 500
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997. Among its peers, the Portfolio
ranked 1st out of 121 underlying funds in the Variable Life Growth category
according to Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
High quality large-capitalization stocks have led the market for several
quarters, with investor's appetite for big blue chip companies accelerating
towards the end of the six-month period. While our valuation discipline has kept
us out of a few of the larger, better performing issues, such as Coca Cola and
Gillette, the portfolio's diversified holdings of technology, finance,
manufacturing, and healthcare stocks have kept pace with the market's advance.
[CALLOUT NEXT TO PRECEDING PARAGRAPH]
Stocks of quality, blue
chip companies -- the
Portfolio's primary
emphasis -- led the
markets.
Technology stocks were among the leading issues. The rebound in
semiconductor capital equipment stocks was most impressive. For the industry
leaders, such as Applied Materials, Teradyne, and KLA/Tencor, the drop off in
equipment orders was less than expected and operating margins held up better
than expected. Demand for personal computers has been strong, resulting in
higher capital expenditure at Intel and other semiconductor companies. Compaq
was also a strong performer during the six-month period.
The Finance sector responded enthusiastically to the Federal Reserve's
decision not to raise rates in early April. Financial service companies American
International Group, Travelers Group and Associates First Capital were all up
sharply along with BankAmerica, a new addition to the portfolio, and American
Express, the largest holding at the end of the period.
Encouraging industrial production data drove manufacturing stocks higher.
Asea Brown Bovieri, General Electric and Ingersoll Rand experienced solid gains
during the period.
The healthcare sector was one of the strongest performing areas for the
first six months, and the Portfolio's holdings made positive contributions to
performance. A stream of positive clinical and prescription data on two new
drugs, Rezulin for diabetes, and Lipitor for cholesterol, resulted in a
significant rise in Warner-Lambert's stock price.
Our long-term portfolio strategy is to keep the average price earnings
ratio of your holdings below the overall market level in an effort to reduce the
risk of earnings disappointment and lower the volatility of the portfolio. We
believe our disciplined approach of buying and holding high quality companies,
with sustainable earnings growth and reasonable valuations will continue to
serve shareholders well. Diversification across industries also plays an
important role in the construction of the Portfolio.
Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
The International Portfolio returned 14.09% for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1997. Among its peers, the Portfolio ranked 22nd (top 28%) out of 79
underlying funds in the Variable Life International category according to Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc.
During this period, most global markets provided positive returns against
a strong global economic backdrop, a benign inflation environment, and optimism
that further monetary tightening in the US might be avoided. Despite a stronger
yen, Japanese stocks rallied, driven by signs of economic recovery and
diminished fears of interest rate hikes. In Europe, political uncertainty failed
to dampen investor enthusiasm, though a strong US dollar lessened returns for US
dollar-based investors. France shrugged off the unexpected victory of the
Socialist party, concluding that the new government would accept European
imperatives on European Monetary Union (EMU) and postpone left-wing reforms
discussed during the election period. Despite some volatility, the UK market
welcomed Mr. Blair's new Labour government.
[CALLOUT NEXT TO PRECEDING PARAGRAPH]
We remain cautious on
the smaller bourses of the
Pacific Rim, but Brazil
remains a favorite in the
emerging markets.
In Europe, we are seeing stronger than expected growth with domestic
demand, long dormant, finally showing signs of life. Japan's economy continues
to recover. Though consumption remains weak, there is some evidence of a revival
in domestic demand, deflation has abated, and residential land prices are
stabilizing. Smaller Asian equity markets have suffered over the last couple of
years as a conspiracy of cyclical forces combined to slow growth: restrictive
Asian central bank policy, economic weakness in major export markets Europe and
Japan, and a plunge in electronics and textile sectors. The outlook is mixed
looking forward.
The portfolio remains significantly underweight in Japan and overweight in
Europe. In Europe, we continue to seek companies which are restructuring and
focused on building value for shareholders such as Daimler Benz, Siemens, and
Volkswagen in Germany. We are also invested in companies with effective
strategies, positioning, and products in growth markets like telecommunications
infrastructure provider Nokia in Finland and information technology leader SAP
in Germany. In Japan, we continue to maintain a portfolio tilt towards
high-quality, technology-driven exporters such as Sony, Canon, Hitachi, and
Tokyo Electron.

Your Portfolio Management Team

The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australia, the Far East
(EAFE) & Canada Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted measure of stock
markets in Europe, Australia, the Far East and Canada. Index returns assume
dividends reinvested net of withholding tax and, unlike Fund returns, do not
reflect any fees or expenses.
All performance is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains, and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal
value will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than when purchased. Total returns in some periods were higher due to
maintenance of the Fund's expenses. See Financial Highlights for the
International Portfolio.

*** On May 1, 1993, the Portfolio adopted its present name and investment
objective which is a balance of growth and income, as well as long-term
preservation of capital, from a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed
income securities. Prior to that date, the Portfolio was known as the
Managed Diversified Portfolio and its investment objective was to realize
a high level of long-term total rate of return consistent with prudent
investment risk. The portfolio turnover rate increased due to implementing
the present investment objective. Financial highlights for the seven
periods ended December 31, 1993 should not be considered representative of
the present Portfolio.

* Non-income producing security.
(a) Security valued in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of
Trustees at fair value amounted to $316,536 (.04% of net assets). The
value has been estimated by the Board of Trustees in the absence of
readily ascertainable market values. However, because of the inherent
uncertainty of valuation, the estimated values may differ significantly
from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the
securities existed, and the difference could be material. There was no
cost allocated to the security at June 30, 1997. The security may also
have certain restrictions as to resale.
(b) Securities that have met the foreign-ownership limitation valued at a
premium in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees.
The cost of the security at June 30, 1997 was $736,139. The aggregate
premium ($176,363) over the local share price ($624,037) for the security
valued by the Valuation Committee was approximately .02% of the
Portfolio's net assets at June 30, 1997.
(c) At June 30, 1997, the net unrealized appreciation on investments based on
cost for federal income tax purposes of $641,990,345 was as follows:
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for
all investments in which there is an excess
of market value over tax cost ............................. $248,043,709
Aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for
all investments in which there is an excess
of tax cost over market value ............................. 7,541,523
------------
Net unrealized appreciation ............................... $240,502,186
============
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term
investments), for the six months ended June 30, 1997, aggregated
$167,571,279 and $104,178,357, respectively.

Multiple Classes Of Shares Of Beneficial Interest. The Fund offers one class of
shares for the Money Market Portfolio and two classes of shares (Class A shares
and Class B shares) for the other Portfolios. Class B shares are subject to a
12b-1 fee under the Investment Company Act of 1940, equal to an annual rate of
up to 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Class B shares of the
applicable Portfolio. Class A shares are not subject to such fees. Expenses are
borne pro-rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes
of shares except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including
the applicable 12b-1 fee). In accordance with the Master Distribution Plan, the
12b-1 fees are remitted to the Participating Insurance Companies for various
costs incurred or paid by the Participating Insurance Companies in connection
with the distribution of Class B shares.
The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which require the use of management estimates.
The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the
preparation of the financial statements for its Portfolios.
Security Valuation. The Money Market Portfolio values all securities utilizing
the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and pursuant to which the Portfolio
must adhere to certain conditions. Under this method, which does not take into

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
account unrealized gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially
valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to
maturity of any discount/premium.
Securities in each of the remaining Portfolios are valued in the following
manner:
Portfolio securities which are traded on U.S. or foreign stock exchanges are
valued at the most recent sale price reported on the exchange on which the
security is traded most extensively. If no sale occurred, the security is then
valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations.
If there are no such bid and asked quotations, the most recent bid quotation is
used. Securities quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automatic Quotation ("NASDAQ") System, for which there have been sales, are
valued at the most recent sale price reported on such system. If there are no
such sales, the value is the high or "inside" bid quotation. Securities which
are not quoted on the NASDAQ System but are traded in another over-the-counter
market are valued at the most recent sale price on such market. If no sale
occurred, the security is then valued at the calculated mean between the most
recent bid and asked quotations. If there are no such bid and asked quotations,
the most recent bid quotation shall be used.
Portfolio debt securities with remaining maturities greater than sixty days are
valued by pricing agents approved by the officers of the Fund, which quotations
reflect broker/dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing
techniques. If the pricing agents are unable to provide such quotations, the
most recent bid quotation supplied by a bona fide market maker shall be used.
Short-term investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost.
All other securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
by the Valuation Committee of the Trustees. Their values have been estimated by
the Board of Trustees in the absence of readily ascertainable market values.
However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated
values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a
ready market for the securities existed, and the difference could be material.
Futures Contracts. The non-money market Portfolios may enter into futures
contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an
established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller
agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount of an item at a specified
price on a specific date (settlement date). During the period, the Bond
Portfolio sold interest rate futures to hedge against declines in the value of
portfolio securities. Also, during the period, the Bond Portfolio purchased
interest rate futures to manage the duration of the Portfolio.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with
a financial intermediary an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain
percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent
payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Portfolio each day,
dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and
are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by
the Portfolio. When entering into a closing transaction, the Portfolio will
realize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures
contract to sell and the futures contract to buy. Futures contracts are valued
at the most recent settlement price.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts including the risk
that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Portfolio's ability to close
out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the
value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with changes in the value
of the securities or currencies hedged. When utilizing futures contracts to
hedge, the Portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price
movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract.
Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Portfolios are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into
U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at
the daily rates of exchange, and
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest
income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions.
54

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments
which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to
changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with
the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related
transactions includes gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the sales of foreign
currency, and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends,
interest, and foreign withholding taxes.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange
contract (forward contract) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. During the period, the
non-money market Portfolios utilized forward contracts as a hedge in connection
with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign
currencies and the Global Discovery Portfolio and the International Portfolio
utilized forward contracts as a hedge against changes in exchange rates relating
to foreign currency denominated assets.
Forward contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the
underlying currencies and unrealized gain/loss is recorded daily. Forward
contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain
(loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on
settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the
difference between the value of the forward contract to buy and the forward
contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from
foreign currency related transactions.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally,
when utilizing forward contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to
profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.
Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian,
receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time
of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at
such a level that the market value, depending on the maturity of the repurchase
agreement, is equal to at least 100.5% of the repurchase price.
Federal Income Taxes. Each Portfolio is treated as a single corporate taxpayer
as provided for in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It is each
Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
which are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of
its investment company taxable income to the separate accounts of the
Participating Insurance Companies which hold its shares. Accordingly, the
Portfolios paid no federal income taxes and no provision for federal income
taxes was required.
Distribution of Income and Gains. All of the net investment income of the Money
Market Portfolio is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of the
close of business each day and is paid to shareholders monthly. Dividends from
the Bond Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Growth and Income Portfolio, and the
Capital Growth Portfolio are declared and paid quarterly in April, July, October
and January. All of the net investment income of the Global Discovery Portfolio
and the International Portfolio normally will be declared and distributed as a
dividend annually. During any particular year, net realized gains from
investment transactions for each Portfolio, in excess of available capital loss
carryforwards, would be taxable to the Portfolio if not distributed and,
therefore, will be distributed to the Participating Insurance Companies.
The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains
distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The differences
primarily relate to investments in forward contracts, passive foreign investment
companies, post October loss deferral, non-taxable distributions, and certain
securities sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net
realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may
differ significantly from distributions during such period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Accordingly, the Portfolios may periodically make reclassifications among
certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of each
Portfolio.
The Portfolios use the specific identification method for determining realized
gain or loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting
purposes.
Expenses. Each Portfolio is charged for those expenses which are directly
attributable to it, such as management fees and custodian fees, while other
expenses (reports to shareholders, legal and audit fees) are allocated based on
relative net asset value among the Portfolios.
Other. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All original
issue discounts are accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

operations.
Until April 30, 1998, the Adviser has agreed to waive part or all of its fees
for the Global Discovery Portfolio to the extent that the Portfolio's expenses
will be maintained at 1.50% of average annual net assets.

other Scudder affiliated funds $14,000 annually plus specified amounts for
attended board and committee meetings. The Fund pays each Trustee not affiliated
with the Adviser and who is a Trustee of other Scudder affiliated funds $8,750
annually plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.
Allocated Trustees' fees for each Portfolio for the six months ended June 30,

C. Lines of Credit
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The International Portfolio and several other Funds (the "Participants") share
in a $500 million revolving credit facility for temporary or emergency purposes,
including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the
untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual
commitment fee which is allocated among each of the Participants. Interest is
calculated based on the market rates at the time of the borrowing. The
International Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 25 percent of its net
assets under the agreement. In addition, the International Portfolio also
maintains an uncommitted line of credit.
