SCUDDER EMERGING MARKETS INCOME FUND
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What Are The Fund's Objectives?
Scudder Emerging Markets Income Fund seeks high current
income. Its secondary objective is long-term capital
appreciation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. What Does The Fund Invest In?
The Fund invests primarily (at least 65% of assets) in
high-yield/high risk debt securities issued by governments
and corporations in emerging markets. These securities
generally are rated below investment-grade.
* The Fund may focus its investments in countries in Latin
America.
* The Fund's assets are invested primarily in U.S.
dollar-denominated income-bearing securities issued by
governments or related entities and corporations.
* The weighted average maturity of the Fund's portfolio
will be actively managed and will vary from period to
period.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. What Are The Risks Of Investing In The Fund?
Emerging market securities can be more volatile and less
liquid than securities in more developed markets. Foreign
securities often have less publicly available information
and are subject to different regulations than domestic
securities. Political events, changes in the perceived
creditworthiness of issuers, fluctuating national interest
rates, foreign taxes and movements in foreign currencies
will affect the value of the Fund's holdings, which
determine the Fund's share price. Consequently, the Fund's
share price and yield are likely to vary from day to day.
You incur principal risk when you invest because your
shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than what you
paid for them.
Because it is non-diversified, the Fund may invest in a
small number of issuers, which will subject it to greater
market and credit risk than a diversified fund.
Furthermore, the Fund's holdings in securities rated below
investment-grade carry a greater risk of default and more
price volatility than securities rated investment-grade or
above.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. For Whom Is This Fund Appropriate?
You may wish to consider this Fund if you are seeking high
current income and:
* plan to hold your investment for several years,
* can tolerate fluctuations in share price, and
* have or plan to have other investments for the benefit
of diversification.

5. What Are The Fund's Expenses And Fees?
There are two kinds of expenses that a shareholder may
incur, directly or indirectly, by investing in a mutual
fund. These types of expenses, as they relate to Scudder
Emerging Markets Income Fund, are:
Shareholder transaction expenses -- fees charged directly
to your account for various transactions. Please note that
there is a $5 service fee if you request redemption
proceeds via wire.
Sales Commission None
Distribution Reinvestment Fee None
Redemption Fee None
Exchange Fee None
Annual Fund operating expenses
(after expense maintenance) --
fees paid by the Fund before it distributes its net
investment income, expressed as a percentage of the Fund's
average daily net assets. Figures below are for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1994, during which Scudder
maintained the total annualized expenses of the Fund at
not more than 1.50% of average daily net assets. Had
Scudder not done so, expenses would have amounted to
2.14%, including 1.00% for management fees. Scudder will
continue this expense maintenance until February 29, 1996.
Investment management fee 0.36%
12b-1 fees None
Other expenses 1.14%
-----
Total Fund operating expenses 1.50%
=====
Example: Assuming a 5% annual return and redemption at the
end of each period, the total expenses relating to a
$1,000 investment would be:
One Year $15
Three Years $47
Five Years $82
Ten Years $179
This example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions and that the total Fund operating expenses
listed above remain the same each year. This example
should not be considered a representation of past or
future expenses or return. Actual Fund expenses and return
vary from year to year and may be higher or lower than
those shown.
