SUMMARY
    
 
   
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES.  Investors Cash Trust (the "Fund") is an open-end
diversified management investment company. The Fund currently offers a choice of
two investment portfolios; the Government Securities Portfolio and the Treasury
Portfolio ("Portfolios"). Each Portfolio invests in a portfolio of high quality
short-term money market instruments consistent with its specific objective. Each
Portfolio seeks maximum current income to the extent consistent with stability
of capital. The Government Securities Portfolio invests exclusively in U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and bonds and other obligations issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements
of such obligations. The Treasury Portfolio invests exclusively in obligations
issued by the U.S. Government and repurchase agreements of such obligations.
Each Portfolio seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is
no assurance that the objective of either Portfolio will be achieved or that
either Portfolio will be able to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.
See "Investment Objectives and Policies."
    
 
   
INVESTMENT MANAGER AND SERVICES.  Kemper Financial Services, Inc. (the
"Adviser") is the investment manager for the Fund and provides the Fund with
continuous professional investment supervision. KFS is paid an annual investment
management fee, payable monthly, of .15 of 1% of the combined average daily net
assets of each Portfolio. Kemper Distributors, Inc. ("KDI", the "Underwriter" or
the "Administrator"), an affiliate of KFS, is the principal underwriter of the
Fund and, as such, acts as agent of the Fund in the sale of its shares. KDI also
serves as Administrator and, as such, provides information and services for
existing and potential shareholders. The Administrator receives an
administration services fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of .10 of 1% of
average daily net assets of each Portfolio. The Administrator normally pays
financial services firms that provide administrative services for their
customers at an annual rate that ranges between .05% and .10% of average net
assets of those Fund accounts that they maintain and service. See "Investment
Manager and Services."
    
 
   
PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS.  Shares of each Portfolio are available at net asset
value through selected financial services firms. The minimum initial investment
for each Portfolio is $1 million. See "Purchase of Shares." Shares may be
redeemed at the net asset value next determined after receipt by the Fund's
Shareholder Service Agent of a request to redeem in proper form. Shares may be
redeemed by written request or by using one of the Fund's expedited redemption
procedures. See "Redemption of Shares."
    
 
   
DIVIDENDS. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends are
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same Portfolio, unless the
shareholder makes a different election. See "Dividends and Taxes."
    
 
   
GENERAL INFORMATION AND CAPITAL.  The Fund is organized as a business trust
under the laws of Massachusetts and may issue an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable when issued, are
transferable without restriction and have no preemptive or conversion rights.
The Fund is not required to hold annual shareholder meetings; but will hold
special meetings as required or deemed desirable for such purposes as electing
trustees, changing fundamental policies or approving an investment management
agreement. See "Capital Structure."

The purpose of the preceding table is to assist investors in understanding the
various costs and expenses that an investor in a Portfolio will bear directly or
indirectly. As discussed more fully under "Investment Manager and Services," the
Adviser has agreed to temporarily waive its management fee and reimburse or pay
operating expenses of each Portfolio to the extent that such expenses, as
defined, exceed .25% of average daily net assets of the Portfolio. Without such
waiver and reimbursement during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995,
"Management Fees" would have been .15% and .15% and "Total Operating Expenses"
would have been .33% and .39% for the Government Securities Portfolio and
Treasury Portfolio, respectively. See "Investment Manager and Services" in the
Statement of Additional Information for more information regarding fees. The
Example assumes a 5% annual rate of return pursuant to requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. This hypothetical rate of return is not
intended to be representative of past or future performance of any Portfolio of
the Fund. The Example should not be considered to be a representation of past or
future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or lesser than those shown.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
 
The Fund is a money market mutual fund designed primarily for state and local
governments and related agencies, school districts, and other tax-exempt
organizations to invest the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds and working capital.
The Fund seeks to provide liquidity and maximum current income available from
short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund provides investors with
professional management of short-term investment dollars. The Fund is a series
investment company that provides investors with a choice of separate investment
portfolios ("Portfolios"). It currently offers two Portfolios: the Government
Securities Portfolio and the Treasury Portfolio. Because each Portfolio combines
its shareholders' money, it can buy and sell large blocks of securities, which
reduces transaction costs and increases yields. A Portfolio's investments are
subject to price fluctuations resulting from rising or declining interest rates.
Because of their short maturities, liquidity and high quality, short-term U.S.
Government securities, such as those in which the Portfolios invest, are
generally considered to be the safest available. The Government guarantee of the
securities owned by the Portfolios, however, does not guarantee the net asset
value of the Portfolios' shares. There can be no assurance that a Portfolio will
achieve its objective or that it will maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per
share.
 
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO.  The Government Securities Portfolio seeks
maximum current income consistent with stability of capital. The Portfolio
pursues its objective by investing exclusively in U.S. Treasury bills, notes,
bonds and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements of such obligations. All
securities purchased mature in 12 months or less. Some securities issued by U.S.
Government agencies or instrumentalities are supported only by the credit of the
agency or instrumentality, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank;
and others have an additional line of credit with the U.S. Treasury, such as
those issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and Farm Credit
System. Also, as to securities supported only by the credit of the issuing
agency or instrumentality or by an additional line of credit with the U.S.
Treasury, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Government will provide support to
such agencies or instrumentalities and such securities may involve risk of loss
of principal and interest. The Portfolio's investments in obligations issued or
guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities currently are
limited to those issued or guaranteed by the following entities: Federal Land
Bank, Farm Credit System, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage
Association and Export-Import Credit Bank. The foregoing list of acceptable
entities is subject to change by action of the Fund's Board of Trustees;
however, the Fund will provide written notice to shareholders at least sixty
(60) days before any purchase by the Portfolio of obligations issued or
guaranteed by an entity not named above.
 
                                        3

TREASURY PORTFOLIO. The Treasury Portfolio seeks maximum current income
consistent with stability of capital. The Portfolio pursues its objective by
investing exclusively in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds and other obligations
issued by the U.S. Government and related repurchase agreements. All securities
purchased mature in 12 months or less. The payment of principal and interest on
the securities in the Fund's portfolio is backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Government. See "The Fund" for information regarding repurchase
agreements.
 
   
THE FUND. Repurchase agreements are instruments under which a Portfolio acquires
ownership of a U.S. Government security from a broker-dealer or bank that agrees
to repurchase the U.S. Government security at a mutually agreed upon time and
price (which price is higher than the purchase price), thereby determining the
yield during the Portfolio's holding period. Maturity of the securities subject
to repurchase may exceed one year. In the event of a bankruptcy or other default
of a seller of a repurchase agreement, a Portfolio might incur expenses in
enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the
value of the underlying securities and loss of income. Currently, a Portfolio
will only enter into repurchase agreements with primary U.S. Government
securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that have
been approved pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the
Fund. A Portfolio will not purchase illiquid securities including repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days if, as a result thereof, more than
10% of a Portfolio's net assets valued at the time of the transaction would be
invested in such securities.
    
 
A Portfolio may invest in U.S. Government securities having rates of interest
that are adjusted periodically or which "float" continuously according to
formulae intended to minimize fluctuation in values of the instruments
("Variable Rate Securities"). The interest rate of Variable Rate Securities
ordinarily is determined by reference to or is a percentage of an objective
standard such as a bank's prime rate, the 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate, or the
rate of return on commercial paper or bank certificates of deposit. Generally,
the changes in the interest rate on Variable Rate Securities reduce the
fluctuation in the market value of such securities. Accordingly, as interest
rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or
depreciation is less than for fixed-rate obligations. Some Variable Rate
Securities ("Variable Rate Demand Securities") have a demand feature entitling
the purchaser to resell the securities at an amount approximately equal to
amortized cost or the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. As is the
case for other Variable Rate Securities, the interest rate on Variable Rate
Demand Securities varies according to some objective standard intended to
minimize fluctuation in the values of the instruments. Each Portfolio determines
the maturity of Variable Rate Securities in accordance with Securities and
Exchange Commission rules that allow the Portfolio to consider certain of such
instruments as having maturities shorter than the maturity date on the face of
the instrument.
 
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
 
The Fund has adopted for the Government Securities Portfolio and Treasury
Portfolio certain investment restrictions which, together with the investment
objective and policies of each Portfolio, cannot be changed for a Portfolio
without approval by holders of a majority of its outstanding voting shares. As
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, this means the lesser of the vote
of (a) 67% of the Portfolio's shares present at a meeting where more than 50% of
the outstanding shares of the Portfolio are present in person or by proxy; or
(b) more than 50% of the Portfolio's outstanding shares.
 
Each Portfolio may not:
 
(1) Make loans to others (except through the purchase of debt obligations or
repurchase agreements in accordance with its investment objective and
policies).
 
(2) Borrow money except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency
purposes and then only in an amount up to one-third of the value of its total
assets, in order to meet redemption requests without immediately selling any
money market instruments (any such borrowings under this section will not be
collateralized). If, for any reason, the current value of the Portfolio's total
assets falls below an amount equal to three times the amount of its indebtedness
from money borrowed, the Portfolio will, within three days (not including
Sundays and holidays),
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   8
 
reduce its indebtedness to the extent necessary. The Portfolio will not borrow
for leverage purposes and will not purchase securities or make investments while
borrowings are outstanding. (The Fund has no present intention of borrowing
during the coming year.)
 
(3) Underwrite securities issued by others except to the extent the Portfolio
may be deemed to be an underwriter, under the federal securities laws, in
connection with the disposition of portfolio securities.
 
(4) Issue senior securities as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
 
(5) Make short sales of securities, or purchase any securities on margin except
to obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of
transactions.
 
(6) Write, purchase or sell puts, calls or combinations thereof.
 
(7) Concentrate more than 25% of the value of the Portfolio's assets in any one
industry; provided, however, that the Portfolio reserves freedom of action to
invest up to 100% of its assets in U.S. Government securities in accordance with
its investment objective and policies.
 
(8) Invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts.
 
The Government Securities Portfolio may not:
 
(1) Purchase any securities other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements of
such obligations.
 
The Treasury Portfolio may not:
 
(1) Purchase any securities other than obligations issued by the U.S. Government
and repurchase agreements of such obligations.
 
NET ASSET VALUE
 
Portfolio shares are sold at their net asset value next determined after an
order and payment are received in the form described under "Purchase of Shares."
The net asset value of each Portfolio's shares is calculated by dividing the
total assets of the Portfolio less its liabilities by the total number of shares
outstanding. The net asset value per share of each Portfolio is determined on
each day the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange") is open for trading, at 11:00
a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Chicago time, and on each other day on which there
is a sufficient degree of trading in each Portfolio's investments that its net
asset value might be affected, except that the net asset value will not be
computed on a day on which no orders to purchase shares were received and no
shares were tendered for redemption. Each Portfolio seeks to maintain a net
asset value of $1.00 per share.
 
Each Portfolio values its portfolio instruments at amortized cost in accordance
with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which means that they
are valued at their acquisition cost, as adjusted for amortization of premium or
accretion of discount, rather than at current market value. Calculations are
made to compare the value of each Portfolio's investments valued at amortized
cost with market-based values. Market-based valuations are obtained by using
actual quotations provided by market makers, estimates of market value, or
values obtained from yield data relating to classes of money market instruments
published by reputable sources at the mean between the bid and asked prices for
the instruments. If a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more were to occur between the
net asset value per share calculated by reference to market-based values and
each Portfolio's $1.00 per share net asset value, or if there were any other
deviation which the Board of Trustees of the Fund believed would result in a
material dilution to shareholders or purchasers, the Board of Trustees would
promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated. In order to value
its investments at amortized cost, each Portfolio purchases only securities with
a maturity of one year or less and maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio
maturity of 90 days or less.
 
                                        5

PURCHASE OF SHARES
 
Shares of each Portfolio are sold at net asset value with no sales charge
through selected financial services firms, such as broker-dealers and banks
("firms"). Investors must indicate the Portfolio in which they wish to invest.
The minimum initial investment for each Portfolio is $1 million but such minimum
amount may be changed at any time in management's discretion. Subsequent
investments may be made in any amount. Firms offering Fund shares may set higher
minimums for accounts they service and may change such minimums at their
discretion.
 
   
The Fund seeks to have its Portfolios as fully invested as possible at all times
in order to achieve maximum income. Since each Portfolio will be investing in
instruments that normally require immediate payment in Federal Funds (monies
credited to a bank's account with its regional Federal Reserve Bank), the Fund
has adopted procedures for the convenience of its shareholders and to ensure
that each Portfolio receives investable funds. Orders for purchase of shares of
a Portfolio received by wire transfer in the form of Federal Funds will be
effected at the next determined net asset value. Shares purchased by wire will
receive that day's dividend if effected at or prior to the 1:00 p.m. Chicago
time net asset value determination, otherwise such shares will receive the
dividend for the next business day. Orders for purchase accompanied by a check
or other negotiable bank draft will be accepted and effected as of 3:00 p.m.
Chicago time on the next business day following receipt and such shares will
receive the dividend for the next business day following the day when the
purchase is effected. If an order is accompanied by a check drawn on a foreign
bank, funds must normally be collected on such check before shares will be
purchased. See "Purchase and Redemption of Shares" in the Statement of
Additional Information.
    
 
   
If payment is wired in Federal Funds, the payment should be directed to State
Street Bank and Trust Company, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110,
the sub-custodian for the Fund. If payment is to be wired, call the firm from
which you received this prospectus for proper instructions.
    
 
CLIENTS OF FIRMS. Firms provide varying arrangements for their clients with
respect to the purchase and redemption of Fund shares and the confirmation
thereof. Such firms are responsible for the prompt transmission of purchase and
redemption orders. Some firms may establish higher minimum investment
requirements than set forth above. A firm may arrange with its clients for other
investment or administrative services. Such firms may independently establish
and charge additional amounts to their clients for such services, which charges
would reduce the clients' yield or return. Firms may also hold Fund shares in
nominee or street name as agent for and on behalf of their clients. In such
instances, the Fund's transfer agent will have no information with respect to or
control over the accounts of specific shareholders. Such shareholders may obtain
access to their accounts and information about their accounts only from their
firm. Certain of these firms may receive compensation from the Fund's
Shareholder Service Agent for recordkeeping and other expenses relating to these
nominee accounts. In addition, certain privileges with respect to the purchase
and redemption of shares (such as check writing redemptions) or the reinvestment
of dividends may not be available through such firms or may only be available
subject to conditions and limitations. Some firms may participate in a program
allowing them access to their clients' accounts for servicing including, without
limitation, transfers of registration and dividend payee changes; and may
perform functions such as generation of confirmation statements and disbursement
of cash dividends. The prospectus should be read in connection with such firm's
material regarding its fees and services.
 
OTHER INFORMATION. The Fund reserves the right to withdraw all or any part of
the offering made by this prospectus or to reject purchase orders without prior
notice. All orders to purchase shares are subject to acceptance by the Fund and
are not binding until confirmed or accepted in writing. Any purchase that would
result in total account balances for a single shareholder in excess of $3
million is subject to prior approval by the Fund. Share certificates are issued
only on request to the Fund. A $10 service fee will be charged when a check for
purchase of shares is returned because of insufficient or uncollected funds or a
stop payment order.
 
Shareholders should direct their inquiries to the firm from which they received
this prospectus or to Kemper Service Company, the Fund's "Shareholder Service
Agent," 811 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105-2005.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES
 
   
GENERAL. Upon receipt by the Shareholder Service Agent of a request in the form
described below, shares of a Portfolio will be redeemed by the Fund at the next
determined net asset value. If processed at 3:00 p.m. Chicago time, the
shareholder will receive that day's dividend. A shareholder may use either the
regular or expedited redemption procedures. Shareholders who redeem all their
shares of a Portfolio will receive the net asset value of such shares and all
declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.
    
 
If shares of a Portfolio to be redeemed were purchased by check or through an
Automated Clearing House ("ACH") transaction, the Fund may delay transmittal of
redemption proceeds until it has determined that collected funds have been
received for the purchase of such shares, which will be up to 15 days from
receipt by the Fund of the purchase amount. Shareholders may not use expedited
redemption procedures (wire transfer or Redemption Check) until the shares being
redeemed have been owned for at least 15 days and shareholders may not use such
procedures to redeem shares held in certificated form. There is no delay when
shares being redeemed were purchased by wiring Federal Funds.
 
If shares being redeemed were acquired from an exchange of shares of a mutual
fund that were offered subject to a contingent deferred sales charge as
described in the prospectus for that other fund, the redemption of such shares
by the Fund may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge as explained in
such prospectus.
 
Shareholders can request the following telephone privileges: expedited wire
transfer redemptions, ACH transactions and exchange transactions for individual
and institutional accounts and pre-authorized telephone redemption transactions
for certain institutional accounts. Shareholders may choose these privileges on
the account application or by contacting the Shareholder Service Agent for
appropriate instructions. Please note that the telephone exchange privilege is
automatic unless the shareholder refuses it on the account application. Neither
the Fund nor its agents will be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out
of any telephone request pursuant to these privileges, including any fraudulent
or unauthorized request, and THE SHAREHOLDER WILL BEAR THE RISK OF LOSS, so long
as the Fund or its agent reasonably believes, based upon reasonable verification
procedures, that the telephonic instructions are genuine. The verification
procedures include recording instructions, requiring certain identifying
information before acting upon instructions and sending written confirmations.
 
Because of the high cost of maintaining small accounts, the Fund reserves the
right to redeem an account that falls below the minimum investment level. Thus,
a shareholder who makes only the minimum initial investment and then redeems any
portion thereof might have the account redeemed. A shareholder will be notified
in writing and will be allowed 60 days to make additional purchases to bring the
account value up to the minimum investment level before the Fund redeems the
shareholder account.
 
Firms provide varying arrangements for their clients to redeem Fund shares. Such
firms may independently establish and charge amounts to their clients for such
services.
 
REGULAR REDEMPTIONS.  When shares are held for the account of a shareholder by
the Fund's transfer agent, the shareholder may redeem them by sending a written
request with signatures guaranteed to Kemper Service Company, P.O. Box 419153,
Kansas City, Missouri 64141-6153. When certificates for shares have been issued,
they must be mailed to or deposited with the Shareholder Service Agent, along
with a duly endorsed stock power and accompanied by a written request for
redemption. Redemption requests and a stock power must be endorsed by the
account holder with signatures guaranteed by a commercial bank, trust company,
savings and loan association, federal savings bank, member firm of a national
securities exchange or other eligible financial institution. The redemption
request and stock power must be signed exactly as the account is registered
including any special capacity of the registered owner. Additional documentation
may be requested, and a signature guarantee is normally required, from
institutional and fiduciary account holders, such as corporations, custodians
(e.g., under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act), executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians.
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   11
 
   
TELEPHONE REDEMPTIONS.  If the proceeds of the redemption are $50,000 or less
and the proceeds are payable to the shareholder of record at the address of
record, normally a telephone request or a written request by any one account
holder without a signature guarantee is sufficient for redemptions by individual
or joint account holders, and trust, executor and guardian account holders
(excluding custodial accounts for gifts and transfers to minors) provided the
trustee, executor or guardian is named in the account registration. Other
institutional account holders and guardian account holders of custodial accounts
for gifts and transfers to minors may exercise this special privilege of
redeeming shares by telephone request or written request without signature
guarantee subject to the same conditions as individual account holders and
subject to the limitations on liability described under "General" above,
provided that this privilege has been pre-authorized by the institutional
account holder or guardian account holder by written instruction to the
Shareholder Service Agent with signatures guaranteed. Telephone requests may be
made by calling 1-800-231-8568. Shares purchased by check or through an ACH
transaction may not be redeemed under this privilege of redeeming shares by
telephone request until such shares have been owned for at least 15 days. This
privilege of redeeming shares by telephone request or by written request without
a signature guarantee may not be used to redeem shares held in certificated form
and may not be used if the shareholder's account has had an address change
within 30 days of the redemption request. During periods when it is difficult to
contact the Shareholder Service Agent by telephone, it may be difficult to use
the telephone redemption privilege, although investors can still redeem by mail.
The Fund reserves the right to terminate or modify this privilege at any time.
    
 
EXPEDITED WIRE TRANSFER REDEMPTIONS.  If the account holder has given
authorization for expedited wire redemption to the account holder's brokerage or
bank account, shares can be redeemed and proceeds sent by a federal wire
transfer to a single previously designated account. Requests received by the
Shareholder Service Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. Chicago time will result in shares
being redeemed that day and normally the proceeds will be sent to the designated
account that day. Once authorization is on file, the Shareholder Service Agent
will honor requests by telephone at 1-800-231-8568 or in writing, subject to the
limitations on liability described under "General" above. The Fund is not
responsible for the efficiency of the federal wire system or the account
holder's financial services firm or bank. The Fund currently does not charge the
account holder for wire transfers. The account holder is responsible for any
charges imposed by the account holder's firm or bank. There is a $1,000 wire
redemption minimum. To change the designated account to receive wire redemption
proceeds, send a written request to the Shareholder Service Agent with
signatures guaranteed as described above, or to contact the firm through which
shares of the Fund were purchased. Shares purchased by check or through an ACH
transaction may not be redeemed by wire transfer until the shares have been
owned for at least 15 days. Account holders may not use this procedure to redeem
shares held in certificated form. During periods when it is difficult to contact
the Shareholder Service Agent by telephone, it may be difficult to use the
expedited redemption privilege. The Fund reserves the right to terminate or
modify this privilege at any time.
 
EXPEDITED REDEMPTIONS BY DRAFT.  Upon request, shareholders will be provided
with drafts to be drawn on the Fund ("Redemption Checks"). These Redemption
Checks may be made payable to the order of any person for not more than $5
million. Shareholders should not write Redemption Checks in an amount less than
$250 since a $10 service fee will be charged as described below. When a
Redemption Check is presented for payment, a sufficient number of full and
fractional shares in the shareholder's account will be redeemed as of the next
determined net asset value to cover the amount of the Redemption Check. This
will enable the shareholder to continue earning dividends until the Fund
receives the Redemption Check. A shareholder wishing to use this method of
redemption must complete and file an Account Application which is available from
the Fund or firms through which shares were purchased. Redemption Checks should
not be used to close an account since the account normally includes accrued but
unpaid dividends. The Fund reserves the right to terminate or modify this
privilege at any time. This privilege may not be available through some firms
that distribute shares of the Fund. In addition, firms may impose minimum
balance requirements in order to offer this feature. Firms may also impose fees
to investors for this privilege or establish variations of minimum check amounts
if approved by the Fund.
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   12
 
Unless one signer is authorized on the Account Application, Redemption Checks
must be signed by all account holders. Any change in the signature authorization
must be made by written notice to the Shareholder Service Agent. Shares
purchased by check or through an ACH transaction may not be redeemed by
Redemption Check until the shares have been on the Fund's books for at least 15
days. Shareholders may not use this procedure to redeem shares held in
certificated form. The Fund reserves the right to terminate or modify this
privilege at any time.
 
The Fund may refuse to honor Redemption Checks whenever the right of redemption
has been suspended or postponed, or whenever the account is otherwise impaired.
A $10 service fee will be charged when a Redemption Check is presented to redeem
Fund shares in excess of the value of a Fund account or in an amount less than
$250; when a Redemption Check is presented that would require redemption of
shares that were purchased by check or ACH transaction within 15 days; or when
"stop payment" of a Redemption Check is requested.
 
   
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE. Information about an exchange privilege with other mutual
funds managed by the Fund's Adviser is contained in the Statement of Additional
Information; and further information may be obtained without charge from the
Adviser.
    
 
DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
 
DIVIDENDS. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Shareholders may
select one of the following ways to receive dividends:
 
1. RECEIVE DIVIDENDS IN CASH. Checks will be mailed monthly, within five
business days of the reinvestment date (described below), to the shareholder or
any person designated by the shareholder. At the option of the shareholder, cash
dividends may be sent by Federal Funds wire. Shareholders may request to have
dividends sent by wire on the Account Application or by contacting the
Shareholder Service Agent (see "Purchase of Shares"). Dividends will be received
in cash unless the shareholder elects to have them reinvested.
 
2. REINVEST DIVIDENDS at net asset value into additional shares of the same
Portfolio if so requested. Dividends are reinvested on the 1st day of each month
if a business day, otherwise on the next business day.
 
TAXES. Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, if so
qualified, will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent its
earnings are distributed. Dividends derived from interest and short-term capital
gains are taxable as ordinary income whether received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares. Dividends from a Portfolio do not qualify for the dividends
received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
 
Dividends declared in October, November or December to shareholders of record as
of a date in one of those months and paid during the following January are
treated as paid on December 31 of the calendar year in which declared for
federal income tax purposes. The Fund may adjust its schedule for dividend
reinvestment for the month of December to assist it in complying with reporting
and minimum distribution requirements contained in the Code.
 
The Code restricts the ability to invest tax-exempt bond proceeds at yields
materially higher than the yield on the issue. Tax advisers should be consulted
before investing tax-exempt bond proceeds in a Portfolio.
 
Portfolio dividends that are derived from interest on direct obligations of the
U.S. Government and certain of its agencies and instrumentalities may be exempt
from state and local taxes in certain states. In other states, arguments can be
made that such distributions should be exempt from state and local taxes based
on federal law, 31 U.S.C. Section 3124, and the U.S. Supreme Court's
interpretation of that provision in American Bank and Trust Co. v. Dallas
County, 463 U.S. 855 (1983). The Fund currently intends to advise shareholders
of the proportion of its dividends that consists of such interest. Shareholders
should consult their tax advisers regarding the possible exclusion of such
portion of their dividends for state and local income tax purposes.
 
   
Each Portfolio is required by law to withhold 31% of taxable dividends paid to
certain shareholders who do not furnish a correct taxpayer identification number
(in the case of individuals, a social security number) and in certain
    
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   13
 
other circumstances. Trustees of qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7)
accounts are required by law to withhold 20% of the taxable portion of any
distribution that is eligible to be "rolled over." The 20% withholding
requirement does not apply to distributions from IRAs or any part of a
distribution that is transferred directly to another qualified retirement plan,
403(b)(7) account, or IRA. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers
regarding the 20% withholding requirements.
 
Shareholders normally will receive monthly confirmations of dividends and of
purchase and redemption transactions except that confirmations of dividend
reinvestment for fiduciary accounts for which Investors Fiduciary Trust Company
serves as trustee will be sent quarterly. Firms may provide varying arrangements
with their clients with respect to confirmations. Tax information will be
provided annually. Shareholders are encouraged to retain copies of their account
confirmation statements or year-end statements for tax reporting purposes.
However, those who have incomplete records may obtain historical account
transaction information at a reasonable fee.
 
INVESTMENT MANAGER AND SERVICES
 
   
INVESTMENT MANAGER. Kemper Financial Services, Inc. (the "Adviser"), 120 South
LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kemper
Financial Companies, Inc. ("KFC"), is the investment manager of the Fund and
provides the Fund with continuous professional investment supervision. The
Adviser is one of the largest investment managers in the country and has been
engaged in the management of investment funds for more than forty-five years.
The Adviser and its affiliates provide investment advice and manage investment
portfolios for the Kemper Funds, the Kemper insurance companies, Kemper
Corporation and other corporate, pension, profit-sharing and individual accounts
representing approximately $60 billion under management including $13 billion in
money market fund assets. The Adviser acts as investment adviser for 24 open-end
and seven closed-end investment companies, with 60 separate investment
portfolios representing more than 3 million shareholder accounts. KFC is a
financial services holding company that is more than 99% owned by Kemper
Corporation, a diversified insurance and financial services holding company.
    
 
   
Kemper Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement with an investor
group led by Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich") pursuant to which Kemper
Corporation would be acquired by the investor group in a merger transaction. As
part of the transaction, Zurich or an affiliate would purchase the Adviser. The
Kemper Corporation and Zurich boards have approved the transaction.
    
 
   
Consummation of the transaction is subject to a number of contingencies,
including approval by the stockholders of Kemper Corporation and regulatory
approvals. Because the transaction would constitute an assignment of the Fund's
investment management agreement with the Adviser under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, and therefore a termination of such agreement, the Adviser has
received approval of a new investment management agreement from the Fund's board
and is seeking approval from the Fund's shareholders prior to the consummation
of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter
of 1995 or early in 1996.
    
 
   
Responsibility for overall management of the Fund rests with its Board of
Trustees and officers. Professional investment supervision is provided by the
Adviser. The investment management agreement provides that the Adviser shall act
as the Fund's investment adviser, manage its investments and provide it with
various services and facilities. For the services and facilities furnished to
the Government Securities and Treasury Portfolios, the Fund pays an annual
investment management fee, payable monthly, of .15% of the combined average
daily net assets of the Portfolios. Prior to December 1, 1993, the Fund paid the
management fee under a different fee schedule. The Adviser has agreed to
temporarily waive its management fee and absorb or pay each Portfolio's
operating expenses to the extent that they exceed .25% of average daily net
assets of the Portfolio on an annual basis. For this purpose, "Portfolio
operating expenses" do not include taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses,
brokerage commissions or transaction costs. Upon notice to the Fund, the Adviser
may terminate this waiver or expense absorption with respect to a Portfolio at
any time.
    
 
   
UNDERWRITER. Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, Kemper Distributors, Inc.
(the "Underwriter" or the "Administrator"), 120 South LaSalle Street, Chicago,
Illinois 60603, an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the
    
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   14
 
   
principal underwriter of the Fund's shares. The Underwriter receives no
compensation from the Fund as principal underwriter and pays all expenses of
distribution of the Fund's shares under the underwriting agreement not otherwise
paid by dealers or other financial services firms.
    
 
   
ADMINISTRATOR. Pursuant to an administrative services agreement ("administrative
agreement"), the Administrator provides information and administrative services
for shareholders. Before February 1, 1995, the Adviser was the administrator for
the Fund. The administrative agreement provides that the Administrator shall
appoint various financial services firms ("firms"), such as broker-dealers and
banks, to provide administrative services for their customers or clients who are
shareholders of the Fund. The firms are to provide such office space and
equipment, telephone facilities and personnel as is necessary or appropriate for
providing information and services to Fund shareholders. If the Glass-Steagall
Act should prevent banking firms from acting in any capacity or providing any of
the described services, management will consider what action, if any, is
appropriate. Management does not believe that termination of a relationship with
a bank would result in any material adverse consequences to the Fund. Banks or
other financial services firms may be subject to various state laws regarding
the services described above and may be required to register as dealers pursuant
to state law. The Fund has agreed to pay the Administrator an annual
administrative services fee under the administrative agreement, payable monthly,
of .10% of average daily net assets of each Portfolio. The Administrator may
elect to keep a portion of the total administrative fee to compensate itself for
administrative functions performed for the Fund. However, as reflected above,
the Adviser has agreed to temporarily waive its management fee and reimburse or
pay certain operating expenses of each Portfolio. The Administrator normally
pays firms a monthly service fee at an annual rate that ranges between .05% and
 .10% of average net assets of those Fund accounts that they maintain and
service.
    
 
   
CUSTODIAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICE AGENT. Investors Fiduciary Trust Company
("IFTC"), 127 West 10th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105, as custodian, and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02110, as sub-custodian, have custody of all securities and cash of the Fund.
They attend to the collection of principal and income, and payment for and
collection of proceeds of securities bought and sold by the Fund. IFTC also is
the Fund's transfer and dividend-paying agent. Pursuant to a services agreement
with IFTC, Kemper Service Company, 811 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105,
an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as Shareholder Service Agent of the Fund.
    
 
PERFORMANCE
 
From time to time, the Fund may advertise several types of performance
information for a Portfolio, including "yield" and "effective yield." Each of
these figures is based upon historical earnings and is not necessarily
representative of the future performance of a Portfolio. The yield of a
Portfolio refers to the net investment income generated by a hypothetical
investment in the Portfolio over a specific seven-day period. This net
investment income is then annualized, which means that the net investment income
generated during the seven-day period is assumed to be generated each week over
an annual period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The effective
yield is calculated similarly, but the net investment income earned by the
investment is assumed to be compounded when annualized. The effective yield will
be slightly higher than the yield due to this compounding effect.
 
   
The performance of a Portfolio may be compared to that of other money market
mutual funds or mutual fund indexes as reported by independent mutual fund
reporting services such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. A Portfolio's
performance and its relative size may be compared to other money market mutual
funds as reported by IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R) or Money Market
Insight(R), reporting services on money market funds. Investors may want to
compare a Portfolio's performance to that of various bank products as reported
by BANK RATE MONITORTM, a financial reporting service that weekly publishes
average rates of bank and thrift institution money market deposit accounts and
interest bearing checking accounts or various certificate of deposit indexes.
The performance of a Portfolio also may be compared to that of U.S. Treasury
bills and notes. Certain of these alternative investments may offer fixed rates
of return and guaranteed principal and may be insured. In addition, investors
may
    
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   15
 
want to compare the Fund's performance to the Consumer Price Index either
directly or by calculating its "real rate of return," which is adjusted for the
effects of inflation.
 
The Fund may quote information from publications such as Morningstar, Inc., The
Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine, Forbes, Barron's, Fortune, The Chicago
Tribune, USA Today, Institutional Investor and Registered Representative. The
Fund may depict the historical performance of the securities in which the Fund
may invest over periods reflecting a variety of market or economic conditions
either alone or in comparison with alternative investments performance indexes
of those investments or economic indicators. The Fund may also describe its
portfolio holdings and depict its size or relative size compared to other mutual
funds, the number and make-up of its shareholder base and other descriptive
factors concerning the Fund.
 
Each Portfolio's yield will fluctuate. Shares of the Fund are not insured.
Additional information concerning a Portfolio's performance appears in the
Statement of Additional Information.
 
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
 
   
The Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company, organized as
a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on March 2, 1990. The Fund may
issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest in one or more series
or "Portfolios," all having no par value, which may be divided by the Board of
Trustees into classes of shares, subject to compliance with the Securities and
Exchange Commission regulations permitting the creation of separate classes of
shares. The Fund's shares are not currently divided into classes. While only
shares of the "Government Securities Portfolio" and "Treasury Portfolio" are
presently being offered, the Board of Trustees may authorize the issuance of
additional Portfolios if deemed desirable, each with its own investment
objective, policies and restrictions. Since the Fund offers multiple Portfolios,
it is known as a "series company." Shares of each Portfolio have equal
noncumulative voting rights and equal rights with respect to dividends, assets
and liquidation of such Portfolio subject to any preferences, rights or
privileges of any classes of shares within the Portfolio. Generally each class
of shares issued by a particular Portfolio would differ as to the allocation of
certain expenses of the Portfolio such as distribution and administrative
expenses, permitting, among other things, different levels of services or
methods of distribution among various classes. Shares are fully paid and
nonassessable when issued, are transferable without restriction and have no
preemptive or conversion rights. As of July 14, 1995, Clark County Nevada,
Treasurer owned more than 25% of the outstanding shares of each Portfolio and
may be deemed a control person of the Portfolios of the Fund. The Fund is not
required to hold annual shareholders' meetings and does not intend to do so.
However, it will hold special meetings as required or deemed desirable for such
purposes as electing trustees, changing fundamental policies or approving an
investment management agreement. Subject to the Agreement and Declaration of
Trust of the Fund, shareholders may remove trustees. Shareholders will vote by
Portfolio and not in the aggregate or by class except when voting in the
aggregate is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, such as for the
election of trustees, or when the Board of Trustees determines that voting by
class is appropriate.

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND SERVICES
 
   
INVESTMENT MANAGER. Kemper Financial Services, Inc. (the "Adviser") is the
Fund's investment manager. Pursuant to an investment management agreement, the
Adviser acts as the Fund's investment adviser, manages its investments,
administers its business affairs, furnishes office facilities and equipment,
provides clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services and permits any of
its officers or employees to serve without compensation as trustees or officers
of the Fund if elected to such positions. The Fund pays the expenses of its
operations, including the fees and expenses of independent auditors, counsel,
custodian and transfer agent and the cost of share certificates, reports and
notices to shareholders, costs of calculating net asset value, brokerage
commissions or transaction costs, taxes, registration fees, the fees and
expenses of qualifying the Fund and its shares for distribution under federal
and state securities laws and membership dues in the Investment Company
Institute or any similar organization. The Fund's expenses generally are
allocated between the Portfolios on the basis of relative net assets at the time
of allocation, except that expenses directly attributable to a particular
Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio.
    
 
The agreement provides that the Adviser shall not be liable for any error of
judgment or of law, or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the
matters to which the agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in the
performance of its obligations and duties, or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement.
 
The investment management agreement continues in effect from year to year so
long as its continuation is approved at least annually by a majority vote of the
trustees who are not parties to such agreement or interested persons of any such
party except in their capacity as trustees of the Fund, cast in person at a
meeting called for such purpose, and by the shareholders of each Portfolio or
the Board of Trustees. If continuation is not approved for a Portfolio, the
investment management agreement nevertheless may continue in effect for any
Portfolio for which it is approved and the Adviser may continue to serve as
investment manager for the Portfolio for which it is not approved to the extent
permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It may be terminated at any
time upon 60 days' notice by either party, or by a majority vote of the
outstanding shares, and will terminate automatically upon assignment. Additional
Portfolios may be subject to a different agreement.
 
   
Effective December 1, 1993, for services and facilities furnished, the Fund pays
an annual investment management fee, payable monthly of .15 of 1% of average
daily net assets of the Government Securities and Treasury Portfolios. Between
October 1, 1991 and November 30, 1993, the Fund paid an annual investment
management fee, payable monthly, on a graduated basis of .25 of 1% of the first
$200 million of combined average daily net assets of the Portfolios, .19 of 1%
of the next $300 million and .15 of 1% of the combined average daily net assets
of the Portfolios over $500 million. Prior to October 1, 1991, the Government
Securities Portfolio paid an annual investment management fee on a graduated
basis of .30 of 1% of the first $200 million of average daily net assets, .24 of
1% of the next $300 million and .20 of 1% of average daily net assets over $500
million.The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent required by
applicable state expense limitations should all operating expenses of the Fund,
including the investment management fee of the Adviser but excluding taxes,
interest, extraordinary expenses and brokerage commissions or transaction costs,
exceed the applicable state expense limitations. The Fund believes that the most
restrictive state expense limitation currently applicable to the Fund would
require that such operating expenses not exceed 2.5% of the first $30 million of
average daily net assets, 2% of the next $70 million and 1.5% of average daily
net assets over $100 million. The investment management fee and the expense
limitations are computed based on average daily net assets of all Portfolios and
are allocated between the Portfolios based upon the relative net asset levels.
Pursuant to the investment management agreement, the Fund incurred investment
management fees for the Government Securities Portfolio of $207,000, $296,000
and $208,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The Fund incurred investment management fees of $57,000, $57,000
and $22,000 for the Treasury Portfolio for the fiscal years ended March 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In addition to the expense limitation, the
Adviser has agreed to temporarily waive its management fee and absorb or pay
Portfolio operating expenses to the extent that they exceed .25 of 1% of average
daily net assets of a Portfolio on an annual basis. For this purpose, "Portfolio
operating expenses" do not
    
 
                                       B-1
<PAGE>   20
 
   
include taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions or
transaction costs. Upon notice to the Fund, the Adviser may terminate these
arrangements with respect to a Portfolio at any time. During the fiscal years
ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Adviser waived or absorbed $117,000,
$244,000 and $147,000, respectively, of the Government Securities Portfolio's
operating expenses. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
the Adviser waived or absorbed $53,000, $103,000 and $37,000, respectively, of
the Treasury Portfolio's operating expenses.
    
 
Certain trustees or officers of the Fund are also directors or officers of the
Adviser as indicated under "Officers and Trustees."
 
   
UNDERWRITER. Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, Kemper Distributors, Inc.
(the "Underwriter" or the "Administrator"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves
as the principal underwriter of the continuous offering of the Fund's shares.
Before February 1, 1995, the Adviser was the principal underwriter for the Fund.
The Underwriter receives no compensation from the Fund as principal underwriter
and pays all expenses of distribution of the Fund's shares under the
underwriting agreement not otherwise paid by dealers or other financial services
firms.
    
 
   
ADMINISTRATOR. Pursuant to an administrative services agreement ("administrative
agreement"), the Administrator also serves as administrator to the Fund to
provide information and services for shareholders. Before February 1, 1995, the
Adviser was the administrator for the Fund. The administrative agreement
provides that the Administrator shall appoint various firms to provide
administrative services for their customers or clients who are shareholders of
the Fund. The firms are to provide such office space and equipment, telephone
facilities and personnel as are necessary or appropriate for providing
information and services to Fund shareholders. For its services, the Fund pays
the Administrator an annual administrative services fee, payable monthly, of .10
of 1% of average daily net assets of each Portfolio. Prior to December 1, 1993,
the administrative services fee was .15 of 1% of average daily net assets of
each Portfolio.
    
 
   
The Administrator has related services agreements with various firms to provide
administrative services for Fund shareholders. Such services and assistance may
include, but are not limited to, establishing and maintaining shareholder
accounts and records, processing purchase and redemption transactions, providing
automatic investment in Portfolio shares of client account balances, answering
routine inquiries regarding the Fund, assisting clients in changing account
options, designations and addresses, and such other services as may be agreed
upon from time to time and as may be permitted by applicable statute, rule or
regulation. The Administrator also has services agreements with banking firms to
provide the above listed services, except for certain distribution services that
the banks may be prohibited from providing, for their clients who wish to invest
in the Fund. The Administrator also may provide some of the above services for
the Fund. The Administrator normally pays the firms a monthly service fee at an
annual rate that ranges between .05% and .10% of average net assets of those
Fund accounts that they maintain and service. The Administrator may elect to
keep a portion of the total administration fee to compensate itself for
functions performed for the Fund. Between October 1, 1991 and November 30, 1993,
the Adviser (as predecessor to the Administrator) received an annual
administrative services fee of .15 of 1% of average daily net assets and
normally paid firms at an annual rate of .15 of 1% of average net assets for
accounts maintained and serviced. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, the Government Securities Portfolio incurred administrative
services fees of $138,000, $182,000 and $124,000, respectively, and the
Administrator (or the Adviser as predecessor to the Administrator) paid $69,000,
$120,000 and $119,000, respectively, as service fees to firms, including
$57,000, $94,000 and $103,000, respectively, paid to firms affiliated with the
Administrator and the Treasury Portfolio incurred administrative services fees
of $38,000, $35,000 and $14,000, respectively, and the Administrator (or the
Adviser as predecessor to the Administrator) paid $19,000, $27,000 and $13,000,
respectively, as service fees to firms, including $11,000, $14,000 and $12,000,
respectively, paid to firms affiliated with the Administrator.
    
 
   
CUSTODIAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICE AGENT.  Investors Fiduciary Trust Company
("IFTC"), 127 West 10th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105, as custodian, and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02110, as sub-custodian, have custody of all securities and cash of the Fund.
They attend to the collection of principal and income, and payment for and
collection of proceeds of securities bought and sold by the
    
 
                                       B-2

Fund. IFTC is also the transfer agent of the Fund (see "Purchase of Shares" in
the prospectus). Pursuant to a services agreement with IFTC, Kemper Service
Company, an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as "Shareholder Service Agent."
IFTC receives an annual fee as custodian for the Fund, payable monthly, on a
graduated basis ranging from $.40 to $.05 per $1,000 of average monthly net
assets of the Fund plus certain transaction charges and out-of-pocket expense
reimbursement. (The effective custodian fee rate is based upon the average net
assets of all Kemper Mutual Funds of the money market type for which IFTC serves
as custodian.) IFTC receives, as transfer agent, and pays to the Shareholder
Service Agent annual account fees of a maximum of $13 per year per account plus
out-of-pocket expense reimbursement. During the fiscal year ended March 31,
1995, the Fund incurred custodian and transfer agent fees of $17,000 (excluding
related expenses) to IFTC and IFTC remitted shareholder service fees in the
amount of $2,000 to the Shareholder Service Agent.
    
 
   
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Fund's independent
auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606,
audit and report on the Fund's annual financial statements, review certain
regulatory reports and the Fund's federal income tax return, and perform other
professional accounting, auditing, tax and advisory services when engaged to do
so by the Fund. Shareholders will receive annual audited financial statements
and semi-annual unaudited financial statements.
    
 
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
Portfolio transactions are undertaken principally to pursue each Portfolio's
investment objective in relation to movements in the general level of interest
rates, to invest money obtained from the sale of Fund shares, to reinvest
proceeds from maturing portfolio securities and to meet redemptions of Fund
shares. These transactions may increase or decrease the yield of a Portfolio
depending upon management's ability to correctly time and execute such
transactions. Since a Portfolio's assets will be invested in securities with
short maturities, its portfolio will turn over several times a year. However,
since securities with maturities of less than one year are excluded from
required portfolio turnover rate calculations, each Portfolio's turnover rate
for reporting purposes will be zero.
 
   
The Adviser is the investment manager for the Kemper Funds, and the Adviser and
its affiliates also furnish investment management services to other clients
including Kemper Corporation and the Kemper insurance companies. The Adviser is
the sole shareholder of Kemper Asset Management Company and Kemper Investment
Management Company Limited. These three entities share some common research and
trading facilities. At times investment decisions may be made to purchase or
sell the same investment securities for a Portfolio and for one or more of the
other clients managed by the Adviser. When two or more of such clients are
simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, the
transactions are allocated as to amount and price in a manner considered
equitable to each. It is the opinion of the Board of Trustees that the benefits
available because of the Adviser's organization outweigh any disadvantages that
may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
    
 
   
The Adviser, in effecting purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the
account of each Portfolio, will implement the Fund's policy of seeking the best
execution of orders, which includes best net prices. Consistent with this
policy, orders for portfolio transactions are placed with broker-dealer firms
giving consideration to the quality, quantity and nature of the firm's
professional services which include execution, clearance procedures, reliability
and other factors. In selecting among the firms believed to meet the criteria
for handling a particular transaction, the Adviser may give consideration to
those firms that have sold or are selling shares of the Kemper Mutual Funds, as
well as to those firms that provide market, statistical and other research
information to the Fund and the Adviser, although the Adviser is not authorized
to pay higher prices to firms that provide such services. Any research benefits
derived are available for all clients including clients of affiliated companies.
Since it is only supplemental to the Adviser's own research efforts and must be
analyzed and reviewed by the Adviser's staff, the receipt of research
information is not expected to materially reduce expenses. The Fund expects that
purchases and sales of portfolio securities usually will be principal
transactions. Portfolio securities will normally be purchased directly from the
issuer or from an underwriter or market maker for the securities. There usually
are no brokerage commissions paid by the Portfolios for such purchases. During
the last three fiscal years, neither the Government Securities Portfolio or the
Treasury Portfolio paid portfolio brokerage commissions. Purchases from
underwriters will include a commission or
    
 
                                       B-3
<PAGE>   22
 
concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers
serving as market makers will include the spread between the bid and asked
prices.
 
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
 
   
Shares of a Portfolio are sold at their net asset value next determined after an
order and payment are received in the form described in the prospectus. The
minimum initial investment is $1 million but such minimum amount may be changed
at any time. The Fund may waive the minimum for purchases by trustees,
directors, officers or employees of the Fund or the Adviser and its affiliates.
An investor wishing to open an account should use the Account Application
available from the Fund or financial services firms. Orders for the purchase of
shares that are accompanied by a check drawn on a foreign bank (other than a
check drawn on a Canadian bank in U.S. Dollars) will not be considered in proper
form and will not be processed unless and until the Fund determines that it has
received payment of the proceeds of the check. The time required for such a
determination will vary and cannot be determined in advance.
    
 
The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or delay payment more than seven
days (a) during any period when the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange") is
closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings or during any period in
which trading on the Exchange is restricted, (b) during any period when an
emergency exists as a result of which (i) disposal of a Portfolio's investments
is not reasonably practicable, or (ii) it is not reasonably practicable for the
Fund to determine the value of its net assets, or (c) for such other periods as
the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of
the Fund's shareholders.
 
Although it is the Fund's present policy to redeem in cash, if the Board of
Trustees determines that a material adverse effect would be experienced by the
remaining shareholders if payment were made wholly in cash, the Fund will pay
the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution of portfolio
securities in lieu of cash, in conformity with the applicable rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, taking such securities at the same value
used to determine net asset value, and selecting the securities in such manner
as the Board of Trustees may deem fair and equitable. If such a distribution
occurs, shareholders receiving securities and selling them could receive less
than the redemption value of such securities and in addition would incur certain
transaction costs. Such a redemption would not be as liquid as a redemption
entirely in cash. The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 pursuant to which the Fund is obligated to redeem
shares of a Portfolio solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the
net assets of the Portfolio during any 90-day period for any one shareholder of
record.
 
DIVIDENDS AND NET ASSET VALUE
 
DIVIDENDS.  Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Shareholders will
receive cash dividends unless they elect to receive dividends in additional
shares. For cash dividends, checks will be mailed within five business days
after the reinvestment date described below. For dividends paid in additional
shares, dividends will be reinvested monthly in shares of the same Portfolio
normally on the first day of each month, if a business day, otherwise on the
next business day. The Fund will pay shareholders who redeem their entire
accounts all unpaid dividends at the time of redemption not later than the next
dividend payment date.
 
Each Portfolio calculates its dividends based on its daily net investment
income. For this purpose, net investment income consists of (a) accrued interest
income plus or minus amortized discount or premium, (b) plus or minus all
short-term realized gains and losses on investments and (c) minus accrued
expenses. Expenses of the Fund are accrued each day. Since each Portfolio's
investments are valued at amortized cost, there will be no unrealized gains or
losses on such investments. However, should the net asset value of a Portfolio
deviate significantly from market value, the Board of Trustees could decide to
value the investments at market value and then unrealized gains and losses would
be included in net investment income above.
 
Dividends are paid in cash monthly and shareholders will receive monthly
confirmation of dividends and of purchase and redemption transactions.
 
                                       B-4
<PAGE>   23
 
NET ASSET VALUE. As described in the prospectus, each Portfolio values its
portfolio instruments at amortized cost, which does not take into account
unrealized capital gains or losses. This involves valuing an instrument at its
cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount
or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market
value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it
may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is
higher or lower than the price a Portfolio would receive if it sold the
instrument. Calculations are made to compare the value of a Portfolio's
investments valued at amortized cost with market values. Market valuations are
obtained by using actual quotations provided by market makers, estimates of
market value, or values obtained from yield data relating to classes of money
market instruments published by reputable sources at the mean between the bid
and asked prices for the instruments. If a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more were
to occur between the net asset value per share calculated by reference to market
values and a Portfolio's $1.00 per share net asset value, or if there were any
other deviation which the Board of Trustees of the Fund believed would result in
a material dilution to shareholders or purchasers, the Board of Trustees would
promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated. If a Portfolio's net
asset value per share (computed using market values) declined, or were expected
to decline, below $1.00 (computed using amortized cost), the Board of Trustees
of the Fund might temporarily reduce or suspend dividend payments in an effort
to maintain the net asset value at $1.00 per share. As a result of such
reduction or suspension of dividends or other action by the Board of Trustees,
an investor would receive less income during a given period than if such a
reduction or suspension had not taken place. Such action could result in
investors receiving no dividend for the period during which they held their
shares and receiving, upon redemption, a price per share lower than that which
they paid. On the other hand, if a Portfolio's net asset value per share
(computed using market values) were to increase, or were anticipated to increase
above $1.00 (computed using amortized cost), the Board of Trustees of the Fund
might supplement dividends in an effort to maintain the net asset value at $1.00
per share.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
As reflected in the prospectus, the historical performance calculation for a
Portfolio may be shown in the form of "yield" and "effective yield." These
various measures of performance are described below. The Adviser temporarily has
agreed to absorb certain operating expenses of each Portfolio to the extent
specified in the prospectus. See "Investment Manager and Services" in the
prospectus. Without this expense absorption, the performance results noted
herein for the Government Securities and Treasury Portfolios would have been
lower.
 
   
Each Portfolio's seven-day yield is computed in accordance with a standardized
method prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under that
method, the yield quotation is based on a seven-day period and is computed for
each Portfolio as follows. The first calculation is net investment income per
share, which is accrued interest on portfolio securities, plus or minus
amortized discount or premium, less accrued expenses. This number is then
divided by the price per share (expected to remain constant at $1.00) at the
beginning of the period ("base period return"). The result is then divided by 7
and multiplied by 365 and the resulting yield figure is carried to the nearest
one-hundredth of one percent. Realized capital gains or losses and unrealized
appreciation or depreciation of investments are not included in the
calculations. For the period ended March 31, 1995, the Government Securities
Portfolio's seven-day yield was 5.87% and the Treasury Portfolio's seven-day
yield was 5.80%.
    
 
   
Each Portfolio's seven-day effective yield is determined by taking the base
period return (computed as described above) and calculating the effect of
assumed compounding. The formula for the seven-day effective yield is: (seven-
day base period return +1)365/7 - 1. Each Portfolio may also advertise a
thirty-day effective yield in which case the formula is (thirty-day base period
return +1)365/30 - 1. For the period ended March 31, 1995, the Government
Securities Portfolio's seven-day effective yield was 6.04% and the Treasury
Portfolio's seven-day effective yield was 5.97%.
    
 
Each Portfolio's yield fluctuates, and the publication of an annualized yield
quotation is not a representation as to what an investment in a Portfolio will
actually yield for any given future period. Actual yields will depend not only
on changes in interest rates on money market instruments during the period in
which the investment in a Portfolio is held, but also on such matters as
Portfolio expenses.

Investors have an extensive choice of money market funds and money market
deposit accounts and the information below may be useful to investors who wish
to compare the past performance of a Portfolio with that of its competitors.
Past performance cannot be a guarantee of future results.
 
   
As indicated in the prospectus (see "Performance"), the performance of a
Portfolio may be compared to that of other mutual funds tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"). Lipper performance calculations include
the reinvestment of all capital gain and income dividends for the periods
covered by the calculations. A Portfolio's performance also may be compared to
other money market funds reported by IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R) or
Money Market Insight(R) ("IBC/Donoghue's"), reporting services on money market
funds. As reported by IBC/Donoghue's, all investment results represent total
return (annualized results for the period net of management fees and expenses)
and one year investment results would be effective annual yields assuming
reinvestment of dividends.
    
 
IBC/Donoghue's and Lipper reported the following results for the Portfolios.

</TABLE>
    
 
The rates published by the BANK RATE MONITOR National Index(TM) are averages of
the personal account rates offered on the Wednesday prior to the date of
publication by 100 of the leading bank and thrift institutions in the ten
largest Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Account minimums range
upward from $2,000 in each institution and compounding methods vary. Interest
bearing checking accounts generally offer unlimited checking while money market
deposit accounts generally restrict the number of checks that may be written. If
more than one rate is offered, the lowest rate is used. Rates are determined by
the financial institution and are subject to change at any time specified by the
institution. Bank products represent an alternative income producing product.
Bank and thrift institution account deposits may be insured. Shareholder
accounts in the Fund are not insured. Bank passbook savings accounts share some
liquidity features with money market mutual fund accounts but they may not offer
all the features available from a money market mutual fund, such as
checkwriting. Bank passbook savings accounts normally offer a fixed rate of
interest, while the yield of each Portfolio fluctuates. Bank checking accounts
normally do not pay interest but share some liquidity features with money market
mutual fund accounts (e.g., the ability to write checks against the account).
Bank certificates of deposit may offer fixed or variable rates for a set term.
(Normally, a variety of terms are available.) Withdrawal of these deposits prior
to maturity normally will be subject
 
                                       B-6
<PAGE>   25
 
to a penalty. In contrast, shares of the Fund are redeemable at the net asset
value next determined (normally $1.00 per share) after a request is received,
without charge.
 
Investors also may want to compare a Portfolio's performance to that of U.S.
Treasury bills or notes because such instruments represent alternative income
producing products. Treasury obligations are issued in selected denominations.
Rates of U.S. Treasury obligations are fixed at the time of issuance and payment
of principal and interest is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury. The market value of such instruments generally will fluctuate
inversely with interest rates prior to maturity and will equal par value at
maturity. Generally, the values of obligations with shorter maturities will
fluctuate less than those with longer maturities. Each Portfolio's yield will
fluctuate. Also, while each Portfolio seeks to maintain a net asset value per
share of $1.00, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.

SPECIAL FEATURES
 
   
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE.  Subject to the limitations described below, Class A Shares
(or the equivalent) of the following Kemper Mutual Funds may be exchanged for
each other at their relative net asset values: Kemper Technology Fund, Kemper
Total Return Fund, Kemper Growth Fund, Kemper Small Capitalization Equity Fund,
Kemper Income and Capital Preservation Fund, Kemper Municipal Bond Fund, Kemper
Diversified Income Fund, Kemper High Yield Fund, Kemper U.S. Government
Securities Fund, Kemper International Fund, Kemper State Tax-Free Income Series,
Kemper Adjustable Rate U.S. Government Fund, Kemper Blue Chip Fund, Kemper
Global Income Fund, Kemper Target Equity Fund (series are subject to a limited
offering period), Kemper Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Kemper Cash Reserves
Fund (available only upon exchange or conversion from Class A Shares of another
Kemper Mutual Fund), Kemper U.S. Mortgage Fund and Kemper Short-Intermediate
Government Fund ("Kemper Mutual Funds") and certain "Money Market Funds" (Kemper
Money Market Fund, Cash Equivalent Fund, Tax-Exempt California Money Market
Fund, Cash Account Trust, Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund and Investors
Cash Trust). Shares of Money Market Funds that were acquired by purchase (not
including shares acquired by dividend reinvestment) are subject to the
applicable sales charge on exchange. Shares purchased by check or through an ACH
transaction may not be exchanged until they have been owned for at least 15
days. In addition, shares of Kemper Funds, other than a Money Market Fund,
acquired by exchange from another Fund may not be exchanged thereafter until
they have been owned for 15 days. A series of Kemper Target Equity Fund will be
available on exchange only during the Offering Period for such series as
described in the prospectus for such series. Cash Equivalent Fund, Tax-Exempt
California Money Market Fund, Cash Account Trust, Tax-Exempt New York Money
Market Fund and Investors Cash Trust are available on exchange but only through
a financial services firm having a services agreement with the Underwriter with
respect to such Funds. Exchanges may only be made for funds that are available
for sale in the shareholder's state of residence. Currently, Tax-Exempt
California Money Market Fund is available for sale only in California and
Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund is available for sale only in New York,
Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
    
 
   
The total value of shares being exchanged must at least equal the minimum
investment requirement of the fund into which they are being exchanged.
Exchanges are made based on relative dollar values of the shares involved in the
exchange. There is no service fee for an exchange; however, financial services
firms may charge for their services in effecting exchange transactions.
Exchanges will be effected by redemption of shares of the fund held and purchase
of shares of the other fund. For federal income tax purposes, any such exchange
constitutes a sale upon which a gain or loss may be realized, depending upon
whether the value of the shares being exchanged is more or less than the
shareholder's adjusted cost basis. Shareholders interested in exercising the
exchange privilege may obtain an exchange form and prospectuses of the other
funds from firms or the Underwriter. Exchanges also may be authorized by
telephone if the shareholder has given authorization. Once the authorization is
on file, the Shareholder Service Agent will honor requests by telephone at
1-800-231-8568 or in writing subject to the limitations on liability described
in the prospectus. Any share certificates must be deposited prior to any
exchange of such shares. During periods when it is difficult to contact the
Shareholder Service Agent by telephone, it may be difficult to implement the
telephone exchange privilege. The exchange privilege is not a right and may be
suspended, terminated or modified at any time. Except as otherwise permitted by
applicable regulations, 60 days' prior written notice of any termination or
material change will be provided.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
 
The Fund generally is not required to hold meetings of its shareholders. Under
the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Fund ("Declaration of Trust"),
however, shareholder meetings will be held in connection with the following
matters: (a) the election or removal of trustees if a meeting is called for such
purpose; (b) the adoption of any contract for which shareholder approval is
required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"); (c) any termination
of the Fund to the extent and as provided in the Declaration of Trust; (d) any
amendment of the Declaration of Trust (other than amendments changing the name
of the Fund or any Portfolio, establishing a Portfolio, supplying any omission,
curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or
inconsistent provision thereof); and (e) such additional matters as may be
required by law, the Declaration of Trust, the By-laws of the Fund, or any
registration of the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
state, or as the trustees may consider necessary or desirable. The shareholders
also would vote upon changes in fundamental investment objectives, policies or
restrictions.
 
Each trustee serves until the next meeting of shareholders, if any, called for
the purpose of electing trustees and until the election and qualification of a
successor or until such trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires or is removed by a
majority vote of the shares entitled to vote (as described below) or a majority
of the trustees. In accordance with the 1940 Act (a) the Fund will hold a
shareholder meeting for the election of trustees at such time as less than a
majority of the trustees have been elected by shareholders, and (b) if, as a
result of a vacancy on the Board of Trustees, less than two-thirds of the
trustees have been elected by the shareholders, that vacancy will be filled only
by a vote of the shareholders.
 
Trustees may be removed from office by a vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares at a meeting called for that purpose, which meeting shall
be held upon the written request of the holders of not less than 10% of the
outstanding shares. Upon the written request of ten or more shareholders, who
have been such for at least six months and who hold shares constituting at least
1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, stating that such shareholders wish to
communicate with the other shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the
signatures necessary to demand a meeting to consider removal of a trustee, the
Fund has undertaken to disseminate appropriate materials at the expense of the
requesting shareholders.
 
The Declaration of Trust provides that the presence at a shareholder meeting in
person or by proxy of at least 30% of the shares entitled to vote on a matter
shall constitute a quorum. Thus, a meeting of shareholders of the Fund could
take place even if less than a majority of the shareholders were represented on
its scheduled date. Shareholders would in such a case be permitted to take
action which does not require a larger vote than a majority of a quorum, such as
the election of trustees and ratification of the selection of auditors. Some
matters requiring a larger vote under the Declaration of Trust, such as
termination or reorganization of the Fund and certain amendments of the
Declaration of Trust, would not be affected by this provision; nor would matters
which under the 1940 Act require the vote of a "majority of the outstanding
voting securities" as defined in the 1940 Act.
 
The Declaration of Trust specifically authorizes the Board of Trustees to
terminate the Fund (or any Portfolio or class) by notice to the shareholders
without shareholder approval.
 
   
Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust could,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for obligations of the
Fund. The Declaration of Trust, however, disclaims shareholder liability for
acts or obligations of the Fund and requires that notice of such disclaimer be
given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by
the Fund or the trustees. Moreover, the Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of Fund property for all losses and expenses of any
shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund and the Fund
will be covered by insurance which the trustees consider adequate to cover
foreseeable tort claims. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial
loss on account of shareholder liability is considered by the Adviser remote and
not material, since it is limited to circumstances in which a disclaimer is
inoperative and the Fund itself is unable to meet its obligations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS
INVESTORS CASH TRUST


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of the Government Securities and the Treasury
Portfolios, comprising Investors Cash Trust, as of March 31, 1995, and the
related statements of operations for the year then ended and changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the fiscal periods since 1991 in the Government
Securities Portfolio and 1992 in the Treasury Portfolio. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of
March 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the Portfolios comprising Investors Cash Trust at March 31, 1995, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the fiscal periods referred to above, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND

The Fund currently offers two series of shares (Portfolios)-the Government
Securities Portfolio and the Treasury Portfolio.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVESTMENT VALUATION

Investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. In
the event that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more exists between a Portfolio's
$1.00 per share net asset value, calculated at amortized cost, and the net
asset value calculated by reference to market-based values, or if there is any
other deviation that the Board of Trustees believes would result in a material
dilution to shareholders or purchasers, the Board of Trustees will promptly
consider what action should be initiated.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST INCOME

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to
buy or sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and
includes amortization of premium and discount on investments.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government
agency securities. All collateral is held at the Fund's custodian bank and is
monitored daily by the Fund so that its market value exceeds the carrying value
of the repurchase agreement.

EXPENSES

Expenses arising in connection with a Portfolio are allocated to that
Portfolio. Other Fund expenses are allocated between the Portfolios in
proportion to their relative net assets.

FUND SHARE VALUATION AND DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuous basis at net asset value. On
each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, each Portfolio
determines its net asset value per share at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Chicago time by dividing the total value of the Portfolio's investments and
other assets, less liabilities, by the number of Portfolio shares outstanding.
Each Portfolio declares a daily dividend, equal to its net investment income
for that day, payable monthly. Net investment income consists of all interest
income plus (minus) all realized gains (losses) on portfolio securities, minus
all expenses of the Portfolio.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Portfolio has complied with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code available to investment companies and therefore no federal income tax
provision is required.

3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

The Fund has a management agreement with Kemper Financial Services, Inc. (KFS).
For management services and facilities furnished, the Fund pays a management
fee at an annual rate of .15% of average daily net assets. During the year
ended March 31, 1995, the Fund incurred management fees of $264,000.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGREEMENT

The Fund also has an administrative services agreement with Kemper
Distributors, Inc. (KDI). (Before February 1, 1995, KFS was the administrator.)
For its services as primary administrator, the Fund pays KDI an annual fee of
 .10% of average daily net assets. For the year ended March 31, 1995, the Fund
incurred administrative fees of $176,000. KDI has related service agreements
with various firms to provide cash management and other services for Fund
shareholders. KDI pays these firms at annual rate ranging between .05% and .10%
of average daily net assets. During the year ended March 31, 1995, KDI (and KFS
as predecessor to KDI) paid fees of $88,000 to various firms pursuant to
service agreements, including $68,000 paid to affiliated dealers.

CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT AGREEMENTS
The Fund has a custodian and a transfer agent agreement with Investors
Fiduciary Trust Company (IFTC), which was 50% owned by KFS until January 31,
1995 when KFS completed the sale of IFTC to a third party. During the year
ended March 31, 1995, the Fund incurred custodian and transfer agent fees of
$17,000 (excluding related expenses). Pursuant to a services agreement with
IFTC, Kemper Service Company (KSvC), an affiliate of KFS, is the Shareholder
Service Agent of the Fund. During the year ended March 31, 1995, IFTC remitted
shareholder service fees of $2,000 to KSvC.

OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES
Certain officers or trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of KFS.
During the six months ended March 31, 1995, the Fund made no payments to its
officers and incurred trustees' fees of $11,000 to independent trustees.

EXPENSE ABSORPTION
KFS agreed to temporarily absorb certain of each Portfolio's operating expenses
to the extent that they exceed .25% of average daily net assets of such
Portfolio on an annual basis. Under this arrangement, KFS absorbed $170,000 of
expenses during the year ended March 31, 1995.

ITEM 26. NUMBER OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES
 
   
     As of July 14, 1995, there were 232 holders of record of the Government
Securities Portfolio and 110 holders of record of the Treasury Portfolio.
    
 
ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION
 
     Article VIII of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust
(Exhibit 1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference) provides in effect
that the Registrant will indemnify its officers and trustees under certain
circumstances. However, in accordance with Section 17(h) and 17(i) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and its own terms, said Article of the Agreement
and Declaration of Trust does not protect any person against any liability to
the Registrant or its shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers, and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
trustee, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question as to whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
 
ITEM 28.(A) BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
   
     Information pertaining to business and other connections of the
Registrant's investment adviser is hereby incorporated by reference to the
section of the Prospectus captioned "Investment Manager and Services," and to
the section of the Statement of Additional Information captioned "Investment
    
Manager and Services."

                                  ------------------

                  The Trust is a voluntary association (commonly known as
             a business trust) of the type referred to in Chapter 182 of
             the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The
             Trust is not intended to be, shall not be treated as, a
             general or a limited partnership, joint venture, corporation
             or joint stock company, nor shall the Trustees or
             Shareholders or any of them for any purpose be deemed to be,
             or be treated in any way whatsoever as though they were,
             liable or responsible hereunder as partners or joint
             venturers.  The purpose of the Trust is to engage in, operate
             and carry on the business of an open-end management
             investment company and to do any and all acts or things as
             are necessary, convenient, appropriate, incidental or
             customary in connection therewith.

                                      -----------

                                        Shares
                                        ------

             Division of Beneficial Interest
             -------------------------------

                  Section 1.  The Shares of the Trust shall be issued in
             one or more series as the Trustees may, without Shareholder
             approval, authorize from time to time.  Each series shall be
             preferred over all other series in respect of the assets
             allocated to that series as hereinafter provided.  The
             beneficial interest in each series shall at all times be
             divided into Shares (without par value) of such series, each
             of which shall, except as provided in the following sentence,
             represent an equal proportionate interest in such series with
             each other Share of the same series, none having priority or
             preference over another Share of the same series.  The
             Trustees may, without Shareholder approval, divide the Shares
             of any series into two or more classes, Shares of each such
             class having such preferences and special or relative rights
             or privileges (including conversion rights, if any) as the
             Trustees may determine.  The number of Shares authorized
             shall be unlimited, and the Shares so authorized may be
             represented in part by fractional Shares.  The Trustees may
             from time to time divide or combine the shares of any series
             or class into a greater or lesser number without thereby
             changing the proportionate beneficial interests in the series
             or class.  Without limiting the authority of the Trustees set
             forth in this Section 1 to establish and designate any
             further series or class, the Trustees hereby establish and
             designate one series of Shares to be known as the "Treasury
             Portfolio."  The establishment and designation of any series
             or class of Shares in addition to the foregoing shall be
             effective upon the execution by a majority of the then
             Trustees of an instrument setting forth such establishment
             and designation and the relative rights and preferences of
             such series or class.  As provided in Article IX, Section 1
             hereof, any series or class of Shares (whether or not there
             shall then be Shares outstanding of said series or class) may
             be terminated by the Trustees by written notice to the
             Shareholders of such series or class or by the vote of the
             Shareholders of such series or class entitled to vote more
             than fifty percent (50%) of the votes entitled to be cast on
             the matter.  In the event of any such termination, a majority
             of the then Trustees shall execute an instrument setting
             forth the termination of such series or class.

             Ownership of Shares
             -------------------

                  Section 2.  The ownership and transfer of Shares shall
             be recorded on the books of the Trust or its transfer or
             similar agent.  No certificates certifying the ownership of
             Shares shall be issued except as the Trustees may otherwise
             determine from time to time.  The Trustees may make such
             rules as they consider appropriate for the issuance of Share
             certificates, the transfer of Shares and similar matters. 
             The record books of the Trust as kept by the Trust or any
             transfer or similar agent of the Trust, as the case may be,
             shall be conclusive as to who are the Shareholders of each
             series or class and as to the number of Shares of each series
             or class held from time to time by each Shareholder.

             Investment in the Trust; Assets of a Series
             -------------------------------------------

                  Section 3.  The Trustees may issue Shares of the Trust
             to such persons and on such terms and, subject to any
             requirements of law, for such consideration, which may
             consist of cash or tangible or intangible property or a
             combination thereof, as they may from time to time authorize.

                  All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or
             sale of Shares of a particular series, together with all
             income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including
             any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation
             thereof, and any funds or payments derived from any
             reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may
             be, shall, irrevocably belong to such series of Shares for
             all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors, and
             shall be so handled upon the books of account of the Trust
             and are herein referred to as "assets of" such series.  Any
             allocation of the assets of a series among any classes of
             Shares of such series shall be made in a manner consistent
             with the preferences and special or relative rights or
             privileges of such classes. 

             Right to Refuse Orders
             ----------------------

                  Section 4.  The Trust by action of its Trustees shall
             have the right to refuse to accept any subscription for its
             Shares at any time without any cause or reason therefore
             whatsoever.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Trust shall
             have the right not to accept subscriptions under
             circumstances or in amounts as the Trustees in their sole
             discretion consider to be disadvantageous to existing
             Shareholders and the Trust may from time to time set minimum


                                           5


<PAGE>   6

             and/or maximum amounts which may be invested in Shares by a
             subscriber.

             Order in Proper Form
             --------------------

                  Section 5.  The criteria for determining what
             constitutes an order in proper form and the time of receipt
             of such an order by the Trust shall be prescribed by
             resolution of the Trustees.

             When Shares Become Outstanding
             ------------------------------

                  Section 6.  Shares subscribed for and for which an order
             in proper form has been received shall be deemed to be
             outstanding as of the time of acceptance of the order
             therefor and the determination of the net price thereof,
             which price shall be then deemed to be an asset of the Trust.

             Merger or Consolidation
             -----------------------

                  Section 7.  In connection with the acquisition of all or
             substantially all the assets or stock of another investment
             company, investment trust, or of a company classified as a
             personal holding company under Federal Income Tax laws, the
             Trustees may issue or cause to be issued Shares of a series
             or class and accept in payment therefor, in lieu of cash,
             such assets at their market value, or such stock at the
             market value of the assets held by such investment company or
             investment trust, either with or without adjustment for
             contingent costs or liabilities.

             No Preemptive Rights, Etc.
             --------------------------

                  Section 8.  Shareholders shall have no preemptive or
             other right to receive, purchase or subscribe for any
             additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust. 
             The Shareholders shall have no appraisal rights with respect
             to their Shares and, except as otherwise determined by the
             Trustees in their sole discretion, shall have no exchange or
             conversion rights with respect to their Shares.

             Status of Shares and Limitation of Personal Liability
             -----------------------------------------------------

                  Section 9.  Shares shall be deemed to be personal
             property giving only the rights provided in this instrument. 
             Every Shareholder by virtue of having become a Shareholder
             shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to the

                                           6


<PAGE>   7

             terms of the Declaration of Trust and to have become a party
             thereto.  The death of a Shareholder during the continuance
             of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the same nor
             entitle the representative of any deceased Shareholder to an
             accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere
             against the Trust or the Trustees, but only to the rights of
             said decedent under this Trust.  Ownership of Shares shall
             not entitle the Shareholder to any title in or to the whole
             or any part of the Trust property or right to call for a
             partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor
             shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders
             partners.  Neither the Trust nor the Trustees, nor any
             officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall have any power
             to bind personally any Shareholder, nor except as
             specifically provided herein to call upon any Shareholder for
             the payment of any sum of money or assessment whatsoever
             other than such as the Shareholder may at any time personally
             agree to pay.


             Shareholder Inspection Rights
             -----------------------------

                  Section 10.  Any Shareholder or his agent may inspect
             and copy during normal business hours any of the following
             documents of the Trust:  By-Laws, minutes of the proceedings
             of the Shareholders and annual financial statements of the
             Trust, including a balance sheet and financial statements of
             operations.  The foregoing rights of inspection of
             Shareholders of the Trust are the exclusive and sole rights
             of the Shareholders with respect thereto and no Shareholder
             of the Trust shall have, as a Shareholder, the right to
             inspect or copy any of the books, records or other documents
             of the Trust except as specifically provided in this Section
             10 of this Article III or except as otherwise determined by
             the Trustees.

                                      ARTICLE IV
                                      ----------

                                     The Trustees

                  (a)  Initial Trustee.  Upon his execution of this
             Declaration of Trust or a counterpart hereof or some other
             writing in which he accepts such Trusteeship and agrees to

                                           7



<PAGE>   8

             the provisions hereof, Robert J. Engling shall become a
             Trustee hereof.  

                  (b)  Number.  The Trustees serving as such, whether
             named above or hereafter becoming Trustees, may increase or
             decrease the number of Trustees to a number other than the
             number theretofore determined which number shall not be less
             than three nor more than fifteen except during the period
             that the initial Trustee named above is sole Trustee.  No
             decrease in the number of Trustees shall have the effect of
             removing any Trustee from office prior to the expiration of
             his term, but the number of Trustees may be decreased in
             conjunction with the removal of a Trustee pursuant to
             subsection (e) of this Section 1.

                  (c)  Term and Election.  Each Trustee, whether named
             above or hereafter becoming a Trustee, shall serve as a
             Trustee until the next meeting of Shareholders, if any,
             called for the purpose of considering the election or
             re-election of such Trustee or of a successor to such
             Trustee, and until the election and qualification of his
             successor, if any, elected at such meeting, or until such
             Trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires or is removed.  Upon
             the election and qualification of a new Trustee, the Trust
             estate shall vest in the new Trustee (together with the
             continuing or other new Trustees) without any further act or
             conveyance.  Prior to any sale of Shares pursuant to any
             public offering, the initial Trustee named above shall have
             the right to appoint other persons as Trustees each to serve
             as Trustees as aforesaid until the first meeting of
             Shareholders called for the purpose of the election or
             re-election of such Trustee or of a successor to such
             Trustee.

                  (d)  Resignation and Retirement.  Any Trustee may resign
             his trust or retire as a Trustee, by written instrument
             signed by him and delivered to the other Trustees or to the
             Chairman of the Board, if any, the President or the Secretary
             of the Trust, and such resignation or retirement shall take
             effect upon such delivery or upon such later date as is
             specified in such instrument.

                  (e)  Removal.  Any Trustee may be removed for cause at
             any time by written instrument, signed by at least a majority
             of the number of Trustees prior to such removal, specifying
             the date upon which such removal shall become effective.  Any
             Trustee may be removed with or without cause (i) by the vote
             of the Shareholders entitled to vote more than fifty percent
             (50%) of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter voting
             together without regard to series or class at any meeting
             called for such purpose, or (ii) by a written consent filed
             with the custodian of the Trust's portfolio securities and

                                           8

             executed by the Shareholders entitled to vote more than fifty
             percent (50%) of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter
             voting together without regard to series or class.

                  Whenever ten or more Shareholders of record who have
             been such for at least six months preceding the date of
             application, and who hold in the aggregate Shares
             constituting at least one percent of the outstanding Shares
             of the Trust, shall apply to the Trustees in writing, stating
             that they wish to communicate with other Shareholders with a
             view to obtaining signatures to a request for a meeting to
             consider removal of a Trustee and accompanied by a form of
             communication and request that they wish to transmit, the
             Trustees shall within five business days after receipt of
             such application inform such applicants as to the approximate
             cost of mailing to the Shareholders of record the proposed
             communication and form of request.  Upon the written request
             of such applicants, accompanied by a tender of the material
             to be mailed and of the reasonable expenses of mailing, the
             Trustees shall, within reasonable promptness, mail such
             material to all Shareholders of record at their addresses as
             recorded on the books of the Trust.  Notwithstanding the
             foregoing, the Trustees may refuse to mail such material on
             the basis and in accordance with the procedures set forth in
             the last two paragraphs of Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act.

                  (f)  Vacancies.  Any vacancy or anticipated vacancy
             resulting from any reason, including without limitation the
             death, resignation, retirement, removal or incapacity of any
             of the Trustees, or resulting from an increase in the number
             of Trustees by the other Trustees may (but so long as there
             are at least three remaining Trustees, need not unless
             required by the 1940 Act) be filled either by a majority of
             the remaining Trustees, even if less than a quorum, through
             the appointment in writing of such other person as such
             remaining Trustees in their discretion shall determine or,
             whenever deemed appropriate by the remaining Trustees, by the
             election by the Shareholders, at a meeting called for such
             purpose, of a person to fill such vacancy.  Upon the
             appointment or election and qualification of a new Trustee as
             aforesaid, the Trust estate shall vest in the new Trustee,
             together with the continuing Trustees, without any further
             act or conveyance, except that any such appointment or
             election in anticipation of a vacancy to occur by reason of
             retirement, resignation, or increase in number of Trustees to
             be effective at a later date shall become effective only at
             or after the effective date of said retirement, resignation,
             or increase in number of Trustees.

                  (g)  Mandatory Election by Shareholders. 
             Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1,
             the Trustees shall call a meeting of the Shareholders for the

                                           9


<PAGE>   10

             election of one or more Trustees at such time or times as may
             be required in order that the provisions of the 1940 Act may
             be complied with, and the authority hereinabove provided for
             the Trustees to appoint any successor Trustee or Trustees
             shall be restricted if such appointment would result in
             failure of the Trust to comply with any provision of the 1940
             Act.

                  (h)  Effect of Death, Resignation, Etc.  The death,
             resignation, retirement, removal or incapacity of the
             Trustees, or any one of them, shall not operate to annul or
             terminate the Trust or to revoke or terminate any existing
             agency or contract created or entered into pursuant to the
             terms of this Declaration of Trust.

                  (i)  No Accounting.  Except under circumstances which
             would justify his removal for cause, no person ceasing to be
             a Trustee as a result of his death, resignation, retirement,
             removal or incapacity (nor the estate of any such person)
             shall be required to make an accounting to the Shareholders
             or remaining Trustees upon such cessation.

             Powers
             ------

                  Section 2.  The Trustees, subject only to the specific
             limitations contained in this Declaration of Trust or
             otherwise imposed by the 1940 Act or other applicable law,
             shall have, without further or other authorization and free
             from any power or control of the Shareholders, full, absolute
             and exclusive power, control and authority over the Trust
             assets and the business and affairs of the Trust to the same
             extent as if the Trustees were the sole and absolute owners
             thereof in their own right and to do all such acts and things
             as in their sole judgment and discretion are necessary and
             incidental to, or desirable for the carrying out of any of
             the purposes of the Trust or conducting the business of the
             Trust.  Any determination made in good faith by the Trustees
             of the purposes of the Trust or the existence of any power or
             authority hereunder shall be conclusive.  In construing the
             provisions of this Declaration of Trust, there shall be a
             presumption in favor of the grant of power and authority to
             the Trustees.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Trustees
             may adopt By-Laws not inconsistent with this Declaration of
             Trust containing provisions relating to the business of the
             Trust, the conduct of its affairs, its rights or powers and
             the rights or powers of its Shareholders, Trustees, officers,
             employees and other agents and may amend and repeal them to
             the extent that such By-Laws do not reserve that right to the
             Shareholders; fill vacancies in their number, including
             vacancies resulting from increases in their number, unless a
             vote of the Trust's Shareholders is required to fill such

                                          10

             vacancies pursuant to the 1940 Act; elect and remove such
             officers and appoint and terminate such agents as they
             consider appropriate; appoint from their own number, and
             terminate, any one or more committees consisting of two or
             more Trustees, including an executive committee which may,
             when the Trustees are not in session, exercise some or all of
             the powers and authority of the Trustees as the Trustees may
             determine; appoint an advisory board, the members of which
             shall not be Trustees and need not be Shareholders; employ
             one or more investment advisers or managers as provided in
             Section 6 of this Article IV; employ one or more custodians
             of the assets of the Trust and authorize such custodians to
             employ subcustodians and to deposit all or any part of such
             assets in a system or systems for the central handling of
             securities; retain a transfer agent or a Shareholder services
             agent, or both; provide for the distribution of Shares by the
             Trust, through one or more principal underwriters or
             otherwise; set record dates for the determination of
             Shareholders with respect to various matters; and in general
             delegate such authority as they consider desirable to any
             officer of the Trust, to any committee of the Trustees and to
             any agent or employee of the Trust or to any such custodian
             or underwriter.

                  In furtherance of and not in limitation of the
             foregoing, the Trustees shall have power and authority:

             proper, granting to such person or persons such power and
             discretion with relation to securities or property as the
             Trustees shall deem proper;

                  (f)  To exercise powers and rights of subscription or
             otherwise which in any manner arise out of ownership of
             securities;

                  The Trustees shall not in any way be bound or limited by
             any present or future law or custom in regard to investments
             by trustees of common law trusts.  Except as otherwise
             provided herein or from time to time in the By-Laws, any
             action to be taken by the Trustees may be taken by a majority
             of the Trustees present at a meeting of Trustees (if a quorum
             by present), within or without Massachusetts, including any
             meeting held by means of a conference telephone or other

             participating in the meeting can communicate with each other
             simultaneously and participation by such means shall
             constitute presence in person at a meeting, or by written
             consents of a majority of the Trustees then in office.

             Payment of Expenses, Allocation of Liabilities
             ----------------------------------------------

                  Section 3.  The Trustees are authorized to pay or to
             cause to be paid out of the principal or income of the Trust,
             or partly out of principal and partly out of income, as they
             deem fair, all expenses, fees, charges, taxes and liabilities
             incurred or arising in connection with the Trust, or in
             connection with the management thereof, including, but not
             limited to, the Trustees' compensation and such expenses and
             charges for the services of the Trust's officers, employees,
             investment adviser or manager, principal underwriter,
             auditor, counsel, custodian, transfer agent, shareholder
             servicing agent, and such other agents or independent
             contractors and such other expenses and charges as the
             Trustees may deem necessary or proper to incur.

                  The assets of a particular series of Shares shall be
             charged with the liabilities (including, in the discretion of
             the Trustees or their delegate, accrued expenses and
             reserves) incurred in respect of such series (but not with
             liabilities incurred in respect of any other series) and such
             series shall also be charged with its share of any other
             liabilities.  Any allocation of the liabilities of a series
             among classes of Shares of that series shall be done in a
             manner consistent with the preferences and special or
             relative rights or privileges of such classes.  The
             determination of the Trustees shall be final and conclusive
             as to the amount of liabilities to be charged to one or more
             particular series or class.  The Trustees may delegate from
             time to time the power to make such allocation to one or more
             Trustees or to an agent of the Trust appointed for such
             purpose.  The liabilities with which a series is so charged
             are herein referred to as the "liabilities of" such series.

                                          14


<PAGE>   15

                  Section 4.  The Trustees shall have the power, as
             frequently as they may determine, to cause each Shareholder
             to pay directly, in advance or arrears, for charges for the
             Trust's custodian or transfer or shareholder service or
             similar agent, an amount fixed from time to time by the
             Trustees, by setting off such charges due from such
             Shareholder from declared but unpaid dividends owed such
             Shareholder and/or by reducing the number of Shares in the
             account of such Shareholder by that number of full and/or
             fractional Shares which represents the outstanding amount of
             such charges due from such Shareholder.

             Ownership of Assets of the Trust
             --------------------------------

                  Section 5.  Title to all of the assets of each series of
             the Trust and of the Trust shall at all times be considered
             as vested in the Trustees.


             Advisory, Management and Distribution
             -------------------------------------

                  Section 6.  Subject to a favorable vote of a majority of
             the outstanding voting securities of a series of the Trust,
             the Trustees may on behalf of such series, at any time and
             from time to time, contract for exclusive or nonexclusive
             advisory and/or management services for such series with a
             corporation, trust, association or other organization, every
             such contract to comply with such requirements and
             restrictions as may be set forth in the By-Laws; and any such
             contract may contain such other terms interpretive of or in
             addition to said requirements and restrictions as the
             Trustees may determine, including, without limitation,
             authority to determine from time to time what investments
             shall be purchased, held, sold or exchanged and what portion,
             if any, of the assets of such series shall be held uninvested
             and to make changes in such series' investments.  The
             Trustees may also, at any time and from time to time,
             contract with a corporation, trust, association or other
             organization, appointing it exclusive or nonexclusive
             distributor or principal underwriter for the Shares, every
             such contract to comply with such requirements and
             restrictions as may be set forth in the By-Laws; and any such
             contract may contain such other terms interpretive of or in
             addition to said requirements and restrictions as the
             Trustees may determine.

                  The fact that:

                      (a)  any of the Shareholders, Trustees or officers 
                 of the Trust is a shareholder, director, officer,

                       Shareholders' Voting Powers and Meetings

             Voting Powers
             -------------

                  Section 1.  Subject to the voting provisions of one or
             more classes of Shares, the Shareholders shall have power to
             vote only: (a) for the election or removal of Trustees as
             provided in Article IV, Section 1; (b) with respect to any
             investment advisor or manager as provided in Article IV,
             Section 6; (c) with respect to any termination or
             reorganization of the Trust or any series or class thereof to
             the extent and as provided in Article IX, Section 1; (d) with
             respect to any amendment of this Declaration of Trust to the
             extent and as provided in Article IX, Section 4; and (e) with
             respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as
             may be required by law, the 1940 Act, this Declaration of
             Trust, the By-Laws or any registration of the Trust with the
             Securities and Exchange Commission (or any successor agency)

             or any state, or as the Trustees may consider necessary or
             desirable.  

                  Each whole Share shall be entitled to one vote as to any
             matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional
             Share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote.
             Notwithstanding any other provision of the Declaration of
             Trust, on any matter submitted to a vote of Shareholders all
             Shares of the Trust then entitled to vote shall, except to
             the extent otherwise required or permitted by the preferences
             and special or relative rights or privileges of any classes
             of Shares, be voted by individual series and not in the
             aggregate or by class, except (a) when required by the 1940
             Act, Shares shall be voted in the aggregate and not by
             individual series; and (b) when the Trustees have determined
             that the matter affects only the interests of one or more
             series or classes, then only Shareholders of such series or
             class shall be entitled to vote thereon.  There shall be no
             cumulative voting in the election of Trustees.  Shares may be
             voted in person or by proxy.

                  A proxy with respect to Shares held in the name of two
             or more persons shall be valid if executed by any one of them
             unless at or prior to the exercise of the proxy the Trust
             receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any
             one of them.  A proxy purporting to be executed by or on
             behalf of a Shareholder shall be deemed valid unless
             challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of
             proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger.

                  Until Shares of any series or class are issued, the
             Trustees may exercise all rights of Shareholders and may take
             any action required by law, this Declaration of Trust or the
             By-Laws to be taken by Shareholders of such series or class.

             Shareholder Meetings
             --------------------

                  Section 2.  Meetings of Shareholders (including meetings
             involving only one or more but less than all series or
             classes) may be called and held from time to time for the
             purpose of taking action upon any matter requiring the vote
             or authority of the Shareholders as herein provided or upon
             any other matter deemed by the Trustees to be necessary or
             desirable.  Such meetings shall be held at the principal
             office of the Trust as set forth in the By-Laws of the Trust,
             or at any such other place within the United States as may be
             designated in the call thereof, which call shall be made by
             the Trustees or the President of the Trust.  Meetings of
             Shareholders may be called by the Trustees or such other
             person or persons as may be specified in the By-Laws upon
             written application by Shareholders holding at least

                                          17


<PAGE>   18
             twenty-five percent (25%) (or ten percent (10%) if the
             purpose of the meeting is to determine if a Trustee is to be
             removed from office) of the Shares then outstanding of all
             series and classes entitled to vote at such meeting
             requesting a meeting be called for a purpose requiring action
             by the Shareholders as provided herein or in the By-Laws
             which purpose shall be specified in any such written
             application.

                  Shareholders shall be entitled to at least seven days'
             written notice of any meeting of the Shareholders.

             Quorum and Required Vote
             ------------------------

                  Section 3.  The presence at a meeting of Shareholders in
             person or by proxy of Shareholders entitled to vote at least
             thirty percent (30%) of all votes entitled to be cast at the
             meeting of each series or class entitled to vote as a series
             or class shall be a quorum for the transaction of business at
             a Shareholders' meeting, except that where any provision of
             law of of this Declaration of Trust permits or requires that
             the holders of Shares shall vote in the aggregate and not as
             a series or class, then the presence in person or by proxy of
             Shareholders entitled to vote at least thirty percent (30%)
             of all votes entitled to be cast at the meeting (without
             regard to series or class) shall constitute a quorum.  Any
             lesser number, however, shall be sufficient for adjournments. 
             Any adjourned session or sessions may be held within a
             reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting
             without the necessity of further notice.

                  Except when a larger vote is required by any provisions
             of the 1940 Act, this Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws, a
             majority of the Shares of each series or class voted on the
             matter shall decide that matter insofar as that series or
             class is concerned, provided that where any provision of law,
             this Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws permits or requires
             that the holders of Shares vote in the aggregate and not as a
             series or class, then a majority of the Shares voted on any
             matter (without regard to series or class) shall decide such
             matter and a plurality shall elect a Trustee.

             Action by Written Consent
             -------------------------

                  Section 4.  Any action taken by Shareholders may be
             taken without a meeting if Shareholders entitled to vote more
             than fifty percent (50%) of the votes entitled to be cast on
             the matter of each series or class or, where any provision of
             law, this Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws permits or
             requires that the holders of Shares vote in the aggregate and

                                          18


<PAGE>   19

             not as a series or class, if Shareholders entitled to vote
             more than fifty percent (50%) of the votes entitled to be
             cast thereon (without regard to series or class) (or in
             either case such larger vote as shall be required by any
             provision of this Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws)
             consent to the action in writing and such written consents
             are filed with the records of the meetings of Shareholders. 
             Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote
             taken at a meeting of Shareholders.

             Additional Provisions
             ---------------------

                  Section 5.  The By-Laws may include further provisions
             for Shareholders' votes and meetings and related matters not
             inconsistent with the provisions hereof.





                                      ARTICLE VI
                                      ----------

                      Distributions, Redemptions and Repurchases,
                         and Determination of Net Asset Value
                         ------------------------------------

             Distributions
             -------------

                  Section 1.  The Trustees may in their sole discretion
             from time to time distribute to the Shareholders of any
             series such income and gains, accrued or realized, as the
             Trustees may determine, after providing for actual and
             accrued expenses and liabilities of such series (including
             such reserves as the Trustees may establish) determined in
             accordance with this Declaration of Trust and good accounting
             practices.  The Trustees shall have full discretion to
             determine which items shall be treated as income and which
             items as capital and their determination shall be binding
             upon the Shareholders.  Distributions to any series, if any
             be made, shall be in Shares of such series, in cash or
             otherwise and on a date or dates determined by the Trustees. 
             At any time and from time to time in their discretion, the
             Trustees may distribute to the Shareholders of any series as
             of a record date or dates determined by the Trustees, in
             Shares of such series, in cash or otherwise, all or part of
             any gains realized on the sale or disposition of property of
             the series or otherwise, or all or part of any other
             principal of the Trust attributable to the series.  Except to
             extent otherwise required or permitted by the preferences and

                                          19





<PAGE>   20

             special or relative rights or privileges of any classes of
             Shares of that series, each distribution pursuant to this
             Section 1 shall be made ratably according to the number of
             Shares of the series held by the several Shareholders on the
             applicable record date thereof, provided that distributions
             from assets of a series may only be made to the holders of
             the Shares of such series and provided that no distributions
             need be made on Shares purchased pursuant to orders received,
             or for which payment is made, after such time or times as the
             Trustees may determine.  Any distribution to the Shareholders
             of a particular class of Shares shall be made to such
             Shareholders prorata in proportion to the numbers of Shares
             of such class held by each of them.  Any distribution paid in
             Shares will be paid at the net asset value thereof as
             determined in accordance with this Declaration of Trust.  The
             Trustees have the power, in their discretion, to distribute
             for any year amounts sufficient to enable the Trust to
             qualify as a "regulated investment company" under the
             Internal Revenue Code as amended (or any successor thereto)
             to avoid any liability for federal income tax in respect of
             that year.

             Redemptions and Repurchases
             ---------------------------

                  Section 2.  Any holder of Shares of the Trust may, by
             presentation of a request in proper form, together with his
             certificates, if any, for such Shares, in proper form for
             transfer to the Trust or duly authorized agent of the Trust,
             request redemption of his shares for the net asset value
             thereof determined and computed in accordance with the
             provisions of this Section 2 and the provisions of Section 6
             of this Article VI.

                  Upon receipt by the Trust or its duly authorized agent,
             as the case may be, of such a request for redemption of
             Shares in proper form, such Shares shall be redeemed at the
             net asset value per share of the particular series or class
             next determined after such request is received or determined
             as of such other time fixed by the Trustees as may be
             permitted or required by the 1940 Act.  The criteria for
             determining what constitutes a request for redemption in
             proper form and the time of receipt of such request shall be
             fixed by the Trustees.

                  The obligation of the Trust to redeem its Shares as set
             forth above in this Section 2 shall be subject to the
             condition that such obligation may be suspended by the Trust
             by or under authority of the Trustees during any period or
             periods when and to the extent permissible under the 1940
             Act.  If there is such a suspension, any Shareholder may
             withdraw any request for redemption which has been received

                                          20


<PAGE>   21

             by the Trust during any such period and the applicable net
             asset value with respect to which would but for such
             suspension be calculated as of a time during such period. 
             Upon such withdrawal, the Trust shall return to the
             Shareholder the certificates therefor, if any.

                  The Trust may also purchase, repurchase or redeem Shares
             in accordance with such other methods, upon such other terms
             and subject to such other conditions as the Trustee may from
             time to time authorize at a price not exceeding the net asset
             value of such Shares in effect when the purchase or
             repurchase or any contract to purchase or repurchase is made. 
             Shares redeemed or repurchased by the Trust hereunder shall
             be cancelled upon such redemption or repurchase without
             further action by the Trust or the Trustees and the number of
             issued and outstanding Shares of the relevant series and
             class shall thereupon by reduced by such amount.

             Payment for Shares Redeemed
             ---------------------------

                  Section 3.  Payment of the redemption price for Shares
             redeemed pursuant to this Article VI shall be made by the
             Trust or its duly authorized agent after receipt by the Trust
             or its duly authorized agent of a request for redemption in
             proper form (together with any certificates for such Shares
             as provided in Section 2 above) in accordance with procedures
             and subject to conditions prescribed by the Trustees;
             provided, however, that payment may be postponed during the
             period in which the redemption of Shares is suspended under
             Section 2 above.  Subject to any generally applicable
             limitation imposed by the Trustees, any payment on
             redemption, purchase or repurchase by the Trust of Shares
             may, if authorized by the Trustees, be made wholly or partly
             in kind, instead of in cash.  Such payment in kind shall be
             made by distributing securities or other property,
             constituting, in the opinion of the Trustees, a fair
             representation of the various types of securities and other
             property then held by the series of Shares being redeemed,
             purchased or repurchased (but not necessarily involving a
             portion of each of the series' holdings) and taken at their
             value used in determining the net asset value of the Shares
             in respect of which payment is made.

             Redemptions at the Option of the Trust
             --------------------------------------

                  Section 4.  The Trust shall have the right at its option
             and at any time and from time to time to redeem Shares of any
             Shareholder at the net asset value thereof as determined in
             accordance with Section 6 of this Article VI, if at such time
             such Shareholder owns fewer shares of a series or class than,

                                          21


<PAGE>   22


             or Shares of a series or class having an aggregate net asset
             value of less than, an amount determined from time to time by
             the Trustees.  Any such redemption at the option of the Trust
             shall be made in accordance with such other criteria and
             procedures for determining the Shares to be redeemed, the
             redemption date and the means of effecting such redemption as
             the Trustees may from time to time authorize.

             Additional Provisions Relating to Dividends, Redemptions and
             ------------------------------------------------------------
             Repurchases
             -----------

                  Section 5.  The completion of redemption, purchase or
             repurchase of Shares shall constitute a full discharge of the
             Trust and the Trustees with respect to such Shares.  No
             dividend or distribution (including, without limitation, any
             distribution paid upon termination of the Trust or of any
             series or class) with respect to, nor any redemption or
             repurchase of, the Shares of any series or class shall be
             effected by the Trust other than from the assets of such
             series.

             Determination of Net Asset Value
             --------------------------------

                  Section 6.  The term "net asset value" of each Share of
             a series or class as of any particular time shall be the
             quotient obtained by dividing the value, as at such time, of
             the net assets of such series or class (i.e., the value of
             the assets of such series or class less the liabilities of
             such series or class, exclusive of liabilities represented by
             the Shares of such series or class) by the total number of
             Shares of such series or class outstanding at such time, all
             determined and computed in accordance with the Trust's
             current prospectus.

             the Trust designated for the purpose by the Trustees shall
             determine the net asset value of the Shares of each series or
             class, and the Trustees shall fix the time or times as of
             which the net asset value of the Shares of each series or
             class shall be determined and shall fix the periods during
             which any such net asset value shall be effective as to
             sales, redemptions and repurchases of, and other transactions
             in, the Shares of such series or class, except as such times
             and periods for any such transaction may be fixed by other
             provisions of this Declaration of Trust or by the By-Laws.

                  Determinations in accordance with this Section 6 made in
             good faith shall be binding on all parties concerned.

             How Long Shares are Outstanding
             -------------------------------

                  Section 7.  Shares of the Trust surrendered to the Trust
             for redemption by it pursuant to the provisions of Section 2
             of this Article VI shall be deemed to be outstanding until
             the redemption price thereof is determined pursuant to this
             Article VI and, thereupon and until paid, the redemption
             price thereof shall be deemed to be a liability of the Trust. 
             Shares of the Trust purchased by the Trust in the open market
             shall be deemed to be outstanding until confirmation of
             purchase thereof by the Trust and, thereupon and until paid,
             the purchase price thereof shall be deemed to be a liability
             of the Trust.  Shares of the Trust redeemed by the Trust
             pursuant to Section 4 of this Article VI shall be deemed to
             be outstanding until said Shares are deemed to be redeemed in
             accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees pursuant
             to said Section 4.


                                      ARTICLE VII

               Compensation and Limitation of Liability of Trustees and
               --------------------------------------------------------
                                     Shareholders
                                     ------------
                                            

                  Section 1.  The Trustees as such shall be entitled to
             reasonable compensation from the Trust if the rate thereof is
             prescribed by such Trustees.  Nothing herein shall in any way
             prevent the employment of any Trustee for advisory,
             management, legal, accounting, investment banking or other
             services and payment for the same by the Trust, it being
             recognized that such employment may result in such Trustee
             being considered an Affiliated Person or an Interested
             Person.

             Limitation of Liability
             -----------------------

                  Section 2.  The Trustees shall not be responsible or
             liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any
             officer, agent, employee, investment advisor or manager,
             principal underwriter or custodian, nor shall any Trustee be
             responsible for the act or omission of any other Trustee. 
             Nothing in this Declaration of Trust shall protect any
             Trustee against any liability to which such Trustee would
             otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
             faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
             involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee.

                  Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate,
             Share or undertaking and every other act or thing whatsoever
             executed or done by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustee
             or any of them in connection with the Trust shall be
             conclusively deemed to have been executed or done only in or
             with respect to their or his capacity as Trustees or Trustee
             and neither such Trustees or Trustee nor the Shareholders
             shall be personally liable thereon.

                  Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or
             undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or by any officers
             or officer shall give notice that this Declaration of Trust
             is on file with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of
             Massachusetts and shall recite that the same was executed or
             made by or on behalf of the Trust by them as Trustees or
             Trustee or as officers or officer and not individually and
             that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon
             any of them or the Shareholders individually but are binding
             only upon the assets and property of the Trust or a
             particular series of Shares, and may contain such further
             recital as he or they may deem appropriate, but the omission
             thereof shall not operate to bind any Trustees or Trustee or
             officers or officer or Shareholders or Shareholder
             individually.

                  All persons extending credit to, contracting with or
             having any claim against the Trust or a particular series of
             Shares shall look only to the assets of the Trust or the
             assets of that particular series of Shares, as the case may
             be, for payment under such credit, contract or claim; and
             neither the Shareholders nor the Trustees, nor any of the
             Trust's officers, employees or agents, whether past, present
             or future, shall be personally liable therefor.

             Trustees' Good Faith Action, Expert Advice, No Bond or Surety
             -------------------------------------------------------------

                  Section 3.  The exercise by the Trustees of their powers
             and discretions hereunder shall be binding upon everyone
             interested.  A Trustee shall be liable only for his own
             willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
             disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office
             of Trustee, and for nothing else, and shall not be liable for
             errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law.  The Trustees
             may take advice of counsel or other experts with respect to
             the meaning and operation of this Declaration of Trust and
             their duties as Trustees hereunder, and shall be under no
             liability for any act or omission in accordance with such
             advice or for failing to follow such advice.  In discharging
             their duties, the Trustees, when acting in good faith, shall
             be entitled to rely upon the books of account of the Trust
             and upon written reports made to the Trustees by any officer

                                          24

             appointed by them, any independent public accountant and
             (with respect to the subject matter of the contract involved)
             any officer, partner or responsible employee of any other
             party to any contract entered into pursuant to Section 2 of
             Article IV.  The Trustees shall not be required to give any
             bond as such, nor any surety if a bond is required.

             Liability of Third Persons Dealing With Trustees
             ------------------------------------------------

                  Section 4.  No person dealing with the Trustees shall be
             bound to make any inquiry concerning the validity of any
             transaction made or to be made by the Trustees or to see to
             the application of any payments made or property transferred
             to the Trust or upon its order.


                                     ARTICLE VIII

                                    Indemnification
                                    ---------------

                  Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in
             this Article, every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or
             officer of the Trust (including persons who serve at the
             request of the Trust as directors, officers or trustees of
             another organization in which the Trust has an interest as a
             shareholder, creditor or otherwise) hereinafter referred to
             as a "Covered Person", shall be indemnified by the Trust to
             the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and
             against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in
             connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in
             which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue
             of his being or having been such a Trustee, director or
             officer and against amounts paid or incurred by him in
             settlement thereof.

                  No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a
             Covered Person:

                      (a)  against any liability to the Trust or its
                 Shareholders by reason of a final adjudication by the
                 court or other body before which the proceeding was
                 brought that he engaged in willful misfeasance, bad 
                 faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the
                 duties involved in the conduct of his office;

                      (b)  with respect to any matter as to which he shall
                 have been finally adjudicated not to have acted in good
                 faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the
                 best interest of the Trust; or


                                          25


<PAGE>   26


                      (c)  in the event of a settlement or other
                 disposition not involving a final adjudication (as
                 provided in paragraph (a) or (b)) and resulting in a 
                 payment by a Covered Person, unless there has been 
                 either a determination that such Covered Person did not
                 engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross 
                 negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved
                 in the conduct of his office by the court or other body
                 approving the settlement or other disposition or a
                 reasonable determination, based on a review of readily 
                 available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type 
                 inquiry) that he did not engage in such conduct:

                          (i)  by a vote of a majority of the
                     Disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided
                     that a majority of the Disinterested Trustees then in
                     office act on the matter); or

                          (ii) by written opinion of independent legal
                     counsel.

                  The rights of indemnification herein provided may be
             insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be
             severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any
             Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled, shall
             continue as to a person who has ceased to be such a Covered
             Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
             and administrators of such a person.  Nothing contained
             herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which
             Trust personnel other than Covered Persons may be entitled by
             contract or otherwise under law.

             Expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to any
             claim, action, suit or proceeding subject to a claim for
             indemnification under this Article shall be advanced by the
             Trust prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
             undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such
             amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled
             to indemnification under this Article, provided that either:

                      (a)  such undertaking is secured by a surety bond 
                 or some other appropriate security or the Trust shall be
                 insured against losses arising out of any such advances;
                 or

                      (b)  a majority of the Disinterested Trustees acting
                 on the matter (provided that a majority of the 
                 Disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter) 
                 or independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall  
                 determine, based upon a review of the readily available 
                 facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that


                                          26


<PAGE>   27

                 there is reason to believe that the recipient ultimately
                 will be found entitled to indemnification.

                  As used in this Article, a "Disinterested Trustee" is
             one (a) who is not an "interested person" of the Trust, as
             defined in the 1940 Act (including anyone who has been
             exempted from being an "interested person" by any rule,
             regulation or order of the Commission), and (b) against whom
             none of such actions, suits or other proceedings or another
             action, suit or other proceeding on the same or similar
             grounds is then or has been pending.

                  As used in this Article, the words "claim", "action",
             "suit" or "proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions,
             suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or other, including
             appeals), actual or threatened; and the words "liability" and
             "expenses" shall include without limitation, attorneys' fees,
             cost, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties
             and other liabilities.

                  In case any Shareholder or former Shareholder shall be
             held to be personally liable solely by reason of his or her
             being or having been a Shareholder and not because of his or
             her acts or omissions or for some other reason, the
             Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his or her heirs,
             executors, administrators or other legal representatives or
             in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate
             or other general successor) shall be entitled to be held
             harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense
             arising from such liability but only out of the assets of the
             particular series of Shares of which he or she is or was a
             Shareholder; provided, however, there shall be no liability
             or obligation of the Trust arising hereunder to reimburse any
             Shareholder for taxes paid by reason of such Shareholder's
             ownership of Shares or for losses suffered by reason of any
             changes in value of any Trust assets.

                                     Miscellaneous
                                     -------------

             Duration, Termination and Reorganization of Trust
             -------------------------------------------------

                  Section 1.  Unless terminated as provided herein, the
             Trust shall continue without limitation of time.  The Trust
             may be terminated at any time by the Trustees by written
             notice to the Shareholders without a vote of the Shareholders
             of the Trust or by the vote of the Shareholders entitled to
             vote more than fifty percent (50%) of the votes of each

                                          27

             series or class entitled to be cast on the matter.  Any
             series or class of Shares may be terminated at any time by
             the Trustees by written notice to the Shareholders of such
             series or class without a vote of the Shareholders of such
             series or class or by the vote of the Shareholders of such
             series or class entitled to vote more than fifty percent
             (50%) of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

                  Upon termination of the Trust or of any one or more
             series or classes of Shares, after paying or otherwise
             providing for all charges, taxes, expenses and liabilities,
             whether due or accrued or anticipated, of the particular
             series or class as may be determined by the Trustees, the
             Trust shall in accordance with such procedures as the
             Trustees consider appropriate reduce to the extent necessary
             the remaining assets of the particular series to
             distributable form in cash or other securities, or any
             combination thereof, and distribute the proceeds to the
             Shareholders of the series or class involved, ratably
             according the number of Shares of such series or class held
             by the several Shareholders of such series or class on the
             date of termination.  Any such distributions with respect to
             any series which has one or more classes of Shares
             outstanding shall be made ratably to such classes in the same
             proportion as the numbers of Shares of each class bears to
             the total number of Shares of the series, except to the
             extent otherwise required or permitted by the preferences and
             special or relative rights or privileges of any classes of
             Shares of any such series.  

                  At any time by the affirmative vote of the Shareholders
             of the affected series entitled to vote more than fifty
             percent (50%) of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter,
             the Trustees may sell, convey and transfer the assets of the
             Trust, or the assets belonging to any one or more series, to
             another trust, partnership, association or corporation
             organized under the laws of any state of the United States,
             or to the Trust to be held as assets belonging to another
             series of the Trust, in exchange for cash, shares or other
             securities (including, in the case of a transfer to another
             series of the Trust, Shares of such other series) with such
             transfer being made subject to, or with the assumption by the
             transferee of, the liabilities belonging to each series the
             assets of which are so distributed.  Following such transfer,
             the Trustees shall distribute such cash, shares or other
             securities (giving due effect to the assets and liabilities
             belonging to and any other differences among the various
             series the assets belonging to which have so been
             transferred) among the Shareholders of the series the assets
             belonging to which have been so transferred; and if all the
             assets of the Trust have been so distributed, the Trust shall
             be terminated.

                               Section 2.  Shareholders
                               ------------------------

          2.1  Shareholder Meetings.  Meetings of the shareholders may be
          called at any time by the Trustees, by the President or, if the
          Trustees and the President shall fail to call any meeting of
          shareholders for a period of 30 days after written application of
          one or more shareholders who hold at least 25% of all shares
          issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting (or
          10% if the purpose of the meeting is to determine if a Trustee
          shall be removed from office), then such shareholders may call
          such meeting.  Each call of a meeting shall state the place,
          date, hour and purposes of the meeting.

          2.2  Place of Meetings.  All meetings of the shareholders shall
          be held at the principal office of the Trust, or, to the extent
          permitted by the Declaration of Trust, at such other place within
          the United States as shall be designated by the Trustees or the
          President of the Trust.

          2.3  Notice of Meetings.  A written notice of each meeting of
          shareholders, stating the place, date and hour and the purposes
          of the meeting, shall be given at least seven days before the
          meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat by leaving
          such notice with him or at his residence or usual place of
          business or by mailing it, postage prepaid, and addressed to such
          shareholder at his address as it appears in the records of the
          Trust.  Such notice shall be given by the Secretary or an
<PAGE>   2
          Assistant Secretary or by an officer designated by the Trustees. 
          No notice of any meeting of shareholders need be given to a
          shareholder if a written waiver of notice, executed before or
          after the meeting by such shareholder or his attorney thereunto
          duly authorized, is filed with the records of the meeting.

          2.4  Ballots.  No ballot shall be required for any election
          unless requested by a shareholder present or represented at the
          meeting and entitled to vote in the election.

          2.5  Proxies and Voting.  Shareholders entitled to vote may vote
          either in person or by proxy in writing dated not more than six
          months before the meeting named therein, which proxies shall be
          filed with the Secretary or other person responsible to record
          the proceedings of the meeting before being voted.  Unless
          otherwise specifically limited by their terms, such proxies shall
          entitle the holders thereof to vote at any adjournment of such
          meeting but shall not be valid after the final adjournment of
          such meeting.  At all meetings of shareholders, unless the voting
          is conducted by inspectors, all questions relating to the
          qualification of voters, the validity of proxies and the
          acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by the chairman
          of the meeting.


                                 Section 3.  Trustees
                                 --------------------

          3.1  Committees and Advisory Board.  The Trustees may appoint
          from their number an executive committee and other committees. 
          Any such committee may be abolished and reconstituted at any time
          and from time to time by the Trustees.  Except as the Trustees
          may otherwise determine, any such committee may make rules for
          the conduct of its business.  The Trustees may appoint an
          advisory board to consist of not less than two nor more than five
          members.  The members of the advisory board shall be compensated
          in such manner as the Trustees may determine and shall confer
          with and advise the Trustees regarding the investments and other
          affairs of the Trust.  Each member of the advisory board shall
          hold office until the first meeting of the Trustees following the
          meeting of the shareholders, if any, next following his
          appointment and until his successor is appointed and qualified,
          or until he sooner dies, resigns, is removed, or becomes
          disqualified, or until the advisory board is sooner abolished by
          the Trustees.

          3.2  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Trustees may be
          held without call or notice at such places and at such times as
          the Trustees may from time to time determine, provided that
          notice of the first regular meeting following any such
          determination shall be given to absent Trustees.  A regular
          meeting of the Trustees may be held without call or notice

                                          2

          immediately after and at the same place as any meeting of the
          shareholders.

          3.3  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Trustees may be
          held at any time and at any place designated in the call of the
          meeting, when called by the Chairman of the Board or by two or
          more Trustees, sufficient notice thereof being given to each
          Trustee by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or by the
          officer or one of the Trustees calling the meeting.

          3.4  Notice.  It shall be sufficient notice to a Trustee to send
          notice by mail at least three days or by telegram at least
          twenty-four hours before the meeting addressed to the Trustee at
          his or her usual or last known business or residence address or
          to give notice to him or her in person or by telephone at least
          twenty-four hours before the meeting.  Notice of a meeting need
          not be given to any Trustee if a written waiver of notice,
          executed by him or her before or after the meeting, is filed with
          the records of the meeting, or to any Trustee who attends the
          meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement
          the lack of notice to him or her.  Neither notice of a meeting
          nor a waiver of a notice need specify the purposes of the
          meeting.

          3.5  Quorum.  At any meeting of the Trustees, one-third of the
          Trustees then in office shall constitute a quorum; provided,
          however, a quorum (unless the Board of Trustees consists of two
          or fewer persons) shall not be less than two.  Any meeting may be
          adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes cast upon
          the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and the meeting
          may be held as adjourned without further notice.


                           Section 4.  Officers and Agents
                           -------------------------------

          time designate.

          Trustee.  The Chairman of the Board, if any is so appointed,
          shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and of the
          Trustees at which he is present; and shall have such other duties

          Secretary, or if there be none or if he or she is absent, a
          temporary clerk chosen at the meeting shall record the
          proceedings thereof in the aforesaid books.


                        Section 5.  Resignations and Removals
                        -------------------------------------

          Any Trustee may resign his trust or retire as a Trustee in
          accordance with procedures set forth in the Declaration of Trust. 
          Any officer or advisory board member may resign at any time by
          delivering his or her resignation in writing to the Chairman of
          the Board, the President or the Secretary or to a meeting of the
          Trustees.  The Trustees may remove any officer or advisory board
          member elected or appointed by them with or without cause by the
          vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office.  Except to the
          extent expressly provided in a written agreement with the Trust,
          no Trustee, officer, or advisory board member resigning, and no
          officer or advisory board member removed, shall have any right to
          any compensation for any period following his or her resignation
          or removal, or any right to damages on account of such removal.


                                Section 6.  Vacancies
                                ---------------------

          A vacancy in the office of Trustee shall be filed in accordance
          with the Declaration of Trust.  Vacancies resulting from the
          death, resignation, incapacity or removal of any officer may be
          filled by the Trustees.  Each successor of any such officer shall
          hold office for the unexpired term, and in the case of the
          President, the Treasurer and the Secretary, until his or her
          successor is chosen and qualified, or in each case until he or
          she sooner dies, resigns, is removed or becomes disqualified.


                      Section 7.  Shares of Beneficial Interest
                      -----------------------------------------

          7.1  Share Certificates.  No certificates certifying the
          ownership of shares shall be issued except as the Trustees may
          otherwise authorize.  In the event that the Trustees authorize
          the issuance of share certificates, subject to the provisions of
          Section 7.3, each shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate

                                          5
<PAGE>   6
          stating the number of shares owned by him or her, in such form as
          shall be prescribed from time to time by the Trustees.  Such
          certificate shall be signed by the President or a Vice President
          and by the Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant
          Secretary.  Such signatures may be facsimiles if the certificate
          is signed by a transfer or shareholder services agent or by a
          registrar, other than a Trustee, officer or employee of the
          Trust.  In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile
          signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased
          to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be
          issued by the Trust with the same effect as if he or she were
          such officer at the time of its issue.

          In lieu of issuing certificates for shares, the Trustees or the
          transfer or shareholder services agent may either issue receipts
          therefor or may keep accounts upon the books of the Trust for the
          record holders of such shares, who shall in either case be
          deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be the holders of
          certificates for such shares as if they had accepted such
          certificates and shall be held to have expressly assented and
          agreed to the terms hereof.

          7.2  Loss of Certificates.  In the case of the alleged loss or
          destruction or the mutilation of a share certificate, a duplicate
          certificate may be issued in place thereof, upon such terms as
          the Trustees may prescribe.

          7.3  Discontinuance of Issuance of Certificates.  The Trustees
          may at any time discontinue the issuance of share certificates
          and may, by written notice to each shareholder, require the
          surrender of share certificates to the Trust for cancellation. 
          Such surrender and cancellation shall not affect the ownership of
          shares in the Trust.


                               Section 8.  Record Date
                               -----------------------

          The Trustees may fix in advance a time, which shall not be more
          than 90 days before the date of any meeting of shareholders or
          the date for the payment of any dividend or making of any other
          distribution to shareholders, as the record date for determining
          the shareholders having the right to notice and to vote at such
          meeting and any adjournment thereof or the right to receive such
          dividend or distribution, and in such case only shareholders of
          record on such record date shall have such right, notwithstanding
          any transfer of shares on the books of the Trust after the record
          date.

                                   ----------------

          The seal of the Trust shall, subject to alteration by the
          Trustees, consist of a flat-faced circular die with the word
          "Massachusetts" together with the name of the Trust, cut or
          engraved thereon; but, unless otherwise required by the Trustees,
          the seal shall not be necessary to be placed on, and its absence
          shall not impair the validity of, any document, instrument, or
          other paper executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Trust.


                           Section 10.  Execution of Papers
                           --------------------------------

          Except as the Trustees may generally or in particular cases
          authorize the execution thereof in some other manner, all deeds,
          leases, transfers, contracts, bonds, notes, checks, drafts and
          other obligations made, accepted or endorsed by the Trust shall
          be signed, and any transfers of securities standing in the name
          of the Trust shall be executed, by the President or by one of the
          Vice Presidents or by the Treasurer or by whomsoever else shall
          be designated for that purpose by the vote of the Trustees and
          need not bear the seal of the Trust.


                               Section 11.  Fiscal Year
                               ------------------------

          The fiscal year of the Trust shall end on such date in each year
          as the Trustees shall from time to time determine.


                               Section 12.  Amendments
                               -----------------------

          These By-Laws may be amended or repealed, in whole or in part, by
          a majority of the Trustees then in office at any meeting of the
          Trustees, or by one or more writings signed by such majority.

             to render investment advisory and management services to the
             Government Securities Portfolio, and the Adviser is willing
             to render such services;

             NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
             hereinafter contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the
             parties hereto as follows:

             1.   The Fund hereby employs the Adviser to act as the
             investment adviser for the Government Securities Portfolio
             and other Portfolios hereunder and to manage the investment
             and reinvestment of the assets of each such Portfolio in
             accordance with the applicable investment objectives and
             policies and limitations, and to administer the affairs of
             each such Portfolio to the extent requested by and subject to
             the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Fund for the
             period and upon the terms herein set forth.  The investment
             of funds shall be subject to all applicable restrictions of
             the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the
             Fund as may from time to time be in force.

             The Adviser accepts such employment and agrees during such
             period to render such services, to furnish office facilities
             and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and administrative
             services for the Fund, to permit any of its officers or
<PAGE>   2
             employees to serve without compensation as trustees or
             officers of the Fund if elected to such positions and to
             assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation
             herein provided.  The Adviser shall for all purposes herein
             provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and,
             unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have
             no authority to act for or represent the Fund in any way or
             otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund.  It is understood
             and agreed that the Adviser, by separate agreements with the
             Fund, may also serve the Fund in other capacities.

             2.   In the event that the Fund establishes one or more
             portfolios other than the Government Securities Portfolio
             with respect to which it desires to retain the Adviser to
             render investment advisory and management services hereunder,
             it shall notify the Adviser in writing.  If the Adviser is
             willing to render such services, it shall notify the Fund in
             writing whereupon such portfolio or portfolios shall become a
             Portfolio or Portfolios hereunder.

             3.   For the services and facilities described in Section 1,
             the Fund will pay to the Adviser at the end of each calendar
             month, an investment management fee computed at an annual
             rate of .25 of 1% of the first $200,000,000 of average daily
             net assets of all Portfolios subject to this Agreement, .19
             of 1% of the next $300,000,000 and .15 of 1% of average daily
             net assets of all Portfolios subject to this Agreement over
             $500,000,000.  The fee as computed above shall be allocated
             as an expense of each Portfolio based upon the relative daily
             net assets of such Portfolios.  For the month and year in
             which this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, there
             shall be an appropriate proration on the basis of the number
             of days that the Agreement is in effect during the month and
             year, respectively.

             4.   The services of the Adviser to the Fund under this
             Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser
             shall be free to render similar services or other services to
             others so long as its services hereunder are not impaired
             thereby.

             5.   In addition to the fee of the Adviser, the Fund shall
             assume and pay any expenses for services rendered by a
             custodian for the safekeeping of the Fund's securities or
             other property, for keeping its books of account, for any
             other charges of the custodian, and for calculating the net
             asset value of the Fund as provided in the prospectus of the
             Fund.  The Adviser shall not be required to pay and the Fund
             shall assume and pay the charges and expenses of its
             operations, including compensation of the trustees (other
             than those affiliated with the Adviser), charges and expenses
             of independent auditors, of legal counsel, of any transfer or

                                           2
<PAGE>   3
             dividend disbursing agent, and of any registrar of the Fund,
             costs of acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities,
             interest, if any, on obligations incurred by the Fund, costs
             of share certificates and of reports, membership dues in the
             Investment Company Institute or any similar organization,
             costs of reports and notices to shareholders, other like
             miscellaneous expenses and all taxes and fees payable to
             federal, state or other governmental agencies on account of
             the registration of securities issued by the Fund, filing of
             trust documents or otherwise.  The Fund shall not pay or
             incur any obligation for any expenses for which the Fund
             intends to seek reimbursement from the Adviser as herein
             provided without first obtaining the written approval of the
             Adviser.  The Adviser shall arrange, if desired by the Fund,
             for officers or employees of the Adviser to serve, without
             compensation from the Fund, as trustees, officers or agents
             of the Fund if duly elected or appointed to such positions
             and subject to their individual consent and to any
             limitations imposed by law.

             If expenses borne by the Fund for those Portfolios which the
             Adviser manages in any fiscal year (including the Adviser's
             fee, but excluding interest, taxes, fees incurred in
             acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, distribution
             services fees, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses
             excludable under state securities law limitations) exceed any
             applicable limitation arising under state securities laws,
             the Adviser will reduce its fee or reimburse the Fund for any
             excess to the extent required by such state securities laws. 
             The expense limitation guarantee shall be allocated to each
             such Portfolio upon a fee reduction or reimbursement based
             upon the relative average daily net assets of each such
             Portfolio.  If for any month the expenses of the Fund
             properly chargeable to the income account shall exceed 1/12
             of the percentage of average net assets allowable as
             expenses, the payment to the Adviser for that month shall be
             reduced and if necessary the Adviser shall make a refund
             payment to the Fund so that the total net expense will not
             exceed such percentage.  As of the end of the Fund's fiscal
             year, however, the foregoing computations and payments shall
             be readjusted so that the aggregate compensation payable to
             the Adviser for the year is equal to the percentage set forth
             in Section 3 hereof of the average net asset value as
             determined as described herein throughout the fiscal year,
             diminished to the extent necessary so that the total of the
             aforementioned expense items of the Fund shall not exceed the
             expense limitation.  The aggregate of repayments, if any, by
             the Adviser to the Fund for the year shall be the amount
             necessary to limit the said net expense to said percentage in
             accordance with the foregoing.



                                           3
<PAGE>   4
             The net asset value for each Portfolio shall be calculated in
             accordance with the provisions of the Fund's prospectus or at
             such other time or times as the trustees may determine in
             accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act
             of 1940.  On each day when net asset value is not calculated,
             the net asset value of a share of a Portfolio shall be deemed
             to be the net asset value of such a share as of the close of
             business on the last day on which such calculation was made
             for the purpose of the foregoing computations.

             6.   Subject to applicable statutes and regulations, it is
             understood that trustees, officers or agents of the Fund are
             or may be interested in the Adviser as officers, directors,
             agents, shareholders or otherwise, and that the officers,
             directors, shareholders and agents of the Adviser may be
             interested in the Fund otherwise than as a trustee, officer
             or agent.

             7.   The Adviser shall not be liable for any error of
             judgment or of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in
             connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates,
             except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or
             gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in the
             performance of its obligations and duties or by reason of its
             reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this
             Agreement.

             8.   This Agreement shall become effective with respect to
             the Government Securities Portfolio on the date hereof and
             shall remain in full force until December 1, 1992, unless
             sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.  This Agreement
             shall continue in force from year to year thereafter with
             respect to each Portfolio, but only as long as such
             continuance is specifically approved for each Portfolio at
             least annually in the manner required by the Investment
             Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder;
             provided, however, that if the continuation of this Agreement
             is not approved for a Portfolio, the Adviser may continue to
             serve in such capacity for such Portfolio in the manner and
             to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940
             and the rules and regulations thereunder.

             This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of
             its assignment and may be terminated at any time without the
             payment of any penalty by the Fund or by the Adviser on sixty
             (60) days written notice to the other party.  The Fund may
             effect termination with respect to any Portfolio by action of
             the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the
             outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio.

             This Agreement may be terminated with respect to any
             Portfolio at any time without the payment of any penalty by

                                           4
<PAGE>   5
             the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the
             outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio in the event
             that it shall have been established by a court of competent
             jurisdiction that the Adviser or any officer or director of
             the Adviser has taken any action which results in a breach of
             the covenants of the Adviser set forth herein.

             The terms "assignment" and "vote of a majority of the
             outstanding voting securities" shall have the meanings set
             forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and
             regulations thereunder.

             Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of
             the Adviser to receive payments on any unpaid balance of the
             compensation described in Section 3 earned prior to such
             termination.

             9.   If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made
             invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the
             remainder shall not be thereby affected.

             10.  Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing,
             addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
             other party at such address as such other party may designate
             for the receipt of such notice.

             11.  All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of the
             Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and all amendments
             thereto, all of which are on file with the Secretary of The
             Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the limitation of
             shareholder and trustee liability contained therein.  This
             Agreement has been executed by and on behalf of the Fund by
             its representatives as such representatives and not
             individually, and the obligations of the Fund hereunder are
             not binding upon any of the trustees, officers, or
             shareholders of the Fund individually but are binding upon
             only the assets and property of the Fund.  With respect to
             any claim by the Adviser for recovery of that portion of the
             investment management fee (or any other liability of the Fund
             arising hereunder) allocated to a particular Portfolio,
             whether in accordance with the express terms hereof or
             otherwise, the Adviser shall have recourse solely against the
             assets of that Portfolio to satisfy such claim and shall have
             no recourse against the assets of any other Portfolio for
             such purpose.

             12.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
             applicable federal law and (except as to Section 11 hereof
             which shall be construed in accordance with the laws of The
             Commonwealth of Massachusetts) the laws of the State of
             Illinois.

             13.  This Agreement supersedes the prior agreement dated
             September 21, 1990 between the parties which relates to the
             subject matter hereof.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund and the Adviser have caused this
             Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first above
             written.

                     AMENDMENT TO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT



               Agreement made as of this 1st day of December, 1993, between
          INVESTORS CASH TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust (the
          "Fund"), and KEMPER FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware
          corporation (the "Adviser").

               WHEREAS, the Fund and the Adviser are parties to an
          Investment Management Agreement dated October 1, 1991; and

               WHEREAS, the Fund and the Adviser want to amend the
          Investment Management Agreement as hereinafter provided;

               NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
          mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is hereby agreed by
          and between the parties as follows:

               1.   Section 3 of the Investment Management Agreement is
          amended to read in its entirety as follows:

               For the services and facilities described in Section 1,
               the Fund will pay to the Adviser at the end of each
               calendar month, an investment management fee computed
               at an annual rate of .15 of 1% of average daily net
               assets of all Portfolios subject to this Agreement. 
               The fee as computed above shall be allocated as an
               expense of each Portfolio based upon the relative daily
               net assets of such Portfolios.  For the month and year
               in which this Agreement becomes effective or
               terminates, there shall be an appropriate proration on

                                                               EXHIBIT 99.B6.(a)


                                UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT


                  AGREEMENT made this 21st day of September, 1990, by and
             between INVESTORS CASH TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust
             (the "Fund"), and KEMPER FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware
             corporation ("KFS").

                  In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
             contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties
             hereto as follows:

                  1.  The Fund hereby appoints KFS to act as principal
             underwriter for the distribution of shares of beneficial
             interest (hereinafter called "shares") of the Fund in
             jurisdictions wherein shares of the Fund may legally be
             offered for sale; provided, however, that the Fund in its
             absolute discretion may (a) issue or sell shares directly to
             holders of shares of the Fund upon such terms and conditions
             and for such consideration, if any, as it may determine,
             whether in connection with the distribution of subscription
             or purchase rights, the payment or reinvestment of dividends
             or distributions, or otherwise; or (b) issue or sell shares
             at net asset value to the shareholders of any other
             investment company, for which KFS shall act as exclusive
             distributor, who wish to exchange all or a portion of their
             investment in shares of such other investment company for
             shares of the Fund.

                  KFS accepts such appointment and agrees that it will use
             its best efforts with reasonable promptness to sell such part
             of the authorized shares of the Fund remaining unissued as
             from time to time shall be effectively registered under the
             Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), at prices
             determined as hereinafter provided and on terms hereinafter
             set forth, all subject to applicable Federal and state laws
             and regulations and to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust
             of the Fund.  

                  2.  KFS shall sell shares of the Fund to or through
             qualified broker-dealers and other financial services firms
             ("Firms") in such manner, not inconsistent with the
             provisions hereof and the then effective registration
             statement of the Fund under the Securities Act (and related
             prospectus), as KFS may determine from time to time, provided
             that no Firm or other person shall be appointed or authorized
             to act as agent of the Fund without the prior consent of the
             Fund.  In addition to sales made by it as agent of the Fund,
             KFS may, in its discretion, also sell shares of the Fund as

<PAGE>   2

             principal to persons with whom it does not have selling
             agreements.

                  Shares of the Fund offered for sale or sold by KFS shall
             be so offered or sold at a price per share determined in
             accordance with the then current prospectus relating to the
             sale of such shares except as departure from such prices
             shall be permitted by the rules and regulations of the
             Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, that
             any public offering price for shares of the Fund shall be the
             net asset value per share.  The net asset value per share of
             each Portfolio of the Fund shall be determined in the manner
             and at the times set forth in the then current prospectus of
             the Fund relating to such shares.

                  The price the Fund shall receive for all shares
             purchased from the Fund shall be the net asset value used in
             determining the public offering price applicable to the sale
             of such shares.

                  3.  The Fund will use its best efforts to keep
             effectively registered under the Securities Act for sale as
             herein contemplated such shares as KFS shall reasonably
             request and as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall
             permit to be so registered.  Notwithstanding any other
             provision hereof, the Fund may terminate, suspend or withdraw
             the offering of shares whenever, in its sole discretion, it
             deems such action to be desirable.

                  4.  The Fund will execute any and all documents and
             furnish any and all information which may be reasonably
             necessary in connection with the qualification of its shares
             for sale (including the qualification of the Fund as a dealer
             where necessary or advisable) in such states as KFS may
             reasonably request (it being understood that the Fund shall
             not be required without its consent to comply with any
             requirement which in its opinion is unduly burdensome).  The
             Fund will furnish to KFS from time to time such information
             with respect to the Fund and its shares as KFS may reasonably
             request for use in connection with the sale of shares of the
             Fund.

                  5.  KFS shall issue and deliver or shall arrange for
             various Firms to issue and deliver on behalf of the Fund such
             confirmations of sales made by it as agent pursuant to this
             Agreement as may be required.  At or prior to the time of
             issuance of shares, KFS will pay or cause to be paid to the
             Fund the amount due the Fund for the sale of such shares. 
             Certificates shall be issued or shares registered on the
             transfer books of the Fund in such names and denominations as
             KFS may specify.

<PAGE>   3


                  6.  KFS shall order shares of the Fund from the Fund
             only to the extent that it shall have received purchase
             orders therefor.  KFS will not make, or authorize any Firms
             or others to make, any short sales of shares of the Fund. 
             KFS, as agent of and for the account of the Fund, may
             repurchase the shares of the Fund at such prices and upon
             such terms and conditions as shall be specified in the
             current prospectus of the Fund.  In selling or reacquiring
             shares of the Fund for the account of the Fund, KFS will in
             all respects conform to the requirements of all state and
             Federal laws and the Rules of Fair Practice of the National
             Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., relating to such
             sale or reacquisition, as the case may be, and will indemnify
             and save harmless the Fund from any damage or expense on
             account of any wrongful act by KFS or any employee,
             representative or agent of KFS.  KFS will observe and be
             bound by all the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration
             of Trust of the Fund (and of any fundamental policies adopted
             by the Fund pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940,
             notice of which shall have been given to KFS) which at the
             time in any way require, limit, restrict or prohibit or
             otherwise regulate any action on the part of KFS.

                  7.  The Fund shall assume and pay all charges and
             expenses of its operations not specifically assumed or
             otherwise to be provided by KFS under this Agreement.  The
             Fund will pay or cause to be paid expenses (including the
             fees and disbursements of its own counsel) and all taxes and
             fees payable to the Federal, state or other governmental
             agencies on account of the registration or qualification of
             securities issued by the Fund or otherwise.  The Fund will
             also pay or cause to be paid expenses incident to the
             issuance of shares of beneficial interest, such as the cost
             of share certificates, issue taxes, and fees of the transfer
             agent.  KFS will pay all expenses (other than expenses which
             one or more Firms may bear pursuant to any agreement with
             KFS) incident to the sale and distribution of the shares
             issued or sold hereunder including, without limiting the
             generality of the foregoing, all expenses of printing and
             distributing any prospectus and of preparing, printing and
             distributing or disseminating any other literature,
             advertising and selling aids in connection with the offering
             of the shares for sale (except that such expenses need not
             include expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with the
             preparation, typesetting, printing and distribution of any
             registration statement, prospectus or report or other
             communication to shareholders in their capacity as such) and
             expenses of advertising in connection with such offering.

                  8.  This agreement shall become effective on the date
             hereof and shall continue in effect until December 1, 1991
             and from year to year thereafter, but only so long as such

                                           3

<PAGE>   4


             continuance is approved in the manner required by the
             Investment Company Act of 1940.  Either party hereto may
             terminate this agreement on any date by giving the other
             party at least six months prior written notice of such
             termination specifying the date fixed therefor.  Without
             prejudice to any other remedies of the Fund in any such event
             the Fund may terminate this agreement at any time immediately
             upon any failure of fulfillment of any of the obligations of
             the KFS hereunder.  This agreement shall automatically
             terminate in the event of its assignment.  The term
             "assignment" shall have the meaning set forth in the
             Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations
             thereunder.

                  9.  KFS will not use or distribute or authorize the use,
             distribution or dissemination by Firms or others in
             connection with the sale of such shares any statements, other
             than those contained in the Fund's current prospectus, except
             such supplemental literature or advertising as shall be
             lawful under Federal and state securities laws and
             regulations, and will furnish the Fund with copies of all
             such material.

                  KFS will require each Firm to conform to the provisions
             hereof and the Registration Statement (and related
             prospectus) at the time in effect under the Securities Act
             with respect to the public offering price of the Fund's
             shares, and neither KFS nor any such Firms shall withhold the
             placing of purchase orders so as to make a profit thereby.

                  10. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or
             made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise,
             the remainder shall not be thereby affected.

                  11. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing,
             addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
             other party at such address as such other party may designate
             for the receipt of such notice.

                  12. All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of
             the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and all
             amendments thereto, all of which are on file with the
             Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the
             limitation of shareholder and trustee liability contained
             therein.  This Agreement has been executed by and on behalf
             of the Fund by its representatives as such representatives
             and not individually, and the obligations of the Fund
             hereunder are not binding upon any of the trustees, officers
             or shareholders of the Fund individually but are binding upon
             only the assets and property of the Fund.  With respect to
             any claim by KFS for recovery of that portion of the
             distribution services fees (or any other liability of the

                                           4

             Fund arising hereunder) allocated to a particular Portfolio,
             whether in accordance with the express terms hereof or
             otherwise, KFS shall have recourse solely against the assets
             of that Portfolio to satisfy such claim and shall have no
             recourse against the assets of any other Portfolio for such
             purpose.

                  13. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
             applicable federal law and (except as to Section 12 hereof
             which shall be construed in accordance with the laws of The
             Commonwealth of Massachusetts) the laws of the State of
             Illinois.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund and KFS have caused this
             Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first above
             written.

                                  SELLING AGREEMENT


               AGREEMENT made this    day of                     between
          KEMPER DISTRIBUTORS, INC. ("KDI"), as principal underwriter for
          INVESTORS CASH TRUST (the "Fund") pursuant to the Underwriting
          Agreement ("Underwriting Agreement") and                          
                                                   (the "Firm").

               In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
          contained, the parties agree as follows:

               1.   KDI hereby appoints the Firm to provide distribution
          services with respect to shares of the Fund but only in those
          states in which shares of the Fund may legally be sold.  As
          exclusive agent of the Fund, KDI offers to sell shares of the
          Fund ("shares") to the Firm on the terms herein set forth.

               2.   In all sales of shares to the public, the Firm shall
          act as dealer for its own account, and in no transaction shall it
          have any authority to act as agent for the issuer, for KDI or for
          any representative or agent of either the Fund or KDI.

               3.   Orders received from the Firm will be accepted by KDI
          only at the public offering price applicable to each order as
          established by the then current Prospectus of the Fund.  All
          orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by KDI in its sole
          discretion.

               4.   The Firm may offer and sell shares to its customers
          only at the public offering price which is the net asset value
          per share as described in the Fund's Prospectus.

               5.   By accepting this Agreement, the Firm agrees:

                    (a)  To purchase shares only from KDI or from the
                         Firm's customers.
                    (b)  That the Firm will purchase shares from KDI only
                         to cover purchase orders already received from the
                         Firm's customers, or for its own bona fide
                         investment.
                    (c)  That the Firm will not purchase shares from its
                         customers at a price lower than the price then
                         quoted by or for the Fund.  The Firm may sell
                         shares for the account of its customer to the
                         Fund, or to KDI as agent for the Fund, at the
                         price currently quoted by or for the Fund.
                    (d)  That the Firm will not withhold placing with KDI
                         orders received from its customers so as to profit
                         itself as a result of such withholding.


<PAGE>   2


               6.   KDI will not accept from the Firm any conditional
          orders for shares.

               7.   Shares sold to the Firm hereunder shall be available
          against payment in the manner described in the Fund's Prospectus
          unless other instructions have been given.

               8.   No person is authorized to make any representations
          concerning shares of the Fund except those contained in the
          current Prospectus of the Fund and in printed information
          subsequently issued by the Fund or by KDI as information

               3.   DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CUSTODIAN.

                    A.   Delivery of Assets

                    Fund will deliver or cause to be delivered to Custodian
               on the effective date of this Agreement, or as soon
               thereafter as practicable, and from time to time thereafter,

               Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") or from time to time coming into
               its possession during the time this Agreement shall continue
               in effect.  Custodian shall have no responsibility or
               liability whatsoever for or on account of securities or
               monies not so delivered.  All securities so delivered to
               Custodian (other than bearer securities) shall be registered
               in the name of Fund or its nominee, or of a nominee of
               Custodian, or shall be properly endorsed and in form for
               transfer satisfactory to Custodian.

                    B.   Safekeeping

                    Custodian will receive delivery of and keep safely the
               assets of Fund delivered to it from time to time.  Custodian
               will not deliver any such assets to any person except as
               permitted by the provisions of this Agreement or any
               agreement executed by it according to the terms of this
               Agreement.  Custodian shall be responsible only for the
               monies and securities of Fund held directly by it or its
               nominees or sub-custodian under this Agreement; provided
               that Custodian's responsibility for any sub-custodian
               appointed at the Fund's direction for purposes of (i)
               effecting third-party repurchase transactions with banks,
               brokers, dealers, or other entities through the use of a
               common custodian or sub-custodian; or (ii) providing
               depository and clearing agency services with respect to
               certain variable rate demand note securities ("special sub-
               custodian") shall be further limited as set forth in this
               Agreement.  Custodian may participate directly or indirectly
               through a sub-custodian in the Depository Trust Company, the
               Treasury/Federal Reserve Book Entry System, the Participants
               Trust Company and any other securities depository approved
               by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, subject to compliance
               with the provisions of Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act
               including, without limitation, the specific provisions of
               subsections (a) (1) through (d) (4) thereof.

                    C.   Registration of Securities

                    Custodian will hold stocks and other registerable
               portfolio securities of Fund registered in the name of Fund
               or in the name of any nominee of Custodian for whose
               fidelity and liabilities Custodian shall be fully

                                          2

<PAGE>   3



               responsible, or in street certificate form, so-called, with
               or without any indication of fiduciary capacity.  Unless
               otherwise instructed, Custodian will register all such
               portfolio securities in the name of its authorized nominee.

                    D.   Exchange of Securities

                    Upon receipt of instructions, Custodian will exchange,
               or cause to be exchanged, portfolio securities held by it
               for the account of Fund for other securities or cash issued
               or paid in connection with any reorganization,
               recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up of shares,
               change of par value, conversion or otherwise, and will
               deposit any such securities in accordance with the terms of
               any reorganization or protective plan.  Without
               instructions, Custodian is authorized to exchange securities
               held by it in temporary form for securities in definitive
               form, to effect an exchange of shares when the par value of
               the stock is changed, and, upon receiving payment therefore,
               to surrender bonds or other securities held by it at
               maturity or when advised of earlier call for redemption,
               except that Custodian shall receive instructions prior to
               surrendering any convertible security.

               but only insofar as monies are available therein for such
               purpose, and receive the portfolio securities so purchased
               by or for the account of Fund.  Such payment shall be made
               only upon receipt by Custodian of the securities so
               purchased in form for transfer satisfactory to Custodian.

               In accordance with such sales instructions, Custodian will

               therefor in such form as shall be satisfactory to Custodian,
               with the understanding that Custodian may deliver or cause
               to be delivered securities for payment in accordance with

                         merchant through whom the sale or purchase was
                         made.

               (4)  Options on Index Futures Contracts

                    (a)  The underlying index futures contract;
                    (b)  The premium;
                    (c)  The expiration date;
                    (d)  The number of options;
                    (e)  The exercise price;
                    (f)  Whether the transaction involves an opening,
                         exercising, expiring or closing transaction;
                    (g)  Whether the transaction involves a put or call;

                    G.   Securities Pledged to Secure Loans

                    (1)  Upon receipt of instructions, Custodian will
               release or cause to be released securities held in custody
               to the pledgee designated in such instructions by way of
               pledge or hypothecation to secure any loan incurred by Fund;
               provided, however, that the securities shall be released
               only upon payment to Custodian of the monies borrowed,
               except that in cases where additional collateral is required
               to secure a borrowing already made, further securities may
               be released or caused to be released for that purpose upon
               receipt of instructions.  Upon receipt of instructions,
               Custodian will pay, but only from funds available for such
               purpose, any such loan upon redelivery to it of the
               securities pledged or hypothecated therefor and upon
               surrender of the note or notes evidencing such loan.

                                          5

<PAGE>   6




                    (2)  Upon receipt of instructions, Custodian will
               release securities held in custody to the borrower
               designated in such instructions; provided, however, that the
               securities shall be released only upon deposit with
               Custodian of full cash collateral as specified in such
               instructions, and that Fund will retain the right to any
               dividends, interest or distribution on such loaned
               securities.  Upon receipt of instructions and the loaned
               securities, Custodian will release the cash collateral to
               the borrower.

                    H.   Routine Matters

                    Custodian will, in general, attend to all routine and
               mechanical matters in connection with the sale, exchange,
               substitution, purchase, transfer, or other dealings with
               securities or other property of Fund except as may be
               otherwise provided in this Agreement or directed from time
               to time by the Board of Trustees of Fund.

                    I.   Demand Deposit Account

                    Custodian will open and maintain a demand deposit
               account or accounts in the name of Custodian, subject only
               to draft or order by Custodian upon receipt of instructions. 
               All monies received by Custodian from or for the account of
               Fund shall be deposited in said account or accounts.

                    When properly authorized by a resolution of the Board
               of Trustees of Fund, Custodian may open and maintain an
               additional demand deposit account or accounts in such other
               banks or trust companies as may be designated in such
               resolution, such accounts, however, to be in the name of
               Custodian and subject only to its draft or order.

                    J.   Income and Other Payments to Fund

                    Custodian will:

                    (1)  collect, claim and receive and deposit for the
               account of Fund all income and other payments which become
               due and payable on or after the effective date of this
               Agreement with respect to the securities deposited under
               this Agreement, and credit the account of Fund with such
               income on the payable date;


                    (2)  execute ownership and other certificates and
               affidavits for all federal, state and local tax purposes in
               connection with the collection of bond and note coupons; and



                                      6

<PAGE>   7




                    (3)  take such other action as may be necessary or
               proper in connection with:

                    (a)  the collection, receipt and deposit of such income
                    and other payments, including but not limited to the
                    presentation for payment of:

                    (1)  all coupons and other income items requiring
                         presentation;

                    (2)  all other securities which may mature or be
                         called, redeemed, retired or otherwise become
                         payable and regarding which the Custodian has
                         actual knowledge, or notice of which is contained
                         in publications of the type to which it normally
                         subscribes for such purpose; and

                    (b)  the endorsement for collection, in the name of
                    Fund, of all checks, drafts or other negotiable
                    instruments.

                    Custodian, however, shall not be required to institute
               suit or take other extraordinary action to enforce
               collection except upon receipt of instructions and upon
               being indemnified to its satisfaction against the costs and
               expenses of such suit or other actions.  Custodian will
               receive, claim and collect all stock dividends, rights and
               other similar items and deal with the same pursuant to
               instructions.  Unless prior instructions have been received
               to the contrary, Custodian will, without further
               instructions, sell any rights held for the account of Fund
               on the last trade date prior to the date of expiration of
               such rights.

                    K.   Payment of Dividends and Other Distributions

                    On the declaration of any dividend or other
               distribution on the shares of beneficial interest of any
               Portfolio ("Portfolio Shares") by the Board of Trustees of
               Fund, Fund shall deliver to Custodian instructions with
               respect thereto, including a copy of the Resolution of said
               Board of Trustees certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
               Secretary of Fund wherein there shall be set forth the
               record date as of which shareholders are entitled to receive
               such dividend or distribution, and the amount payable per
               share on such dividend or distribution.

                    On the date specified in such Resolution for the
               payment of such dividend or other distribution, Custodian
               shall pay out of the monies held for the account of Fund,
               insofar as the same shall be available for such purposes,
               and credit to the account of the Dividend Disbursing Agent

                                          7

<PAGE>   8



               for Fund, such amount as may be necessary to pay the amount
               per share payable in cash on Portfolio Shares issued and
               outstanding on the record date established by such
               Resolution.

                    L.   Portfolio Shares Purchased by Fund

                    Whenever any Portfolio Shares are purchased by Fund,
               Fund or its agent shall advise Custodian of the aggregate
               dollar amount to be paid for such shares and shall confirm
               such advice in writing.  Upon receipt of such advice,
               Custodian shall charge such aggregate dollar amount to the
               custody account of Fund and either deposit the same in the
               account maintained for the purpose of paying for the
               purchase of Portfolio Shares or deliver the same in
               accordance with such advice.

                    M.   Portfolio Shares Purchased from Fund

                    Whenever Portfolio Shares are purchased from Fund, Fund
               will deposit or cause to be deposited with Custodian the
               amount received for such shares.  Custodian shall not have
               any duty or responsibility to determine that Fund Shares
               purchased from Fund have been added to the proper
               shareholder account or accounts or that the proper number of
               such shares have been added to the shareholder records.

                    N.   Proxies and Notices

                    Custodian will promptly deliver or mail to Fund all
               proxies properly signed, all notices of meetings, all proxy
               statements and other notices, requests or announcements
               affecting or relating to securities held by Custodian for
               Fund and will, upon receipt of instructions, execute and
               deliver or cause its nominee to execute and deliver such
               proxies or other authorizations as may be required.  Except
               as provided by this Agreement or pursuant to instructions
               hereafter received by Custodian, neither it nor its nominee
               shall exercise any power inherent in any such securities,
               including any power to vote the same, or execute any proxy,
               power of attorney, or other similar instrument voting any of
               such securities, or give any consent, approval or waiver
               with respect thereto, or take any other similar action.

                    O.   Disbursements

                    Custodian will pay or cause to be paid insofar as funds
               are available for the purpose, bills, statements and other
               obligations of Fund (including but not limited to
               obligations in connection with the conversion, exchange or
               surrender of securities owned by Fund, interest charges,
               variation margin, dividend disbursements, taxes, management

                                          8

               fees, administration-distribution fees, custodian fees,
               legal fees, auditors' fees, transfer agents' fees, brokerage
               commissions, compensation to personnel, and other operating
               expenses of Fund) pursuant to instructions of Fund setting
               forth the name of the person to whom payment is to be made,
               the amount of the payment, and the purpose of the payment.

                    P.   Books, Records and Accounts

                    Custodian acknowledges that all the records it shall
               prepare and maintain pursuant to this Agreement shall be the
               property of Fund and that upon request of Fund it shall make
               Fund's records available to it, along with such other
               information and data as are reasonably requested by Fund,
               for inspection, audit or copying, or turn said records over
               to Fund.

                    Custodian shall, within a reasonable time, render to
               Fund as of the close of business on each day, a detailed
               statement of the amounts received or paid and of securities
               received or delivered for the account of Fund during said
               day.  Custodian shall, from time to time, upon request by
               Fund, render a detailed statement of the securities and
               monies held for Fund under this Agreement, and Custodian
               shall maintain such books and records as are necessary to
               enable it do so and shall permit such persons as are
               authorized by Fund, including Fund's independent public
               accountants, to examine such records or to confirm the
               contents of such records; and, if demanded, shall permit
               federal and state regulatory agencies to examine said
               securities, books and records.  Upon the written
               instructions of Fund or as demanded by federal or state
               regulatory agencies, Custodian shall instruct any sub-
               custodian to permit such persons as are authorized by Fund
               to examine the books, records and securities held by such
               sub-custodian which relate to Fund.

                    Q.   Appointment of Sub-Custodian

                    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
               all or any of the monies or securities of Fund may be held
               in Custodian's own custody or in the custody of one or more
               other banks or trust companies acting as sub-custodians as
               may be approved by resolutions of Fund's Board of Trustees,
               evidenced by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or
               Assistant Secretary of Fund.  Any sub-custodian must have
               the qualifications required for custodians under the 1940
               Act unless exempted therefrom.  Any sub-custodian may
               participate directly or indirectly in the Depository Trust
               Company, the Treasury/Reserve Book Entry System, the
               Participants Trust Company and any other securities
               depository approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund to

                                          9

<PAGE>   10


               the same extent and subject to the same conditions as
               provided hereunder.  Neither Custodian nor sub-custodian
               shall be entitled to reimbursement by Fund for any fees or
               expenses of any sub-custodian; provided that Custodian shall
               not be liable for, and Fund shall hold Custodian harmless
               from, the expenses of any special sub-custodian.  The
               appointment of a sub-custodian shall not relieve Custodian
               of any of its obligations hereunder; provided that Custodian
               shall be responsible to Fund for any loss, damage, or
               expense suffered or incurred by Fund resulting from the
               actions or omissions of a special sub-custodian only to the
               extent the special sub-custodian is liable to Custodian.

                    R.   Multiple Portfolios

                    If Fund shall issue shares of more than one Portfolio
               during the term hereof, Custodian agrees that all securities
               and other assets of Fund shall be segregated by Portfolio
               and all books and records, account values or actions shall
               be maintained, held, made or taken, as the case may be,
               separately for each Portfolio.

               4.   INSTRUCTIONS.

                    A.   The term "instructions", as used herein, means
               written or oral instructions to Custodian from an authorized
               person of Fund.  Certified copies of resolutions of the
               Board of Trustees of Fund naming one or more persons
               authorized to give instructions in the name and on behalf of
               Fund may be received and accepted by Custodian as conclusive
               evidence of the authority of any person so to act and may be
               considered to be in full force and effect (and Custodian
               shall be fully protected in acting in reliance thereon)
               until receipt by Custodian of notice to the contrary. 
               Unless the resolution authorizing any person to give
               instructions specifically requires that the approval of
               anyone else shall first have been obtained, Custodian shall
               be under no obligation to inquire into the right of the
               person giving such instructions to do so.  Notwithstanding
               any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, no
               authorizations or instructions received by Custodian from
               Fund shall be deemed to authorize or permit any trustee,
               officer, employee, or agent of Fund to withdraw any of the
               securities or monies of Fund upon the mere receipt of
               instructions from such trustee, officer, employee or agent.

                    B.   No later than the next business day immediately
               following each oral instruction referred to herein, Fund
               shall give Custodian written confirmation of each such oral
               instruction.  Either party may electronically record any
               oral instruction whether given in person or via telephone.

               5.   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF CUSTODIAN

                    A.   Custodian shall hold harmless and indemnify Fund
               from and against any loss or liability arising out of
               Custodian's failure to comply with the terms of this
               Agreement or arising out of Custodian's negligence, willful
               misconduct, or bad faith.  Custodian may request and obtain
               the advice and opinion of counsel for Fund or of its own
               counsel with respect to questions or matters of law, and it
               shall be without liability to Fund for any action taken or
               omitted by it in good faith, in conformity with such advice
               or opinion.

                    B.   If Fund requires Custodian in any capacity to
               take, with respect to any securities, any action which
               involves the payment of money by it, or which in Custodian's
               opinion might make it or its nominee liable for payment of
               monies or in any other way, Custodian shall be and be kept
               indemnified by Fund in an amount and form satisfactory to
               Custodian against any liability on account of such action.

                    C.   Custodian shall be entitled to receive, and Fund
               agrees to pay to Custodian, on demand, reimbursement for
               such cash disbursements, costs and expenses as may be agreed
               upon from time to time by Custodian and Fund.

                    D.   Custodian shall be protected in acting as
               custodian hereunder upon any instructions, advice, notice,
               request, consent, certificate or other instrument or paper
               reasonably appearing to it to be genuine and to have been
               properly executed and shall, unless otherwise specifically
               provided herein, be entitled to receive as conclusive proof
               of any fact or matter required to be ascertained from Fund
               hereunder, a certificate signed by Fund's President, or
               other officer specifically authorized for such purpose.

                    E.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
               Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inquire
               into, and shall not be liable for:

                         (1)  The validity of the issue of any securities
                    purchased by or for Fund, the legality of the purchase
                    thereof or evidence of ownership required by Fund to be
                    received by Custodian, or the propriety of the decision
                    to purchase or amount paid therefor;

                         (2)  The legality of the sales of any securities

<PAGE>   12



                         (3)  The legality of the issue or sale of any
                    shares of Fund, or the sufficiency of the amount to be
                    received therefor;

                         (4)  The legality of the purchase of any shares of
                    Fund, or the propriety of the amount to be paid

                         (5)  The legality of the declaration of any
                    dividend by Fund, or the legality of the issue of any
                    shares of Fund in payment of any share dividend.

                    F.   Custodian shall not be liable for, or considered
               to be the custodian of, any money represented by any check,
               draft, wire transfer, clearing house funds, uncollected
               funds, or instrument for the payment of money received by it
               on behalf of Fund, until Custodian actually receives such
               money, provided only that it shall advise Fund promptly if
               it fails to receive any such money in the ordinary course of
               business, and use its best efforts and cooperate with Fund
               toward the end that such money shall be received.

                    G.   Subject to the obligations of Custodian under
               Section 3.B. hereof, Custodian shall not be responsible for
               loss occasioned by the acts, neglects, defaults or
               insolvency of any broker, bank, trust company, or any other
               person with whom Custodian may deal in the absence of negli-
               gence, misconduct or bad faith on the part of Custodian.

                    H.   Custodian or any sub-custodian shall provide Fund
               for its approval by its Board of Trustees agreements with
               banks or trust companies which will act as sub-custodian for
               Fund pursuant to this Agreement; and, as set forth in
               Section 3.B hereof, Custodian shall be responsible for the
               monies and securities of the Fund held by it or its nominees
               or sub-custodians under this Agreement, but not for monies
               and securities of the Fund held by any special sub-custodian
               except to the extent the special sub-custodian is liable to
               Custodian.

               6.   COMPENSATION.  

               Fund shall pay to Custodian such compensation at such times
          as may from time to time be agreed upon in writing by Custodian
          and Fund.  Custodian may charge such compensation against monies
          held by it for the account of Fund.  Custodian shall also be
          entitled, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5B or 5C
          hereof, to charge against any monies held by it for the account
          of Fund the amount of any loss, damage, liability or expense for
          which it shall be entitled to reimbursement under the provisions
          of this Agreement.  Custodian shall not be entitled to
          reimbursement by Fund for any loss or expenses of any sub-

                                          12

<PAGE>   13



          custodian; provided that Custodian shall not be liable for, and
          Fund shall hold Custodian harmless from, the expenses of any
          special sub-custodian.

               7.   TERMINATION.  

               Either party to this Agreement may terminate the same by
          notice in writing, delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
          other party hereto and received not less than sixty (60) days
          prior to the date upon which such termination shall take effect. 
          Upon termination of this Agreement, Fund shall pay to Custodian
          such compensation for its reimbursable disbursements, costs and
          expenses paid or incurred to such date and Fund shall use its
          best efforts to obtain a successor custodian.  Unless the holders
          of a majority of the outstanding shares of Fund vote to have the
          securities, funds and other properties held under this Agreement
          delivered and paid over to some other person, firm or corporation
          specified in the vote, having not less than Two Million Dollars
          ($2,000,000) aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits, as
          shown by its last published report, and meeting such other
          qualifications for custodian as set forth in the Bylaws of Fund,
          the Board of Trustees of Fund shall, forthwith upon giving or
          receiving notice of termination of this Agreement, appoint as
          successor custodian a bank or trust company having such
          qualifications.  Custodian shall, upon termination of this
          Agreement, deliver to the successor custodian so specified or
          appointed, at custodian's office, all securities then held by
          Custodian hereunder, duly endorsed and in form for transfer, and
          all funds and other properties of Fund deposited with or held by
          Custodian hereunder, and shall cooperate in effecting changes in
          book-entries at the Depository Trust Company, the
          Treasury/Federal Reserve Book-Entry System, the Participants
          Trust Company and any other securities depository holding assets
          of the Fund.  In the event no such vote has been adopted by the
          shareholders of Fund and no written order designating a successor
          custodian shall have been delivered to Custodian on or before the
          date when such termination shall become effective, then Custodian
          shall deliver the securities, funds and properties of Fund to a
          bank or trust company at the selection of Custodian and meeting
          the qualifications for custodian, if any, set forth in the Bylaws
          of Fund and having not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000)
          aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits, as shown by its
          last published report.  Upon either such delivery to a successor
          custodian, Custodian shall have no further obligations or
          liabilities under this Agreement.  Thereafter such bank or trust
          company shall be the successor custodian under this Agreement and
          shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services. 
          In the event that no such successor custodian can be found, Fund
          will submit to its shareholders, before permitting delivery of
          the cash and securities owned by Fund to anyone other than a
          successor custodian, the question of whether Fund shall be
          liquidated or shall function without a custodian.  Not-

                                          13

<PAGE>   14


          withstanding the foregoing requirement as to delivery upon
          termination of this Agreement, Custodian may make any other
          delivery of the securities, funds and property of Fund which
          shall be permitted by the 1940 Act and Fund's Agreement and
          Declaration of Trust and Bylaws then in effect.  Except as
          otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any portion
          thereof may be assigned by Custodian without the consent of Fund,
          authorized or approved by a resolution of its Board of Trustees.

               8.   NOTICES.  

               Notices, requests, instructions and other writings received
          by Fund at 120 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603 or
          at such other address as Fund may have designated by certified
          resolution of the Board of Trustees to Custodian and notices,
          requests, instructions and other writings received by Custodian
          at its offices at 21 West 10th Street, Kansas City, Missouri
          64105, or to such other address as it may have designated to Fund
          in writing, shall be deemed to have been properly given
          hereunder.

               9.   MISCELLANEOUS.

                    A.   This Agreement is executed and delivered in the
               State of Missouri and shall be governed by the laws of the
               State of Missouri (except as to Section 9.H. hereof which
               shall be governed in accordance with the laws of The
               Commonwealth of Massachusetts).

                    B.   All the terms and provisions of this Agreement
               shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be
               enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the
               parties hereto.

                    C.   No provisions of the Agreement may be amended or
               modified in any manner except by a written agreement
               properly authorized and executed by both parties hereto.

                    D.   The captions in this Agreement are included for
               convenience of reference only, and in no way define or
               delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect
               their construction or effect.

                    E.   This Agreement shall become effective at the close
               of business on the date hereof.


                    F.   This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
               two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
               original but all of which together shall constitute one and
               the same instrument.

                    G.   If any part, term or provision of this Agreement
               is by the courts held to be illegal, in conflict with any
               law or otherwise invalid, the remaining portion or portions
               shall be considered severable and not be affected, and the
               rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and
               enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular
               part, term or provision held to be illegal or invalid.

                    H.   All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of
               Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which is on file
               with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and
               the limitation of shareholder and trustee liability
               contained therein.  This Agreement has been executed by and
               on behalf of Fund by its representatives as such
               representatives and not individually, and the obligations of
               Fund hereunder are not binding upon any of the Trustees,
               officers or shareholders of Fund individually but are
               binding upon only the assets and property of Fund.  With
               respect to any claim by Custodian for recovery of that
               portion of the compensation (or any other liability of Fund
               arising hereunder) allocated to a particular Portfolio,
               whether in accordance with the express terms hereof or
               otherwise, Custodian shall have recourse solely against the
               assets of that Portfolio to satisfy such claim and shall
               have no recourse against the assets of any other Portfolio
               for such purpose.

                    I.   This Agreement, together with the Fee Schedule, is
               the entire contract between the parties relating to the
               subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements.

                         and against any and all claims, actions, suits,
                         losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees,
                         payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of
                         or attributable to any action or omission by IFTC
                         pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
                         the agency relationship created by this
                         Agreement, provided that IFTC has acted in good
                         faith, without negligence and without willful
                         misconduct.

                     B.  IFTC shall indemnify and hold Fund harmless from
                         and against any and all claims, actions, suits,
                         losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees,
                         payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of
                         or attributable to any action or omission by IFTC
                         pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
                         the agency relationship created by this
                         Agreement, provided that IFTC has not acted in
                         good faith, without negligence and without
                         willful misconduct.

                     C.  In order that the indemnification provisions
                         contained in this Section 7 shall apply, upon the
                         assertion of a claim for which either party (the
                         "Indemnifying Party") may be required to provide
                         indemnification hereunder, the party seeking
                         indemnification (the "Indemnitee") shall promptly
                         notify the Indemnifying Party of such assertion,
                         and shall keep such party advised with respect to
                         all developments concerning such claim.  The
                         Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
                         control of the defense and the negotiations, if
                         any, regarding settlement of the claim.  If the
                         Indemnifying Party assumes control, the
                         Indemnitee shall have the option to participate
                         in the defense and negotiations of such claim at
                         its own expense.  The Indemnitee shall in no
                         event confess, admit to, compromise, or settle
                         any claim for which the Indemnifying Party may be
                         required to indemnify it except with the prior
                         written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
                         shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                 8.  Certain Covenants of IFTC and Fund.
                     ----------------------------------

                     A.  All requisite steps will be taken by Fund from
                         time to time when and as necessary to register
                         the Fund's shares for sale in all states in which
                         Fund's shares shall at the time be offered for
                         sale and require registration.  If at any time
                         Fund receives notice of any stop order or other
                         proceeding in any such state affecting such
                         registration or the sale of Fund's shares, or of
                         any stop order or other proceeding under the
                         Federal securities laws affecting the sale of
                         Fund's shares, Fund will give prompt notice
                         thereof to IFTC.

                     B.  IFTC hereby agrees to establish and maintain
                         facilities and procedures reasonably acceptable
                         to Fund for safekeeping of share certificates,
                         check forms, and facsimile signature imprinting
                         devices, if any; and for the preparation or use,
                         and for keeping account of, such certificates,
                         forms and devices.  Further, IFTC agrees to carry
                         insurance, as specified in Exhibit B hereto, with
                         insurers reasonably acceptable to Fund and in
                         minimum amounts that are reasonably acceptable to
                         Fund, which will not be changed without the
                         consent of Fund, which consent shall not be
                         unreasonably withheld, and which will be expanded
                         in coverage or increased in amounts from time to
                         time if and when reasonably requested by Fund. 
                         If IFTC determines that it is unable to obtain
                         any such insurance upon commercially reasonable
                         terms, it shall promptly so advise Fund in
                         writing.  In such event, Fund shall have the
                         right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days
                         notice.

                     C.  To the extent required by Section 31 of the
                         Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rules
                         thereunder, IFTC agrees that all records
                         maintained by IFTC relating to the services to be
                         performed by IFTC under this Agreement are the
                         property of Fund and will be preserved and will
                         be surrendered promptly to Fund on request.

                     D.  IFTC agrees to furnish Fund semi-annual reports
                         of its financial condition, consisting of a
                         balance sheet, earnings statement and any other
                         reasonably available financial information

                         financial statements will be certified by IFTC's
                         certified public accountants.

                     E.  IFTC represents and agrees that it will use all
                         reasonable efforts to keep current on the trends
                         of the investment company industry relating to
                         shareholder services and will use all reasonable
                         efforts to continue to modernize and improve its
                         system without additional cost to Fund.

                     F.  IFTC will permit Fund and its authorized
                         representatives to make periodic inspections of
                         its operations at reasonable times during
                         business hours.

                     G.  If IFTC is prevented from complying, either
                         totally or in part, with any of the terms or
                         provisions of this Agreement, by reason of fire,
                         flood, storm, strike, lockout or other labor
                         trouble, riot, war, rebellion, accidents, acts of
                         God, equipment, utility or transmission failure
                         or damage, and/or any other cause or casualty
                         beyond the reasonable control of IFTC, whether
                         similar to the foregoing matters or not, then
                         upon written notice to Fund, the requirements of
                         this Agreement that are affected by such
                         disability, to the extent so affected, shall be
                         suspended during the period of such disability;
                         provided, however, that IFTC shall make
                         reasonable effort to remove such disability as
                         soon as possible.  During such period, Fund may
                         seek alternate sources of service without
                         liability hereunder; and IFTC will use all
                         reasonable efforts to assist Fund to obtain
                         alternate sources of service.  IFTC shall have no
                         liability to Fund for nonperformance because of
                         the reasons set forth in this Section 8.G; but if
                         a disability that, in Fund's reasonable belief,
                         materially affects IFTC's ability to perform its
                         obligations under this Agreement continues for a
                         period of 30 days, then Fund shall have the right
                         to terminate this Agreement upon 10 days written
                         notice to IFTC.

                  9. Adjustment.
                     ----------

                     In case of any recapitalization, readjustment or
                     other change in the structure of Fund requiring a
                     change in the form of share certificates, IFTC will
                     issue or register certificates in the new form in
                     exchange for, or in transfer of, the outstanding

                                           8

                         effecting the change.

                     C.  Certified copy of any order or consent of each
                         governmental or regulatory authority required by
                         law for the issuance of the shares in the new
                         form, and an opinion of counsel that no order or
                         consent of any other government or regulatory
                         authority is required.

                     D.  Specimens of the new certificates in the form
                         approved by the Board of Trustees of Fund, with a
                         certificate of the Secretary of Fund as to such
                         approval.

                     E.  Opinion of counsel for Fund:

                         (1) With respect to the status of the shares of
                             Fund in the new form under the Securities Act
                             of 1933, and any other applicable federal or
                             state laws.

                         (2) To the effect that the issued shares in the
                             new form are, and all unissued shares will be
                             when issued, validly issued, fully paid and
                             non-assessable.

                 10. Share Certificates.
                     ------------------

                     Fund will furnish IFTC with a sufficient supply of
                     blank share certificates and from time to time will
                     renew such supply upon the request of IFTC.  Such
                     certificates will be signed manually or by facsimile
                     signatures of the officers of Fund authorized by law
                     and Fund's Bylaws to sign share certificates and, if
                     required, will bear the trust seal or facsimile
                     thereof.

                 11. Death, Resignation or Removal of Signing Officer.
                     ------------------------------------------------

                     Fund will file promptly with IFTC written notice of
                     any change in the officers authorized to sign share
                     certificates, written instructions or requests,
                     together with two signature cards bearing the

                                           9

<PAGE>   10


                     specimen signature of each newly authorized officer,
                     all as certified by an appropriate officer of the
                     Fund.  In case any officer of Fund who will have
                     signed manually or whose facsimile signature will
                     have been affixed to blank share certificates will
                     die, resign, or be removed prior to the issuance of
                     such certificates, IFTC may issue or register such
                     share certificates as the share certificates of Fund
                     notwithstanding such death, resignation, or removal,
                     until specifically directed to the contrary by Fund
                     in writing. In the absence of such direction, Fund
                     will file promptly with IFTC such approval, adoption,
                     or ratification as may be required by law.

                 12. Future Amendments of Agreement and Declaration of
                     -------------------------------------------------
                     Trust and Bylaws.
                     ----------------

                     Fund will promptly file with IFTC copies of all
                     material amendments to its Agreement and Declaration
                     of Trust and Bylaws and Registration Statement made
                     after the date of this Agreement.

                 13. Instructions, Opinion of Counsel and Signatures.
                     -----------------------------------------------

                     At any time IFTC may apply to any officer of Fund for
                     instructions, and may consult with legal counsel for
                     Fund at the expense of Fund, or with its own legal
                     counsel at its own expense, with respect to any
                     matter arising in connection with the agency; and it
                     will not be liable for any action taken or omitted by
                     it in good faith in reliance upon such instructions
                     or upon the opinion of such counsel. IFTC is
                     authorized to act on the orders, directions or
                     instructions of such persons as the Board of Trustees
                     of Fund shall from time to time designate by
                     resolution.  IFTC will be protected in acting upon
                     any paper or document, including any orders,
                     directions or instructions, reasonably believed by it
                     to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper
                     person or persons; and IFTC will not be held to have
                     notice of any change of authority of any person so
                     authorized by Fund until receipt of written notice
                     thereof from Fund. IFTC will also be protected in
                     recognizing share certificates that it reasonably
                     believes to bear the proper manual or facsimile
                     signatures of the officers of Fund, and the proper
                     countersignature of any former Transfer Agent or
                     Registrar, or of a Co-Transfer Agent or Co-Registrar.

                     documents filed in connection with such appointment

                     by law to be also filed with a county, city or other
                     officer or official body, a certificate of such
                     filing will appear on the certified copy submitted to
                     IFTC.  A copy of the order or consent of each
                     governmental or regulatory authority required by law
                     for the issuance of Fund shares will be certified by
                     the Secretary or Clerk of such governmental or
                     regulatory authority, under proper seal of such
                     authority.  The copy of the Bylaws and copies of all

                     IFTC will maintain customary records in connection
                     with its agency, and particularly will maintain those
                     records required to be maintained pursuant to sub-
                     paragraph (2)(iv) of paragraph (b) of Rule 31a-1
                     under the Investment Company Act of 1940, if any.

                 17. Disposition of Books, Records and Cancelled

                     IFTC will send periodically to Fund, or to where

                     of Fund, all books, documents, and all records no
                     longer deemed needed for current purposes and share
                     certificates which have been cancelled in transfer or
                     in exchange, upon the understanding that such books,

                     be destroyed by Fund without the consent of IFTC
                     (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld),
                     but will be safely stored for possible future
                     reference.

                 18. Provisions Relating to IFTC as Transfer Agent.
                     ---------------------------------------------

                     A.  IFTC will make original issues of share
                         certificates upon written request of an officer
                         of Fund and upon being furnished with a certified
                         copy of a resolution of the Board of Trustees
                         authorizing such original issue, an opinion of
                         counsel as outlined in Section 1.G or 9.E of this
                         Agreement, the certificates required by Section
                         10 of this Agreement and any other documents
                         required by Section 1 or 9 of this Agreement. 

                     B.  Before making any original issue of certificates,
                         Fund will furnish IFTC with sufficient funds to
                         pay any taxes required on the original issue of
                         the shares.  Fund will furnish IFTC such evidence
                         as may be required by IFTC to show the actual
                         value of the shares.  If no taxes are payable,
                         IFTC will upon request be furnished with an
                         opinion of outside counsel to that effect.

                     C.  Shares will be transferred and new certificates
                         issued in transfer, or shares accepted for
                         redemption and funds remitted therefor, upon
                         surrender of the old certificates in form deemed
                         by IFTC properly endorsed for transfer or
                         redemption accompanied by such documents as IFTC
                         may deem necessary to evidence the authority of
                         the person making the transfer or redemption, and
                         bearing satisfactory evidence of the payment of
                         any applicable share transfer taxes.  IFTC
                         reserves the right to refuse to transfer or
                         redeem shares until it is satisfied that the
                         endorsement or signature on the certificate or
                         any other document is valid and genuine, and for
                         that purpose it may require a guarantee of
                         signature by such persons as may from time to
                         time be specified in the prospectus related to
                         such shares or otherwise authorized by Fund. 
                         IFTC also reserves the right to refuse to
                         transfer or redeem shares until it is satisfied
                         that the requested transfer or redemption is
                         legally authorized, and it will incur no
                         liability for the refusal in good faith to make
                         transfers or redemptions which, in its judgment,
                         are improper, unauthorized, or otherwise not

                                          12

<PAGE>   13


                         rightful.  IFTC may, in effecting transfers or
                         redemptions, rely upon Simplification Acts or
                         other statutes which protect it and Fund in not
                         requiring complete fiduciary documentation.  

                     D.  When mail is used for delivery of share
                         certificates, IFTC will forward share
                         certificates in "nonnegotiable" form as provided
                         by Fund by first class mail, all such mail
                         deliveries to be covered while in transit to the
                         addressee by insurance arranged for by IFTC.

                     E.  IFTC will issue and mail subscription warrants
                         and certificates provided by Fund and
                         representing share dividends, exchanges or split-
                         ups, or act as Conversion Agent upon receiving
                         written instructions from any officer of Fund and
                         such other documents as IFTC deems necessary.

                     F.  IFTC will issue, transfer, and split-up
                         certificates upon receiving written instructions
                         from an officer of Fund and such other documents
                         as IFTC may deem necessary.

                     G.  IFTC may issue new certificates in place of
                         certificates represented to have been lost,
                         destroyed, stolen or otherwise wrongfully taken,
                         upon receiving indemnity satisfactory to IFTC,
                         and may issue new certificates in exchange for,
                         and upon surrender of, mutilated certificates. 
                         Any such issuance shall be in accordance with the
                         provisions of law governing such matter and any
                         procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of
                         the Fund of which IFTC has notice.

                     H.  IFTC will supply a shareholder's list to Fund
                         properly certified by an officer of IFTC for any
                         shareholder meeting upon receiving a request from
                         an officer of Fund.  It will also supply lists at
                         such other times as may be reasonably requested
                         by an officer of Fund.

                     I.  Upon receipt of written instructions of an
                         officer of Fund, IFTC will address and mail
                         notices to shareholders.

                     J.  In case of any request or demand for the
                         inspection of the share books of Fund or any
                         other books of Fund in the possession of IFTC,
                         IFTC will endeavor to notify Fund and to secure
                         instructions as to permitting or refusing such
                         inspection.  IFTC reserves the right, however, to

                                          13

<PAGE>   14


                         exhibit the share books or other books to any
                         person in case it is advised by its counsel that
                         it may be held responsible for the failure to
                         exhibit the share books or other books to such
                         person.

                 19. Provisions Relating to Dividend Disbursing Agency.
                     -------------------------------------------------

                     A.  IFTC will, at the expense of Fund, provide a
                         special form of check containing the imprint of
                         any device or other matter desired by Fund.  Said
                         checks must, however, be of a form and size
                         convenient for use by IFTC.

                     B.  If Fund wants to include additional printed
                         matter, financial statements, etc., with the
                         dividend checks, the same will be furnished to
                         IFTC within a reasonable time prior to the date
                         of mailing of the dividend checks, at the expense
                         of Fund.

                     C.  If Fund wants its distributions mailed in any
                         special form of envelopes, sufficient supply of
                         the same will be furnished to IFTC but the size
                         and form of said envelopes will be subject to the
                         approval of IFTC.  If stamped envelopes are used,
                         they must be furnished by Fund; or, if postage
                         stamps are to be affixed to the envelopes, the
                         stamps or the cash necessary for such stamps must
                         be furnished by Fund.

                     D.  IFTC will maintain one or more deposit accounts
                         as Agent for Fund, into which the funds for
                         payment of dividends, distributions, redemptions
                         or other disbursements provided for hereunder
                         will be deposited, and against which checks will
                         be drawn.

                 20. Termination of Agreement.
                     ------------------------

                     A.  This Agreement may be terminated by either party
                         upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the
                         other party.

                     B.  Fund, in addition to any other rights and
                         remedies, shall have the right to terminate this
                         Agreement forthwith upon the occurrence at any
                         time of any of the following events:

                         (1) Any interruption or cessation of operations
                             by IFTC or its assigns which materially
                             interferes with the business operation of
                             Fund.

                         (2) The bankruptcy of IFTC or its assigns or the
                             appointment of a receiver for IFTC or its
                             assigns.

                         (3) Any merger, consolidation or sale of

                             assigns.

                         (4) The acquisition of a controlling interest in
                             IFTC or its assigns, by any broker, dealer,
                             investment adviser or investment company
                             except as may presently exist.

                         (5) Failure by IFTC or its assigns to perform its
                             duties in accordance with this Agreement,
                             which failure materially adversely affects
                             the business operations of Fund and which
                             failure continues for thirty (30) days after
                             written notice from Fund.

                         (6) The registration of IFTC or its assigns as a
                             transfer agent under the Securities Exchange
                             Act of 1934 is revoked, terminated or
                             suspended for any reason.

                     C.  In the event of termination, Fund will promptly
                         pay IFTC all amounts due to IFTC hereunder.  Upon
                         termination of this Agreement, IFTC shall deliver
                         all shareholder and account records pertaining to
                         Fund either to Fund or as directed in writing by
                         Fund.

                 21. Assignment.
                     ----------

                     A.  Except for the assignment of responsibilities
                         pursuant to the Services Agreement ("Services
                         Agreement") between IFTC and Kemper Service
                         Company ("KSVC"), which Fund has approved,
                         neither this Agreement nor any rights or
                         obligations hereunder may be assigned by IFTC
                         without the written consent of Fund; provided,
                         however, no assignment will relieve IFTC of any
                         of its obligations hereunder.

                     B.  This Agreement including, without limitation, the
                         provisions of Section 7 will inure to the benefit

                                          15

                         of and be binding upon the parties and their
                         respective successors and assigns including KSVC
                         pursuant to the aforesaid Services Agreement.

                     C.  KSVC is authorized by Fund to use the system
                         services of DST Systems, Inc.

                 22. Confidentiality.
                     ---------------

                     A.  Except as provided in the last sentence of
                         Section 18.J hereof, or as otherwise required by
                         law, IFTC will keep confidential all records of
                         and information in its possession relating to
                         Fund or its shareholders or shareholder accounts
                         and will not disclose the same to any person
                         except at the request or with the consent of
                         Fund.

                     B.  Except as otherwise required by law, Fund will
                         keep confidential all financial statements and
                         other financial records (other than statements
                         and records relating solely to Fund's business
                         dealings with IFTC) and all manuals, systems and
                         other technical information and data, not
                         publicly disclosed, relating to IFTC's operations
                         and programs furnished to it by IFTC pursuant to
                         this Agreement and will not disclose the same to
                         any person except at the request or with the
                         consent of IFTC.  Notwithstanding anything to the
                         contrary in this Section 22.B, if an attempt is
                         made pursuant to subpoena or other legal process
                         to require Fund to disclose or produce any of the
                         aforementioned manuals, systems or other
                         technical information and data, Fund shall give
                         IFTC prompt notice thereof prior to disclosure or
                         production so that IFTC may, at its expense,
                         resist such attempt.  

                 23. Survival of Representations and Warranties.
                     ------------------------------------------

                     All representations and warranties by either party
                     herein contained will survive the execution and
                     delivery of this Agreement.

                 24. Miscellaneous.
                     -------------

                     A.  This Agreement is executed and delivered in the
                         State of Illinois and shall be governed by the
                         laws of said state (except as to Section 24.G

                                          16

<PAGE>   17


                         hereof which shall be governed by the laws of The
                         Commonwealth of Massachusetts).

                     B.  No provisions of this Agreement may be amended or
                         modified in any manner except by a written 
                         agreement properly authorized and executed by
                         both parties hereto.

                     C.  The captions in this Agreement are included for
                         convenience of reference only, and in no way
                         define or limit any of the provisions hereof or
                         otherwise affect their construction or effect.  

                     D.  This Agreement shall become effective as of the
                         date hereof.

                     E.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
                         two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
                         deemed an original but all of which together
                         shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                     F.  If any part, term or provision of this Agreement
                         is held by the courts to be illegal, in conflict
                         with any law or otherwise invalid, the remaining
                         portion or portions shall be considered severable
                         and not be affected, and the rights and
                         obligations of the parties shall be construed and
                         enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the
                         particular part, term or provision held to be
                         illegal or invalid.

                     G.  All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of
                         Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust which
                         is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth
                         of Massachusetts, and the limitation of
                         shareholder and trustee liability contained
                         therein.  This Agreement has been executed by and
                         on behalf of Fund by its representatives as such
                         representatives and not individually, and the
                         obligations of Fund hereunder are not binding
                         upon any of the Trustees, officers or
                         shareholders of the Fund individually but are
                         binding upon only the assets and property of
                         Fund.  With respect to any claim by IFTC for
                         recovery of that portion of the compensation and
                         expenses (or any other liability of Fund arising
                         hereunder) allocated to a particular Portfolio,
                         whether in accordance with the express terms
                         hereof or otherwise, IFTC shall have recourse
                         solely against the assets of that Portfolio to
                         satisfy such claim and shall have no recourse


                                          17

<PAGE>   18


                         against the assets of any other Portfolio for
                         such purpose.

                     H.  This Agreement, together with the Fee Schedule,
                         is the entire contract between the parties
                         relating to the subject matter hereof and
                         supersedes all prior agreements between the
                         parties.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to
             be executed by their respective duly authorized officer as of
             the day and year first set forth above.

          The out-of-pocket expenses of IFTC will be reimbursed by Fund in
          accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of the Agency
          Agreement.

          As reflected in Section 21 of the Agency Agreement, the
          responsibilities of IFTC under the Agency Agreement have been
          assigned to Kemper Service Company ("KSVC").  KSVC will, from
          time to time, enter into Omnibus Account Services Agreements
          ("Omnibus Agreements") with one or more financial services firms
          ("Firms") that will maintain shares of the Fund owned by their
          clients ("client-shareholders") in one or more "street-name" or
          "omnibus" accounts ("omnibus accounts") on the books of KSVC and
          will provide recordkeeping and other services with respect to the
          accounts of such client-shareholders.  For services provided
          under the Omnibus Agreements, KSVC will provide compensation to
          the Firms.  For purposes of determining the fees payable by the
          Fund to IFTC under the Agency Agreement relating to such omnibus
          accounts, the fees noted above for maintenance of open and closed
          shareholder accounts (but not for disaster recovery) will be
          based upon the number of client shareholder accounts on the
          records of the Firms maintaining shares in such omnibus accounts.

                   Additional Provisions Regarding Omnibus Accounts
                   ------------------------------------------------

          As reflected in Section 21 of the Agency Agreement, there will be
          an assignment of the responsibilities of IFTC under the Agreement
          to Kemper Service Company ("KSVC").  It is anticipated that KSVC
          will enter into Omnibus Account Services Agreements ("Omnibus
          Agreements") with one or more financial services firms ("Firms")
          that will maintain shares of the Fund owned by their clients
          ("client-shareholders") in one or more "street-name" or "omnibus"
          accounts ("omnibus accounts") on the books of KSVC and will
          provide recordkeeping and other services with respect to the
          accounts of such client-shareholders.  For services provided
          under the Omnibus Agreements, KSVC will provide compensation to
          the Firms.  The Fund will reimburse IFTC, who will in turn
          reimburse KSVC, for compensation paid to Firms by KSVC under the
          Omnibus Agreements up to a maximum of .25 of 1% of the average
          daily net assets of the Fund maintained and serviced by such
          Firms plus out-of-pocket expenses.  In addition, if KSVC provides
          support services for the checkwriting redemption privilege
          offered to the client-shareholders of a particular Firm, the Fund
          will pay to IFTC, who will in turn pay to KSVC, for such support
          services a fee of $4.00 per year per client-shareholder open
          account as reflected on the books of such Firm.

                  ADMINISTRATION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES AGREEMENT


               AGREEMENT made this 1st day of October, 1991, by and between 
          INVESTORS CASH TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust (the
          "Fund"), and KEMPER FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware
          corporation ("KFS").

               In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
          contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto
          as follows:

               1.   The Fund hereby appoints KFS to act as administrator
          for the Fund to provide information and administrative services
          for the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders.  In this
          regard, KFS shall appoint various broker-dealer firms and other
          financial services firms ("Firms") to provide administrative
          services for their clients through the Fund.  The Firms shall
          provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities and
          personnel as is necessary or beneficial for providing information
          and services to shareholders of the Fund and to assist the Fund's
          shareholder service agent in servicing accounts of the Firm's
          clients who own Fund shares ("clients").  Such services and
          assistance may include, but are not limited to, establishment and
          maintenance of shareholder accounts and records, processing
          purchase and redemption transactions, automatic investment in
          Fund shares of client account cash balances, answering routine
          client inquiries regarding the Fund, assistance to clients in
          changing dividend options, account designations and addresses,
          and such other services as the Fund or KFS may reasonably
          request.  KFS may also provide some of the above services for the
          Fund directly.

               KFS accepts such appointment and agrees during the term
          hereof to render such services and to assume the obligations
          herein set forth for the compensation herein provided.  KFS shall
          for all purposes herein provided be deemed to be an independent
          contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or
          authorized, shall have no authority to act for or represent the
          Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund. 
          KFS, by separate agreement with the Fund, may also serve the Fund
          in other capacities.  The services of KFS to the Fund under this
          Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and KFS shall be free
          to render similar services or other services to others.

               As noted above, in carrying out its duties and
          responsibilities hereunder, KFS will appoint various Firms to
          provide administrative and other services described herein
          directly to or for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund who

<PAGE>   2

          may be clients of such Firms.  Such Firms shall at all times be
          deemed to be independent contractors retained by KFS and not the
          Fund.  KFS and not the Fund will be responsible for the payment
          of compensation to such Firms for such services.  The services
          agreements between KFS and such Firms shall be substantially in
          the form attached hereto as Appendix I.  In the discretion of
          KFS, the fee schedule for any specific Firm may be varied from
          that set forth in Appendix I. 

               2.   For the services and facilities described in Section 1,
          the Fund will pay to KFS at the end of each calendar month an
          administrative services fee computed at an annual rate of .15 of
          1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.  For the month
          and year in which this Agreement becomes effective or terminates,
          there shall be an appropriate proration on the basis of the
          number of days that the Agreement is in effect during such month
          and year, respectively.

               The net asset value for each series of shares ("Portfolio")
          of the Fund shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions
          of the Fund's current prospectus.  On each day when net asset
          value is not calculated, the net asset value of a share of any
          Portfolio shall be deemed to be the net asset value of such a
          share as of the close of business on the last day on which such
          calculation was made for the purpose of the foregoing
          computations.

               3.   The Fund shall assume and pay all charges and expenses
          of its operations not specifically assumed or otherwise to be
          provided by KFS under this Agreement.

               4.   This Agreement may be terminated at any time without
          the payment of any penalty by the Fund or by KFS on sixty (60)
          days written notice to the other party.  Termination of this
          Agreement shall not affect the right of KFS to receive payments
          on any unpaid balance of the compensation described in Section 2
          hereof earned prior to such termination.

               5.   If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or
          made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the
          remainder shall not be thereby affected.

               6.   Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing,
          addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other
          party at such address as such other party may designate for the
          receipt of such notice.

               7.   All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of the
          Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and all amendments
          thereto, all of which are on file with the Secretary of The
          Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the limitation of shareholder
          and trustee liability contained therein.  This Agreement has been

          executed by and on behalf of the Fund by its representatives as
          such representatives and not individually, and the obligations of
          the Fund hereunder are not binding upon any of the trustees,
          officers or shareholders of the Fund individually but are binding
          upon only the assets and property of the Fund.  With respect to
          any claim by KFS for recovery of that portion of the
          administrative services fees (or any other liability of the Fund
          arising hereunder) allocated to a particular Portfolio, whether
          in accordance with the express terms hereof or otherwise, KFS
          shall have recourse solely against the assets of that Portfolio
          to satisfy such claim and shall have no recourse against the
          assets of any other Portfolio for such purpose.

               8.   This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
          applicable federal law and (except as to Section 7 hereof which
          shall be construed in accordance with the laws of The
          Commonwealth of Massachusetts) the laws of the State of Illinois.

               9.   This Agreement is the entire contract between the
          parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
          prior agreements between the parties relating to the subject
          matter hereof.

               IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund and KFS have caused this
          Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first above
          written.

                                                                 ----------

                                  SERVICES AGREEMENT


               AGREEMENT made this ____ day of _________________ between
          KEMPER FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. ("KFS"), as administrator for 
          INVESTORS CASH TRUST (the "Fund") pursuant to the Administration
          and Shareholder Services Agreement ("Administration Agreement"),
          and ____________________________ (the "Firm").

               In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
          contained, the parties agree as follows:

               1.   KFS hereby appoints the Firm to provide administrative
          services for its clients through the Fund.  The Firm shall
          provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities and
          personnel as is necessary or beneficial for providing information
          and services to shareholders, and to assist the Fund's
          shareholder service agent in servicing accounts of the Firm's
          clients who own Fund shares ("clients").  Such services and
          assistance may include, but are not limited to, establishment and
          maintenance of shareholder accounts and records, processing
          purchase and redemption transactions, automatic investment in
          Fund shares of client account cash balances, answering routine
          client inquiries regarding the Fund, assistance to clients in
          changing dividend options, account designations and addresses,
          and such other services as KFS may reasonably request.

               The Firm shall provide such security as is necessary to
          prevent unauthorized use of any on-line computer facilities.  The
          Firm agrees to release, indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and
          KFS, and their respective agents and representatives, from any
          and all direct or indirect liabilities or losses resulting from
          requests, directions, actions or inactions of or by the Firm, its
          officers, employees or agents regarding the purchase, redemption,
          transfer or registration of Fund shares for accounts of the Firm,
          its clients and other shareholders.  Principals of the Firm will
          be available to consult from time to time with KFS concerning the
          administration of, and the performance of the services
          contemplated by, this Agreement.

               The Firm accepts such appointment and agrees during such
          period to render such services and to assume the obligations
          herein set forth for the compensation herein provided.  The Firm
          shall for all purposes herein provided be deemed to be an
          independent contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided
          or authorized, shall have no authority to act for or represent
          the Fund or KFS in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the
          Fund or KFS.

               2.   For the services and facilities described in Section 1,
          KFS will pay a fee to the Firm after the end of each month at the
          annual rate of .15 of 1% of the average aggregate daily net asset
          value of shares of the Fund in the accounts for which the Firm
          provides services. 

          In computing the Firm's fee, one-twelfth of the applicable fee
          rate shall be applied to the average aggregate daily net asset
          value of shares of the Fund in accounts for which the Firm
          provides services for the month in question.  Each month's fee
          shall be determined independently of every other month's fee. 
          KFS may in its sole discretion from time to time pay additional
          amounts to the Firm, either on the basis of a percentage of the
          average aggregate daily net asset value of shares of the Fund in
          accounts serviced by such Firm or as fixed dollar amounts.  For
          the month in which this Agreement becomes effective or
          terminates, there shall be an appropriate proration on the basis
          of the number of days that the Agreement is in effect during the
          month.  The fee schedule may be modified or supplemented from
          time to time by KFS by notice to the Firm.

               3.   This Agreement shall become effective on the date
          hereof and shall continue in effect until terminated.  This
          Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
          assignment and upon any termination of the Administration
          Agreement.  It may be terminated at any time by the Firm or by
          KFS on thirty (30) days written notice.

               4.   The Firm acknowledges that KFS may enter into similar
          agreements with others without the consent of this Firm.

               5.   If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or
          made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the
          remainder shall not be affected thereby.

               6.   All communications to KFS shall be sent to 120 South
          LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois  60603.  Any notice to the Firm
          shall be duly given if mailed or telegraphed to the address
          specified below.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
          with the laws of Illinois.

            AMENDMENT TO ADMINISTRATION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES AGREEMENT



               Agreement made as of this 1st day of December, 1993, between
          INVESTORS CASH TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust (the

               WHEREAS, the Fund and KFS are parties to an Administration
          and Shareholder Services Agreement dated October 1, 1991; and

          mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is hereby agreed by
          and between the parties as follows:

               1.   The first paragraph of Section 2 of the Administration
          and Shareholder Services Agreement is amended to read in its

               this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, there
               shall be an appropriate proration on the basis of the
               number of days that the Agreement is in effect during
               such month and year, respectively.

               2.   The Administration and Shareholder Services Agreement

                                                                EXHIBIT 99.B16.


                         EXHIBIT OF PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS

         This exhibit reflects the calculation of certain performance figures
        that appear under "Performance" in the Part B Statement of Additional
             Information ("Part B") of Investors Cash Trust (the "Fund"). 

     1.   Formula.  A Portfolio's seven-day current yield quotation is based on
     a seven-day period and is calculated as follows.  The first calculation is
     net investment income per share, which is accrued interest on portfolio
     securities, plus or minus amortized discount or premium (excluding market
     discount), less accrued expenses.  This number is then divided by the price
     per share (expected to remain constant at $1.00) at the beginning of the
     period ("seven-day base period return").  The result is then divided by 7
     and multiplied by 365 and the resulting yield figure is carried to the
     nearest one-hundredth of one percent.  Realized capital gains or losses and
     unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments are not included in
     the calculation.

     A Portfolio's seven-day effective yield is determined by taking the base
     period return (calculated as described above) and calculating the effect of
     assumed compounding.  The formula for the effective yield 
     is:                                          365/7
                (seven-day base period return + 1)      - 1.

     A Portfolio's thirty-day yield is calculated similarly to seven-day yield
     except that a thirty-day base period return is used and the base period
     return is divided by 30, multiplied by 365 and carried to the nearest one-
     hundredth of one percent.

     The formula for a Portfolio's thirty-day effective yield is 
                                        365/30
     (thirty-day base period return + 1)        - 1.

     2.  Performance Reflected.  The representative yield calculations reflected
     herein are for the seven- and thirty-day periods ended March 31, 1991 for
     the Government Securities Portfolio.

     3.  Seven-day Yield.  First, net investment income per share for the last
     day of the seven-day period is calculated.  The following figures are
     provided for this purpose:

     a.  Accrued interest, including amortization of premium and discount, for
     March 31, 1991 equals $8,753.05.

     b.  Accrued expenses for March 31, 1991 equal $548.00.

     c.  The number of outstanding shares of record for dividend purposes on
     March 31, 1991 equals 50,030,797.81.

     Net investment income per share for March 31, 1991 is then calculated as
     follows:

                                        Accrued Interest-Accrued Expenses
     Net Investment Income Per Share =  ---------------------------------  
                                             Record Date Shares

                         $8,753.05 - $548.00
                         ------------------- = $.000164000/Share
                            50,030,797.81

     Net investment income for the other six days in the seven-day period is
     then calculated in the same manner.  The resulting figures for each of the
     seven days in the period are added together to obtain the net investment
     income per share for the period as follows:

                                                  Net Investment
          Date                                    Income Per Share

     TOTAL                                        $.001146212/Share

     Then, seven-day base period return is calculated.

                                            Net Investment Income Per Share
            Seven-day Base Period Return =  -------------------------------

                                $1.00/Share

     Then, seven-day yield is calculated.

                                    Seven-day Base Period Return
                            Yield = ---------------------------- X 365

                                  = .0598

<PAGE>   3



     The decimal return is converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100.

                                    .0598 X 100 = 5.98%

     4.  Seven-day Effective Yield.  The seven-day base period return for use in
     the formula for seven-day effective yield set forth in Sub-section 1 above
     is the same as calculated in Sub-section 3 above.
                                                             365/7
         Seven-day Effective Yield = (Base Period Return + 1)      - 1

                                                     365/7
                                   = (.001146212 + 1)      - 1

                                                  365/7
                                   = (1.001146212)      - 1

                                   = 1.0616 - 1

                                   = .0616

     The decimal return is converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100.

                                     .0616 X 100 = 6.16%

     5.  Thirty-day Yield.  First, net investment income per share is calculated
     for each day in the thirty-day period, as illustrated in Sub-section 3
     above.  The resulting figures for each of the thirty days are added
     together to obtain the net investment income per share for the period as
     follows:

     Net investment income per share, March 2, 1991 - March 31, 1991 =
     $.004941915/Share

     Then, the thirty-day base period return is calculated.

                                            Net Investment Income Per Share
           Thirty-day Base Period Return =  -------------------------------
                                                   Price Per Share

                           $.004941915/Share
                           ----------------- = .004941915
                                $1.00/Share

     Then, thirty-day yield is calculated.

                                    Thirty-day Base Period Return
                 Thirty-day Yield = ----------------------------- X 365

     4.  Thirty-day Effective Yield.  The thirty-day base period return for use
     in the formula for effective yield is the same as calculated in Subsection
     5 above.  

                                                                     365/30 
     Thirty-day Effective Yield = (Thirty-day Base Period Return + 1)       - 1

                                                  365/30
                                = (.004941915 + 1)       - 1

        Re:     Investors Cash Trust

To The Commission:

        We are counsel to the above-referenced investment company (the "Fund")
and as such have participated in the preparation and review of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 7 to the Fund's registration statement being filed pursuant to
Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act of 1933.  In accordance with paragraph
(b)(4) of Rule 485, we hereby represent that such amendment does not contain
disclosures which would render it ineligible to become effective pursuant to
paragraph (b) thereof.


                                           Very truly yours,

                                           /s/ Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz

                                           VEDDER, PRICE, KAUFMAN & KAMMHOLZ
