About The Portfolio

Investment objective

The portfolio seeks to provide maximum current income consistent with stability
of capital.

The portfolio's investment objective may be changed by the portfolio's Board of
Trustees, without a vote of shareholders.

Main investment strategies

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 related repurchase
agreements. All such securities purchased mature in 12 months or less. The
portfolio maintains a dollar weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and is
managed to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are
instruments under which the portfolio acquires ownership of a U.S. Government
security from a broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase such security at
a mutually agreed upon time and price, which price is higher than the purchase
price. The maturity of the securities subject to repurchase may exceed one year.
Currently, the 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.

The portfolio may invest in floating rate and variable rate instruments
(obligations that do not bear interest at fixed rates).

Securities are purchased and sold based on the investment manager's perception
of monetary conditions, the available supply of appropriate investments, and the
investment managers' projections for short-term interest rate movements.

Of course, there can be no guarantee that by following these investment
strategies, the portfolio will achieve its objective.

Risk management strategies

The portfolio seeks to minimize credit risk by investing exclusively in
short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities.

                                       1
<PAGE>

Main risks

As with most money market funds, the major factor affecting the portfolio's
performance is fluctuations in short-term interest rates. If short-term interest
rates fall, the portfolio's yield is also likely to fall. Floating rate or
variable rate securities have yields which adjust with changes in interest
rates. Accordingly, to the extent the portfolio invests in floating or variable
rate securities, as interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for
capital appreciation or depreciation is less than that of fixed-rate
obligations. Moreover, the investment manager's strategy or choice of specific
investments may not perform as expected. This portfolio may have lower returns
than other funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.

Some securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities are
supported only by the credit of that agency or instrumentality, while other
securities have 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.

An investment in the portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Company or any other government agency. Although the portfolio
seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is
possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio.

Past performance

No performance information is provided for the Institutional Shares since they
do not have a full calendar year of performance. For reference, the chart and
table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the portfolio
by illustrating how the portfolio's Service Shares have performed from year to
year and by showing the average annual returns for the periods stated. Of
course, past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

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

*  While Service Shares are not offered in this prospectus, they have
   substantially similar annual returns as those of Institutional Shares because
   both are invested in the same portfolio of securities. Annual returns would
   differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.
   Institutional Shares have lower expenses than those of Service Shares.

For the period included in the bar chart, the Service Shares' highest return for
a calendar quarter was 1.57% (the first quarter of 1991), and the Service
Shares' lowest return for a calendar quarter was 0.71% (the fourth quarter of
1992 and the first quarter of 1993).

The Service Shares' year-to-date total return as of September 30, 1999 was
3.62%.

Example

This example is to help you compare the cost of investing in the Institutional
Shares of the portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

This example illustrates the impact of the above fees and expenses on an account
with an initial investment of $10,000, based on the Institutional Shares
expenses as shown above. It assumes a 5% annual return, the reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions, and "Total annual portfolio operating expenses"
remaining the same each year. The expenses would be the same whether you sold
your shares at the end of each period or continued to hold them. Actual
portfolio expenses and returns vary from year to year, and may be higher or
lower than those shown.

Investment adviser

The portfolio retains the investment management firm of Scudder Kemper
Investments, Inc. (the "Adviser"), 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York, to
manage its daily investment and business affairs subject to the policies
established by the portfolio's Board. The Adviser actively manages the
portfolio's investments. Professional management can be an important advantage
for investors who do not have the time or expertise to invest directly in
individual securities. The Adviser is one of the largest and most experienced
investment management organizations worldwide, managing more than $290 billion
in assets globally for mutual fund investors, retirement and pension plans,
institutional and corporate clients, and private family and individual accounts.

The Adviser received an investment management fee of 0.07% of the portfolio's
average daily net assets on an annual basis for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1999 reflecting the effect of expense limitations then in effect.

Year 2000 readiness

Like all mutual funds, this portfolio could be affected by the inability of some
computer systems to recognize the year 2000. The Adviser has a year 2000
readiness program designed to address this problem, and has researched the
readiness of suppliers and business partners as well as issuers of securities
the portfolio owns. Still, there's some risk that the year 2000 problem could
materially affect the portfolio's operations (such as its ability to calculate
net asset value and process purchases and redemptions), its investments, or
securities markets in general.

About Your Investment

Transaction information

Share price

Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation determines the net asset value per share of
each class of the portfolio on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange") is open for trading, at 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern
time.

The portfolio seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share of each
class, and values its portfolio instruments at amortized cost. Calculations are
made to compare the value of the portfolio's investments, valued at amortized
cost, with market-based values. In order to value its investments at amortized
cost, the portfolio purchases only securities with a maturity of 12 days or
less, and maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or
less.

The net asset value per share is the value of one share, and is determined by
dividing the value of the portfolio's total assets attributable to the
applicable class, less all liabilities attributable to that class, by the total
number of shares outstanding for that class.

Minimum balances

The minimum initial investment and account balance is $1,000,000. There is no
required minimum investment amount for subsequent investments.

For each class of shares account balances will be reviewed periodically and the
portfolio reserves the right, following 60 days written notice to shareholders,
to redeem all shares in accounts that have a value below the required minimum
for at least 30 days where such a reduction in value has occurred due to a
redemption, exchange or transfer out of the account.

The minimum investment requirements may be waived or lowered for investments
effected through banks and other institutions that have entered into special
arrangements with Kemper Distributors, Inc. ("KDI") on behalf of the portfolio
and for investments effected on a group basis by certain other entities and
their employees, such as pursuant to a payroll deduction plan and for
investments made in an Individual Retirement Account. Investment minimums may
also be waived for trustees and officers of Investors Cash Trust (the "Trust").

Buying shares

1. You may open an account by calling toll free from any continental state:
   1-800-537-3177. Give the fund and class to be invested in, name(s) in which
   the account is to be registered, address, Social Security or taxpayer
   identification number, dividend payment election, amount to be wired, name of
   the wiring bank and name and telephone number of the person to be contacted
   in connection with the order. An account number will then be assigned.

2. Instruct the wiring bank to transmit the specified amount to:

   UMB Bank, N.A.
   10th and Grand Avenue Kansas City, Missouri 64106 ABA Number 101-000-695 DDA#
   144:98-0120-0321-1
   Attention: Government Securities Portfolio: Institutional Shares
   Account Number (as assigned by the telephone representative) and amount
   invested in the portfolio.

3. Complete a Purchase Application. Indicate the services to be used. A complete
   Purchase Application must be received by Kemper Service Company (the
   "Shareholder Servicing Agent") before the Expedited Redemption Service can be
   used. Mail the Purchase Application to:

   Kemper Service Company
   Attn: Institutional Funds Client Services
   222 South Riverside Plaza, 33rd Floor
   Chicago, IL 60606


Once your order is received by Kemper Service Company or its agent, and they
have determined that it is in "good order," it will be processed at the next
determined share price calculated. Wire purchase orders received between 2 p.m.
and 4 p.m. Eastern time may be rejected based on certain guidelines described in
the Statement of Additional Information. Wire purchase orders that arrive, are
accepted, and are funded before 4 p.m. will be processed that day.

Shares purchased by wire will receive that day's dividend if effected at or
prior to the 4:00 p.m. Eastern time net asset value determination, otherwise
such shares will receive the dividend for the next calendar day.

Additional purchases by wire

Instruct the wiring bank to transmit the specified amount to UMB Bank, N.A. with
the information stated above.

                                       7
<PAGE>

Initial purchase by mail

1. Complete a Purchase Application and indicate the services to be used.

2. Mail the Purchase Application and check payable to "Government Securities
   Portfolio" to the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the address set forth above.


Orders for purchase accompanied by a check or other negotiable bank draft will
be accepted and effected as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next business day
following receipt, and such shares will receive the dividend for the next
calendar 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.


Additional purchases by mail

1. Send a check with a letter of instruction including your account number and
   the portfolio and class name, to the appropriate address listed above. Write
   your fund account number on the check. If the check is returned to the
   portfolio because of insufficient funds a $10 fee will be charged.

2. Mail the check to the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the address set forth
   above.

Purchase restrictions

The portfolio and KDI each reserves the right to reject or limit purchases of
shares for any reason. Also, from time to time, the portfolio may temporarily
suspend the offering of its shares to new investors. During the period of such
suspension, persons who are already shareholders normally are permitted to
continue to purchase additional shares and to have dividends reinvested.

Selling shares

Upon receipt by the Shareholder Servicing Agent of a redemption request in
proper form, shares of the portfolio will be redeemed at their next determined
net asset value. (See "Share Price.") For the shareholders' convenience, the
Trust has established several different redemption methods.

The Trust may suspend the right of redemption during any period when (i) trading
on the Exchange is restricted or the Exchange is closed, (ii) the SEC has by
order permitted such suspension, (iii) an emergency, as defined by rules of the
SEC, exists making disposal of portfolio securities or determination of the
value of the net assets of the portfolio not reasonably practicable.

                                       8
<PAGE>

Processing time

Payment for shares you sell will be made as promptly as practicable but in no
event later than seven days after receipt of a properly executed request. If you
have share certificates, those must accompany your order in proper form for
transfer. When you place an order to sell shares for which the portfolio may not
yet have received good payment (i.e. purchases by check or certain Automated
Clearing House Transactions), the portfolio may delay transmittal of the
proceeds until it has determined that collected funds have been received for the
purchase of such shares. This may be up to 10 days from receipt by the portfolio
of the purchase amount. 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, the redemption of such shares by the portfolio may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge as explained in the prospectus for the other
fund.

Redemption by Expedited Redemption Service

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

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


1. Telephone the request to the Shareholder Servicing Agent by calling toll-fee
   from any continental state: 1-800-537-3177


2. Fax your request to 1-800-537-9960, or

3. Mail the request to the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the address set forth
   above.

Proceeds of Expedited Redemptions will be wired to your bank indicated in the
Purchase Application. If an Expedited Redemption request for the portfolio is
received by the Transfer Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a day when the
Trust and the Custodian are open for business, the redemption proceeds will
normally be transmitted to your bank that same day. In the case of investments
in the portfolio that have been effected through banks and other institutions
that have entered into special arrangements with the Trust, the full amount of
the redemption proceeds will be transmitted by wire.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Redemption by mail

To redeem shares by mail follow these instructions:

1. Write a letter of instruction. Indicate the dollar amount or number of shares
   to be redeemed. Refer to your portfolio account number and give your Social
   Security or taxpayer identification number (where applicable).

2. Sign the letter in exactly the same way the account was registered. If there
   is more than one owner of the shares, all must sign.

3. A signature guarantee is required unless you sell shares worth $50,000 or
   less and the proceeds are payable to the shareholder of record at the address
   of record. You can obtain a guarantee from most brokerage houses and
   financial institutions, although not from a notary public. The portfolio will
   normally send you the proceeds within one business day following your
   request, but may take up to seven business days (or longer in the case of
   shares recently purchased by check).

4. Mail letter to the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the address set forth under
   "Initial Purchase By Wire."

Redemption by telephone

To speak with a service representative, call 1-800-537-3177 from 8:30 a.m. to

Share certificates

When certificates for shares have been issued, they must be mailed to or
deposited with the Transfer 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 an account holder, with signatures guaranteed. 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 Transfer to Minors Act), executors,
administrators, trustees or guardians.

Third party transactions

If you buy and sell shares of the portfolio with the assistance of a financial
services firm (other than the portfolio's distributor), that member may charge a
fee for that service. This prospectus should be read in connection with such
firms' material regarding their fees and services. You should contact your firm
for information concerning purchasing and selling shares.

Distributions

The portfolio's dividends are declared daily and distributed monthly to
shareholders. Any dividends or capital gains distributions declared in October,
November or December with a record date in such month and paid during the
following January will be treated by you for federal income tax purposes as if
received on December 31 of the calendar year declared. The portfolio may adjust
its schedule for dividend reinvestment for the month of December to assist in
complying with the reporting and minimum distribution requirements contained in
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

Income dividends and capital gain dividends, if any, of the portfolio will be
credited to shareholder accounts in full and fractional shares of the portfolio
at net asset value, except that, upon written request to the Shareholder
Servicing Agent, a shareholder may choose to receive income and capital gain
dividends in cash.

If an investment is in the form of a retirement plan, all dividends and capital
gain distributions must be reinvested into the shareholder's account.
Distributions are generally taxable whether received in cash or reinvested.
Exchanges among other mutual funds may also be taxable events.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Taxes

Generally, dividends from net investment income are taxable to shareholders as
ordinary income. Long-term capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to
shareholders as long-term capital gains, regardless of length of time
shareholders have owned shares. Short-term capital gains and any other taxable
income distributions are taxable as ordinary income. A portion of dividends from
ordinary income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction for
corporations.

The portfolio sends detailed tax information about the amount and type of its
distributions by January 31 of the following year.

The portfolio may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the rate of
31% of all taxable distributions payable to shareholders who fail to provide the
portfolio with their correct taxpayer identification number or to make required
certifications, or who have been notified by the IRS that they are subject to
backup withholding. Any such withheld amounts may be credited against the
shareholder's U.S. federal income tax liability.

You may be subject to state, local, and foreign taxes on portfolio distributions
and dispositions of portfolio shares. You should consult your tax advisor
regarding the particular tax consequences of an investment in the portfolio.

About The Portfolio

Investment objective

The portfolio seeks to provide maximum current income consistent with stability
of capital.

The portfolio's investment objective may be changed by the portfolio's Board of
Trustees, without a vote of shareholders.

Main investment strategies

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 related repurchase
agreements. All such securities purchased mature in 12 months or less. The
portfolio maintains a dollar weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and is
managed to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are
instruments under which the portfolio acquires ownership of a U.S. Government
security from a broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase such security at
a mutually agreed upon time and price, which price is higher than the purchase
price. The maturity of the securities subject to repurchase may exceed one year.
Currently, the 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.

The portfolio may invest in floating rate and variable rate instruments
(obligations that do not bear interest at fixed rates).

Securities are purchased and sold based on the investment manager's perception
of monetary conditions, the available supply of appropriate investments, and the
investment managers' projections for short-term interest rate movements.

Of course, there can be no guarantee that by following these investment
strategies, the portfolio will achieve its objective.

Risk management strategies

The portfolio seeks to minimize credit risk by investing exclusively in
short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities.

                                       1
<PAGE>

Main risks

As with most money market funds, the major factor affecting the portfolio's
performance is fluctuations in short-term interest rates. If short-term interest
rates fall, the portfolio's yield is also likely to fall. Floating rate or
variable rate securities have yields which adjust with changes in interest
rates. Accordingly, to the extent the portfolio invests in floating or variable
rate securities, as interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for
capital appreciation or depreciation is less than that of fixed-rate
obligations. Moreover, the investment manager's strategy or choice of specific
investments may not perform as expected. This portfolio may have lower returns
than other funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.

Some securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities are
supported only by the credit of that agency or instrumentality, while other
securities have 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.

An investment in the portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Company or any other government agency. Although the portfolio
seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is
possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio.

Past performance

No performance information is provided for the Managed Shares since they do not
have a full calendar year of performance. For reference, the chart and table
below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the portfolio by
illustrating how the portfolio's Service Shares have performed from year to year
and by showing the average annual returns for the periods stated below. Of
course, past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

Annual total returns of the Service Shares* for years ended December 31

THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT CONTAINS A BAR CHART HERE.

BAR CHART DATA:

     1991          5.71%
     1992          3.45%
     1993          2.95%

     1995          5.83%
     1996          5.33%
     1997          5.93%
     1998          5.35%

*        While Service Shares are not offered in this prospectus, they have
         substantially similar annual returns as those of Managed Shares because
         both are invested in the same portfolio of securities. Annual returns
         would differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same
         expenses. Managed Shares have lower total operating expenses than those
         of Service Shares.

For the period included in the bar chart, the Service Shares' highest return for
a calendar quarter was 1.57% (the first quarter of 1991), and the Service
Shares' lowest return for a calendar quarter was 0.71% (the fourth quarter of
1992 and the first quarter of 1993).

The Service Shares' year-to-date total return as of September 30, 1999 was
3.62%.

Example

This example is to help you compare the cost of investing in the Managed Shares
of the portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

This example illustrates the impact of the above fees and expenses on an account
with an initial investment of $10,000, based on the Managed Shares' expenses as
shown above. It assumes a 5% annual return, the reinvestment of all dividends
and distributions, and "Total annual portfolio operating expenses" remaining the
same each year. The expenses would be the same whether you sold your shares at
the end of each period or continued to hold them. Actual portfolio expenses and
returns vary from year to year, and may be higher or lower than those shown.

Investment adviser

The portfolio retains the investment management firm of Scudder Kemper
Investments, Inc. (the "Adviser"), 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York, to
manage its daily investment and business affairs subject to the policies
established by the portfolio's Board. The Adviser actively manages the
portfolio's investments. Professional management can be an important advantage
for investors who do not have the time or expertise to invest directly in
individual securities. The Adviser is one of the largest and most experienced
investment management organizations worldwide, managing more than $290 billion
in assets globally for mutual fund investors, retirement and pension plans,
institutional and corporate clients, and private family and individual accounts.

The Adviser received an investment management fee of 0.07% of the portfolio's
average daily net assets on an annual basis for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1999, reflecting the effect of expense limitations then in effect.

Portfolio management

The following investment professionals are associated with the portfolio as
indicated:



Name & Title             Joined the Portfolio   Background
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frank J. Rachwalski, Jr.        1990           Joined the Adviser in 1973 and
Lead Manager                 (inception)       began his investment career at
                                               that time. He has been
                                               responsible for the trading and
                                               portfolio management of money
                                               market funds since 1974.

Jerri I. Cohen                  1998           Joined the Adviser in 1981 as an
Manager                                        accountant and began her
                                               investment career in 1992 as a
                                               money market trader.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Year 2000 readiness

Like all mutual funds, this portfolio could be affected by the inability of some
computer systems to recognize the year 2000. The Adviser has a year 2000
readiness program designed to address this problem, and has researched the
readiness of suppliers and business partners as well as issuers of securities
the portfolio owns. Still, there's some risk that the year 2000 problem could
materially affect the portfolio's operations (such as its ability to calculate
net asset value and process purchases and redemptions), its investments, or
securities markets in general.

About Your Investment

Transaction Information

Share price

Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation determines the net asset value per share of
each class of the portfolio on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange") is open for trading, at 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern
time.

The portfolio seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share of each
class, and values its portfolio instruments at amortized cost. Calculations are
made to compare the value of the portfolio's investments, valued at amortized
cost, with market-based values. In order to value its investments at amortized
cost, the portfolio purchases only securities with a maturity of 12 days or
less, and maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or
less.

The net asset value per share is the value of one share, and is determined by
dividing the value of the portfolio's total assets attributable to the
applicable class, less all liabilities attributable to that class, by the total
number of shares outstanding for that class.

Minimum balances

The minimum initial investment and account balance is $100,000. The minimum for
each additional investment is $1,000 and $100 for IRAs.

Account balances will be reviewed periodically and the portfolio reserves the
right, following 60 days written notice to shareholders, to redeem all shares in
accounts that have a value below the required minimum for at least 30 days where
such a reduction in value has occurred due to a redemption, exchange or transfer
out of the account.

The minimum investment requirements may be waived or lowered for investments
effected through banks and other institutions that have entered into special
arrangements with Kemper Distributors, Inc. ("KDI") on behalf of the portfolio
and for investments effected on a group basis by certain other entities and
their employees, such as pursuant to a payroll deduction plan and for
investments made in an Individual Retirement Account. Investment minimums may
also be waived for trustees and officers of Investors Cash Trust (the "Trust").

the Statement of Additional Information. Wire purchase orders that arrive, are
accepted, and are funded before 4 p.m. will be processed that day.

Shares purchased by wire will receive that day's dividend if effected at or
prior to the 4:00 p.m. Eastern time net asset value determination, otherwise
such shares will receive the dividend for the next calendar day.


Additional purchases by wire

Instruct the wiring bank to transmit the specified amount to UMB Bank, N.A. with
the information stated above.

Initial purchase by mail

1.       Complete a Purchase Application and indicate the services to be used.

2.       Mail the Purchase Application and check payable to "Government
         Securities Portfolio" to the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the address
         set forth above.


Orders for purchase accompanied by a check or other negotiable bank draft will
be accepted and effected as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next business day
following receipt, and such shares will receive the dividend for the next
calendar 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.


Additional purchases by mail

1.       Send a check with a letter of instruction including your account number
         and the portfolio and class name, to the appropriate address listed
         above. Write your fund account number on the check. If the check is
         returned to the portfolio because of insufficient funds a $10 fee will
         be charged.

2.       Mail the check to the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the address set
         forth above.

Automatic Investment Plan

You may arrange to make investments of $50 or more on a regular basis through
automatic deductions from your bank checking account. Please call 1-800-537-3177
for more information and enrollment.

Purchase restrictions

The portfolio and KDI each reserves the right to reject or limit purchases of
shares for any reason. Also, from time to time, the portfolio may temporarily
suspend the offering of its shares to new investors. During the period of such
suspension, persons who are already shareholders normally are permitted to
continue to purchase additional shares and to have dividends reinvested.

Selling shares

Upon receipt by the Shareholder Servicing Agent of a redemption request in
proper form, shares of the portfolio will be redeemed at their next determined
net asset value. (See "Share Price.") For the shareholders' convenience, the
Trust has established several different redemption methods.


                                       8
<PAGE>


The Trust may suspend the right of redemption during any period when (i) trading
on the Exchange is restricted or the Exchange is closed, (ii) the SEC has by
order permitted such suspension, (iii) an emergency, as defined by rules of the
SEC, exists making disposal of portfolio securities or determination of the
value of the net assets of the portfolio not reasonably practicable.

Processing time

Payment for shares you sell will be made as promptly as practicable but in no
event later than seven days after receipt of a properly executed request. If you
have share certificates, those must accompany your order in proper form for
transfer. When you place an order to sell shares for which the portfolio may not
yet have received good payment (i.e. purchases by check or certain Automated
Clearing House Transactions), the portfolio may delay transmittal of the
proceeds until it has determined that collected funds have been received for the
purchase of such shares. This may be up to 10 days from receipt by the portfolio
of the purchase amount. 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, the redemption of such shares by the portfolio may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge as explained in the prospectus for the other
fund.

Redemption by Expedited Redemption Service

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

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


1.       Telephone the request to the Shareholder Service Agent by calling
         toll-fee from any continental state: 1-800-537-3177


2.       Fax your request to 1-800-537-9960, or

3.       Mail the request to the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the address set
         forth above.

Proceeds of Expedited Redemptions will be wired to your bank indicated in the
Purchase Application. If an Expedited Redemption request for the portfolio is
received by the Transfer Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a day when the
Trust and the Custodian are open for business, the redemption proceeds will
normally be transmitted to your bank that same day. In the case of investments
in the portfolio that have been effected through banks and other institutions
that have entered into special arrangements with the Trust, the full amount of
the redemption proceeds will be transmitted by wire.



                                       9
<PAGE>

Redemption by checkwriting

You may redeem shares by writing checks against your account balance in amounts
of at least $1,000 but no more than $5 million. A $10 service charge will be
assessed for checks that are written for less than $1,000. If there are
insufficient shares in your account to meet the withdrawal, checks will be
returned and a $10 service charge will be assessed by the Shareholder Servicing
Agent.

Your portfolio investments will continue to earn dividends until your check is
presented to the portfolio for payment. You should not attempt to close an
account by check because the exact balance at the time the check clears will not
be known when the check is written.

Redemption by mail

To redeem shares by mail follow these instructions:

1.       Write a letter of instruction. Indicate the dollar amount or number of
         shares to be redeemed. Refer to your portfolio account number and give
         your Social Security or taxpayer identification number (where
         applicable).

2.       Sign the letter in exactly the same way the account was registered. If
         there is more than one owner of the shares, all must sign.

3.       A signature guarantee is required unless you sell shares worth $50,000
         or less and the proceeds are payable to the shareholder of record at
         the address of record. You can obtain a guarantee from most brokerage
         houses and financial institutions, although not from a notary public.
         The portfolio will normally send you the proceeds within one business
         day following your request, but may take up to seven business days (or
         longer in the case of shares recently purchased by check).

4.       Mail letter to the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the address set forth
         under "Initial Purchase By Wire."

Redemption by telephone

To speak with a service representative, call 1-800-537-3177 from 8:30 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. Eastern time. You may have redemption proceeds of up to $50,000 sent
to your address of record without providing a signature guarantee.


                                       10
<PAGE>

Redemption by fax

Send your fax to 1-800-537-9960 and include:

1.       the name of the portfolio and the class and account number you are
         redeeming from;

2.       your name(s) and address as they appear on the account;

3.       the dollar amount or number of shares you wish to redeem;

4.       your signature(s) as it appears on your account; and

5.       a daytime phone number.

A representative will call to confirm your request before processing.

Redemption by Automatic Withdrawal Plan

You may arrange to receive automatic cash payments periodically. Call
1-800-537-3177 for information and an enrollment form.

Share certificates

When certificates for shares have been issued, they must be mailed to or
deposited with the Transfer 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 an account holder, with signatures guaranteed. 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 Transfer to Minors Act), executors,
administrators, trustees or guardians.

Third party transactions

If you buy and sell shares of the portfolio with the assistance of a financial
services firm (other than the portfolio's distributor), that member may charge a
fee for that service. This prospectus should be read in connection with such
firms' material regarding their fees and services. You should contact your firm
for information concerning purchasing and selling shares.

Redemption-in-kind

The portfolio reserves the right to honor any request for redemption or
repurchase order by "redeeming in kind," that is, by giving you marketable
securities (which typically will involve brokerage costs for you to liquidate)
rather than cash; in most cases, the portfolio will not make a
redemption-in-kind unless your requests over 90-day period total more than
$250,000 or 1% of the portfolio's assets, whichever is less.




                                       11
<PAGE>
Distributions

The portfolio's dividends are declared daily and distributed monthly to
shareholders. Any dividends or capital gains distributions declared in October,
November or December with a record date in such month and paid during the
following January will be treated by you for federal income tax purposes as if
received on December 31 of the calendar year declared. The portfolio may adjust
its schedule for dividend reinvestment for the month of December to assist in
complying with the reporting and minimum distribution requirements contained in
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

Income dividends and capital gain dividends, if any, of the portfolio will be
credited to shareholder accounts in full and fractional shares of the portfolio
at net asset value, except that, upon written request to the Shareholder
Servicing Agent, a shareholder may choose to receive income and capital gain
dividends in cash.

If an investment is in the form of a retirement plan, all dividends and capital
gain distributions must be reinvested into the shareholder's account.
Distributions are generally taxable whether received in cash or reinvested.
Exchanges among other mutual funds may also be taxable events.

Taxes

Generally, dividends from net investment income are taxable to shareholders as
ordinary income. Long-term capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to
shareholders as long-term capital gains, regardless of length of time
shareholders have owned shares. Short-term capital gains and any other taxable
income distributions are taxable as ordinary income. A portion of dividends from
ordinary income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction for
corporations.

The portfolio sends detailed tax information about the amount and type of its
distributions by January 31 of the following year.

The portfolio may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the rate of
31% of all taxable distributions payable to shareholders who fail to provide the
portfolio with their correct taxpayer identification number or to make required
certifications, or who have been notified by the IRS that they are subject to
backup withholding. Any such withheld amounts may be credited against the
shareholder's U.S. federal income tax liability.

You may be subject to state, local, and foreign taxes on portfolio distributions
and dispositions of portfolio shares. You should consult your tax advisor
regarding the particular tax consequences of an investment in the portfolio.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trust has adopted for the Portfolio certain  investment  restrictions  which
cannot be changed for the Portfolio without approval by holders of a majority of
its outstanding voting shares. As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "1940 Act"), 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.   Except  as  otherwise  noted,  the
Portfolio's  investment  objective  and other  policies  may be  changed  by the
Portfolio's Board of Trustees, without a vote of shareholders.

The Portfolio has elected to be classified as a diversified  open-end investment
company.

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

1.   borrow money, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, and as interpreted or
     modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time;

2.   issue senior  securities,  except as  permitted  under the 1940 Act, and as
     interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having  jurisdiction,  from
     time to time;

3.   concentrate its investments in a particular industry,  as that term is used
     in the 1940 Act, and as  interpreted  or modified by  regulatory  authority
     having jurisdiction, from time to time;

4.   engage in the business of underwriting  securities issued by others, except
     to the extent  that the  Portfolio  may be deemed to be an  underwriter  in
     connection with the disposition of portfolio securities;

5.   purchase or sell real  estate,  which term does not include  securities  of
     companies which deal in real estate or mortgages or investments  secured by
     real  estate or  interests  therein,  except  that the  Portfolio  reserves
     freedom of action to hold and to sell real  estate  acquired as a result of
     the Portfolio's ownership of securities;

6.   purchase   physical   commodities   or   contracts   relating  to  physical
     commodities; or

7.   make loans,  except as permitted  under the 1940 Act, and as interpreted or
     modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

The following policies are non-fundamental, and may be changed or eliminated for
the Portfolio by its Board without a vote of the Portfolio's shareholders:

The Portfolio may not:

1.   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,

2.   write, purchase, or sell puts, calls or combinations thereof; or

3.   purchase any securities other than obligations  issued or guaranteed by the
     U.S.  Government,   its  agencies  or  instrumentalities,   and  repurchase
     agreements of such  obligations,  except in connection with a master/feeder
     fund  structure.  However,  if the Fund  implements  a  master/feeder  fund
     structure, shareholder approval is required.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND TECHNIQUES


Descriptions  in  this  Statement  of  Additional  Information  of a  particular
investment  practice  or  technique  in which  the  Portfolio  may  engage  or a
financial  instrument which the Portfolio may purchase are meant to describe the
spectrum of investments that Scudder Kemper Investments,  Inc. (the "Adviser" or
"Scudder  Kemper"),  in its  discretion,  might,  but is not required to, use in
managing the  Portfolio's  assets.  The Adviser may, in its  discretion,  at any
time,  employ such  practice,  technique or instrument for one or more funds but
not for all funds advised by it. Furthermore,  it is possible that certain types
of financial  instruments or investment  techniques  described herein may not be
available,  permissible,  economically  feasible or effective for their intended
purposes in all markets. Certain practices,  techniques,  or instruments may not
be principal  activities of the Portfolio,  but, to the extent employed,  could,
from time to time, have a material impact on the Portfolio's performance.


The Portfolio  described in this Statement of Additional seek to provide maximum
current  income  consistent  with the  stability  of capital.  The  Portfolio is
managed to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.


The Trust is a money  market  mutual fund  designed to provide its  shareholders
with professional  management of short-term  investment  dollars. It is designed
for investors  who seek maximum  current  income  consistent  with  stability of
capital.  The Trust pools individual and institutional  investors' money that it
uses to buy  high  quality  money  market  instruments.  The  Trust  is a series
investment  company that is able to provide  investors with a choice of separate
investment  portfolios.  It  currently  offers two  investment  Portfolios:  the
Government  Securities  Portfolio  and the Treasury  Portfolio.  The  Government
Portfolio  currently  offers three classes of shares:  the Service  Shares,  the
Government  Securities  Managed Shares (the "Managed  Shares"),  and the Scudder
Government  Securities   Institutional  Shares  (the  "Institutional   Shares").
Institutional  and Managed  Shares are described  herein.  Because the Portfolio
combines  its  shareholders'  money,  it  can  buy  and  sell  large  blocks  of
securities,  which reduces  transaction costs and maximizes yields. The Trust is
managed by investment  professionals who analyze market trends to take advantage
of  changing  conditions  and who  seek to  minimize  risk by  diversifying  the
Portfolio's  investments.  The  Portfolio's  investments  are  subject  to price
fluctuations resulting from rising or declining interest rates and is subject to
the  ability of the issuers of such  investments  to make  payment at  maturity.
However, because of their short maturities,  liquidity and high quality ratings,
high quality  money  market  instruments,  such as those in which the  Portfolio
invests,  are generally  considered to be among the safest available.  Thus, the
Portfolio  is  designed  for  investors  who want to avoid the  fluctuations  of
principal commonly  associated with equity or long-term bond investments.  There
can be no guarantee  that the  Portfolio  will achieve its  objective or that it
will maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.



Government  Securities  Portfolio.  The 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 Fannie Mae 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,  Fannie Mae, Government National
Mortgage  Association  and  Export-Import  Credit Bank.  The  foregoing  list of
acceptable  entities  is  subject  to change by action of the  Trust's  Board of
Trustees;  however,  the Trust 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.

There can be no assurance that the Portfolio's objective can be met.

Repurchase  Agreements.  Repurchase  agreements are instruments  under which the
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

                                       2
<PAGE>

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,  the  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.  The Portfolio may enter
into repurchase agreements with any member bank of the Federal Reserve System or
any  domestic  broker/dealer  which  is  recognized  as a  reporting  Government
securities dealer, if the creditworthiness of the bank or broker/dealer has been
determined  by the  Adviser to be at least as high as that of other  obligations
the  portfolio  may  purchase  or to be at  least  equal to that of  issuers  of
commercial paper rated within the two highest grades assigned by Moody's, S&P or
Duff.  Currently,  the 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 Trust.

A repurchase agreement provides a means for the Portfolio to earn taxable income
on funds for periods as short as overnight. It is an arrangement under which the
purchaser  (i.e.,  the  Portfolio)  acquires a security  ("Obligation")  and the
seller agrees,  at the time of sale, to repurchase the Obligation at a specified
time and price.  Securities  subject  to a  repurchase  agreement  are held in a
segregated account,  and the value of such securities kept at least equal to the
repurchase  price on a daily basis.  The repurchase price may be higher than the
purchase price,  the difference  being income to the Portfolio,  or the purchase
and repurchase prices may be the same, with interest at a stated rate due to the
Portfolio  together  with the  repurchase  price on the date of  repurchase.  In
either case, the income to the Portfolio  (which is taxable) is unrelated to the
interest  rate  on the  Obligation  itself.  Obligations  will  be  held  by the
custodian or in the Federal Reserve Book Entry system.

For purposes of the 1940 Act, a repurchase agreement is deemed to be a loan from
the  Portfolio  to  the  seller  of the  Obligation  subject  to the  repurchase
agreement,  and is therefore subject to that Portfolio's  investment restriction
applicable  to  loans.  It is not  clear  whether  a court  would  consider  the
Obligation purchased by the Portfolio subject to a repurchase agreement as being
owned by the Portfolio or as being collateral for a loan by the Portfolio to the
seller. In the event of the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
with respect to the seller of the Obligation before repurchase of the Obligation
under a repurchase agreement,  the Portfolio may encounter delay and incur costs
before being able to sell the  security.  Delays may involve loss of interest or
decline in price of the Obligation.  If the court  characterized the transaction
as a loan and the Portfolio has not perfected an interest in the Obligation, the
Portfolio may be required to return the Obligation to the seller's estate and be
treated as an unsecured  creditor of the seller. As an unsecured  creditor,  the
Portfolio is at risk of losing some or all of the principal and income  involved
in the  transaction.  As with any unsecured  debt  obligation  purchased for the
Portfolio,  the Adviser  seeks to minimize the risk of loss  through  repurchase
agreements by analyzing the  creditworthiness  of the obligor,  in this case the
seller  of the  Obligation.  Apart  from the risk of  bankruptcy  or  insolvency
proceedings,  there is also the risk that the seller may fail to repurchase  the
Obligation,  in which case the Portfolio may incur a loss if the proceeds to the
Portfolio  of the sale to a third  party  are less  than the  repurchase  price.
However,  if the  market  value  of the  Obligation  subject  to the  repurchase
agreement  becomes less than the  repurchase  price  (including  interest),  the
Portfolio  will  direct  the  seller of the  Obligation  to  deliver  additional
securities so that the market value of all securities  subject to the repurchase
agreement  will equal or exceed the  repurchase  price.  It is possible that the
Portfolio will be  unsuccessful  in seeking to enforce the seller's  contractual
obligation to deliver additional securities.

The  Portfolio  will  not  purchase  illiquid  securities  including  repurchase
agreements  maturing in more than seven days if, as a result thereof,  more than
10% of the Portfolio's net assets valued at the time of the transaction would be
invested in such securities.

The 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

                                       3
<PAGE>

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. The Portfolio determines the maturity of Variable
Rate  Securities  in  accordance  with Rule 2a-7,  which allows the Portfolio to
consider  certain of such  instruments  as having  maturities  shorter  than the
maturity date on the face of the instrument.


INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

Investment Adviser. Scudder Kemper Investments,  Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Scudder
Kemper"),  345 Park Avenue,  New York, New York, is the  Portfolio's  investment
adviser.  The Adviser is approximately 70% owned by Zurich Insurance  Company, a
leading internationally  recognized provider of insurance and financial services
in  property/casualty  and life insurance,  reinsurance and structured financial
solutions as well as asset management. The balance of Scudder Kemper is owned by
Scudder Kemper's officers and employees.  Responsibility  for overall management
of the Portfolio rests with the Trust's Board of Trustees and officers. Pursuant
to an  investment  management  agreement,  the Adviser  acts as the  Portfolio's
investment adviser,  manages its investments,  administers its business affairs,
furnishes office facilities and equipment,  provides clerical and administrative
services  and  permits  any  of its  officers  or  employees  to  serve  without
compensation  as trustees or officers of the Trust if elected to such positions.
The  Portfolio  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 and  maintaining  all  accounting  records  related
thereto,  brokerage commissions or transaction costs, taxes,  registration fees,
the  fees  and  expenses  of  qualifying   the  Portfolio  and  its  shares  for
distribution  under federal and state securities laws and membership dues in the
Investment  Company  Institute  or any  similar  organization.  The  Portfolio's
expenses  generally  are  allocated  between the  Portfolios of the Trust 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  investment  management  agreement  provides  that the Adviser  shall not be
liable for any error of  judgment  or of law,  or for any loss  suffered  by the
Portfolio 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.

In certain  cases the  investments  for the  Portfolio  are  managed by the same
individuals  who manage one or more other  mutual  funds  advised by the Adviser
that have similar names, objectives and investment styles as the Portfolio.  You
should be aware that the  Portfolio  is likely to differ from these other mutual
funds in size, cash flow pattern and tax matters.  Accordingly, the holdings and
performance  of the  Portfolio  can be  expected to vary from those of the other
mutual funds.

The investment  management  agreement  continues in effect from year to year for
the Portfolio so long as its continuation is approved at least annually by (a) 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
Trust,  cast in person  at a meeting  called  for such  purpose,  and (b) by the
shareholders  of the Portfolio or the Board of Trustees.  If continuation is not
approved for the 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 1940 Act. It may be  terminated  at
any time upon 60 days'  notice by either  party,  or by a  majority  vote of the
outstanding  shares of the Portfolio  with respect to that  Portfolio,  and will
terminate automatically upon assignment.

At December 31, 1997, pursuant to the terms of an agreement,  Scudder, Stevens &
Clark, Inc. ("Scudder"),  and Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich"),  formed a new
global  organization by combining Scudder with Zurich Kemper  Investments,  Inc.
("ZKI"),  a former subsidiary of Zurich and the former investment manager to the
Portfolio and Scudder changed its name to Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc.

On September 7, 1998, the businesses of Zurich (including  Zurich's 70% interest
in the Adviser) and the financial services businesses of B.A.T Industries p.l.c.
("B.A.T")  were combined to form a new global  insurance and financial  services
company  known as Zurich  Financial  Services  Group.  By way of a dual  holding
company structure,  former

                                       4
<PAGE>

Zurich  shareholders  initially  owned  approximately  57% of  Zurich  Financial
Services Group, with the balance initially owned by former B.A.T shareholders.

Upon consummation of this transaction,  the Portfolio's then current  investment
management  agreement  with the  Adviser was deemed to have been  assigned  and,
therefore,  terminated. The Board approved a new investment management agreement
(the  "Agreement")  with the Adviser,  which is  substantially  identical to the
prior  investment  management  agreement,  except for the dates of execution and
termination.  The  Agreement  became  effective  on  September  7, 1998 upon the
termination  of the  then  current  investment  management  agreement,  and  was
approved at a shareholder meeting held in December 1998.



For  services  and  facilities  furnished,  the Trust pays a monthly  investment
management  fee of 1/12 of 0.15% of average  daily net assets of the  Government
Securities Portfolio and Treasury Portfolio (a separate portfolio of the Trust).
The investment  management  fee is computed based on the combined  average daily
net assets of the Portfolios and allocated between the Portfolios based upon the
relative net assets of each.  Pursuant to the investment  management  agreement,
the Trust incurred  investment  management  fees for the  Government  Securities
Portfolio  of  $535,000,  $342,000 and $320,000 for the fiscal years ended March
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  For this purpose,  "Portfolio operating
expenses" do not include  taxes,  interest,  extraordinary  expenses,  brokerage
commissions or transaction costs.  During the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999,
1998, 1997,  under expense limits then in effect,  the Adviser (or an affiliate)
absorbed  $308,000,  $294,000 and  $150,000,  respectively,  of the  Portfolio's
operating expenses. Scudder Kemper and certain affiliates have agreed, for a one
year period ending August 31, 2000, to cap expenses of the Managed Shares at the
same basis  point  levels as had  existed on the  Scudder  Fund,  Inc.-  Scudder
Government  Money Market Series Managed Shares in the month prior to that fund's
ceasing  of  operations.  Furthermore,  from  time to time  Scudder  Kemper  may
voluntarily waive a portion of its fee.


Certain  trustees or officers of the Trust are also directors or officers of the
Adviser and its affiliates as indicated under "Officers and Trustees."

Fund  Accounting  Agent.  Scudder  Fund  Accounting  Corporation  ("SFAC"),  Two
International Place,  Boston,  Massachusetts 02110, a subsidiary of the Adviser,
is  responsible  for  determining  the daily  net  asset  value per share of the
Portfolio and maintaining all accounting  records  related  thereto.  Currently,
SFAC  receives no fee for its  services to the  Portfolio;  however,  subject to
Board  approval,  at some  time in the  future,  SFAC may seek  payment  for its
services under this agreement.


Distributor  and  Administrator.  Pursuant to an underwriting  and  distribution
agreement  ("distribution  agreement"),  Kemper Distributors,  Inc. ("KDI"), 222
South  Riverside  Plaza,  Chicago,  Illinois 60606, an affiliate of the Adviser,
serves  as  distributor  and  principal  underwriter  for the  Trust to  provide
information   and  services  for  existing  and  potential   shareholders.   The
distribution  agreement provides that KDI shall appoint various firms to provide
cash management services for their customers or clients through the Trust.

As principal  underwriter  for the Trust,  KDI acts as agent of the Trust in the
sale of its  shares  of the  Portfolio.  KDI pays  all its  expenses  under  the
distribution  agreement.  The  Trust  pays  the  cost  for  the  prospectus  and
shareholder reports to be set in type and printed for existing shareholders, and
KDI pays for the printing and  distribution of copies thereof used in connection
with the  offering  of  shares  to  prospective  investors.  KDI  also  pays for
supplementary  sales  literature and advertising  costs. KDI has related selling
group  agreements  with  various  firms to  provide  distribution  services  for
Portfolio shareholders. KDI receives no compensation from the Trust as principal
underwriter  for the Shares and pays all expenses of  distribution of the Shares
not otherwise paid by dealers and other financial  services firms. KDI may, from
time to time, pay or allow discounts,  commissions or promotional incentives, in
the form of cash, to firms that sell Shares of the Portfolio.

The distribution agreement continues in effect from year to year so long as such
continuance  is approved at least annually by a vote of the Board of Trustees of
the Trust,  including the Trustees who are not  interested  persons of the Trust
and who have no direct or  indirect  financial  interest in the  agreement.  The
distribution agreement  automatically  terminates in the event of its assignment
and may be terminated at any time without penalty by the Trust or by KDI upon 60
days' written notice. Termination of the distribution agreement by the Trust may
be by

                                       5
<PAGE>

vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, or a majority of the Trustees
who are not  interested  persons of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect
financial  interest in the agreement,  or a "majority of the outstanding  voting
securities" of the Trust as defined under the 1940 Act.


Administrative  services  are  provided to the Managed  Shares of the  Portfolio
under an administration  services  agreement  ("administration  agreement") with
KDI.  KDI  bears  all  its  expenses  of  providing  services  pursuant  to  the
administration  agreement  between KDI and the Managed  Shares of the Portfolio,
including the payment of service fees. Managed Shares of the Portfolio currently
pay KDI an administrative services fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of up
to 0.15% of  average  daily  net  assets  attributable  to those  shares  of the
Portfolio.  In the  discretion  of the  Board  of  Trustees  of the  Trust,  the
administrative  services  fee may be  increased to a maximum of 0.25% of average
daily net assets.


KDI has entered into related  arrangements  with  various  banks,  broker-dealer
firms and other service or administrative  firms ("firms") that provide services
and  facilities  for their  customers  or clients who are  investors  in Managed
Shares of the  Portfolio.  The firms  provide such office  space and  equipment,
telephone  facilities  and personnel as is necessary or beneficial for providing
information  and services to their  clients.  Such services and  assistance  may
include,  but are not limited to,  establishing  and  maintaining  accounts  and
records,  processing  purchase and redemption  transactions,  answering  routine
inquiries  regarding the Portfolio,  assistance to clients in changing  dividend
and  investment  options,  account  designations  and  addresses  and such other
administrative services as may be agreed upon from time to time and permitted by
applicable statute, rule or regulation.  Currently, KDI pays each firm a service
fee,  normally payable monthly,  at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the average
daily net assets in the  Portfolio's  Managed Shares  accounts that it maintains
and services.  Firms to which service fees may be paid may include affiliates of
KDI.


In  addition,  KDI may from time to time,  from its own  resources,  pay certain
firms  additional  amounts for ongoing  administrative  services and  assistance
provided to their  customers  and clients  who are  shareholders  of the Managed
Shares of the Portfolio.


KDI also may provide  some of the above  services  and may retain any portion of
the fee  under  the  administration  agreement  not paid to firms to  compensate
itself for  administrative  functions  performed  for the Managed  Shares of the
Portfolio.


Custodian,  Transfer Agent and Shareholder  Service Agent. State Street Bank and
Trust Company  ("State  Street"),  225 Franklin  Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts
02110, as custodian,  has custody of all securities and cash of the Trust. State
Street  attends to the  collection of principal and income,  and payment for and
collection of proceeds of securities bought and sold by the Portfolio. Investors
Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC"), 801 Pennsylvania Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri
64105, is the transfer agent of the Portfolio.  Pursuant to a services agreement
with IFTC, Kemper Service Company ("KSvC"), an affiliate of the Adviser,  serves
as "Shareholder  Service Agent." 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, 1999 and 1998,  IFTC  remitted  shareholder  service fees in the
amount of $41,000 and $26,000,  respectively,  to the Shareholder  Service Agent
with respect to services provided to the Portfolio.

Firms  provide  varying  arrangements  for their  clients  with  respect  to the
purchase and redemption of Portfolio 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  below.  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  Portfolio  shares in
nominee  or street  name as agent for and on  behalf of their  clients.  In such
instances,  the Trust'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 Managed
Shares of the Portfolio 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

                                       6
<PAGE>

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 and this Statement
of Additional Information should be read in connection with such firm's material
regarding its fees and services.


Independent  Auditors  and  Reports To  Shareholders.  The  Trust's  independent
auditors,  Ernst & Young LLP, 233 South Wacker Drive,  Chicago,  Illinois 60606,
audit and report on the Trust's  annual  financial  statements,  review  certain
regulatory  reports and the Trust's federal income tax return, and perform other
professional accounting,  auditing, tax and advisory services when engaged to do
so by the Trust.  Shareholders will receive annual audited financial  statements
and semi-annual unaudited financial statements.

Legal Counsel.  Vedder,  Price,  Kaufman & Kammholz,  222 North LaSalle  Street,
Chicago, Illinois, 60601, serves as legal counsel for the Trust.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Brokerage

Allocation of brokerage is supervised by the Adviser.

The primary objective of the Adviser in placing orders for the purchase and sale
of  securities  for the  Portfolio is to obtain the most  favorable net results,
taking into account such factors as price, commission where applicable,  size of
order,   difficulty   of  execution   and  skill   required  of  the   executing
broker/dealer.  The Adviser  seeks to evaluate  the  overall  reasonableness  of
brokerage commissions paid (to the extent applicable) through the familiarity of
Scudder Investor Services,  Inc. ("SIS") with commissions  charged on comparable
transactions,  as well as by  comparing  commissions  paid by the  Portfolio  to
reported  commissions paid by others.  The Adviser routinely reviews  commission
rates,  execution  and  settlement  services  performed  and makes  internal and
external comparisons.

The  Portfolio's  purchases and sales of  fixed-income  securities are generally
placed by the Adviser with primary  market makers for these  securities on a net
basis,  with out any brokerage  commission being paid by the Portfolio.  Trading
does, however,  involve transaction costs.  Transactions with dealers serving as
primary  market  makers  reflect the spread  between  the bid and asked  prices.
Purchases of underwritten issues may be made, which will include an underwriting
fee paid to the underwriter.

When it can be done consistently with the policy of obtaining the most favorable
net  results,   it  is  the  Adviser's   practice  to  place  such  orders  with
broker/dealers  who supply brokerage and research services to the Adviser or the
Portfolio.  The term  "research  services"  includes  advice  as to the value of
securities;  the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities;
the  availability  of securities or  purchasers  or sellers of  securities;  and
analyses  and  reports  concerning  issuers,  industries,  securities,  economic
factors and trends,  portfolio  strategy and the  performance  of accounts.  The
Adviser is authorized when placing portfolio  transactions,  if applicable,  for
the  Portfolio  to pay a brokerage  commission  in excess of that which  another
broker might charge for executing the same  transaction  on account of execution
services  and the receipt of  research  services.  The  Adviser  has  negotiated
arrangements,  which are not applicable to most fixed-income transactions,  with
certain  broker/dealers  pursuant to which a broker/dealer will provide research
services to the Adviser or the  Portfolio in exchange  for the  direction by the
Adviser of  brokerage  transactions  to the  broker/dealer.  These  arrangements
regarding  receipt  of  research  services  generally  apply to equity  security
transactions.  The Adviser may place  orders with a  broker/dealer  on the basis
that the broker/dealer has or has not sold shares of the Portfolio. In effecting
transactions  in  over-the-counter  securities,   orders  are  placed  with  the
principal  market makers for the security being traded unless,  after exercising
care, it appears that more favorable results are available elsewhere.

To the  maximum  extent  feasible,  it is expected  that the Adviser  will place
orders for portfolio transactions through SIS, which is a corporation registered
as a  broker/dealer  and a subsidiary  of the Adviser;  SIS will place orders on
behalf of the Portfolio with issuers, underwriters or other brokers and dealers.
SIS  will  not  receive  any  commission,  fee or  other  remuneration  from the
Portfolio for this service.

                                       7
<PAGE>

Although  certain  research  services  from  broker/dealers  may be  useful to a
Portfolio  and to the  Adviser,  it is the  opinion  of the  Adviser  that  such
information  only  supplements  the  Adviser's  own  research  effort  since the
information  must still be  analyzed,  weighed,  and  reviewed by the  Adviser's
staff.  Such  information may be useful to the Adviser in providing  services to
clients  other than a  Portfolio,  and not all such  information  is used by the
Adviser in connection with a Portfolio. Conversely, such information provided to
the Adviser by  broker/dealers  through whom other clients of the Adviser effect
securities  transactions may be useful to the Adviser in providing services to a
Portfolio.

The Trustees review, from time to time, whether the recapture for the benefit of
the Portfolio of some portion of the brokerage  commissions or similar fees paid
by the Portfolio on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable.

Money  market  instruments  are normally  purchased  in  principal  transactions
directly from the issuer or from an underwriter  or market maker.  There usually
are no brokerage commissions paid by a Portfolio for such purchases.  During the
last three fiscal years each Portfolio paid no portfolio brokerage  commissions.
Purchases from  underwriters will include a commission or 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

Purchase of Shares


Shares of the  Portfolio  are sold at net asset value next  determined  after an
order  and  payment  are  received  in the  form  described  in the  prospectus.
Investors  must indicate the class of shares in the Portfolio in which they wish
to invest.  The Portfolio has established a minimum  initial  investment for the
Managed  Shares of  $100,000  and  $1,000  ($100  for IRAs) for each  subsequent
investment.  The minimal  initial  investment  for the  Institutional  Shares is
$1,000,000.  There is no minimum for each subsequent investment.  These minimums
may be changed at anytime in management's  discretion.  Firms offering Portfolio
shares may set higher  minimums  for  accounts  they service and may change such
minimums at their  discretion.  The Trust may waive the minimum for purchases by
trustees,  directors,  officers or employees of the Trust or the Adviser and its
affiliates.  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 Portfolio  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  Portfolio  seeks to remain as fully  invested  as  possible at all times in
order to achieve  maximum  income.  Since the  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
Portfolio has adopted  procedures for the convenience of its shareholders and to
ensure that the Portfolio receives investable funds. An investor wishing to open
an account should use the Account  Information  Form available from the Trust 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 Portfolio  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.


Orders for purchase of Managed Shares and Institutional  Shares of the 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 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time net asset
value  determination  for the Portfolio.  The Portfolio,  Shareholder  Servicing
Agent and Cash  Products  Group each  reserves  the right to reject any purchase
order.  The Portfolio will accept purchase  orders after 4:00 p.m.  eastern time
and before 5:00 p.m.  eastern  time,  but will reject  certain  purchase  orders
during this time period.  Orders received  between 4:00 p.m. and 5 p.m.  eastern
time will be accepted from existing  Portfolio  shareholders  only. In addition,
purchase  orders  received  after 4:00 p.m.  may be rejected  based upon maximum
limits set by the Portfolio as to purchases from a single investor and as to the
aggregate amount of purchases accepted after 4 p.m. on a given day.


                                       8
<PAGE>


Orders for purchase  accompanied by a check or other  negotiable bank draft will
be accepted and effected as of 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time on the next  business day
following  receipt  and such  Shares  will  receive  the  dividend  for the next
calendar  day  following  the day 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.

If payment is wired in Federal  Funds,  the payment should be directed to United
Missouri Bank of Kansas City,  N.A. (ABA  #101-000-695),  10th and Grand Avenue,
Kansas  City,  MO  64106  for  credit  to  appropriate  Portfolio  bank  account
(144:98-0120-0321-1  for the Institutional Shares and 244:98-0120-0321-1 for the
Managed Shares) and further credit to your account number.



Redemption of Shares

General.  Upon receipt by the Shareholder Service Agent of a request in the form
described  below,  shares of the Portfolio  will be redeemed by the Portfolio at
the next determined net asset value. If processed or prior to 4:00 p.m.  Eastern
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 the  Portfolio  will  receive  the net asset  value of such
shares and all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.

If shares of the  Portfolio  to be redeemed  were  purchased by check or through
certain Automated Clearing House ("ACH")  transactions,  the Portfolio 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 10 days
from receipt by the Portfolio of the purchase  amount.  Shareholders may not use
ACH or  Redemption  Checks (see  "Redemptions  by Draft") until the shares being
redeemed have been owned for at least 10 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.

The  Portfolio  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  the  Portfolio's
investments  is  not  reasonably  practicable,  or  (ii)  it is  not  reasonably
practicable  for the Portfolio 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 Portfolio's shareholders.

Although it is the Portfolio  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 Portfolio will
pay the redemption  price 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  Portfolio has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under
the 1940 Act,  pursuant to which the  Portfolio is obligated to redeem shares of
the  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.

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.  The
Portfolio or its agents may be liable for any losses,  expenses or costs arising
out  of  fraudulent  or  unauthorized   telephone  requests  pursuant  to  these
privileges,  unless the

                                       9
<PAGE>

Portfolio or its agents reasonably believe,  based upon reasonable  verification
procedures,  that the telephone  instructions are genuine.  The shareholder will
bear the risk of loss,  resulting from fraudulent or unauthorized  transactions,
as long as the reasonable verification procedures are followed. 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 Portfolio  reserves
the right to redeem an account  that falls below the minimum  investment  level.
Thus, a  shareholder  that 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
Portfolio redeems the shareholder account.

Financial  services  firms  provide  varying  arrangements  for their clients to
redeem  Portfolio  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  Portfolio's  transfer  agent,  the shareholder may redeem them by sending a
written  request with  signatures  guaranteed (if  applicable) 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.

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,  guardian and  custodian  account
holders,  provided the trustee,  executor  guardian or custodian is named in the
account  registration.  Other  institutional  account  holders 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 1-800-537-3177. Shares purchased by check or through certain ACH
transactions  may not be redeemed  under this  privilege of redeeming  shares by
telephone  request until such shares have been owned for at least 10 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  Portfolio  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 2:00 p.m. Eastern 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 1-800-337-3177 or in writing, subject to the
limitations on liability  described under "General"  above. The Portfolio is not
responsible  for the  efficiency  of the  federal  wire  system  or the  account
holder's  financial  services  firm or bank.  The Portfolio  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 contact the firm through which
shares of the Portfolio  were  purchased.  Shares  purchased by check or through
certain ACH  transactions  may not be redeemed by wire transfer until the shares
have been owned for at least 10 days. Account holders may not use this procedure
to redeem shares held in certificated

                                       10
<PAGE>

form.  During  periods when it is difficult to contact the  Shareholder  Service
Agent by  telephone,  it may be difficult  to use the  expedited  wire  transfer
redemption  privilege.  The Portfolio  reserves the right to terminate or modify
this privilege at any time.


Redemptions By Draft.  (Managed Shares Only) Upon request,  shareholders will be
provided  with  drafts to be drawn on  Portfolio  ("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  $1,000.  If the check is less than  $1,000 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  Portfolio  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 Portfolio 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  Portfolio
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
Portfolio.  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
Portfolio.


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  certain ACH  transactions  may not be redeemed by
Redemption  Check  until the shares  have been on the  Portfolio's  books for at
least 10 days.  Shareholders may not use this procedure to redeem shares held in
certificate  form. The Portfolio  reserves the right to terminate or modify this
privilege at any time.

The  Portfolio  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 Portfolio shares in excess of the value of the Portfolio account or in
an amount less than  $1,000;  when a Redemption  Check is  presented  that would
require  redemption  of  shares  that were  purchased  by check or  certain  ACH
transactions  within 10 days;  or when "stop  payment" of a Redemption  Check is
requested.

Special Features.  Certain firms that offer Shares of the Portfolio also provide
special redemption features through charge or debit cards and checks that redeem
Portfolio  Shares.  Various  firms have  different  charges for their  services.
Shareholders  should  obtain  information  from their  firm with  respect to any
special redemption  features,  applicable charges,  minimum balance requirements
and special rules of the cash management program being offered.

DIVIDENDS, TAXES AND NET ASSET VALUE

Dividends.  Dividends  are declared  daily and paid monthly.  Shareholders  will
receive  dividends  in  additional  shares  unless  they elect to receive  cash.
Dividends will be reinvested monthly in shares of the Portfolio at the net asset
value  normally on the last calendar of each month if a business day,  otherwise
on the next business day. The Portfolio will pay  shareholders  who redeem their
entire  accounts all unpaid  dividends at the time of the  redemption  not later
than the next dividend  payment date.  Upon written  request to the  Shareholder
Service Agent,  a shareholder  may elect to have  Portfolio  dividends  invested
without  sales  charge in shares of another  Kemper  Mutual Fund  offering  this
privilege at the net asset value of such other fund.  See  "Special  Features --
Exchange  Privilege"  for a list of such other Kemper Mutual Funds.  To use this
privilege of investing  Portfolio  dividends in of another  Kemper  Mutual Fund,
shareholders must maintain a minimum account value of $100,000 and 1,000,000 for
the Managed

                                       11
<PAGE>

and Institutional shares of this Portfolio, respectively, and also must maintain
a minimum account value of $100,000 and 1,000,000 in the corresponding shares of
the fund in which dividends are reinvested.

The Portfolio calculates its dividends based on its daily net investment income.
For this purpose,  the net  investment  income of the Portfolio  consists of (a)
accrued interest income plus or minus amortized  discount or premium,  excluding
market  discount for the Portfolio,  (b) plus or minus all  short-term  realized
gains and losses on investments and (c) minus accrued expenses  allocated to the
Portfolio. Expenses of the Portfolio are accrued each day. While the 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 the 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 reinvested monthly and
shareholders will receive monthly confirmations of dividends and of purchase and
redemption  transactions except that confirmations of dividend  reinvestment for
Individual  Retirement Accounts and other fiduciary accounts for which Investors
Fiduciary Trust Company acts as trustee will be sent quarterly.

If the shareholder  elects to 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").  The
Portfolio  reinvests  dividend  checks (and future  dividends)  in shares of the
Portfolio  if  checks  are  returned  as  undeliverable.   Dividends  and  other
distributions  in  the  aggregate  amount  of  $10  or  less  are  automatically
reinvested in shares of the Portfolio unless the shareholder  requests that such
policy not be applied to the shareholder's account.

Taxes.  The 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 the Portfolio do not qualify for the dividends
received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

If for any taxable year the Portfolio  does not qualify for the special  federal
income tax treatment afforded regulated investment companies, all of its taxable
income will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates (without
any deduction for distributions to its  shareholders).  In such event,  dividend
distributions  would  be  taxable  to  shareholders  to the  extent  of  current
accumulated  earnings  and  profits,  and would be  eligible  for the  dividends
received deduction, in the case of 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 Portfolio 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 the 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  Portfolio  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.

The  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  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


                                       12
<PAGE>

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
requirement.

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.

Net Asset Value.  As  described  in the  prospectus,  the  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  the  Portfolio  would  receive  if it sold the
instrument.  Calculations  are made to  compare  the  value  of the  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 the Portfolio's $1.00 per share net asset value, or if there were any
other  deviation  which the Board of Trustees of the Trust 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 the
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 Trust 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 the  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 Trust
might supplement dividends in an effort to maintain the net asset value at $1.00
per share.  Redemption orders received in connection with the  administration of
checkwriting programs by certain dealers or other financial services firms prior
to the determination of the Portfolio's net asset value also may be processed on
a confirmed basis in accordance with procedures established by KDI.


PERFORMANCE

From time to time,  the  Portfolio may  advertise  several types of  performance
information for the Portfolio,  including "yield" and "effective yield." Each of
these figures is based upon historical earnings and is not representative of the
future  performance of the Portfolio.  The yield of the 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  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
the 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.

                                       13
<PAGE>

The  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. The Portfolio may also advertise a
thirty-day  effective yield in which case the formula is (thirty-day base period
return +1)365/30 - 1.

Because the Managed  Shares and  Institutional  Shares of the  Portfolio are new
classes  of  shares,  there  is no  yield  information  as of the  date  of this
Statement of Additional Information.

The Portfolio's  yield  fluctuates,  and the publication of an annualized  yield
quotation is not a representation as to what an investment in the 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 the  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 the Portfolio with that of its  competitors.
Past performance cannot be a guarantee of future results.

The Portfolio may depict the  historical  performance of the securities in which
the Portfolio 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 Portfolio
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 Portfolio.

The  performance  of the Portfolio may be compared to that of other mutual funds
tracked by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper").  Lipper performance calculations include the
reinvestment of all capital gain and income dividends for the periods covered by
the  calculations.  The  Portfolio's  performance  also may be compared to other
money market funds reported by IBC Financial  Data, Inc. Money Fund Report(R) or
Money Market  Insight(R)  ("IBC Financial Data,  Inc."),  reporting  services on
money market funds.  As reported by IBC Financial  Data,  Inc.,  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.  In addition,  investors may
want to compare the Portfolio'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.

Investors also may want to compare the  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.  The  Portfolio's  yield will
fluctuate.  Also,  while the  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  Series,  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, Kemper U.S.  Mortgage Fund,  Kemper Value Series,  Inc., Kemper Value Plus
Growth Fund,  Kemper Horizon Fund, Kemper Europe Fund, Kemper Asian Growth Fund,
Kemper Aggressive Growth Fund, Kemper Global/International  Series, Inc., Kemper
U.S. Growth and Income Fund, Kemper Small Cap Relative Value Fund, Kemper-Dreman
Financial  Services Fund,  Kemper Value Fund, Kemper Classic Growth Fund, Kemper
Global  Discovery Fund,  Kemper High Yield Fund II, Kemper Equity Trust,  Kemper
Income Trust,  Kemper Funds Trust and Kemper  Securities  Trust ("Kemper  Mutual
Funds") and certain "Money Market Funds" (Zurich Money Funds,  Zurich  Yieldwise
Funds,  Cash  Equivalent  Fund,  Tax-Exempt  California  Money Market Fund, Cash
Account Trust,  Investors Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Cash Trust).  Shares
of Money  Market  Funds and Kemper  Cash  Reserves  Fund that were  acquired  by
purchase (not including shares acquired by dividend reinvestment) are subject to
the applicable sales charge on exchange. In addition, shares of a Kemper Fund in
excess of $1,000,000  (except Kemper Cash Reserves  Fund),  acquired by exchange
from another Fund may not be exchanged thereafter until they have been owned for
15 days (the  "15-Day  Hold  Policy").  In  addition  to the  current  limits on
exchanges of shares with a value over $1,000,000, shares of a Kemper fund with a
value of  $1,000,000  or less (except  Kemper Cash  Reserves  Fund)  acquired by
exchange  from  another  Kemper fund,  or from a money  market fund,  may not be
exchanged  thereafter  until  they  have  been  owned  for 15 days,  if,  in the
investment manager's judgement, the exchange activity may have an adverse effect
on the fund. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides with a "market
timing"  strategy  may be  disruptive  to the Kemper fund and  therefore  may be
subject to the 15-day  hold  policy.  For  purposes of  determining  whether the
15-Day Hold Policy applies to a particular exchange,  the value of the shares to
be  exchanged  shall be  computed  by  aggregating  the  value of  shares  being
exchanged for all accounts under common control, discretion or advice, including
without limitation  accounts  administered by a financial services firm offering
market timing,  asset  allocation or similar  services.  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,  Investors
Municipal  Cash Fund and Investors Cash Trust are available on exchange but only
through a financial  services firm having a services agreement with the KDI 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 the
portfolios  of Investors  Municipal  Cash Fund are available for sale in certain
states.

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 KDI.  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 1-800-537-3177 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.

Systematic  Withdrawal Program (Managed Shares Only). An owner of $5,000 or more
of the  Portfolio's  shares may provide for the payment from the owner's account
of any  requested  dollar  amount up to  $50,000  to be paid to the owner or the
owner's  designated payee monthly,  quarterly,  semi-annually  or annually.  The
$5,000 minimum account size is not applicable to Individual Retirement Accounts.
Dividend  distributions  will be reinvested  automatically at net asset value. A
sufficient  number of full and  fractional  shares  will be redeemed to make the
designated  payment.   Depending  upon  the  size  of  the  payments  requested,
redemptions  for the purpose of making such  payments may reduce or even exhaust
the account.  The program may be amended on thirty days notice by the  Portfolio
and may be terminated at any time by the  shareholder  or the  Portfolio.  Firms
provide varying arrangements for their clients to redeem shares of the Portfolio
on a periodic basis.  Such firms may independently  establish  minimums for such
services.

Tax-Sheltered  Retirement  Programs.  The  Shareholder  Service  Agent  provides
retirement plan services and documents and KDI can establish your account in any
of the following types of retirement plans:

          o    Individual  Retirement  Accounts  (IRAs)  trusteed  by  Investors
               Fiduciary  Trust  Company  ("IFTC").   This  includes  Simplified
               Employee Pension Plan (SEP) IRA accounts and prototype documents.

          o    403(b)  Custodial  Accounts also  trusteed by IFTC.  This type of
               plan is available to employees of most non-profit  organizations.

          o    Prototype money purchase pension and profit-sharing  plans may be
               adopted by employers. The maximum contribution per participant is
               the lesser of 25% of compensation or $30,000.

Brochures  describing the above plans as well as providing model defined benefit
plans,  target  benefit  plans,  457  plans,  401(k)  plans  and  materials  for
establishing them are available from the Shareholder Service Agent upon request.
The  brochures  for plans  trusteed by IFTC describe the current fees payable to
IFTC for its services as trustee.  Investors  should  consult with their own tax
advisers before establishing a retirement plan.

Electronic  Funds  Transfer  Programs.  For  your  convenience,  the  Trust  has
established  several  investment and redemption  programs using electronic funds
transfer via the Automated Clearing House (ACH). There is currently no charge by
the Trust for these programs. To use these features,  your financial institution
(your employer's  financial  institution in the case of payroll deposit) must be
affiliated with an Automated Clearing House (ACH). This ACH affiliation  permits
the Shareholder Service Agent to electronically transfer money between your bank
account,  or  employer's  payroll bank in the case of Direct  Deposit,  and your
account.  Your bank's crediting  policies of these  transferred  funds may vary.
These  features  may be  amended  or  terminated  at  any  time  by  the  Trust.
Shareholders  should  contact Kemper Service  Company at  1-800-621-1048  or the
financial  services firm through which their  account was  established  for more
information.  These  programs  may not be  available  through  some  firms  that
distribute shares of the Portfolios.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

The Trust is an open-end,  diversified management investment company,  organized
as a business trust under the laws of  Massachusetts on March 2, 1990. The Trust
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 Portfolio's  shares are currently  divided into
three classes:  Service Shares,  Managed Shares and Institutional  Shares. 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  Trust  offers  multiple
Portfolios,  it is known as a "series  company."  Shares of the  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.  The Trust is not  required  to hold  annual
shareholders'  meetings  and does not  intend  to do so.  However,  it will hold
special

                                       18
<PAGE>

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 Trust, 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 1940 Act,
such as for the election of trustees,  or when the Board of Trustees  determines
that voting by class is appropriate.

The Trust generally is not required to hold meetings of its shareholders.  Under
the Agreement and  Declaration of Trust of the Trust  ("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 1940 Act; (c) any  termination of the Trust 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 Trust or any  Portfolio,
establishing  the  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 Trust, or any registration of the Trust
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  Trust  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 Trust,  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
Trust 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 Trust 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  trust  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 Trust (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
Trust. The Declaration of Trust,  however,  disclaims  shareholder liability for
acts or obligations of the Trust and requires that notice of such  disclaimer be
given in each agreement,  obligation,  or instrument entered into or executed by
the Trust or the  trustees.  Moreover,  the  Declaration  of Trust  provides for
indemnification  out of  Trust  property  for all  losses  and  expenses  of any
shareholder  held  personally  liable for the  obligations  of the Trust and the
Trust 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 Trust itself is unable to meet its obligations.

Item 25.          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

                                       2
<PAGE>

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.

               Establishment and Designation of Classes of Shares
                             of Beneficial Interest
                               (The "Instrument")

         The  undersigned,  being a majority of the duly  elected and  qualified
Trustees of Investors Cash Trust, a Massachusetts  business trust (the "Trust"),
acting  pursuant to Article III,  Section 1 of the Agreement and  Declaration of
Trust dated  March 2, 1990,  as amended  (the  "Declaration  of Trust"),  hereby
further divide the authorized  and unissued  shares of beneficial  interest (the
"Shares") of the series of the Trust  heretofore  designated  as the  Government
Securities  Portfolio  (the "Fund") into the three classes  designated  below in
paragraph 1 (each a "Class" and collectively the "Classes"),  each Class to have
the special and relative rights specified in this Instrument:

         1. The Classes of the Fund shall be designated as follows:

            Service Shares
            Government Cash Managed Shares
            Scudder Government Cash Institutional Shares

         2. The Shares of the Fund  outstanding  as of the close of  business on
the date hereof are hereby redesignated as Service Shares.

         3. Each Share shall be redeemable, and, except as provided below, shall
represent  a pro rata  beneficial  interest in the assets  attributable  to such
Class of Shares of the Fund, and shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share
of net assets  attributable to such Class of Shares of the Fund upon liquidation
of the Fund,  all as provided in or not  inconsistent  with the  Declaration  of
Trust. Each Share shall have the voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights,
preferences,  powers,  restrictions,  limitations,   qualifications,  terms  and
conditions, as set forth in the Declaration of Trust.

         4. Upon the effective date of this Instrument:

               a.    Each Share of each Class of the Fund shall be  entitled  to
         one vote (or  fraction  thereof in respect  of a  fractional  share) on
         matters  which such  Shares (or Class of Shares)  shall be  entitled to
         vote.  Shareholders  of the Fund shall  vote  together  on any  matter,
         except to the extent otherwise  required by the Investment  Company Act
         of 1940,  as  amended  (the " 1940  Act"),  or when the  Trustees  have
         determined that the matter affects only the interest of Shareholders of
         one or more Classes,  in which case only the Shareholders of such Class
         or Classes  shall be  entitled  to vote  thereon.  Any matter  shall be
         deemed to have been effectively  acted upon with respect to the Fund if
         acted  upon as  provided  in  Rule  18f-2  under  the  1940  Act or any
         successor rule and in the Declaration of Trust.

               b.     Liabilities,  expenses,  costs,  charges or reserves  that
         should be properly allocated to the Shares of a particular Class of the
         Fund may,  pursuant to a Plan adopted by the Trustees  under Rule 18f-3
         under  the  1940  Act,  or such  similar  rule  under or  provision  or
<PAGE>

         interpretation  of the 1940 Act, be charged to and borne solely by such
         Class and the  bearing of  expenses  solely by a Class of Shares may be
         appropriately  reflected  and  cause  differences  in net  asset  value
         attributable  to, and the dividend,  redemption and liquidation  rights
         of, the Shares of different Classes.

         5. The Trustees (including any successor Trustees) shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to reallocate assets, liabilities and expenses
or to  change  the  designation  of any Class now or  hereafter  created,  or to
otherwise  change the special and  relative  rights of any such Class,  provided
that such change shall not adversely  affect the rights of  Shareholders of such
Class.

Executed this 28th day of September, 1999.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

INVESTORS  CASH TRUST (the  "Trust")  has been  established  as a  Massachusetts
business trust to engage in the business of an investment  company.  Pursuant to
the  Trust's   Declaration  of  Trust,   as  amended  from   time-to-time   (the
"Declaration"),  the Board of Trustees is authorized to issue the Trust's shares
of beneficial  interest (the "Shares"),  in separate series, or funds. The Board
of Trustees has authorized the Government  Securities Portfolio and the Treasury
Portfolio (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). Series may be abolished
and dissolved, and additional series established, from time to time by action of
the Trustees.

The Trust,  on behalf of the Funds,  has selected  you to act as the  investment
manager of the Funds and to provide  certain other  services,  as more fully set
forth  below,  and  you  have  indicated  that  you are  willing  to act as such
investment  manager and to perform such services  under the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth. In the event the Trust establishes one or more additional
series  with  respect to which it  desires to retain you to render the  services
described  hereunder,  it shall  notify you in  writing.  If you are  willing to
render such  services,  you shall  notify the Trust in writing,  whereupon  such
series shall become a fund  hereunder.  Accordingly,  the Trust on behalf of the
Funds agrees with you as follows:

1.  Delivery of  Documents.  The Trust  engages in the business of investing and
reinvesting  the assets of each Fund in the manner  and in  accordance  with the
investment  objectives,  policies and  restrictions  specified in the  currently
effective Prospectus (the "Prospectus") and Statement of Additional  Information
(the "SAI") relating to each Fund included in the Trust's Registration Statement
on Form N-1A, as amended from time to time, (the "Registration Statement") filed
by the Trust under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,  (the "1940
Act") and the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended.  Copies  of the  documents
referred to in the preceding  sentence have been  furnished to you by the Trust.
The Trust has also furnished you with copies properly certified or authenticated
of each of the  following  additional  documents  related  to the  Trust and the
Funds:

         (a)      The Declaration, as amended to date.

         (b)      By-Laws of the Trust as in effect on the date hereof (the "By-
                  Laws").

         (c)      Resolutions of the Trustees of the Trust and the  shareholders
                  of each Fund selecting you as investment manager and approving
                  the form of this Agreement.

         (d)      Establishment   and   Designation   of  Series  of  Shares  of
                  Beneficial Interest relating to the Funds, as applicable.

<PAGE>

The Trust will furnish you from time to time with copies,  properly certified or
authenticated,  of all amendments of or  supplements,  if any, to the foregoing,
including the Prospectus, the SAI and the Registration Statement.

2. Portfolio  Management  Services.  As manager of the assets of the Funds,  you
shall  provide  continuing  investment  management of the assets of the Funds in
accordance with the investment  objectives,  policies and restrictions set forth
in the  Prospectus  and SAI; the  applicable  provisions of the 1940 Act and the
Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,  (the "Code")  relating to regulated
investment  companies and all rules and  regulations  thereunder;  and all other
applicable  federal and state laws and  regulations of which you have knowledge;
subject  always to policies  and  instructions  adopted by the Trust's  Board of
Trustees.  In connection  therewith,  you shall use reasonable efforts to manage
each  Fund so that it will  qualify  as a  regulated  investment  company  under
Subchapter M of the Code and regulations issued thereunder. The Funds shall have
the  benefit of the  investment  analysis  and  research,  the review of current
economic  conditions and trends and the  consideration of long-range  investment
policy generally  available to your investment advisory clients. In managing the
Funds in accordance with the requirements set forth in this section 2, you shall
be entitled  to receive  and act upon advice of counsel to the Trust.  You shall
also make  available  to the  Trust  promptly  upon  request  all of the  Funds'
investment records and ledgers as are necessary to assist the Trust in complying
with the  requirements of the 1940 Act and other  applicable laws. To the extent
required  by law,  you  shall  furnish  to  regulatory  authorities  having  the
requisite  authority any  information or reports in connection with the services
provided pursuant to this Agreement which may be requested in order to ascertain
whether the operations of the Trust are being  conducted in a manner  consistent
with applicable laws and regulations.

You  shall  determine  the  securities,  instruments,  investments,  currencies,
repurchase  agreements,   futures,  options  and  other  contracts  relating  to
investments to be purchased,  sold or entered into by each Fund and place orders
with broker-dealers,  foreign currency dealers,  futures commission merchants or
others pursuant to your  determinations and all in accordance with Fund policies
as expressed in the Registration Statement.  You shall determine what portion of
each Fund's  portfolio shall be invested in securities and other assets and what
portion, if any, should be held uninvested.

You shall  furnish to the  Trust's  Board of  Trustees  periodic  reports on the
investment  performance of each Fund and on the performance of your  obligations
pursuant to this  Agreement,  and you shall supply such  additional  reports and
information  as the  Trust's  officers  or Board of  Trustees  shall  reasonably
request.

3.  Administrative  Services.  In addition to the portfolio  management services
specified  above in section 2, you shall  furnish at your expense for the use of
the Funds such office space and facilities in the United States as the Funds may
require for its  reasonable  needs,  and you (or one or more of your  affiliates
designated by you) shall render to the Trust  administrative  services on behalf
of the Funds  necessary for operating as an open end investment  company and not
provided by persons not parties to this Agreement including, but not limited to,

4. Allocation of Charges and Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided
in this section 4, you shall pay the  compensation and expenses of all Trustees,
officers and executive  employees of the Trust  (including  each Fund's share of
payroll taxes) who are affiliated  persons of you, and you shall make available,

individual  consent to serve and to any  limitations  imposed by law.  You shall
provide at your expense the portfolio management services described in section 2
hereof and the administrative services described in section 3 hereof.

You shall not be  required  to pay any  expenses  of the Funds  other than those
specifically  allocated  to you in this  section 4. In  particular,  but without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,  you shall not be responsible,  except
to the extent of the reasonable  compensation of such of the Funds' Trustees and
officers as are  directors,  officers or employees of you whose  services may be
involved, for the following expenses of each Fund: organization expenses of each

You shall not be required to pay  expenses of any  activity  which is  primarily
intended  to result in sales of Shares of a Fund if and to the  extent  that (i)
such expenses are required to be borne by a principal  underwriter which acts as
the distributor of a Fund's Shares  pursuant to an underwriting  agreement which
provides that the underwriter shall assume some or all of such expenses, or (ii)
the Trust on behalf of a Fund shall have adopted a plan in conformity  with Rule
12b-1  under the 1940 Act  providing  that a Fund (or some  other  party)  shall
assume  some or all of such  expenses.  You shall be required to pay such of the
foregoing  sales  expenses  as are not  required  to be  paid  by the  principal
underwriter  pursuant to the  underwriting  agreement or are not permitted to be
paid by a Fund (or some other party) pursuant to such a plan.

5.  Management  Fee. For all  services to be  rendered,  payments to be made and
costs to be assumed by you as provided in sections 2, 3, and 4 hereof, the Trust
on behalf of the Funds shall pay you in United States Dollars on

                                       3
<PAGE>

the last day of each  month the  unpaid  balance of a fee equal to the excess of
(a) 1/12 of .15 of 1 percent of the combined average daily net assets as defined
below of the Funds for such month; over (b) any compensation  waived by you from
time to time (as more fully described  below).  You shall be entitled to receive
during  any month  such  interim  payments  of your fee  hereunder  as you shall
request,  provided that no such payment shall exceed 75 percent of the amount of
your fee then accrued on the books of the Funds and unpaid.

The  "average  daily net  assets" of a Fund shall mean the average of the values
placed on a Fund's  net  assets as of 4:00 p.m.  (New York  time) on each day on
which  the net  asset  value  of the  Fund is  determined  consistent  with  the
provisions of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act or, if the Fund lawfully  determines
the value of its net assets as of some other time on each  business  day,  as of
such  time.  The value of the net assets of a Fund  shall  always be  determined
pursuant to the applicable  provisions of the Declaration  and the  Registration
Statement.  If the  determination of net asset value does not take place for any
particular  day,  then for the  purposes of this section 5, the value of the net
assets  of such Fund as last  determined  shall be deemed to be the value of its
net  assets as of 4:00 p.m.  (New York  time),  or as of such  other time as the
value of the net assets of the Fund's  portfolio  may be lawfully  determined on
that day. If a Fund determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio more
than once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on that day shall
be deemed to be the sole  determination  thereof on that day for the purposes of
this section 5.

You may waive all or a portion  of your fees  provided  for  hereunder  and such
waiver shall be treated as a reduction in purchase price of your  services.  You
shall be  contractually  bound hereunder by the terms of any publicly  announced
waiver of your fee, or any limitation of the Funds' expenses,  as if such waiver
or limitation were fully set forth herein.

6. Avoidance of  Inconsistent  Position;  Services Not Exclusive.  In connection
with purchases or sales of portfolio  securities and other  investments  for the
account  of the  Funds,  neither  you  nor any of your  directors,  officers  or
employees  shall act as a principal or agent or receive any  commission.  You or
your agent shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale
of  portfolio  securities  and other  investments  for each Fund's  account with
brokers or dealers selected by you in accordance with Fund policies as expressed
in the  Registration  Statement.  If any occasion should arise in which you give
any advice to clients of yours  concerning  the Shares of a Fund,  you shall act
solely as  investment  counsel for such  clients and not in any way on behalf of
such Fund.

Your services to the Funds pursuant to this Agreement are not to be deemed to be
exclusive and it is understood that you may render investment advice, management
and  services  to  others.  In  acting  under  this  Agreement,  you shall be an
independent contractor and not an agent of the Trust. Whenever a Fund and one or
more other accounts or investment  companies advised by you have available funds
for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each shall be allocated
in accordance  with  procedures  believed by you to be equitable to each entity.
Similarly,  opportunities  to sell  securities  shall be  allocated  in a manner
believed by you to be  equitable.  The Funds  recognize  that in some cases this
procedure may adversely  affect the size of the position that may be acquired or
disposed of for the Funds.

7. Limitation of Liability of Manager.  As an inducement to your  undertaking to
render services pursuant to this Agreement,  the Trust agrees that you shall not
be liable  under this  Agreement  for any error of judgment or mistake of law or
for any loss  suffered  by a Fund in  connection  with the matters to which this
Agreement  relates,  provided that nothing in this Agreement  shall be deemed to
protect or purport to protect you against any liability to the Trust,  the Funds
or their  shareholders  to which you would  otherwise  be  subject  by reason of
willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross  negligence in the performance of your
duties,  or by reason of your reckless  disregard of your obligations and duties
hereunder.

8. Duration and  Termination of This  Agreement.  This Agreement shall remain in
force  until  September  30,  1999,  and  continue  in force  from  year to year
thereafter  with respect to each Fund,  but only so long as such  continuance is
specifically  approved  for  each  Fund at least  annually  (a) by the vote of a
majority of the  Trustees who are not parties to this  Agreement  or  interested
persons of any party to this  Agreement,  cast in person at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by the Trustees of the Trust, or
by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund. The
aforesaid  requirement  that  continuance  of this

                                       4
<PAGE>

Agreement be  "specifically  approved at least annually" shall be construed in a
manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and
any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom.

This Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Fund at any time, without the
payment of any  penalty,  by the vote of a majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities  of such Fund or by the Trust's Board of Trustees on 60 days' written
notice to you, or by you on 60 days' written notice to the Trust. This Agreement
shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

This Agreement may be terminated  with respect to a Fund at any time without the
payment of any  penalty by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding  voting securities of such Fund in the event that it shall have been
established  by a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  that  you or any of  your
officers or  directors  has taken any action  which  results in a breach of your
covenants set forth herein.

9. Amendment of this  Agreement.  No provision of this Agreement may be changed,
waived,  discharged or terminated  orally,  but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination  is sought,  and no amendment of this  Agreement  shall be effective
until  approved  in a  manner  consistent  with  the  1940  Act  and  rules  and
regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom.

10.  Limitation  of  Liability  for Claims.  The  Declaration,  a copy of which,
together with all amendments  thereto, is on file in the Office of the Secretary
of the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts,  provides that the name "Investors Cash
Trust" refers to the Trustees under the Declaration collectively as Trustees and
not as individuals or personally, and that no shareholder of a Fund, or Trustee,
officer,  employee or agent of the Trust,  shall be subject to claims against or
obligations  of the Trust or of a Fund to any  extent  whatsoever,  but that the
Trust estate only shall be liable.

You are hereby  expressly  put on notice of the  limitation  of liability as set
forth in the Declaration and you agree that the obligations assumed by the Trust
on behalf of each Fund pursuant to this Agreement  shall be limited in all cases
to each Fund and its  assets,  and you shall not seek  satisfaction  of any such
obligation  from the  shareholders  or any  shareholder  of a Fund or any  other
series of the Trust,  or from any  Trustee,  officer,  employee  or agent of the
Trust.  You understand  that the rights and obligations of each Fund, or series,
under the  Declaration are separate and distinct from those of any and all other
series.

11.  Miscellaneous.  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.  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.

In interpreting the provisions of this Agreement,  the definitions  contained in
Section  2(a) of the 1940  Act  (particularly  the  definitions  of  "affiliated
person,"  "assignment" and "majority of the outstanding voting securities"),  as
from  time  to  time  amended,  shall  be  applied,  subject,  however,  to such
exemptions as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or order.

This  Agreement   shall  be  construed  in  accordance  with  the  laws  of  the
Commonwealth of  Massachusetts,  provided that nothing herein shall be construed
in a manner  inconsistent  with the 1940 Act, or in a manner which would cause a
Fund to fail to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.

This  Agreement  shall  supersede  all prior  investment  advisory or management
agreements entered into between you and the Trust on behalf of the Funds.

If you  are in  agreement  with  the  foregoing,  please  execute  the  form  of
acceptance  on the  accompanying  counterpart  of this  letter and  return  such
counterpart to the Trust,  whereupon this letter shall become a binding contract
effective as of the date of this Agreement.

                              SERVICE AGREEMENT


         AGREEMENT made as of the __ day of September, 1999, by and among
[Name], a [Form of entity] , with its principal offices at [Address] ("Service
Provider"), KEMPER SERVICE COMPANY, a Delaware corporation with its principal

management investment companies registered as such under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and listed on Schedule A hereto on
behalf of the designated classes of the designated series hereof, as applicable.

         WHEREAS the Transfer Agent serves as shareholder service agent,
dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with certain other matters and
KDI serves as administrator for purposes of providing information and
administrative services for each Fund listed on Schedule A hereto, as such
Schedule A may be amended from time to time with the mutual consent of the
parties hereto;

         WHEREAS Service Provider has been selected by certain customers
("Customers"), which include or propose to include as investment alternatives
certain Funds, to provide certain administrative and record keeping services as
agent for such plans;

         WHEREAS the services to be provided by Service Provider hereunder will
benefit the Funds by relieving them of the expense they would incur if such
services were to be provided by the Transfer Agent or its affiliates; and

         WHEREAS the services to be provided by Service Provider hereunder will
constitute administrative, record keeping, and shareholders services with
respect to the Customer accounts underlying the omnibus account Service Provider
maintains with the Transfer Agent (each such Customer account, an "Account," and
collectively, the "Accounts");

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.                Terms of Appointment; Duties of the Parties

         1.01 Service Provider. Except as provided specifically herein, Service
Provider shall not be, and shall not hold itself out as, an agent of the
Transfer Agent, KDI, or any Fund. Service Provider shall perform the following
functions on behalf of the Accounts, as an agent of its Customer, in accordance
with procedures established from time to time by agreement of the Transfer
Agent, KDI, and Service Provider, and subject to terms and conditions set forth
in each Fund's current prospectus.

                  (a) Receive from its Customers, by the close of regular
trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "Close of Trading") each business
day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business ("Business Day")
instructions for the purchase and redemption of shares (together,
"Instructions");


<PAGE>

                  (b) Based on Instructions received each Business Day, compute
net purchase requests or net redemption requests for shares for each Fund for
each Account (together, "Orders");

                  (c) Maintain adequate records related to, and advise KDI and
the Transfer Agent as to, the foregoing, as instructed by KDI and the Transfer
Agent. Service Provider agrees that such records maintained by it hereunder will
be preserved, maintained and made available in accordance with applicable law
and regulations, and copies or, if required, originals will be surrendered
promptly to KDI or the Transfer Agent on and in accordance with its request.
Records surrendered hereunder shall be in machine readable form, except to the
extent that Service Provider has maintained such records only in paper form.
This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         1.02 Equipment. Service Provider shall maintain adequate offices,
personnel and computer and other equipment to perform the services contemplated
by this Agreement. Service Provider shall notify KDI and the Transfer Agent
promptly in the event that it becomes unable for any reason to perform the
services contemplated by, or any other of its obligations under, this Agreement.
Service Provider shall maintain or provide for redundant facilities and shall
maintain or provide for backup files of its records maintained hereunder and
shall store such back-up files in a secure off-premises location, so that, in
the event of a power failure or other interruption of whatever cause at the
location of its records, Service Provider's records are maintained intact and
transactions can be processed at another location.

         1.03 Insurance. Service Provider shall maintain at all times general
liability and other insurance coverage, including errors and omissions coverage,
that is reasonable and customary in light of its duties hereunder, with limits
of not less than $5 million. Service Provider shall maintain at all times a
fidelity bond covering Service Provider and its employees and agents, with a
limit of not less than $5 million. Such insurance coverage and such fidelity
bond shall be issued by a qualified insurance carrier with a Best's rating of at
least "A" or with the highest rating of a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, no
provision of this Agreement shall relieve an insurer of any obligation to pay to
any Fund, KDI, the Transfer Agent or any affiliate of the Transfer Agent,
Service Provider, or any other insured party any claim that would be a covered
claim in the absence of any provision hereof.

         1.04 Disclosure. To the extent required by law or applicable regulatory
authority, Service Provider shall take all steps necessary to ensure that the
arrangements provided for in this Agreement are properly disclosed to any
Customer or Account that is governed by the Employment Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

         1.05 Transmission of Information to Service Provider. In accordance
with procedures established from time to time by agreement of the Transfer Agent
and Service Provider, the Transfer Agent shall transmit to Service Provider the
following information for each Fund, as received by the Transfer Agent from
third parties: (a) net asset value information as of the Close of Trading each
Business Day; (b) dividend and capital gains distribution information, as it
arises; and (c) daily accrual for dividend rate factor (mil rate) information
with respect to Funds which declare dividends daily.

                                       2
<PAGE>


         1.06 Transmission of Information to Transfer Agent. Service Provider
shall, in accordance with procedures established from time to time by agreement
of the Transfer Agent and Service Provider, and subject to terms and conditions
set forth in each Fund's current prospectus:

                  (a) Base orders to the Transfer Agent solely on Instructions
received by Service Provider from its Customers, by the Close of Trading each
Business Day. Instructions received by Service Provider after the Close of
Trading on any Business Day shall be treated as received on the next Business
Day.

                  (b) Employ its best efforts to communicate Orders to the
Transfer Agent so that the Transfer Agent receives Orders no later than 9:00 PM
Boston time each Business Day that the Instructions on which such Orders are
based are received by Service Provider from a Customer before the Close of
Trading. If, however, despite its best efforts, Service Provider is unable to
communicate Orders to the Transfer Agent by such time on any Business Day,
Service Provider in any case shall communicate such Orders to the Transfer Agent
by no later than 9:00 AM Boston time the following Business Day. Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Transfer Agent hereby
appoints Service Provider to act as, and Service Provider agrees to act as,
agent for the Funds for the sole purpose of receiving, on a Business Day,
requests for the purchase and redemption for the moment in time immediately
prior to the Close of Trading, and communicating to the Transfer Agent after the
close of trading on that Business Day such requests for the purchase and
redemption of the authorized and issued shares purchased, held or redeemed by a
Customer, and the Business Day on which Instructions are received by Service
Provider immediately prior to the Close of Trading will be the Business Day as
of which Orders will be deemed received by the Transfer Agent as a result of
such Instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless trades on a confirmed
basis are permitted by the Fund's current prospectus, trades will be effective
at the next determined net asset value after the order is received by the
Transfer Agent and, in the case of a purchase, payment is received in the form
of federal funds.

                  (c) Promptly deliver appropriate documentation and in the case
of purchase requests, payment therefor to the Transfer Agent.

         1.07 Representations Regarding Shares. Any representation made by
Service Provider regarding any Fund shall be in its capacity as agent for its
Customer and not in its capacity as agent of the Funds. Service Provider shall
make no representation in any capacity regarding any Fund except as set forth in
such Fund's current prospectus or current sales literature furnished by such
Fund, by KDI, or by the Transfer Agent.

         1.08 Confidentiality of Information. The parties hereto agree that all
books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of any other
party which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the
carrying out of this Agreement shall be kept confidential and shall not be
voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except as may be required by law.
This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         1.09 Compliance with Law. Service Provider shall comply with all
federal and state laws and regulations thereunder in connection with its
responsibilities under this Agreement.

                                       3
<PAGE>


         1.10 Administrative Services. Service Provider shall perform the
administrative and record keeping services (the "Administrative Services")
described in Schedule B hereto, as such Schedule B may be amended from time to
time with the mutual consent of the parties hereto, with respect to shares
purchased, held or redeemed by an Account. Except as provided specifically in
Section 1.06 hereof, Service Provider shall perform the Administrative Services
as an independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of KDI, the
Transfer Agent or any Fund. Service Provider shall perform the Administrative
Services in accordance with procedures established from time to time by
agreement of KDI, the Transfer Agent, and Service Provider, and subject to terms
and conditions set forth in each Fund's current prospectus.

         1.11 No Impairment of Authority. No provision of this Agreement shall
limit in any way the authority of any Fund or of KDI to take such action as it
deems appropriate in connection with matters relating to the operation of such
Fund and the sale of its shares.

         1.12 Authority of Service Provider. Service Provider acknowledges that
it is not authorized by any Fund to register the transfer of any Fund's shares
or to transfer record ownership of any Fund's shares, and that only the Transfer
Agent is authorized to perform such activities.

2.       Compensation

         2.01 Service Provider's Expenses. Service Provider shall bear all
expenses arising out of the performance of the Administrative Services and of
the performance of functions related to the Accounts. Service Provider shall not
receive from the Transfer Agent (or from any affiliate of the Transfer Agent),
from KDI, or from any Fund any monetary compensation or reimbursement for such
expenses.

         2.02 Transfer Agent's and Fund Expenses. The Transfer Agent, KDI, and
each Fund shall bear all expenses of its own hereunder and shall not receive
from Service Provider any monetary compensation or reimbursement for such
expenses.

         2.03 Administrative Fees. In consideration of Service Provider's
performance of the Administrative Services, each Fund and KDI shall pay to

                                                                 Exhibit (h)(10)

                ADMINISTRATION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES AGREEMENT
                     SERIES: GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
                      CLASS: GOVERNMENT CASH MANAGED SHARES


         AGREEMENT made this day __ of September, 1999, by and between INVESTORS
CASH TRUST, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Fund"), and KEMPER
DISTRIBUTORS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("KDI").

         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 KDI to act as administrator for the series
and class of the Fund referred to above (the "Class") to provide information and
administrative services for the benefit of the Class and its shareholders. In
this regard, KDI shall appoint various broker-dealer firms and other financial
services firms ("Firms") to provide administrative services for their clients
through the Fund. Their 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 Class and to assist the Fund's
shareholder service agent in servicing accounts of the Firm's clients who own
shares of the Class ("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 Class shares of client account cash balances, answering routine options,
account designations and addresses, and such other services as the Fund or KDI
may reasonably request. KDI may also provide some of the above services for the
Class directly.

         KDI 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. KDI 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. KDI, by separate agreement with
the Fund, may also serve the Fund in other capacities. The services of KDI to
the Fund under this Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and KDI shall be
free to render similar services or other services to others.

         As noted above, in carrying out its duties and responsibilities
hereunder, KDI will appoint various Firms to provide administrative and other
services described herein directly to or for the benefit of shareholders of the
Class who may be clients of such Firms. Such Firms shall at all times be deemed
to be independent contractors retained by KDI and not the Fund. KDI and not the
Fund will be responsible for the payment compensation to such Firms for such
services.

         2. For the services and facilities described in Section 1, the Fund
will pay to KDI, as an expense of the Class, at the end of each calendar month
an administrative services fee computed at an annual rate of up to 0.25 of 1% of
the average daily net assets of the Class. The current fee schedule is set forth
on Appendix I hereto. For the month and year in which this

<PAGE>

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 the Class 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 the Class 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 KDI under this Agreement.

4. This Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any
penalty by the Fund or by KDI on sixty (60) days written notice to the other
party. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of KDI 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 KDI for recovery of that portion of the administrative
services fees (or any other liability of the Fund arising hereunder) related to
a particular series and class of the Fund, whether in accordance with the
express terms hereof or otherwise, KDI shall have recourse solely against the
assets of such series and class to satisfy such claim and shall have no recourse
against the assets of any other series and class of the Fund 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.

Investors Cash Trust

Chicago, Illinois  60606

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Reference  is  made  to   Post-Effective   Amendment   No.  14  to  the
Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 being filed
by Investors Cash Trust (the "Fund") in connection with the public offering from
time to time of  units of  beneficial  interest,  no par  value  ("Shares"),  in
Government Securities Portfolio (the "Portfolio").  The Portfolio has designated
two new classes of Shares as follows:  Scudder Cash Insitutional Shares and Cash
Managed Shares.

         We have acted as counsel to the Fund, and in such capacity are familiar
with the Fund's organization and have counseled the Fund regarding various legal
matters. We have examined such Fund records and other documents and certificates
as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
In our  examination of such  materials,  we have assumed the  genuineness of all
signatures and the conformity to original  documents of all copies  submitted to
us.

         Based upon the  foregoing  and  assuming  that the Fund's  Amended  and
Restated  Agreement and  Declaration of Trust dated March 9, 1990, as amended by
the Written  Instrument  Amending the Agreement and  Declaration  of Trust dated
August 14, 1990, and the  Establishment  and Designation of Classes of Shares of
Beneficial Interest dated September 28, 1999 and the By-Laws of the Fund adopted
March 17, 1990, are presently in full force and effect and have not been amended
in any respect except as provided in the above-referenced documents and that the
resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund on March 2, 1990, March
17,  1990,  July 30, 1991 and  September  28, 1999,  relating to  organizational
matters,  securities  matters and the  issuance of shares are  presently in full
force and effect and have not been  amended  in any  respect,  we advise you and
opine  that  (a) the  Fund is a  validly  existing  voluntary  association  with
transferrable  shares under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is
authorized  to issue an  unlimited  number of Shares in the  Portfolio;  and (b)
presently and upon such further  issuance of the Shares in  accordance  with the
Fund's  Agreement  and  Declaration  of Trust and the  receipt  by the Fund of a
purchase  price  not less  than  the net  asset  value  per  Share  and when the
pertinent  provisions  of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and such  "blue-sky"  and
securities  laws as may be applicable have been complied with, and assuming that
the Fund continues to validly exist as provided in (a) above, the Shares are and
will be legally issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.

         The Fund is an entity of the type  commonly  known as a  "Massachusetts
business trust." Under  Massachusetts  law,  shareholders  could,  under certain
circumstances,  be held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund or the
Portfolio. However, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability  for acts and  obligations  of the Fund or the  Portfolio and requires
that

<PAGE>

VEDDER PRICE


notice of such  disclaimer be given in each note,  bond,  contract,  instrument,
certificate  share or undertaking  made or issued by the Trustees or officers of
the Fund. The Agreement and  Declaration  of Trust provides for  indemnification
out of the property of the Portfolio for all loss and expense of any shareholder
of that Portfolio held personally  liable for the obligations of such Portfolio.
Thus, the risk of liability is limited to  circumstances  in which the Portfolio
would be unable to meet its obligations.

         This opinion is solely for the benefit of the Fund, the Fund's Board of
Trustees and the Fund's  officers and may not be relied upon by any other person
without our prior written consent.  We hereby consent to the use of this opinion
in connection with said Post-Effective Amendment.

                                   Very truly yours,


                                   VEDDER, PRICE, KAUFMAN & KAMMHOLZ

                         CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


We consent to the reference to our firm under the caption "Independent  Auditors
and Reports to Shareholders"  and to the use of our report dated May 18, 1999 in
the  Registration  Statement of Investors Cash Trust on Form N-1A filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in this Post-Effective Amendment No.14 to the
Registration  Statement  under the Securities Act of 1933 (File 33-34645) and in
this Amendment No. 16 to the Registration Statement under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (File No. 811-6103).

Chicago, Illinois
November 8, 1999

                                                                     Exhibit (o)

                         GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
                                       OF
                              INVESTORS CASH TRUST
                         MULTI-DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PLAN

         WHEREAS, Investors Cash Trust (the "Fund"), which is adopting this
Multi-Distribution System Plan on behalf of its Government Securities Portfolio
(the "Portfolio"), is an open-end management investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act");

         WHEREAS, Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. serves as investment adviser
and Kemper Distributors, Inc. serves as principal underwriter for the Fund;

         WHEREAS, the Portfolio currently has a single class of shares;

         WHEREAS, the Fund desires to establish a Multi-Distribution System
enabling the Fund, as more fully reflected in its prospectus, to offer investors
the option of purchase shares of the Portfolio (a) with an Administrative
Services Fee of not more than 0.10% of average daily net assets, to be purchased
primarily by institutional investors through financial intermediaries not
otherwise affiliated with the Fund ("Service Shares"); (b) with an
Administrative Services Fee of not more than 0.25% of average daily net assets,
to be purchased primarily through financial intermediaries and which requires a
larger minimum investment ("Government Cash Managed Shares"); or (c) with no
Administrative Services Fee or Rule 12b-1 distribution fee, to be purchased
primarily by institutions ("Scudder Government Cash Institutional Shares"); and

         WHEREAS, Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act permits open-end management
investment companies to issue multiple classes of voting stock representing
interests in the same portfolio notwithstanding Sections 18(f)(1) and 18(i)
under the 1940 Act if, among other things, such investment companies adopt a
written plan setting forth the separate arrangement and expense allocation of
each class and any related conversion features or exchange privileges;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Fund, wishing to be governed by Rule 18f-3 under
the 1940 Act, hereby adopts this Multi-Distribution System Plan on behalf of
Government Securities Portfolio as follows:

       1.   Each class of shares will represent interests in the same portfolio
of investments of the Portfolio, and be identical in all respects to each other
class, except as set forth below. The only differences among the various classes
of shares of the Portfolio will relate solely to: (a) different distribution fee
payments associated with any Rule 12b-1 Plan for a particular class of shares
and any other costs relating to implementing or amending such Rule 12b-1 Plan
(including obtaining shareholder approval of such Rule 12b-1 Plan or any
amendment thereto), which will be borne solely by shareholders of such classes;
(b) different service fees; (c) different Administrative Service Fees or
shareholder servicing fees; (d) different class expenses, which will be limited
to the following expenses determined by the Fund board to be attributable to a
specific class of shares: (i) printing and postage expenses related to preparing
and distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses, and proxy
statements to current shareholders of a specific class; (ii) Securities and
Exchange Commission registration fees incurred by a
<PAGE>

specific class; (iii) litigation or other legal expenses relating to a specific
class; (iv) board member fees or expenses incurred as a result of issues
relating to a specific class; and (v) accounting expenses relating to a specific
class; (e) the voting rights related to any Rule 12b-1 Plan affecting a specific
class of shares; (f) conversion features; (g) exchange privileges; and (h) class
names or designations. Any additional incremental expenses not specifically
identified above that are subsequently identified and determined to be properly
applied to one class of shares of the Portfolio shall be so applied upon
approval by a majority of the members of the Fund's board, including a majority
of the board members who are not interested persons of the Fund.

       2.   Under the Multi-Distribution System, certain expenses may be
attributable to the Fund, but not to a particular series or class thereof. All
such expenses will be borne by each class on the basis of the relative aggregate
net assets of the classes, except that, if the Fund has series, expenses will
first be allocated among series, based upon their relative aggregate net assets.
Expenses that are attributable to a particular series, but not to a particular
class thereof, will be borne by each class of that series on the basis of the
relative aggregate net assets of the classes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
underwriter, the investment manager or other provider of services to the Fund
may waive or reimburse the expenses of a specific class or classes to the extent
permitted under Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act.

       A class of shares may be permitted to bear expenses that are directly
attributable to that class including: (a) any distribution fees associated with
any Rule 12b-1 Plan for a particular class and any other costs relating to
implementing or amending such Rule 12b-1 Plan (including obtaining shareholder
approval of such Rule 12b-1 Plan or any amendment thereto); (b) any service fees
attributable to such class; (c) any Administrative Service Fees or shareholder
servicing fees attributable to such class; and (d) any class expenses determined
by the Fund board to be attributable to such class.

       3.   Dividends paid by the Fund as to each class of its shares, to the
extent any dividends are paid, will be calculated in the same manner, at the
same time, on the same day, and will be in the same amount; except that any
distribution fees, service fees, Administrative Service Fees, shareholder
servicing fees and class expenses allocated to a class will be borne exclusively
by that class.

       4.   All material amendments to this Plan must be approved by a majority
of the members of the Fund's board, including a majority of the board members
who are not interested persons of the Fund.


For use on or after:  September 28, 1999
