DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
INVESTORS MUNICIPAL CASH FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are pleased to provide you with the Investors Municipal Cash Fund
annual report for the year ended March 31, 1998. The Investors
Municipal Cash Fund series includes Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund,
Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash
Fund and Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund.
Your fund's management greatly appreciates your decision to invest in Investors
Municipal Cash Fund. During the past year the Fund registered solid performance
and achieved its objective of providing maximum current income exempt from
Federal, and where applicable, state income taxes, while maintaining stability
of principal.
ECONOMIC REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Strong economic indicators prove that the U.S. economy's growth is still
surprisingly robust. Inflation has disappeared from the economy for the second
time in three months in March and is down for the first quarter of 1998;
consumer spending is high, unemployment is low and GDP growth continues to
remain strong with an outlook of at least a 3.5% growth rate this quarter.
Inflation is expected to accelerate later this year, but still be relatively
moderate.
Under these conditions, Investors Municipal Cash Fund should offer the
opportunity for attractive yields and should continue to be an excellent place
to invest your money.
Your fund's management thanks you for the confidence you have shown through your
investment and continues its dedication to performance. We look forward to
serving your investment needs for years to come.
Sincerely,
Frank J. Rachwalski

Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund commenced operations on April 6, 1998.
An investment in a fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, and there can be no assurance that a fund will be able to maintain a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
Each fund's net yield for the year ended March 31, 1998, is the annualized sum
of the daily dividend rates for the period. Yields are historical and may not
represent future yields, which will fluctuate.
For Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, the tax-equivalent yield is based
upon the fund's yield and a 43.5% combined Federal, State of New York and New
York City marginal income tax rate. For Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash
Fund, the tax-equivalent yield is based upon the fund's yield and a 38.9%
combined Federal and State of Pennsylvania marginal income tax rate. Investors
Florida Municipal Cash Fund's tax-equivalent yield is based upon the fund's
yield and a 37.1% Federal income tax rate. For Investors New Jersey Municipal
Cash Fund, the tax-equivalent yield is based upon the fund's yield and a 41.1%
combined Federal and State of New Jersey marginal income tax rate. Income may be
subject to local taxes and for some investors, the alternative minimum tax for
all funds.
The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only
through the end of the period of the report as stated above. The manager's views
are subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
Investors Municipal Cash Fund (the Trust) is an open-end management investment
company organized as a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts currently
offering four series of shares. The Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund,
Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash
Fund and Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund (the Funds) invest in
short-term high quality municipal securities.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. In
the event that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more exists between a Fund's $1.00
per share net asset value, calculated at amortized cost, and the net asset value
calculated by reference to market-based values, or if there is any other
deviation that the Board of Trustees believes would result in a material
dilution to shareholders or purchasers, the Board of Trustees will promptly
consider what action should be initiated.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to
buy or sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and
includes amortization of premium on investments.
EXPENSES
Expenses arising in connection with a Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other
Trust expenses are allocated among the Funds in proportion to their relative net
assets.
FUND SHARE VALUATION AND DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuous basis at net asset value. On
each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, each Fund
determines its net asset value per share at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Chicago
time by dividing the total value of the Fund's investments and other assets,
less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Each Fund declares a
daily dividend, equal to its net investment income for that day, payable
monthly. Net investment income consists of all interest income, plus (minus) all
realized gains (losses) on portfolio securities, minus all expenses of the Fund.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Each Fund has complied with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
available to investment companies and therefore no federal income tax provision
is required.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT MANAGER COMBINATION
Effective December 31, 1997, Zurich Insurance Company, the parent of Zurich
Kemper Investments, Inc. (ZKI), acquired a majority interest in Scudder, Stevens
& Clark, Inc. (Scudder), another major investment manager. As a result of this
transaction, the operations of ZKI were combined with Scudder to form a new
global investment organization named Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. (Scudder
Kemper). The transaction resulted in the termination of the Funds' investment
management agreement with ZKI, however, a new investment management agreement
between the Funds and Scudder Kemper was approved by the Funds' Board of
Trustees and by the Funds' shareholders. The new management agreement, which was
effective December 31, 1997, is the same in all material respects as the
previous management agreement, except that Scudder Kemper is the new investment
adviser to the Funds. In addition, the names of the Funds' principal underwriter
and shareholder service agent were changed to Kemper Distributors, Inc. (KDI)
and Kemper Service Company (KSvC), respectively.
