Scudder Value Fund


   1. What Is The Fund's Objective?


                      Scudder Value Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

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

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

   2. What Does The Fund Invest In?


                      The Fund  invests  in stocks  that  Scudder  believes  are
                      undervalued  and have the  potential  to increase in value
                      over time.


                      o  At least  80% of the  Fund's  assets  are  invested  in
                         common stocks,  preferred  stocks,  and securities that
                         may be  converted  into common  stocks.  While the Fund
                         focuses on the stocks of medium- and  large-sized  U.S.
                         companies,  the stocks of similar foreign companies may
                         also be considered.


                      o  Scudder's value approach to stock investing begins with
                         extensive     analysis    of     securities     through
                         technologically-supported   proprietary  research.  The
                         Fund seeks to identify those stocks that in the opinion
                         of  Scudder:  1) are  undervalued  in  the  marketplace
                         relative to expected  future earnings and dividends and
                         2)  present  attractive  valuations  relative  to other
                         securities.

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

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

   3. What Are The Risks Of Investing In The Fund?


                      Investment  in  undervalued  stocks  carries the risk that
                      their  prices  may  not  rise  to a  level  reflective  of
                      Scudder's valuation.  In addition,  movements of the stock
                      market will affect the Fund's share price,  which may vary
                      from day to day.  Other risk factors are that the value of
                      your investment may decline as a result of declines in the
                      overall stock market or in the types of securities held in
                      the Fund,  and that in rising  markets the types of stocks
                      emphasized  in Scudder Value Fund may  underperform  other
                      sectors of the stock market.

                      capital growth and:

                      o  can tolerate fluctuations in share price,

   5. What Are The Fund's Expenses And Fees?


                      There are two kinds of  expenses  that a  shareholder  may
                      incur,  directly or  indirectly,  by investing in a mutual
                      fund.  These types of expenses,  as they relate to Scudder
                      Value Fund, are:

 Shareholder transaction expenses -- fees charged         Annual Fund operating expenses
 directly to your account for various transactions.       (after expense maintenance) --
                                                          fees  paid by the Fund  before  it  distributes  its net
                                                          investment  income,  expressed  as a  percentage  of the
                                                          Fund's  average daily net assets.  Figures below are for
 Sales Commission                        None             the fiscal year ended  September 30, 1994,  during which
                                                          Scudder maintained the total annualized  expenses of the
 Commissions to Reinvest                                  Fund  at not  more  than  1.25%  of  average  daily  net
   Dividends                             None             assets.  Had  Scudder not done so,  expenses  would have
                                                          amounted to 1.61%,  including 0.70% for management fees.
 Redemption Fee                          None             Scudder will continue  this expense maintenance until 
                                                          January 31, 1996.
 Exchange Fee                            None

                                                          Investment management fee              0.34%

                                                          12b-1 fees                             None

                                                          Other expenses                         0.91%

                                                          Total Fund operating expenses          1.25%
 



 Example:  Assuming a 5% annual return and                One Year                                 $13
 redemption atthe end of each period,  the 
 total expenses  relating to                              Three Years                              $40
 a $1,000 investment would be:
                                                          Five Years                               $69

                                                          Ten Years                               $151

</TABLE>


                      This example  assumes  reinvestment  of all  dividends and
                      distributions  and that the total Fund operating  expenses
                      listed  above  remain  the same each  year.  This  example
                      should  not be  considered  a  representation  of  past or
                      future expenses or return. Actual Fund expenses and return
                      vary from  year to year and may be  higher  or lower  than
                      those shown. Please note that there is a $5 service fee if
                      you request redemption proceeds via wire.
