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.
4. For Whom Is This Fund Appropriate?
You may wish to consider this Fund if you are seeking capital growth and:
o plan to hold your investment for several years,
o can tolerate fluctuations in share price,
o have or plan to have other investments for the benefit of
diversification, and
o understand the risks of stock market investing.
