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.
- 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.
- 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:
- plan to hold your investment for several years,
- can tolerate fluctuations in share price,
- have or plan to have other investments for the benefit
of diversification, and
- understand the risks of stock market investing.
