Scudder Latin America Fund

Supplement to Prospectus
dated March 1, 1995

The  following   text  replaces  the  section
entitled    "Transaction    information    --
Exchanging and redeeming shares."

Exchanging and redeeming shares

Upon the  redemption  or  exchange  of shares
held  less  than a  year,  a fee of 2% of the
lower of the cost or the  current  net  asset
value  of the  shares  will be  assessed  and
retained  by the Fund for the  benefit of the
remaining shareholders. The fee is waived for
all   shares   purchased    through   certain
retirement  plans,  including  401(k)  plans,
403(b) plans, 457 plans, Keogh accounts,  and
Profit  Sharing  and Money  Purchase  Pension
Plans.  However,  this  fee  waiver  does not
apply to IRA and SEP-IRA  accounts.  This fee
is intended to encourage long-term investment
in the Fund, to avoid  transaction  and other
expenses caused by early redemptions,  and to
facilitate portfolio  management.  The fee is
not  a  deferred  sales  charge,   is  not  a
commission   paid  to  the   Adviser  or  its
subsidiaries,   and  does  not   benefit  the
Adviser  in any way.  The Fund  reserves  the
right to  modify  the  terms of or  terminate
this  fee at any  time.  The fee  applies  to
redemptions  from the Fund and  exchanges  to
other Scudder  funds,  but not to dividend or
capital gains  distributions  which have been
automatically reinvested in the Fund. The fee
is applied to the shares  being  redeemed  or
exchanged  in the  order in which  they  were
purchased. See "Exchanges and Redemptions" in
the   Fund's    Statement    of    Additional
Information  for a more detailed  description
of the redemption fee.

is not part of the  prospectus  supplement on

                           Scudder Latin America Fund
      Supplement to Statement of Additional Information dated March 1, 1995

         The  following  text  replaces  the  section  entitled  "EXCHANGES  AND
REDEMPTIONS  -- Special  Redemption and Exchange  Information  for Scudder Latin
America Fund."

         In general,  shares of Latin  America Fund may be exchanged or redeemed
at net asset value. However,  shares of the Fund held for less than one year are
redeemable  at a price equal to the greater of 98% of the then current net asset
value per share or such higher  percentage  of current net asset value per share
that  represents the then current net asset value minus an amount equal to 2% of
the cost of the shares. This 2% discount, referred to in the prospectus and this
statement of additional  information as a redemption fee,  directly  affects the
amount a  shareholder  who is subject to the discount  receives upon exchange or
redemption.  It is intended to encourage  long-term  investment  in the Fund, to
avoid  transaction  and  other  expenses  caused  by  early  redemptions  and to
facilitate portfolio management.  The fee is not a deferred sales charge, is not
a commission paid to the Adviser or its  subsidiaries,  and does not benefit the
Adviser  in any way.  The Fund  reserves  the  right to  modify  the terms of or
terminate this fee at any time.

         The  redemption  fee will not be applied to (a) a redemption  of shares
held in certain  retirement  plans,  including  401(k) plans,  403(b) plans, 457
plans,  Keogh  accounts,  and profit  sharing and money  purchase  pension plans
(however,  this fee waiver  does not apply to IRA and SEP-IRA  accounts),  (b) a
redemption  of any shares of the Fund  outstanding  for one year or more,  (c) a
redemption  of  reinvestment   shares  (i.e.,   shares  purchased   through  the
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains  distributions  paid by the Fund), or
(d) a redemption  of shares by the Fund upon  exercise of its right to liquidate
accounts (i) falling  below the minimum  account  size by reason of  shareholder
redemptions   or  (ii)  when  the   shareholder   has  failed  to  provide   tax
identification  information.  For this purpose and without  regard to the shares
actually  redeemed,  shares will be redeemed  as  follows:  first,  reinvestment
shares;  second,  purchased  shares held one year or more; and third,  purchased
shares  held for less than one year.  Finally,  if a  shareholder  enters into a
transaction  in Fund shares which,  although it may  technically be treated as a
redemption  and  purchase  for  recordkeeping  purposes,  does not  involve  the
termination  of economic  interest in the Fund, no redemption fee will apply and
applicability  of the redemption  fee, if any, on any  subsequent  redemption or
exchange will be determined by reference to the date the shares were  originally
purchased, and not the date of the transaction.
