                                    In Brief

Scudder  Growth  and  Income  Fund  provided  a total  return  of 8.86%  for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1996, roughly in keeping with the average of the
527 growth and  income  funds  tracked  by Lipper  Analytical  Services  and the
unmanaged S&P 500 Index. For the trailing 12 months, the Fund returned 23.78%, a
return well above the historic  norm for stocks  generally and above the average
of its peer group.

The  six-month  period  covered by this report was one of generally  rising U.S.
stock prices.  However,  during the period sector leadership  rotated and stocks
began to display a much higher degree of volatility.

The overall tilt of the portfolio this year has been in favor of cyclical stocks
at the expense of more defensive  issues,  as our relative yield  valuation work
continues to point to certain  stocks as  historically  undervalued  and already
reflecting recession fears.

                        Letter From the Fund's President




Dear Shareholders,

     We are  pleased  to  present  the newly  redesigned  semiannual  report for
Scudder Growth and Income Fund. The new format,  which is being implemented on a
test basis with select Scudder funds, is designed to enhance the  attractiveness
and readability of the reports. Let us know what you think.

     In this era of  electronic  information  we have  also  taken a look at our
abbreviated  quarterly  reports,  which you generally  receive  during the month
after the end of your fund's first and third  fiscal  quarters.  Going  forward,
these printed reports will be  discontinued,  and portfolio  information will be
made  available on a more timely  basis -- each month,  in most cases -- through
Scudder's Web site, Scudder's automated  information line (SAIL), and by calling
Investor Relations.

     As detailed in the management discussion which follows, the Fund provided a
solid total return of 8.86% for the  six-month  period ended June 30, 1996.  For
the one-year  period ending June 30, the Fund's return was a gratifying  23.78%,
reflecting in large part a period of generally rising U.S. stock prices.

     While domestic  equity returns in the aggregate have been positive over the
first half of 1996,  stock prices have become much more volatile in the last few
months.  Investors have reacted strongly to any earnings disappointments or sign
of accelerating  growth which might lead to higher inflation.  We do not believe
that  inflation  will  accelerate to any  meaningful  degree in the near term. A
pause in the bull market or even a correction  would not be a surprise,  but the
long-term outlook for investors in our view is constructive.  While past results
of course do not guarantee  success  going  forward,  Scudder  Growth and Income
Fund,  with its emphasis on high income and relative  value in stock  selection,
has historically performed well in difficult and less buoyant markets.

     Thank you for your continued  investment in Scudder Growth and Income Fund,
and please do not hesitate to call Investor Relations at 1-800-225-2470 with any
questions about your account.

     Sincerely,

     /s/Daniel Pierce

     President,

                         Portfolio Management Discussion

Dear Shareholders,

Scudder  Growth  and  Income  Fund  provided  a total  return  of 8.86%  for the
six-month  period  ended June 30,  1996,  as  compared  to 9.24% for the average
growth and income  fund  tracked by Lipper  Analytical  Services  and the 10.10%
return of the  unmanaged  S&P 500 Index.  For the  trailing 12 months,  the Fund
returned  23.78%  versus 22.13% for the average of its peer group and 26.00% for
the Index.

Long-term relative  performance  remains strong, as the Fund's total returns for
the trailing  three-,  five- and ten-year periods have all exceeded those of its
Lipper average.

                                 Stocks Display
                              Increased Volatility

The  six-month  period  covered by this report was one of generally  rising U.S.
stock  prices.  Even in the face of a declining  bond  market,  fears of Federal
Reserve interest rate hikes, and increasingly  higher stock values,  the S&P 500
Index  provided a return of more than 10%.  However,  during  the period  sector
leadership  gyrated  and  stocks  began  to  display  a much  higher  degree  of
volatility.

This new environment  was  precipitated  by  stronger-than-anticipated  February
employment  figures  which led to a 171 point  drop in the Dow Jones  Industrial
Average on March 8.  Leadership  for the remainder of the first quarter  rotated
away from sectors perceived as resilient in the face of weak growth and consumer
spending, such as health, food, tobacco, and energy. Instead,  sentiment shifted
towards  cyclical groups that should respond  positively to a stronger  economy,
including retail,  manufacturing,  and durables.  Such cyclical groups became an
area of  increasing  focus for  Scudder  Growth and  Income  Fund,  which  added
exposure to such sectors as auto/auto  parts and  paper/forest  products,  while
maintaining its overweight position in chemicals.

Another  significant shift in sentiment occurred around the middle of the second
quarter,  as  consumer  staples  and  growth  stocks  came  roaring  back to the
forefront.  Technology  stocks  had an  extremely  strong  showing  early in the
quarter,  only to give  some  gains  back in June.  The  Fund's  focus on larger
companies and high relative yields resulted in modest  underperformance over the
second half of the period, as smaller  capitalization stocks outperformed larger
ones and growth stocks outperformed value.

Consumer staples stocks were large positive  contributors to the Fund's absolute
return,  but our  selections  lagged the returns of the sector  primarily due to
investments in cereal manufacturers,  which declined in June following virtually
industry-wide  price cutting.  Additionally,  our increased exposure to cyclical
stocks,  which  significantly  benefited the portfolio through April, acted as a
drag on performance later in the second quarter. Specifically, the Fund's paper,
chemical,  and durable goods stocks (e.g. Boise Cascade, Dow Chemical,  and Ford
Motor) largely  underperformed the market, and our overweight positions in these
groups therefore hurt performance. Finally, the resumption of the dramatic rally
of  technology  stocks  during  the  second  quarter  detracted  from the Fund's
relative performance:  the Fund will typically have negligible representation in
this sector since high relative yields are rare among high-tech stocks.

The  Fund's  healthcare  position  benefited  from the  market's  shift  back to
defensive  "growth"  stocks midway through the second  quarter,  led by Bausch &
Lomb as well as  several  outperforming  pharmaceutical  stocks.  Also among the
strong  performers  were the Fund's oil  stocks,  which  rallied  along with oil


                       6 - SCUDDER GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
<PAGE>

prices when the UN sanctioned the resumption of Iraqi oil sales after a two-year
hiatus.  Performance of holdings in this sector was led by international stocks,
which had lagged for much of last year. For example,  Elf Aquitaine,  Total, and
YPF all posted returns exceeding those of most of their U.S. peers.

The portfolio's largest sector,  financial,  posted mixed results. While most of
our bank stocks  underperformed  the market in the face of rising interest rates
and credit quality  concerns,  real estate  investment  trusts (REITs) performed
well,  including  Developers  Diversified,  Health  Care  Property,  and  Equity
Residential.  We raised  portfolio  exposure  to REITs last  quarter  when their
already  historically high yield spreads versus Treasuries  essentially signaled
that  these  stocks  had  little  downside  risk  even in the event of a rise in
interest rates.
                               Portfolio Strategy


Despite, or perhaps because of, the rotational nature of the market, we have not
made great strategic  shifts in the portfolio over the period.  Rather,  we have
continued to  incrementally  employ some of the  strategies  we initiated in the
first quarter of 1996.  The overall tilt of the portfolio  this year has been in
favor of cyclical  stocks at the expense of more  defensive  issues.  While this
strategy  might  appear to be  inconsistent  with the view that the economy will
enter a  slowdown  within the next  year,  our  relative  yield  valuation  work
continues  to point to  certain  cyclically  leveraged  stocks  as  historically
undervalued and already reflecting recession fears. By contrast,  groups such as
healthcare  and  consumer  staples  are  discounting  a fairly  high  degree  of
optimism.  New or increased portfolio positions in cyclicals include Ford Motor,
heavy duty truck manufacturer  PACCAR,  paper/forest product stocks Weyerhaeuser
and Westvaco, and metals companies Phelps Dodge and Allegheny Ludlum.

We have also continued to look for opportunities in consumer  cyclicals,  namely
in  retail-oriented  stocks.  Valuations in this group have looked appealing for
some time, given the sector's dismal underperformance in 1994 and 1995. While we
were correct in identifying  these stocks as opportunities  for 1996, we did not
increase our exposure quite as quickly as we would have liked.  We sold Melville
on price  strength  after their  final  restructuring  announcement,  as well as
Intimate Brands,  which was, after a rocky start, a very successful  short- term
holding  which became  fully-valued  in our view.  In turn, we added to existing
holdings May Department  Stores and Sears.  We also  established a position in K
Mart, via its new convertible  preferred issue,  which offered an attractive way
for us to participate in this refinanced company with completely new (and highly
motivated)  management.  At the  end of  June,  the  total  "cyclical"  exposure
(including consumer and industrial cyclicals)  represented  approximately 34% of
the portfolio, up from 28% at the beginning of the year.

Profit taking in many of the  non-economically  sensitive  consumer stocks which
have done well for the  portfolio  over the past year or more  funded  the shift
into cyclicals.  In the pharmaceutical sector, for example,  stocks have in many
cases doubled off their 1994 lows, and we have taken  opportunities  provided by
price strength to pare holdings in that group.  Now that the fears of healthcare
reform have largely  dissipated,  and many of these companies have embarked on a
new  wave  of  industry  consolidation  and  restructuring,  their  stocks  have
dramatically  outperformed  the market.  Since the  beginning  of the year,  the


                       7 - SCUDDER GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
<PAGE>

portfolio's total healthcare  weighting has been cut by 2 1/2 percentage points,
standing now at about 12% of equities.

We also took profits in several  strong-performing  consumer staples stocks such
as Avon,  Colgate,  and Clorox,  and redeployed  proceeds into more attractively
valued stocks in the same sector. These include Duracell, whose stock has fallen
on  hard  times  as  investors  question  the  sustainability  of the  company's
historical  growth  rate;  Unilever,  the  Anglo-Dutch   conglomerate  which  is
undergoing a restructuring and management reshuffle;  and Tambrands, an existing
holding to which we added  after the stock  declined  almost 20% from its second
quarter high following an earnings shortfall.  We have moderately  increased the
Fund's  overall  weighting  in tobacco  stocks,  reflecting  our belief that the
stocks are too heavily  discounting the well-known  litigation risk  surrounding
the industry.

                                  Looking Ahead

Over  the near  term,  we do not  envision  any  radical  shifts  in the  Fund's
composition. While equity volatility could continue to increase -- the trend has
been up for the past six  quarters  -- as  investors  are faced  with  seemingly
contradictory  economic  data,  we will not attempt to outguess  the market with
tactical adjustments to the portfolio. One of the benefits of our relative yield
discipline is that it keeps us  continually  focused on a certain  subset of the
market,  enabling  us not to be  derailed by the  never-ending  distractions  of
economic and market "noise." Our analysis of late has shown  compelling value in
only a few areas (e.g. REIT's, retailers and paper/forest products), and we have
increased  the Fund's  commitment  to such groups.  As we have seen in the past,
such moves may not always reward the Fund immediately. In the meantime, however,
investors are "paid to wait" while such stocks provide an  above-average  yield,
and  their  low  valuations   mitigate  downside  risk  in  a  volatile  market.
Historically,  the Fund's focus on yield and value has helped performance during
difficult equity markets.

We believe Scudder Growth and Income Fund, with its systematic approach to stock
selection,  is positioned to provide  competitive  performance over time despite
changing  market  environments.  Thank you for your continued  investment in the
Fund.

Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

(a)  The Adviser did not impose a portion of its management fee amounting to
     $.02 per share for the year ended December 31, 1992. If all expenses,
     including the management fee not imposed, had been incurred by the Fund,
     the annualized ratio of expenses to average net assets for such year would
     have been 1.08% and the total return would have been lower. This ratio
     includes costs associated with the acquisition of certain assets of Niagara
     Share Corporation on July 27, 1992; exclusive of these charges the ratio
     would have been .92%.
(b)  Effective January 1, 1993, the Fund discontinued using equalization
     accounting.
(c)  Average commission rate paid per share of common and preferred stocks is
     calculated for fiscal years beginning on or after September 1, 1995.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                       A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Scudder Growth and Income Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Scudder
Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts
business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's
financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
principles which require the use of management estimates. The policies described
below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial
statements.

SECURITY VALUATION. Portfolio securities which are traded on U.S. or foreign
stock exchanges are valued at the most recent sale price reported on the
exchange on which the security is traded most extensively. If no sale occurred,
the security is then valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid
and asked quotations. If there are no such bid and asked quotations, the most
recent bid quotation is used. Securities quoted on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation ("NASDAQ") System, for which there have
been sales, are valued at the most recent sale price reported on such system. If
there are no such sales, the value is the high or "inside" bid quotation.
Securities which are not quoted on the NASDAQ System but are traded in another
over-the-counter market are valued at the most recent sale price on such market.
If no sale occurred, the security is then valued at the calculated mean between
the most recent bid and asked quotations. If there are no such bid and asked
quotations, the most recent bid quotation shall be used.

Portfolio debt securities with remaining maturities greater than sixty days are
valued by pricing agents approved by the officers of the Fund, which quotations
reflect broker/dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing
techniques. If the pricing agents are unable to provide such quotations, the
most recent bid quotation supplied by a bona fide market maker shall be used.
Short-term investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost.

All other securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees. Securities valued in good
faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees at fair value amounted
to $34,074,833 (.96% of net assets) and have been noted in the investment
portfolio as of June 30, 1996.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian,
receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time
of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at
such a level that the market value, depending on the maturity of the repurchase
agreement, is equal to at least 100.5% of the resale price.

SECURITY LENDING. The Fund may seek to increase its income by lending portfolio
securities. Such loans may be made through the Fund's authorized agent to
registered broker/dealers and are required to be collateralized by cash in an
amount at least equal to the market value plus accrued interest of the
securities loaned. The collateral is invested, and a negotiated percentage of
the interest earned is remitted to the Fund. This income is included as a
component of interest income. At June 30, 1996, the Fund loaned securities with
an aggregate market value of $242,237,991 which represents 6.8% of total net
assets.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Fund may not purchase restricted securities (for
these purposes, restricted security means a security which cannot be sold to the
public without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or the availability
of an exemption from registration, or which is subject to other legal or
contractual delays in or restrictions on resale), if, as a result thereof, more
than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets would be invested in restricted
securities. The aggregate fair value of restricted securities at June 30, 1996,
amounted to $34,074,833 which represents 0.96% of net assets.

<PAGE>


FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS. The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars
on the following basis:

     (i)  market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at
          the daily rates of exchange, and

     (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest
          income and certain expenses at the daily rates of exchange prevailing
          on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments which
is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in
market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net
realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related
transactions includes gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the sales of foreign
currency, and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends,
interest, and foreign withholding taxes.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code which are applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund
accordingly paid no federal income taxes and no provision for federal income
taxes was required.

DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS. Distributions of net investment income are
made quarterly. During any particular year, net realized gains from investment
transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be
taxable to the Fund if not distributed and, therefore, will be distributed to
shareholders. An additional distribution may be made to the extent necessary to
avoid the payment of a four percent federal excise tax.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains
distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
differences relate primarily to non-taxable distributions and certain securities
sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income and net realized gain (loss)
on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from
distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make
reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the
net asset value of the Fund.

The Fund uses the specific identified cost method for determining realized gain
or loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting
purposes.

OTHER. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.


                      B. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES


For the six months ended June 30, 1996, purchases and sales of investment
securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $721,937,404 and
$417,211,967, respectively.

Celebrating  Over 75 Years of Serving  Investors  

Established in 1919 by Theodore  Scudder,  Sidney  Stevens,  and F. Haven Clark,
Scudder,  Stevens & Clark was the first independent  investment  counsel firm in
the United States.  Since its birth,  Scudder's pioneering spirit and commitment
to professional long-term investment management have helped shape the investment
industry.  In 1928, we introduced the nation's first no-load mutual fund.  Today
we offer 40 pure no load(TM)  funds,  including the first  international  mutual
fund offered to U.S.  investors.  

Over the years, Scudder's global investment perspective and dedication to
research and fundamental investment disciplines have helped us become one of the
largest and most respected investment managers in the world. Though times have
changed since our beginnings, we remain committed to our long-standing
principles: managing money with integrity and distinction; keeping the interests
of our clients first; providing access to investments and markets that may not
be easily available to individuals; and making investing as simple and
convenient as possible through friendly, comprehensive service.

This information must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

Portfolio  changes  should  not be  considered  recommendations  for  action  by
individual investors.
