The Fund may also invest in  Standard & Poor's  Depository  Receipts  ("SPDRs").

results that  generally  correspond  to the price and yield  performance  of the
component common stocks of the S&P 500 Index.

Euro Conversion

The planned  introduction  of a new European  currency,  the Euro, may result in
uncertainties  for  European  securities  in the markets in which they trade and
with respect to the operation of each Fund.  Currently,  the Euro is expected to
be introduced on January 1, 1999 by eleven  European  countries that are members
of the European  Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The introduction of the Euro
will require the  redenomination  of European debt and equity  securities over a
period of time, which may result in various  accounting  differences  and/or tax
treatments  that  otherwise  would not likely  occur.  Additional  questions are
raised by the fact that certain other EMU members, including the United Kingdom,
will  not  officially  be  implementing  the Euro on  January  1,  1999.  If the
introduction of the Euro does not take place as planned, there could be negative
effects, such as severe currency fluctuations and market disruptions.

Scudder Kemper  Investments,  Inc., the Fund's Adviser,  is actively  working to
address Euro-related issues and understands that other key service providers are
taking similar steps.  At this time,  however,  no one knows  precisely what the
degree of impact  will be. To the extent  that the market  impact or effect on a
portfolio holding is negative, it could hurt the portfolio's performance.
