   Zurich  Insurance  Company  ("Zurich"),  which is the majority  owner of each
   Fund's  investment  manager,  Scudder  Kemper  Investments,   Inc.  ("Scudder
   Kemper"),  has combined its businesses with the financial services businesses
   of B.A.T Industries p.l.c. ("B.A.T"). The resulting company, Zurich Financial
   Services ("Zurich Financial  Services"),  has become Zurich's parent company.
   As a result of the Zurich-B.A.T transaction, the former shareholders of B.A.T
   indirectly own a 43% interest in Zurich through a new holding company, Allied
   Zurich p.l.c. This change in ownership of Zurich may be deemed to have caused
   a "change in  control"  of  Scudder  Kemper,  even  though  Scudder  Kemper's
   operations will not change as a result.  The Investment  Company Act of 1940,
   which regulates  investment  companies such as your Fund,  requires that fund
   shareholders approve a new investment  management agreement whenever there is
   a  change  in  control  of a  fund's  investment  manager  (even  in the most
   technical sense).  Although this transaction will have virtually no effect on
   the  operations  of Scudder  Kemper or the Funds,  each  Fund's  shareholders
   approved a new  investment  management  agreement for the Fund to assure that
   there is no interruption in the services Scudder Kemper provides to the Fund.
   A special  meeting of shareholders  (the "special  meeting") of each Fund was
   held on December 15, 1998 (December 17, 1998 for Scudder Classic Growth Fund,
   Scudder  Value Fund and Scudder  Global  Discovery  Fund),  at which time the
   shareholders  approved the new  investment  management  agreements.  Each new
   investment  management agreement (each an "Investment  Management  Agreement"
   and, collectively, the "Investment Management Agreements") is effective as of
   September  7, 1998 and will be in effect  for an initial  term  ending on the
   same  date  as  would  the  corresponding   previous  investment   management
   agreement.

   Each Fund's Investment Management Agreement is substantially identical to the
   corresponding previous investment management agreement,  except for the dates
   of execution and termination  and, in the case of certain funds, the addition
   of certain breakpoints in fee structures.

   Each  Fund's  fundamental  lending  policy  has  been  amended  by a vote  of
   shareholders at the special meeting.  As a matter of fundamental policy, each
   Fund may not:

    o  make loans except as permitted under the Investment  Company Act of 1940,
       as amended,  and as  interpreted  or modified by  regulatory  authority
       having jurisdiction, from time to time.

   In addition, Scudder S&P 500 Index Fund has amended its fundamental borrowing
   policy  by a vote of  shareholders  at the  special  meeting.  As a matter of
   fundamental policy, the Fund may not:

     o borrow money,  except as permitted  under the  Investment  Company Act of
       1940,  as  amended,  and  as  interpreted  or  modified  by  regulatory
       authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.
