Investment Management Agreement
Kemper Small Capitalization Equity Fund
Ladies and Gentlemen:
KEMPER SMALL CAPITALIZATION EQUITY FUND (the "Trust") has been
established as a Massachusetts business Trust to engage in the
business of an investment company. Pursuant to the Trust's
Declaration of Trust, as amended from time-to-time (the
"Declaration"), the Board of Trustees is authorized to issue the
Trust's shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares"), in separate
series, or funds. The Board of Trustees has authorized Kemper
Small Capitalization Equity Fund (the "Fund"). Series may be
abolished and dissolved, and additional series established, from
time to time by action of the Trustees.
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has selected you to act as the
investment manager of the Fund and to provide certain other
services, as more fully set forth below, and you have indicated
that you are willing to act as such investment manager and to
perform such services under the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth. Accordingly, the Trust on behalf of the Fund agrees
with you as follows:
1. Delivery of Documents. The Trust engages in the business of
investing and reinvesting the assets of the Fund in the manner
and in accordance with the investment objectives, policies and
restrictions specified in the currently effective Prospectus (the
"Prospectus") and Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI")
relating to the Fund included in the Trust's Registration
Statement on Form N-1A, as amended from time to time, (the
"Registration Statement") filed by the Trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") and the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Copies of the documents
referred to in the preceding sentence have been furnished to you
by the Trust. The Trust has also furnished you with copies
properly certified or authenticated of each of the following
additional documents related to the Trust and the Fund:
(a) The Declaration, as amended to date.
(b) By-Laws of the Trust as in effect on the date hereof
(the "By-Laws").
(c) Resolutions of the Trustees of the Trust and the
shareholders of the Fund selecting you as investment manager and
approving the form of this Agreement.
(d) Establishment and Designation of Series of Shares of
Beneficial Interest relating to the Fund, as applicable.
The Trust will furnish you from time to time with copies,
properly certified or authenticated, of all amendments of or
supplements, if any, to the foregoing, including the Prospectus,
the SAI and the Registration Statement.
2. Portfolio Management Services. As manager of the assets of
the Fund, you shall provide continuing investment management of
the assets of the Fund in accordance with the investment
objectives, policies and restrictions set forth in the Prospectus
and SAI; the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") relating
to regulated investment companies and all rules and regulations
thereunder; and all other applicable federal and state laws and
regulations of which you have knowledge; subject always to
policies and instructions adopted by the Trust's Board of
Trustees. In connection therewith, you shall use reasonable
efforts to manage the Fund so that it will qualify as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and regulations
issued thereunder. The Fund shall have the benefit of the
investment analysis and research, the review of current economic
conditions and trends and the consideration of long-range
investment policy generally available to your investment advisory
clients. In managing the Fund in accordance with the
requirements set forth in this section 2, you shall be entitled
to receive and act upon advice of counsel to the Trust. You
shall also make available to the Trust promptly upon request all
of the Fund's investment records and ledgers as are necessary to
assist the Trust in complying with the requirements of the 1940
Act and other applicable laws. To the extent required by law,
you shall furnish to regulatory authorities having the requisite
authority any information or reports in connection with the
services provided pursuant to this Agreement which may be
requested in order to ascertain whether the operations of the
Trust are being conducted in a manner consistent with applicable
laws and regulations.
2
You shall determine the securities, instruments, investments,
currencies, repurchase agreements, futures, options and other
contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or
entered into by the Fund and place orders with broker-dealers,
foreign currency dealers, futures commission merchants or others
pursuant to your determinations and all in accordance with Fund
policies as expressed in the Registration Statement. You shall
determine what portion of the Fund's portfolio shall be invested
in securities and other assets and what portion, if any, should
be held uninvested.
You shall furnish to the Trust's Board of Trustees periodic
reports on the investment performance of the Fund and on the
performance of your obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and
you shall supply such additional reports and information as the
Trust's officers or Board of Trustees shall reasonably request.
3. Administrative Services. In addition to the portfolio
management services specified above in section 2, you shall
furnish at your expense for the use of the Fund such office space
and facilities in the United States as the Fund may require for
its reasonable needs, and you (or one or more of your affiliates
designated by you) shall render to the Trust administrative
services on behalf of the Fund necessary for operating as an open

this Agreement including, but not limited to, preparing reports

3
agents of the Fund; assisting in establishing the accounting

required for such parties to effect the payment of dividends and
distributions; and otherwise assisting the Trust as it may
reasonably request in the conduct of the Fund's business, subject
to the direction and control of the Trust's Board of Trustees.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to shift to you or to

person not a party to this Agreement which is obligated to
provide services to the Fund.
4. Allocation of Charges and Expenses. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this section 4, you shall pay the
compensation and expenses of all Trustees, officers and executive
employees of the Trust (including the Fund's share of payroll

You shall not be required to pay any expenses of the Fund other

to be made and costs to be assumed by you as provided in sections
2, 3, and 4 hereof, the Trust on behalf of the Fund shall pay you
in United States Dollars a base annual investment management fee,
payable monthly, at the rate of .65 of 1% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund. This base fee is subject to upward or
downward adjustment on the basis of the investment performance of
the Class A shares of the Fund as compared with the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index (the "Index"). The
Trust will pay an additional monthly fee at an annual rate of
.05% of such average daily net assets for each percentage point
(fractions to be prorated) by which the performance of the Class
5
A shares of the Fund exceeds that of the Index for the
immediately preceding twelve months; provided that such
additional monthly fee shall not exceed 1/12 of .30% of the
average daily net assets. Conversely, the compensation payable
by the Trust will be reduced by an annual rate of .05% of such
average daily net assets for each percentage point (fractions to
be prorated) by which the performance of the Class A shares of
the Fund falls below that of the Index, provided that such
reduction in the monthly fee shall not exceed 1/12 of .30% of the
average net assets. The total fee on an annual basis can range
from .35% to .95% of average daily net assets. The Trust's
investment performance during any twelve month period is measured
by the percentage difference between (a) the opening net asset
value of one Class A share of the Fund and (b) the sum of the
closing net asset value of one Class A share of the Fund plus the
value of any income and capital gain dividends on such share
during the period treated as if reinvested in Class A shares of
the Fund at the time of distribution. The performance of the
Index is measured by the percentage change in the Index between
the beginning and the end of the twelve month period with cash
distributions on the securities which comprise the Index being
treated as reinvested in the Index at the end of each month
following the payment of the dividend. Each monthly calculation
of the incentive portion of the fee may be illustrated as
follows: if over the preceding twelve month period the Trust's
adjusted net asset value applicable to one Class A share went
from $10.00 to $11.00 (10% appreciation), and the Index, after
adjustment, went from 100 to 104 (or only 4%), the entire
incentive compensation would have been earned by you. On the
other hand, if the Index rose from 100 to 110 (10%), no incentive
fee would have been payable. A rise in the Index from 100 to 116
(16%) would have resulted in the minimum monthly fee of 1/12 of
.35%. Since the computation is not cumulative from year to year,
an additional management fee may be payable with respect to a
particular year, although the Trust's performance over some
longer period of time may be less favorable than that of the
Index. Conversely, a lower management fee may be payable in a
year in which the performance of the Fund's Class A shares is
less favorable than that of the Index, although the performance
of the Fund's Class A shares over a longer period of time might
be better than that of the Index. These management fees will be
reduced by any compensation waived by you from time to time (as
more fully described below).
The "average daily net assets" of the Fund shall mean the average
of the values placed on the Fund's net assets as of 4:00 p.m.
(New York time) on each day on which the net asset value of the
Fund is determined consistent with the provisions of Rule 22c-1
under the 1940 Act or, if the Fund lawfully determines the value
of its net assets as of some other time on each business day, as
of such time. The value of the net assets of the Fund shall
always be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the
6
Declaration and the Registration Statement. If the determination
of net asset value does not take place for any particular day,
then for the purposes of this section 5, the value of the net
assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the
value of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time), or as of
such other time as the value of the net assets of the Fund's
portfolio may be lawfully determined on that day. If the Fund
determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio more than
once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on that
day shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that
day for the purposes of this section 5.
You may waive all or a portion of your fees provided for
hereunder and such waiver shall be treated as a reduction in
purchase price of your services. You shall be contractually
bound hereunder by the terms of any publicly announced waiver of
your fee, or any limitation of the Fund's expenses, as if such
waiver or limitation were fully set forth herein.
6. Avoidance of Inconsistent Position; Services Not Exclusive.
In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities and
other investments for the account of the Fund, neither you nor
any of your directors, officers or employees shall act as a
principal or agent or receive any commission. You or your agent
shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and
sale of portfolio securities and other investments for the Fund's
account with brokers or dealers selected by you in accordance
with Fund policies as expressed in the Registration Statement.
If any occasion should arise in which you give any advice to
clients of yours concerning the Shares of the Fund, you shall act
solely as investment counsel for such clients and not in any way
on behalf of the Fund.
Your services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not to
be deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that you may
render investment advice, management and services to others. In
acting under this Agreement, you shall be an independent
contractor and not an agent of the Trust. Whenever the Fund and
one or more other accounts or investment companies advised by you
have available funds for investment, investments suitable and
appropriate for each shall be allocated in accordance with
procedures believed by you to be equitable to each entity.
Similarly, opportunities to sell securities shall be allocated in
a manner believed by you to be equitable. The Fund recognizes
that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size
of the position that may be acquired or disposed of for the Fund.
7. Limitation of Liability of Manager. As an inducement to
your undertaking to render services pursuant to this Agreement,
the Trust agrees that you shall not be liable under this
Agreement for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any
loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which
7
this Agreement relates, provided that nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect you against any
liability to the Trust, the Fund or its shareholders to which you
would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of your duties, or
by reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations and
duties hereunder.
8. Duration and Termination of This Agreement. This Agreement
shall remain in force until March 1, 1998, and continue in force
from year to year thereafter, but only so long as such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by the
vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this
Agreement or interested persons of any party to this Agreement,
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval, and (b) by the Trustees of the Trust, or by the
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Fund. The aforesaid requirement that continuance of this
Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall be
construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order
therefrom.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any
time, without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or by
the Trust's Board of Trustees on 60 days' written notice to you,
or by you on 60 days' written notice to the Trust. This
Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any
time without the payment of any penalty by the Board of Trustees
or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Fund in the event that it shall have been established by a
court of competent jurisdiction that you or any of your officers
or directors has taken any action which results in a breach of
your covenants set forth herein.
9. Amendment of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement
may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only
by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be effective
until approved in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and rules
and regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order
therefrom.
10. Limitation of Liability for Claims. The Declaration, a copy
of which, together with all amendments thereto, is on file in the
Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
provides that the name "Kemper Small Capitalization Equity Fund"
8
refers to the Trustees under the Declaration collectively as
Trustees and not as individuals or personally, and that no
shareholder of the Fund, or Trustee, officer, employee or agent
of the Trust, shall be subject to claims against or obligations
of the Trust or of the Fund to any extent whatsoever, but that
the Trust estate only shall be liable.
You are hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
liability as set forth in the Declaration and you agree that the
obligations assumed by the Trust on behalf of the Fund pursuant
to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Fund and
its assets, and you shall not seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Fund
or any other series of the Trust, or from any Trustee, officer,
employee or agent of the Trust. You understand that the rights
and obligations of each Fund, or series, under the Declaration
are separate and distinct from those of any and all other series.
11. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Agreement are included
for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit
any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their
construction or effect. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
In interpreting the provisions of this Agreement, the definitions
contained in Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act (particularly the
definitions of "affiliated person," "assignment" and "majority of
the outstanding voting securities"), as from time to time
amended, shall be applied, subject, however, to such exemptions
as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or order.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provided that nothing herein
shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the 1940 Act, or
in a manner which would cause the Fund to fail to comply with the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.
This Agreement shall supersede all prior investment advisory or
management agreements entered into between you and the Trust on
behalf of the Fund.
