Notes to Performance Summary

* Returns and rankings during all periods shown reflect a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. Without this waiver/reimbursement, returns and rankings would have been lower.
*** The Fund commenced operations on December 23, 1998. Index returns begin December 31, 1998.
+ Lehman 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index, our primary benchmark, is an unmanaged index consisting of all US government agency and Treasury securities, as well as all investment grade corporate debt securities with maturities of one to three years.
++ iMoneyNet-First Tier Retail Money Funds Average is compiled by iMoneyNet, Inc., an independent money market mutual fund rating service, and includes retail money market funds containing securities rated in the highest short-term rating category by two or more nationally recognized ratings organizations.
++ Wrapped Lehman Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index is a custom benchmark representing investment in a portfolio consisting of the Lehman Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index representing domestic taxable investment grade bonds with index components for government, corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities with average maturities and durations in the intermediate range, and a book value wrapper agreement with an assumed expense level of 0.20%. This benchmark more closely reflects the market sector in which the Fund invests.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

All performance is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased. Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns and rankings may differ by share class.

Performance excludes 2% maximum redemption fee, which may apply in certain limited circumstances. Any redemption fees that have been retained by the Fund are reflected.

The Fund seeks to maintain a constant $10.00 per share net asset value. The Fund is not a money market fund, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable value per share. The Fund holds fixed income securities, money market instruments, futures, options and other instruments and enters into Wrapper Agreements with insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions. These agreements are intended to stabilize the value per share. Please see the prospectus for more information on these agreements. Wrapper agreements are considered derivative instruments. Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional securities and the Fund could suffer losses on its derivative positions.

Investments in funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. These include funds that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market countries). Please read this fund's prospectus for specific details regarding its investments and risk profile.

Economic Overview


Dear Shareholder:

A loss of economic momentum began earlier this year in the run-up to the US-led war with Iraq, and recent economic data has been almost uniformly weak.

For years the economy has been struggling to "work off the excesses" of the late-1990s boom - excessive capital investment by firms, deficient savings by households, and inflated stock prices, for example. Now geopolitical uncertainties (such as terrorist strikes, prolonged or spreading war, and disruption of oil supplies), as well as higher oil prices, have been added to the mix. These factors have taken a heavy toll on economic activity. Labor markets have softened, so many people have been out of work. Consumers have feared having less money, and have been spending less. Businesses, afraid that consumers won't buy their goods, have been wary of investing in new equipment and building up inventories. As a result, economic growth has been slow.

When the geopolitical uncertainties diminish, a major weight will likely be lifted from the economy. But that doesn't mean it will bounce back right away. The economy will still have to work off some of the excesses of the late-1990s boom, as described above. And this may restrain a recovery.

Despite these problems, the economy still has two major sources of support. One of them is policy stimulus, such as interest rates and tax cuts. If the economy's weakness persists much longer - and especially if it lingers after the geopolitical uncertainties diminish - the Federal Reserve Board will most likely make additional interest rate cuts. Plus, federal spending hikes and tax cuts are putting more money into the pockets of consumers. This is encouraging consumer spending, which is encouraging business investment.

Another source of support for the economy is strong productivity. Productivity is a measure of business output per person-hour worked. Growth in productivity means businesses produce more goods with the same amount of labor. And that means they can possibly afford to pay workers more or hire more people. And higher wages and better employment opportunities typically encourage people to spend more.

This, in turn, encourages businesses to invest in capital, because they know that if they produce more, they will be rewarded by consumers buying their goods.

We expect policy stimulus and strong productivity growth to persist. This - along with a decrease in geopolitical uncertainty and lower oil prices, should both occur - would enable the economy to claw its way back to average growth and above in late 2003 and 2004.

We believe equities will surely benefit if geopolitical uncertainty declines and economic activity accelerates, as we expect later this year. However, equities are still not cheap, even after the price declines of the past three years. As a result, we expect equity returns to beat Treasury returns by much less than in recent decades. (However, note that there is a greater level of risk associated with stocks. Unlike Treasuries, the investment return and principal value of stocks will fluctuate.)

Portfolio Management Review


The Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund was the first SEC registered mutual fund specifically designed as an investment alternative for individuals with IRAs previously invested in bond funds, money market funds, savings accounts and CDs1, as well as rollovers from retirement programs invested in traditional GIC commingled funds and other stable value products. It is well worth noting that until this fund was introduced in December 1998, the only alternative retirement plan rollovers had for their conservative, stable value assets was money market funds. The Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund seeks to provide a high income while maintaining a stable value per share. The fund is offered to Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, Education IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension IRAs (SEP IRAs), Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE IRAs), and Keogh plans.

1 Source: Financial Planning, 12/98. Unlike CDs and bank savings accounts, shares of the fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by any bank and the shares are not federally insured or guaranteed by the US government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency. In addition, unlike the fund, CDs and bank savings accounts generally offer a fixed rate of return.

In the following interview, NY-based Portfolio Managers John Axtell, Eric Kirsch, Sean McCaffrey and Robert Wang discuss the fund's strategy and the market environment during the six-month period ended March 31, 2003.

Q: How did the Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund perform during the first half of its fiscal year?

A: Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund Investment Class shares produced a return of 2.12% for the six months ended March 31, 2003. The Lehman 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index produced a return of 2.11% for the same semiannual period.

The fund delivered on its objective to maintain a stable share price each day during the period. The fund also produced strong returns relative to other conservative investments, such as the iMoneyNet First Tier Retail Money Markets Fund Average, which returned just 0.38% for the six months ended March 31, 2003.

Morningstar® has rated Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund the highest Overall Morningstar Rating™ (five stars) out of 80 ultrashort bond funds, as of March 31, 2003, based on its risk-adjusted performance.2

2 Source: Morningstar, Inc. The rating above and the following ratings are for Class INV shares, the fund's oldest share class; Class A share ratings are not yet available. Class INV share ratings do not reflect adjustments for higher operating expenses and sales charges and might have been less favorable if they did. The fund's Class INV shares were rated 5 stars for the 3-year period ending 3/31/03 against 80 US domiciled funds in the Ultrashort Bond category. There were 80 funds in this category for the Overall Rating period.
© 2003 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved. Morningstar, Inc. shall not be responsible for investment decisions, damages or other losses resulting from use of this rating. For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in a category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its applicable 3-, 5- and 10-year Morningstar Rating metrics.

The fund was primarily diversified across the major sectors of the investment grade fixed income market. As of March 31, 2003, the portfolio was allocated 28.3% to corporate bonds, 26.5% to mortgage-backed securities, 18.7% to asset-backed securities, 14.6% to US Treasuries/agencies and 11.9% to cash equivalents and other investments, including futures contracts and Wrapper Agreements. Within its corporate bond allocation, 7.8% was allocated to the US high yield sector. This positioning successfully enabled the fund to benefit from the broad tightening of yield spreads over US Treasuries when high yield spreads were near historically wide levels. The fund continued to obtain its exposure to the high yield sector by investing in the Scudder High Income Plus Fund. This means of investment enables the fund to have exposure to a more well diversified portfolio of high yield securities, and therefore one with less individual issue risk, than the fund could gain by investing directly in high yield securities.

This allocation of fixed income securities was intentionally weighted towards the corporate, asset-backed and mortgage sectors, as these sectors have historically offered higher yields than US government securities. The fund employed its Global Asset Allocation (GAA) overlay strategy, which evaluates bond, cash, and currency opportunities across domestic and international markets. The Wrapper Agreements are intended to stabilize the fund's net asset value (NAV) per share.

Q: Could you provide us with more details about these Wrapper Agreements?

A: The Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund was the first SEC registered mutual fund for IRA investors to make use of Wrapper Agreements to seek to maintain principal stability. To date, we have negotiated six Wrapper Agreements, each of which covers a portion of the fixed income securities and GAA strategy in the portfolio. Generally speaking, Wrapper Agreements are issued by insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions. The Wrapper Agreements held by the portfolio as of March 31, 2003 are issued by Bank of America NA, Transamerica Life Insurance & Annuity Co., JP Morgan Chase Bank, CDC Financial Products, Inc., Security Life of Denver and Prudential Insurance Co. of America. This was a successful strategy for the fund.

The fund has maintained a high average quality portfolio. Measuring using Standard & Poor's ratings, the average credit quality of investments in the fund was AA+ at the end of the semiannual period, and the average credit

quality of the issuers of the Wrapper Agreements was AA on March 31, 2003.3 The fund's average duration at the end of the semiannual period stood at 3.08 years.

3 Ratings are subject to change and do not remove market risk.

Q: Did the fixed income environment support the fund's positive performance?

A: Overall, the US fixed income markets performed strongly during the semiannual period. For the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index4 produced a total return of 2.99%. Commercial mortgage-backed securities returned 3.03% on a total return basis. US credits, formerly known as the corporate sector, account for approximately 26% of the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. US credits had a total return of 5.55%, as corporate bonds generally performed well, reversing their trend from early 2002.

4 The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of intermediate-term government bonds, investment grade corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed securities.

Federal Reserve Board action continued to be a major influence on the US fixed income markets. After a year of holding interest rates steady, the Federal Reserve Board cut the targeted federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.25% on November 6, 2002 in an effort to jump-start an economy that it thought may be decelerating. At the same time, it changed its economic assessment of risks in the economy to "balanced." Since then, the Federal Reserve Board has kept interest rates unchanged. However, at its most recent meeting in March, the Federal Reserve Board chose not to give an assessment of the risks in the economy due to "geopolitical uncertainties." The Federal Reserve Board further stated that once there was some resolution to those uncertainties, the economic climate should improve over time.

For the six months as a whole, the US Treasury yield curve steepened, with short-term rates following the federal funds rate lower while the longer-term end was modestly higher in yield. Three-month Treasury bill yields fell 0.44% to 1.11%, and two-year Treasury note yields decreased 0.20% to 1.48%. Five-year Treasury yields rose 0.15% to 2.71%, ten-year Treasury yields rose 0.21% to 3.80%, and the thirty-year Treasury yield increased 0.15% to 4.82%. Even with a slight back-up in yields at the longer end of the yield curve, the Lehman US Treasury Index still produced a positive total return of 1.45% for the semiannual period. Continued US economic sluggishness, the fight on terrorism at home and abroad, equity market weakness and volatility and the impending and then actual engagement of Iraq's military by coalition forces continued to support the ongoing flight to quality into the US Treasury market.

Q: How did the corporate, asset-backed and mortgage sectors perform?

A: In contrast to the last fiscal year, these three sectors outperformed US Treasuries on a nominal basis for the semiannual period. Still, the mortgage-backed sector was impacted by higher prepayments, as low interest rates kept refinancing high. The asset-backed sector generally performed well, with the exception of the manufactured housing sub-sector.

As last fiscal year's headlines about corporate earnings quality, accounting integrity concerns, ratings downgrades and high profile corporate bankruptcies moved off the front page and the market shifted its focus to geopolitical concerns, the US credit sector was the stellar performer over the six months ended March 31, 2003. US credit yield spreads over US Treasuries tightened from historically wide levels. For the semiannual period, these sectors of the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index produced total returns as follows: mortgage-backed securities, 2.30%; asset-backed securities, 2.16%; and US credits, 5.55%. As you can see then, the economic, political and equity market environment all led to fixed income being the asset class of choice throughout most of the semiannual period.

We maintain our long-term perspective for the fund, monitoring economic conditions and how they affect the financial markets, as we seek to provide a high level of current income while seeking to maintain a stable value per share. Our strategy is to continue to focus on selecting spread sector assets - corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed securities - offering the best relative value at the maximum yield possible, while normally maintaining a 5% cash allocation to provide liquidity. This liquidity facilitates the management of daily investor cash flows. Additionally, we expect the GAA strategy to boost returns, should world economic momentum begin to rebuild.

As of March 31, 2003, Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund was closed to new purchases. At this time, current shareholders may continue to add new assets to their fund accounts.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The managers' views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)


A. Significant Accounting Policies

PreservationPlus Income Fund ("Scudder PreservationPlus Income Fund" or the "Fund") is a diversified series of the BT Investment Funds (the "Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the PreservationPlus Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a diversified, open-end management investment company advised by Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc."). On March 31, 2003, the Fund owned approximately 73% of the PreservationPlus Income Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which provide investors with different purchase options. On November 29, 2002, the Fund commenced offering Class A shares. On February 3, 2003, the Fund commenced offering Class C shares. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class C shares are offered to investors subject to a 1% initial sales charge and are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. Class C shares do not convert into another class. Investment Class shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges. Effective March 31, 2003, the Fund will cease to offer shares to new investors. Management will notify prospective shareholders when the Fund re-opens to new accounts.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as service fees, administrative fees and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, subject to class-specific arrangements.

The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. The Fund determines the valuation of its investment, including wrapper agreements, in the Portfolio by multiplying its proportionate ownership of the Portfolio by the total value of the Portfolio's net assets.

The Portfolio's policies for determining the value of its net assets are discussed in the Portfolio's financial statements, which accompany this report.

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

Distribution of Income and Gains. All of the net investment income is declared as a daily dividend and distributed to shareholders monthly. 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 at least annually.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, net investment income (loss) 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 net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the Fund's investment in the Portfolio consists of an allocated portion of the Portfolio's appreciation/depreciation. Please refer to the Portfolio's financial statements for a breakdown of the appreciation/depreciation from investments.

At September 30, 2002, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*
$ 4,618,959
Undistributed net long-term capital gains
$ 30,570
Capital loss carryforwards
$ -
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
$ (2,674,459)

In addition, during the year ended September 30, 2002, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:

Distributions from ordinary income*
$ 9,598,999

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Other. The Fund receives a daily allocation of the Portfolio's net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses, including wrapper agreements, in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Trust are allocated among the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets.

B. Related Parties

Scudder Investments is part of Deutsche Asset Management, which is the marketing name in the US for the asset management activities of Deutsche Bank AG. Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") is the Advisor for the Portfolio and Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICCC" or the "Administrator") is the Administrator for the Fund, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Bank AG.

For the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Advisor and Administrator contractually agreed to waive their fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of each class as follows: Class A shares 1.50%, Class C shares 2.25% and Investment Class 1.50%, including expenses allocated from the Portfolio. Furthermore, for the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Advisor and Administrator voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of each class as follows: Class A shares 1.25%, Class C shares 2.00% and Investment Class 1.00%, including expenses allocated from the Portfolio. Under this agreement, the Advisor reimbursed additional expenses of $278,837.

Administrator Service Fee. ICCC serves as Administrator and receives a fee (the "Administrator Service Fee") of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Administrator Service Fee was as follows:

Distribution Agreement. Under the Distribution Agreement, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("SDI"), an affiliate of the Advisor and Administrator, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.25% and 0.75% of average daily net assets of Class A and C shares, respectively. Pursuant to this agreement, SDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of Class A and C shares. For the period ended March 31, 2003, the Distribution Fee was as follows:

Distribution Fee

Shareholder Service Agreement. ICCC provides information and administrative services to the Fund and receives a fee ("Shareholder Servicing Fee") at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets for each class. ICCC in turn has various agreements with financial services firms that provide these services and pays these fees based upon the assets of shareholder accounts the firms service. For the period ended March 31, 2003, the Shareholder Servicing Fee was as follows:

Effective December 16, 2002, Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor and Administrator, is the Fund's transfer agent. SISC provides the same services that ICCC provided to the Fund and is entitled to receive the same rate of compensation. Prior to December 16, 2002, ICCC served as the Fund's transfer agent. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by SISC, not by the Fund.

Underwriting Agreement and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. SDI is the principal underwriter for Class A and C shares. Underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distribution of Class A and C shares for the period ended March 31, 2003 aggregated $0.

In addition, SDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of purchase. There is no such charge upon redemption of any share appreciation or reinvested dividends. The CDSC is based on 1% for Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the period from February 3, 2003 to March 31, 2003, the CDSC for Class C shares was $0.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund pays each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

C. Ownership of the Fund

From time to time the Fund may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.

As of March 31, 2003, there were four shareholders who individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the PreservationPlus Income Fund. These shareholders held 37%, 36%, 7% and 6%, respectively, of the total shares outstanding of the Fund.

E. Other

Under normal circumstances, redemptions of shares that are qualified are not subject to a redemption fee. Redemptions of shares or redemptions from 401(k) plans or IRAs that are not qualified are subject to a 2% redemption fee if the "interest rate trigger" is active.

F. Additional Distributions

In order to comply with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, the Fund is required to distribute accumulated net realized gains, if any, on an annual basis. When such distributions are made, the immediate impact is a corresponding reduction in the net asset value per share of each Class. Given the objective of the Fund to maintain a stable net asset value of $10 per share, the Fund intends to declare a reverse stock split immediately subsequent to any such distributions at a rate that will cause the total number of shares held by each shareholder, including shares acquired on reinvestment of that distribution, to remain the same as before the distribution was paid and in effect reinstate a net asset value of $10 per share.

On December 19, 2002, the Fund declared a capital gain distribution of $0.04 per share and a corresponding reverse stock split of .996 per share. There was no effect on the value of the total holdings of each shareholder (assuming reinvestment of such distributions) as a result of this activity.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)


A. Significant Accounting Policies

PreservationPlus Income Portfolio ("PreservationPlus Income Portfolio" or the "Portfolio") is a diversified series of BT Investment Portfolios (the "Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a New York business trust.

The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Investments are stated at value determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Trustees of the Portfolio. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from one or more broker-dealers. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies and Cash Management Fund Institutional are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees.

Wrapper Agreements generally will be equal to the difference between the Book Value and Market Value (plus accrued interest on the underlying securities) of the covered assets and will either be reflected as an asset or a liability of the Portfolio. The Portfolio's Board of Trustees, in performing its fair value determination of the Portfolio's Wrapper Agreements, considers the creditworthiness and the ability of Wrapper Providers to pay amounts due under the Wrapper Agreements.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in US dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the disposition of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed but is included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount of a financial instrument at a specified price on a specific date (settlement date). The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated interest rate, currency or equity market changes, and for duration management, risk management and return enhancement purposes.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with a financial intermediary an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Portfolio dependent upon the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When entering into a closing transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract to sell and the futures contract to buy. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts, including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Portfolio's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with the changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged. When utilizing futures contracts to hedge, the Portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward currency contract") is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign currency denominated portfolio holdings and to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and unrealized gain (loss) is recorded daily. Sales and purchases of forward currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any gain (loss) is realized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is realized on settlement date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses which represent the difference between the value of a forward currency contract to buy and a forward currency contract to sell are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into forward currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward currency contracts to hedge, the Portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities. The Portfolio may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the Portfolio enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Portfolio until payment takes place. At the time the Portfolio enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio is considered a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. The credited rate interest is accrued daily and represents the difference between actual interest earned on covered assets under the Portfolio's Wrapper Agreements and the product of the Book Value of the covered assets multiplied by the crediting rate as determined pursuant to the Wrapper Agreements.

The Portfolio makes a daily allocation of its net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses (including Wrapper Agreements) from securities and foreign currency transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the six months ended March 31, 2003, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $2,104,004,732 and $1,227,372,662 respectively.

C. Related Parties

Scudder Investments is part of Deutsche Asset Management, which is the marketing name in the US for the asset management activities of Deutsche Bank AG. Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. ("DeAM, Inc." or the "Advisor") is the Advisor for the Portfolio and Investment Company Capital Corporation ("ICCC" or the "Administrator") is the Administrator for the Portfolio, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Bank AG.

Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor directs the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Portfolio. The advisory fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 0.70% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. These fees are not charged on assets invested in affiliated Money Market funds. These fees are reduced to 0.10% on assets invested in Scudder High Income Plus Fund. The Portfolio waives a portion of its advisory fees equivalent to the advisory fees charged on assets invested in the affiliated money market fund, Cash Management Fund Institutional.

For the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Advisor maintained the annualized expenses of the Portfolio at not more than 0.80% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Accordingly, for the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Advisor did not impose a portion of its advisory fee pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement aggregating $603,556 and the amount imposed aggregated $3,896,895, which was equivalent to an annualized effective rate of 0.54% of the Portfolio's average net assets.

Administrator Service Fee. ICCC serves as Administrator and receives a fee (the "Administrator Service Fee") of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Administrator Service Fee was $358,228.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas ("DBT Co."), an affiliate of the Portfolio's Advisor and Administrator, serves as the Portfolio's custodian.

Other. The Portfolio may invest in Cash Management Fund Institutional, an open-end management investment company managed by DeAM, Inc. Distributions from Cash Management Fund Institutional to the Portfolio for the six months ended March 31, 2003, totaled $847,818.

To gain exposure to high yield debt securities, the Portfolio may purchase high yield debt securities directly or invest in the Scudder High Income Plus Fund, an affiliated mutual fund. The Portfolio will reduce its advisory fee to 0.10% of its average daily net assets with respect to its assets invested in the Scudder High Income Plus Fund. Distributions from Scudder High Income Plus Fund to the Portfolio for the six months ended March 31, 2003, totaled $5,966,881.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Portfolio pays each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

E. Line of Credit

The Portfolio and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $200 million revolving credit facility administered by a syndicate of banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated pro rata based upon net assets among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.625 percent. During the period, the Portfolio had no borrowings on the line of credit.

F. Wrapper Agreements

The Portfolio enters into agreements with insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions that are designed to protect the Portfolio from investment losses and, under most circumstances, permit the Fund to maintain a constant NAV per share. Since there is no market for Wrapper Agreements they are considered illiquid.

A default by the issuer of a portfolio security or a Wrapper Provider on its obligations might result in a decrease in the value of the Portfolio assets. The Wrapper Agreements generally do not protect the Portfolio from loss if an issuer of Portfolio securities defaults on payments of interest or principal.

G. Subsequent Event

On January 31, 2003, Deutsche Bank AG completed the sale of its Global Securities Service business to State Street Bank, Inc. The sale included US custody, securities lending and other processing services located in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The Board of Trustees of the Portfolio approved changing the Portfolio's custodian to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") at Board meetings held on February 24, 2003 and March 27, 2003. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly, Bankers Trust Company), an affiliate of the Portfolio's Advisor and Administrator, currently serves as the custodian to the Portfolio. The Portfolio's assets will be transitioned to State Street on or about June 6, 2003.
