Economic Overview


Dear Shareholder:

There's no longer any doubt that the United States is in the midst of a recession. But the question everyone's asking is, how will we get out of it - and when will it be over?

With Japan lingering in recession and Europe still in the doldrums, it will likely fall to the United States to lead the way forward, despite its own recession. With respect to timing, a variety of factors suggest that we'll see a recovery soon - but it will be less than robust.

There are factors that could delay the onset of recovery and weaken its eventual strength. For example, a country's currency usually weakens in a recession, but the dollar continues to climb, hurting exports. Home and auto sales - whose recovery typically propels an overall economy recovery - have not fallen as they usually do, so how can they recover? And excess investment during the bubble years has littered the landscape with underutilized facilities and crushed profits, dimming the jobs and investment outlook.

However, there are also unusually powerful forces for growth. Tax cuts already on the books are taking effect, and military and security spending are jumping. Oil prices have sunk, leaving more money for consumers and businesses to spend on other things. And perhaps most importantly, the Federal Reserve Board has pulled out all the stops and is flooding the system with money.

That last point is worth discussing in more detail, because those who remember the 1970s might wonder how the Fed has gotten away with printing so much money without reigniting inflation. One reason is foreigners' insatiable appetite for the dollar. Ordinarily, if a central banker tries to print his way out of economic hard times, he gets a quick reprimand from the currency markets. He then faces a tough choice: Raise interest rates to protect his currency or face inflation caused by a weakened exchange rate which raises the cost of imports. But these are not ordinary times. While the dollar's fundamentals may appear less than stellar, global capital finds the alternatives even less appealing. Barring a turn in the dollar's fortune, the Fed should feel free to keep its foot on the gas.

In summary, we believe that policy stimulus should be successful in nudging the economy back to health early this year, even if growth will not return to late 90s levels any time soon. Indeed, the markets - which tend to be forward looking - are already supporting this theory as evidenced by a sharp rebound in the U.S. markets during the final three months of the year. Investors were also cheered by news of the significant gains made by the United States in the war on terrorism, and several announcements from high-profile corporations that earnings should pick up in the year ahead helped provide additional support for the markets.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Aggressive Growth Portfolio

Scudder Aggressive Growth Portfolio fell 21.76 percent for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2001. The portfolio's benchmark - the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Index - fell 11.88 percent over the same period. As you know, the portfolio's risk profile is much higher than that of the overall equity market. Aggressive growth stocks were especially hard hit for most of 2001 as the U.S. economy's short-term growth prospects fizzled.

Information technology stocks suffered the largest decline of any sector during the year. Many software, telecommunications and Internet-related companies lost more than half their value. Some fell as much as 90 percent. We maintained a high cash position in an effort to preserve capital. However, beginning in April 2001, many of the portfolio's historical performance pillars collapsed as a wave of selling left few aggressive growth stocks unscathed. The health care sector was one of the few areas in which stocks provided positive yearly returns.

Market conditions have made our stock-screening process more challenging and yet more important than ever. We believe it is imperative to closely monitor the fundamental operations of every stock in the portfolio, particularly technology companies and smaller businesses. We look for companies that historically have had the lowest probability of negative earnings surprises.

In the year ahead, we believe investors are likely to focus on a company's ability to preserve profitability in the face of weakening sales and service revenues. Based on our analysis, the portfolio's holdings have strong long-term survivability prospects, generally operate in niche markets and enjoy solid franchises. We anticipate rapidly employing our cash position as opportunities rise to add high quality companies at stock prices that do not reflect their long-term growth potential.

In managing the portfolio, our approach is that of a business owner, not a stock player. We were encouraged to see that the portfolio substantially outperformed the S&P 500 Index in the fourth quarter. We believe this is because we have remained true to the portfolio's aggressive growth-style mandate. We believe attitudes about investing are beginning to change, and many people are looking at an economic recovery for 2002.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Blue Chip Portfolio

Scudder Blue Chip Portfolio lost 15.81 percent in 2001. By comparison, the portfolio's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500, lost 11.88 percent. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged group of large-cap stocks (growth and value) that are representative of the U.S. stock market. We attribute the portfolio's underperformance to its large growth orientation and lack of value stocks, which outperformed growth stocks in the first 10 months of the year.

We structured the portfolio defensively at the start of the period by increasing exposure to health care and financial stocks and reducing exposure to technology. This defensive posture helped as technology continued to struggle and health care gained. We took on a more aggressive technology stance in April, which helped as many technology companies gained ground. In July we marginally reduced our technology position. To reduce risk, we kept it well diversified with the more "defensive" technology companies, such as IBM and Microsoft. This was extremely helpful as stocks plummeted in the wake of the September 11 tragedy. Our retail and media stocks - which we had been building in anticipation of an improving economy - however, suffered as it became clear that the any hopes for a quick recovery were gone.

We are optimistic that the economy will improve in 2002 and have begun positioning the portfolio more aggressively. We've trimmed defensive stocks and added to issues that we believe might benefit from improved economic growth. Although we're heartened by the fourth quarter stock market rally, we believe a full economic and market recovery will take a while to work through. With the portfolio's more aggressive structure, however, we believe it is well positioned to benefit from any improvement in the economy and markets.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Contrarian Value Portfolio

Last year was an extremely difficult one for investors. Although nearly all stocks lost ground, large value stocks weathered the storm much better than their growth counterparts. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2001, Scudder Contrarian Value Portfolio gained 1.87 percent, far surpassing the Standard & Poor's 500, which lost 11.88 percent. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged group of large-cap stocks (growth and value) that are representative of the U.S. stock market. Our commitment to the contrarian philosophy and strict adherence to our disciplined value investment process is what enabled us to outperform even in this difficult market environment.

Financials remained the portfolio's largest industry stake, but we strategically reduced positions in longtime holdings that had appreciated greatly. Notably, we pared down our holdings in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to book gains. We sold positions in Washington Mutual, which was nearing an all-time high, and in some property and casualty companies. We increased the portfolio's position in industrial stocks and began to build a tech position for the portfolio in early 2001. We sought out what we believed would be the technology survivors and purchased the dominant names in their respective businesses. Our investment in tech was early and declined after our initial purchase, but we believe that our investment process has helped us to uncover names with the strongest probability of success - those with higher revenue, earnings and stock price potential.

It is our contention that the Fed's efforts to spur economic growth, together with additional federal stimulus, should result in an economic recovery beginning in the first half of 2002. We will continue to stick to our contrarian discipline by seeking quality companies with earnings growth and dividend yields above the market and price-to-earnings ratios below the market.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Global Blue Chip Portfolio

In a difficult market environment, the portolio produced negative absolute performance but outperformed its unmanaged benchmark, the MSCI World Index, during 2001. This was largely due to the fact that at times when the market is not performing well, our focus on diversification and risk control tends to help performance. On the other hand, the portolio tends to lag at the times when the market is rallying sharply and being led by more aggressive stocks, as was the case during the fourth quarter. Overall, we believe this approach was instrumental in our navigation of the down market of the past two years.

In managing the portolio, we look for important themes driving the global economy, and then invest in well-managed, fundamentally sound companies consistent with these themes. The themes that currently make up the portfolio are based on our broad strategic view that slower economic growth is forcing companies to compete for a larger share of a pie that is no longer expanding. And in a time of difficulty, many companies are seeking to reduce their capital investments and repair their balance sheets. We believe that in combination, these factors will contribute to lower investment returns. We have therefore maintained a focus on the types of companies we have been emphasizing throughout the year: those that derive profits from activities that do not require substantial investment in hard assets (and that instead exploit intellectual capital), companies whose size and balance sheet strength allow them to take advantage of the auction economy by lowering their profit margins to gain market share, raw materials producers that stand to benefit from reduced production capacity in their industries, Japanese firms that are embracing restructuring, and companies with assets that offer relatively stable, annuity-like returns. Looking ahead, we believe that this defensive positioning is prudent given the continued geopolitical risks to the global markets.

-- Scudder Global Blue Chip Portfolio

sv2_g10k19a0

The MSCI World Index is an unmanaged index generally accepted as a benchmark for world equity markets. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. Beginning with the next semiannual report the MSCI World Index, which better accommodates the Portfolio's objective of seeking long-term capital growth through investment in securities of companies throughout the world, will be shown instead of the S&P 500 Index.

1 Average annual total return and total return measure net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments over the periods specified, assuming reinvestment of all dividends. Average annual total return reflects annualized change while total return reflects aggregate change. Performance is net of the portfolio's management fee and other operating expenses but does not include any deduction at the separate account or contract level for any insurance or surrender charges that may be incurred under a contract. Please see the prospectus for more details.
The investment advisor has agreed to either limit, waive or reduce certain fees temporarily for this portfolio; see the prospectus for complete details. Without such limits, waivers or reductions, the performance figures for this subaccount would be lower.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Returns and principal values will fluctuate so that accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Government Securities Portfolio

Prior to 2001, the Federal Reserve Board was still concerned about the potential for accelerating inflation and an economy that might be growing a little too fast. It had just completed a series of increases in short-term interest rates that left the overnight fed funds rate at 6.50 percent. That, combined with the Treasury's program of buying back longer-term debt, led to an "inverted yield curve," in which government bonds maturing in 10 years or more offered lower yields than shorter-term government notes. Then, in January of 2001, amid increasing signs of a slowing economy, the Fed began a series of interest rate cuts. By the end of the year, the fed funds rate was down to 1.75 percent, long-term government bonds were yielding more than short-term notes and the yield curve was once again "normal."

In this environment, the Scudder Government Securities Portfolio provided a total return of 7.48 percent, compared with an 8.25 percent return for its benchmark, the Salomon Brothers 30-Year Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) Index, but ahead of the 7.35 percent return for the average GNMA fund as tracked by Lipper, Inc.

The portfolio had a near-neutral position in its yield curve exposure for much of the period, neither benefiting from nor being hurt by falling interest rates or a flattening yield curve. For most of the period, the portfolio was underweight, relative to its peers, in GNMA securities as refinancings by home owners contributed to weakness in the mortgage market; at one point, the portfolio's GNMA exposure was as low as 85 percent of assets, with the remainder invested in Treasuries. The Treasury market, meanwhile, was unable to sustain the strength it showed following the October announcement that the government would no longer issue 30-year bonds. The belief that an economic rebound could prompt the Fed to begin raising interest rates caused Treasury yields to soar in the final two months of the year. By the end of the period, the portfolio's GNMA exposure was at approximately 90 percent of assets, slightly underweight relative to its peers. We anticipate better relative performance from the mortgage market in coming months.

c As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Portfolio has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium on debt securities. In addition, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 are included as interest income. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income per share by $.08, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $.08 and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 5.67% to 5.06%.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Growth Portfolio

Despite a strong fourth quarter, 2001 was a difficult year for investors in large-cap growth stocks. Continued economic weakness, declining corporate profitability and the shock of September 11 undermined stocks - particularly growth stocks. The market recovered, however, in October, on better-than-expected (albeit weak) third-quarter earnings reports and expectations of an economic rebound. But this advance was not enough to overcome what was, generally, a very weak year.

Investors, for the most part, favored cash, bonds and lower-volatility stocks in 2001. The broad market S&P 500 Index declined 11.88 percent. Value stocks - as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index - fell 5.59 percent while the Russell 1000 Growth Index fell 20.42 percent. Scudder Growth Portfolio declined 22.34 percent in 2001.

For most of the year, we positioned the portfolio in a conservative stance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index. We held more health care, consumer staples and lower-volatility technology stocks and remained cautious after the events of September 11. In the fourth quarter, as portfolio fundamentals began to improve and an economic recovery looked more imminent, we began positioning the portfolio to be more economically-sensitive. We feel that the portfolio is now well-positioned for an economic recovery, and feel that growth stocks should benefit when the economy recovers.

As always, we make our portfolio adjustments within the context of our investment management disciplines. The portfolio remains diversified with exposure to a broad range of economic sectors. These sector weightings are held within +/- 5 percent of the benchmark, as we focus on picking the best companies and not trying to time the ups and downs of each sector. And we look for quality - quality in a company's management, products, balance sheet and earnings potential.

Despite the difficult year that just passed, we feel that the economy is headed in the right direction and that growth companies will once again post attractive returns. We are also confident that our investment process will assist us in locating companies, which, over time, should deliver superior returns and superior long-term results for the portfolio.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder High Yield Portfolio

High-yield bonds finished the quarter and the year strong, but offered plenty of twists and turns along the way. After falling dramatically in response to the events of September 11 and struggling through much of October, high-yield bonds, like the equity market, rallied in the second half of the quarter amid expectations of economic recovery in 2002. During the quarter, the Federal Reserve Board maintained its easing stance and cut short-term interest rates. After a 50-basis-point cut on November 6 and a 25-basis-point cut on December 11, the federal funds rate finished the year at 1.75 percent.

In the quarter and the year, Scudder High Yield Portfolio slightly outperformed the Lipper High Current Yield Funds category average. The category includes portfolios that aim at high (relative) current yield from fixed-income securities, have no quality or maturity restrictions and tend to invest in lower-grade municipal debt. The portfolio finished the year with an overweight in B-rated issues, which helped as lower-quality bonds surged in the latter half of the quarter. Overweights in the gaming, wireless and housing sectors also aided returns, as those areas bounced back strongly particularly in November.

Overall, investor interest in high yield was solid in 2001. Issuance of new high-yield bonds was $95 billion in 2001, an increase over 2000. In addition, investors poured about twice as much money into high-yield mutual funds in 2001 as they did in 2000. However, credit conditions were tough in 2001. High-yield bonds finished the year with an estimated default rate of 10 percent. The market expects that rate to peak in mid-2002. Management sees this weeding-out period leading to a stronger high-yield market over the long term. Further, management believes the portfolio is well-positioned for 2002, with its current overweight relative to peers in B-rated bonds. Management looks for strong potential for the high-yield market in general in the upcoming year and continued solid results coming from B-rated issues.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Returns and principal values will fluctuate so that accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder International Research Portfolio

Global markets declined for the bulk of the annual period ending December 31, 2001. The corporate landscape was increasingly driven to shift away from rising profit expectations and toward a slowdown or even decline. Investor nervousness about the technology slowdown, rising oil prices and widespread economic malaise hurt stock prices as well as consumer confidence. A series of disappointing earnings announcements and corporate layoffs only made these problems worse. The events of September 11 in the United States severely aggravated these negative trends. However, central banks across the world reacted swiftly to ease interest rates and inject liquidity into the financial system. In the final months of the year, global markets in general rebounded in response to the quick and forceful reaction from global policy makers. Of the major international stock markets, Japan's was the weakest performer. The global economic slowdown hit Japan especially hard given the fragile state of its economy. European markets also retracted from previous highs, though they performed relatively better.

Scudder International Research Portfolio declined 24.43 percent against this backdrop, compared with the MSCI EAFE + EMF Index, which fell 19.47 percent. As you know, we try to maintain a diversified portfolio of international equities while also adhering to a regional allocation that is neutral compared with our benchmark. The three regions are Europe, Japan and the emerging markets. In Europe and Japan, we keep the portfolio's sector allocations neutral as well. Weakness among Japanese industrials and financials - reflecting economic weakness in that country - contributed to relative underperformance in developed markets. Select emerging markets holdings offset some of the damage, particularly toward the end of the period.

During the current period of heightened economic uncertainty, we remain focused first and foremost on security selection, with continued attention to strong market positions, balance sheet strength and valuation support. We expect the liquidity-driven rally to continue and are further encouraged by some signs of stabilization in the U.S. economy, which bodes well for the global economy.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Investment Grade Bond Portfolio

The bond market experienced unusual volatility in the fourth quarter as post-September 11 concerns and news that the Treasury would stop issuing 30-year bonds caused Treasury yields to plummet (and prices to rise) in late October. However, a growing belief that a resumption of economic growth in 2002 would cause the Federal Reserve to begin raising interest rates caused yields to soar during the final two months of the quarter. Corporate issues lost ground, but performed well in relation to Treasuries.

The portfolio's duration (interest rate sensitivity) stood at 5.3 years on December 31, which is higher than normal. This was a result of our decision to increase duration in late September. While this move initially helped performance when Treasuries rallied in late October, it ultimately proved to be a negative when yields soared in the final two months of the year. On the plus side, performance was helped by the portfolio's position in asset-backed securities and government agency notes, both of which provided attractive yields without adding to the portfolio's credit risk. In the corporate sector, the portfolio's position remains well-diversified across all industries, and is spread among a wide variety of individual securities. We believe this high level of diversification will enable us to better manage the portfolio's risk over time.

Looking ahead, we intend to keep the portfolio's duration on the long side. We will also be looking for opportunities to take advantage of any price weakness in corporates to add marginally to the portfolio's position in the sector.

Average annual total return reflects annualized change while total return reflects aggregate change. Performance is net of the portfolio's management fee and other operating expenses but does not include any deduction at the separate account or contract level for any insurance or surrender charges that may be incurred under a contract. Please see the prospectus for more details.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Returns and principal values will fluctuate so that accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

a On June 18, 2001, the Portfolio implemented a 1 for 10 reverse stock split. Per share information, for the periods prior to December 31, 2001, has been restated to reflect the effect of the split. Shareholders received 1 share for every 10 shares owned and net asset value per share increased correspondingly (see Notes to Financial Statements).
b Based on average shares outstanding during the period.
c As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Portfolio has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium on debt securities. In addition, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 are included as interest income. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income per share by $.01, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $.01 and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 5.54% to 5.46%. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to January 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.
d The amount of net realized and unrealized gain shown for a share outstanding for the period ending December 31, 2001 does not correspond with the aggregate net loss on investments for the period due to the timing of sales and repurchases of Portfolio shares in relation to fluctuating market values of the investments of the Portfolio.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Money Market Portfolio

On December 11, the Fed reduced interest rates one quarter of a percentage point, dropping the fed funds rate to 1.75 percent, its lowest level in 40 years. Coinciding with the Fed's unprecedented series of actions, interest rates for money market securities declined dramatically during 2001. It's likely that money market interest rates will remain at or near current levels until late in the second quarter of 2002.

In managing the portfolio, we focus on maintaining average maturity within a target range (currently 40 to 60 days) and in selecting securities that will benefit the portfolio given current interest rate trends. As a result, we generally do not make large asset allocation shifts within the portfolio. We attempt to maintain exposure to a broad selection of securities, including high quality commercial paper, variable- and floating-rate securities, U.S. government agency obligations, certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. The majority of the portfolio remained invested in asset-backed commercial paper over the period because of its attractive value and high relative yields.

Over the coming months we will periodically reassess our outlook on the economy in light of actions by the Federal Reserve and adjust our strategy accordingly. Going forward, we will look for attractive opportunities as they arise, seek to maintain a high yield and be vigilant in terms of the credit quality of the portfolio as we position the Money Market Portfolio for current income, and stability and liquidity of capital.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder New Europe Portfolio

Markets around the globe declined for the bulk of the period as investors reacted to the deteriorating economic environment. Corporate profit expectations were ratcheted down, buffeted by the headwinds of falling investment spending and rising oil prices. Although European markets tracked the U.S. markets, the underlying fundamentals in Europe looked more solid. Europe was earlier in its economic cycle than the United States and was less exposed to market and economic excesses. Europe had been less burdened by the imbalances that characterize the U.S. financial system, such as the high levels of debt among consumers and corporations. Even so, by the second quarter, European companies began to preannounce profit shortfalls. Then, the shocking terrorist attacks on the United States shattered markets. European markets fell sharply in the days following the attack. However, the sharp contraction in equity prices and the aggressive and apparently coordinated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and even the reluctant European Central Bank served to establish a base for equity prices. Markets staged a recovery toward the end of the period.

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2001, MSCI Europe Equity Index declined 19.90 percent, while Scudder New Europe Portfolio fell 29.86 percent. The portfolio suffered from its growth bias during this period when typical growth industries such as technology, media and telecom performed poorly overall. Several of our positions in commercial services and software also hurt performance due to their sensitivity to corporate spending pullbacks. As we move into 2002, we continue to expect a market punctuated by volatility and sector rotation, but overall we see several supporting factors, including relatively attractive valuations, the successful introduction of the euro, increasing confidence in the economic outlook and the ongoing restructuring of European companies as they adapt to their transforming landscape.

MSCI EAFE Index is a generally accepted benchmark for performance of major overseas markets. MSCI Europe Equity Index is an unmanaged index that is generally representative of the equity securities of the European markets. Beginning with the next semiannual report, the MSCI Europe Equity Index, which better accommodates the Portfolio's objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation through investment in European common stocks and other equities, will be shown instead of the MSCI EAFE Index.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Small Cap Growth Portfolio

Technology stock declines weighed heavily on Scudder Small Cap Growth Portfolio's results in 2001. The portfolio fell 28.91 percent, much more than the Russell 2000 Growth Index, an unmanaged group of rapidly growing small-company stocks, which declined 9.23 percent for the year. We entered the year with a higher concentration in small technology stocks than the index, and reduced this in the spring and early summer to an underweight position.

In 2001, technology companies grappled with three problems: a huge inventory of unsold goods, large write-offs of sour investments and weak prospects for product demand. Steep declines in corporate capital spending plans reduced demand for software, telecom and semiconductor products, prompting analysts to slash earnings estimates for many stocks that fit our investment discipline. The result was that the short-term corporate profit picture for most technology companies grew grim amid a global economic slowdown. Technology stocks rebounded in the fourth quarter, even as securities analysts further slashed estimates, because earnings targets were set at more realistic levels. Currently, there are early signs of a broader economic recovery, and this may reenergize the technology-investing climate. Investors are beginning to conclude that the worst of the U.S. recession is over.

For 2001 as a whole, energy stocks were another area of weakness. We brought the portfolio's weighting down from 2000 levels amid a sharp decline in this sector's stock prices. Natural gas and oil prices peaked in early winter 2001 amid California's energy crisis and began to fall sharply as spring approached and the global economy weakened, reducing consumer and industrial demand for fuel.

For the year ahead, we expect to maintain a strong position in health care stocks. We believe small-cap pharmaceutical firms could do especially well with medicines tailored to a person's specific biochemistry and genetic makeup. Another area that we believe has the potential to do well in 2002 is financial stocks. Interest rates reached 40-year lows during the fourth quarter of 2001, boosting earnings prospects for financial stocks. Our focus within this sector remains property and casualty insurance companies, who appear well-positioned to benefit from an improved pricing environment.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Small Cap Value Portfolio

The Scudder Small Cap Value Portfolio posted a strong double-digit return for the 12-month period ended December 31, outperforming the Russell 2000 Index by more than three percentage points. Going back to 1998 and 1999, the financial markets were quite speculative, and growth stocks had dominated value stocks. The stock market then endured several volatile periods during 2001: These came in the form of two "bear market rallies" where growth stocks jumped ahead of value stocks for two to three months at a time. The first such rally came in April and May 2001, and the second began in November. These growth rallies occurred against a backdrop of deteriorating corporate profits and a worsening U.S. economy. Over time, long-standing excesses in many growth stocks began to unwind, and value stocks rebounded strongly, as investors anticipated a turnaround in the U.S. economy during the second half of 2002. During 2001, stocks with the smallest market capitalization performed best.

The top performing sectors within small company value stocks as a group during the 12-month period were consumer discretionary, consumer staples and technology; the worst performers were energy, telecom/utilities and health care. The portfolio's overweight (compared with its benchmark) in technology and its underweight in telecom/utilities boosted performance during the period. In addition, stock selection within the health care, consumer staples and basic industry sectors helped performance. Over the past 12 months, the portfolio had a weighted average price-to-earnings ratio of 14.22x versus 17.38x for the Russell 2000 Value Index, and a monthly average market capitalization of $687 million, versus $900 million for the index. We remain focused on companies that we expect will have higher earnings growth rates with attractive fundamentals at low relative valuations.

The Russell 2000 Index is a capitalization- weighted price-only index which is composed of 2,000 of the smallest stocks (on the basis of capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index. The largest company in the index has an approximate market cap of $591 million. The Russell 2000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Beginning with the next semiannual report, the Russell 2000 Value Index, which better accommodates the Portfolio's objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation through investment in undervalued common stocks of small U.S. Companies, will be shown instead of Russell 2000 Index.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Strategic Income Portfolio

The Scudder Strategic Income Portfolio provided a total return of 5.23 percent for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared with an 8.50 percent return for its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index, but ahead of the 3.64 percent return for the average multisector income fund as tracked by Lipper, Inc.

The primary factor affecting performance was the portfolio's emerging-markets exposure. As emerging markets rallied early in the year, the portfolio benefited from rising prices on the debt. Then, as fundamentals in Argentina deteriorated, we eliminated our holdings in Argentina. This helped the portfolio avoid much of the damage caused by the general sell-off in Latin America. While the portfolio continues to hold emerging markets, we remain in higher quality holdings in an effort to maintain attractive yields while seeking to reduce price volatility.

In the high-yield market, we entered the year fairly positive on the outlook for lower interest rates and a rebound in the economy by the second or third quarter. As a result, we maintained our holdings in high-yield U.S. securities, which we believed would benefit from the expected recovery. That strategy worked well for the portfolio until September. Performance was hurt in September because of our overweight position in high-yield securities. However, we decided not to make any major changes because we thought the downward move was behind us. That decision helped the portfolio in October and November as the high-yield market rebounded on early signs that the economy was beginning to recover.

Although we believe we will see signs of recovery in 2002, we have become more cautious regarding overall credit quality. Accordingly, we have emphasized corporate securities that we believe to be less sensitive to changes in the economy. Also, we will continue to watch the situation in Argentina closely. Until the outlook there begins to stabilize, we intend to retain our cautious emerging-markets exposure.

a As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Portfolio has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium on debt securities. In addition, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 are included as interest income. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income per share by $.04, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $.04 and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 5.16% to 4.76%. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to January 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.
b On June 18, 2001, the Portfolio implemented a 1 for 10 reverse stock split. Per share information, for the periods prior to December 31, 2001, has been restated to reflect the effect of the split. Shareholders received 1 share for every 10 shares owned and net asset value per share increased correspondingly (see Notes to Financial Statements).

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Technology Growth Portfolio

We are disappointed to report that Scudder Technology Growth Portfolio's return was -32.39 percent for fiscal year 2001. The portfolio's benchmark, the unmanaged JPMorgan H&Q Technology Index, fell 30.88 percent for the 12 months ended December 31, 2001. During the period, we also measured the portfolio's performance against the unmanaged Goldman Sachs Technology Index, a capitalization-weighted group of more than 200 technology stocks of various sizes. The index fell 28.57 percent for the 12 months ended December 31.

We attribute some of the portfolio's underperformance to investments in private placement (non-publicly traded) securities whose values were marked down drastically and which are not in either index. We also maintained a large cash position that hurt performance when the market rallied this past autumn.

In 2001, technology companies grappled with three problems: huge inventory levels of unsold goods, large write-offs of sour investments and weak prospects for product demand. Given the weak environment, we sold some of the smaller, less-well capitalized companies in the portfolio, and adopted a more defensive posture. We eliminated companies we felt had weak prospects or little hope of a turnaround. This positioning increased the portfolio's overall level of concentration.

For the year ahead, we believe technology companies will look to exciting new applications to rekindle corporate capital spending on technology. Innovative applications typically drive end users to purchase new technology products, and that ripples up through the entire supply chain. We will look for companies with high cash flow -- companies that we believe will be survivors.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


Scudder Total Return Portfolio

In 2001, the economy ended its many years of expansion and moved from a slow-down into a full-fledged recession. The markets plummeted, but by year's end it was clear that the U.S. economy and investment markets would remain resilient.

Scudder Total Return Portfolio invests in both stocks and bonds. Gains in bonds tempered the portfolio's exposure to wild market volatility and mitigated potential losses by the portfolio's stocks. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2001, the portfolio declined 6.09 percent. By comparison, the portfolio's equity benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500, lost 11.88 percent and the portfolio's bond benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, gained 8.50 percent. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged group of large-cap stocks (growth and value) that are representative of the U.S. stock market. The Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index is a group of U.S. government and corporate bonds representative of the broad bond market.

We actively monitor the portfolio's stock-to-bond ratio. The portfolio's allocation is based on our analysis of market and economic conditions. We consider interest-rate and inflation trends, monetary policy, domestic earnings growth, and the global economy. A "neutral" mix has typically been about 60 percent stocks and 40 percent bonds. We structured the portfolio defensively throughout most of the period because of the economic slowdown. We reduced technology and added to more defensive stocks such as health care and finance. By late summer, we had allowed cash to build up and the portfolio's stock-to-bond ratio shifted to about 50 percent stocks and 45 percent bonds. As we saw signs of improvement, we shifted the ratio back to about 60 percent stocks and 40 percent bonds; trimmed defensive stocks; and added stocks we believed would benefit from an improving economy. These included technology, industrial and retail stocks. This was beneficial at year-end.

We expect market volatility to continue as the economic and political environment remains uncertain. We believe that the worst may be over and have positioned the portfolio to take full advantage of any economic improvement with its increased stock exposure.

a As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Portfolio has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium on debt securities. In addition, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 are included as interest income. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income per share by $.03, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $.03 and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 2.76% to 2.63%.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Dreman Financial Services Portfolio

Last year was a difficult investment environment, and financial stocks struggled. The portfolio lost ground during the year, but strongly outperformed on a relative basis. The portfolio lost 4.86 percent versus the 8.79 percent loss by its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's Financial Index, a gauge of performance for the financial companies within the S&P 500. We attribute the outperformance to our more conservative portfolio. Our investment criteria preclude us from participating in some of the more speculative areas of the financial sector. We never invested in second tier lending companies - those that offer credit to riskier clients. Nor did we take part in the frenzy around some of the formerly high-flying, on-line brokers, which endured deep losses in 2001.

As contrarian value investors, we look for financial services companies whose stocks have fallen out of favor but are fundamentally sound companies with strong balance sheets. The dramatic declines that followed the events of September 11 provided us with the opportunity to add solid companies at deeply discounted prices We increased our position in multiline insurer American International Group (AIG). We also restructured our regional bank portfolio adding to those holdings that we believe provide the best upside potential. Despite the tough environment Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two of the portfolio's largest and longest-held names, continued to post strongly positive earnings, but their stock price performance was lackluster for the 12-month period. We firmly believe that the setback is temporary and that these issues, which have lower price-to-earnings ratios and faster growth rates than many top-growth companies, will surge ahead once again.

We expect the markets to remain volatile as political and economic uncertainty remains, but we're optimistic that we'll see some economic improvement in 2002. We intend to keep the portfolio defensively positioned until the timing of a recovery becomes clearer. We will remain underweight, relative to the benchmark, in large money center banks, which we believe have greater exposure to foreign loan defaults. And as we find opportunities, we will continue to build our position in good financial stocks that we believe to be undervalued.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Dreman High Return Equity Portfolio

Last year was an extremely difficult investment environment. Nearly all stocks declined, but large value stocks weathered the storm better than large growth stocks.

Despite the market and economic challenges, the portfolio posted strong relative performance, gaining 1.69 percent versus the 11.88 percent loss by its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged group of large-cap stocks (growth and value) that are representative of the U.S. stock market. We attribute this outperformance to our strictly disciplined value investing strategy, which we believe is the key to providing greater value to shareholders over time.

We used the extreme market volatility to add quality blue chip companies from a variety of market sectors at deeply discounted valuations. Although we're enthusiastic about the gains already posted by these investments, we're exercising extreme caution by building the positions slowly and keeping a close watch on their performance. We don't want to add stocks that are cheap and destined to become cheaper. We're looking for the companies that will be the clear survivors when the economy and markets turn. The portfolio's core concentration continues to be financials, tobacco, energy and health care but it is less concentrated in those sectors than it has been in the past. We've added to retail and capital goods stocks and created a new position in casino companies. In health care, we switched our focus to large pharmaceutical companies from health care service providers that had posted strong gains over the last several years.

We expect the markets to remain volatile as political and economic uncertainty remains, but we're optimistic that we'll see some overall economic improvement in 2002. We don't expect a quick recovery. We're anticipating a muted one that could take many months to work through. In the meantime, we'll continue to be vigilant in looking for solid investment opportunities to further enhance the portfolio's performance.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Dynamic Growth Portfolio

Since inception through December 31, 2001, the portfolio declined by 12.00 percent, underperforming the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index.

The bear market in stocks had investors growing increasingly risk averse, a sentiment that led to growth stocks being out of favor. In particular, the telecommunications and technology sectors, two areas that enjoyed rapid growth during the late 1990s, declined sharply during the period. For most of the year, the portfolio's overweight exposure in those areas hindered performance. (The portfolio's financial services stocks also endured a challenging year.)

Meanwhile, the portfolio's exposure to basic materials, health care and utilities - areas often regarded as more defensive sectors - performed well during 2001. During the fourth quarter, the market's tone improved, and investors became more optimistic about an economic recovery during 2002. This change in sentiment bolstered the portfolio's consumer discretionary stocks. On the positive side, our pharmaceutical and device stocks in health care were strong contributors for the year, as were retailers and others in the consumer sector.

We remain optimistic that the economy will recover in the coming year, and that all sectors will benefit. Furthermore, we are confident that corporate earnings will improve dramatically to the surprise of many observers.

We have positioned the portfolio to capitalize on the renewed expansion, emphasizing companies in the semiconductor, software, asset management, brokerage and industrial sectors, while maintaining significant exposure to consumer discretionary companies. Conversely, we have continued to decrease our exposure to the more defensive health care and financial services companies, as we believe better opportunities exist elsewhere.

1 Total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments over the periods specified, assuming reinvestment of all dividends.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Focus Value+Growth Portfolio

In 2001, the economy moved from a slowdown into a full-fledged recession. Large growth stocks declined precipitously. Value stocks held up much better, but also ended the year in net declines - the result of deep losses experienced after the September terrorist attacks.

The portfolio declined 14.35 percent. The portfolio's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500, declined 11.88 percent. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged group of large-cap stocks that are generally representative of the U.S. stock market. We attribute the underperformance to the focused portfolio with relatively few stocks, versus the more diversified structure of the S&P 500. The nondiversified format of this portfolio makes it more susceptible to market volatility

Since the change in management, the portfolio's growth sleeve has been concentrated in consumer stocks, technology, health care and financials. Almost every economic sector declined during the period but pockets of strength appeared in some individual stocks such as Dell, IBM and Johnson & Johnson.

Since June, the value sleeve of the portfolio has been concentrated in stocks the managers believe to have the best growth potential in the short and long term. Financial stocks comprise the largest portion of the portfolio, with meaningful positions in telecommunications, information technology and consumer discretionary stocks. Although many of these stocks declined with the market, the managers have confidence that with a turn in the economy, they have the potential to bounce back strongly.

The management team expects that an economic recovery may begin as early as the second quarter of 2002. In the meantime, they plan to stay disciplined and focus on looking for stocks - both growth and value - with the best potential for long-term growth.

1 Average annual total return and total return measure net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments over the periods specified, assuming reinvestment of all dividends. Average annual total return reflects annualized change while total return reflects aggregate change. Performance is net of the portfolio's management fee and other operating expenses but does not include any deduction at the separate account or contract level for any insurance or surrender charges that may be incurred under a contract. Please see the prospectus for more details.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Returns and principal values will fluctuate so that accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Focused Large Cap Growth Portfolio

During 2001 the SVS Focused Large Cap Growth Portfolio was down 17.02 percent while the S&P 500 Index was down 11.88 percent and the Russell 1000 Growth Index was down 20.42 percent. This performance placed the portfolio in the second Lipper quartile for large cap growth variable underlying funds in 2001.

The year 2001 was marked by global recession, the California energy crisis, sharp declines on Wall Street, and most significantly, tragedy. The attacks of September 11 had far-reaching implications for the nation's citizens and its economy. Nonetheless, several other factors combined to define the past year's market turbulence. Businesses were adjusting to a new reality of slower demand after the unsustainable capital spending in 1999 and early 2000. Resulting inventory excesses contributed to corporate woes as businesses cut their budgets and layoffs reached 1.8 million through November. U.S. corporations reported weak revenues, earnings, and cash flow throughout the year. During this volatility, major sector changes were not in order, as we maintained investments in companies with strong balance sheets and adept management teams capable of weathering the economic slowdown.

Moving forward we see several encouraging developments that bode well for a sustained economic recovery. We believe we are most likely to see a return in the U.S. equity markets to slow, steady and sustained growth in the 8 to 12 percent range over the next couple of years. With its emphasis on large-cap companies with strong business models in the fastest growing segments of the U.S. economy, we believe the portfolio is well positioned regardless of the shape and strength of the eventual recovery.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Growth and Income Portfolio

In a difficult environment for stocks during 2001, the SVS Growth and Income Portfolio - which stays fully invested in stocks and will therefore rise and fall along with the U.S. market - produced a negative return. However, we accomplished our primary goal of outperforming the broader market and similar portfolios during the period. We seek to fulfill this objective by using a disciplined, multi-step process to invest in large company stocks that possess attractive fundamental characteristics, but whose prices do not fully reflect their positive outlook. At the same time, we seek to manage risk by diversifying the portfolio among both "growth" and "value" stocks across a wide range of industries.

This approach helped the portfolio produce a competitive performance amid a weak market environment. Performance was boosted by stock selection within the health care sector, and, within the technology sector, our decision to emphasize software and semiconductor (computer chip) stocks over the weaker-performing hardware and communication services areas also provided a boost. Our underweight position (relative to the S&P 500) in utilities supplied an additional lift to performance. On the down side, the portfolio was hurt by stock selection within the consumer discretionary area and an underweight position in industrials.

From a strategic standpoint, we have been seeking to take advantage of opportunities in more economically sensitive stocks where our research shows that prices do not accurately reflect the potential improvement in their fundamentals. Although earnings in some sectors remain well below normal at present, we believe that our three-step process has allowed us to uncover a number of stocks whose earnings are poised to recover. The portfolio now holds an increased weighting in technology and cyclical stocks. At the same time, we have reduced exposure to more defensive areas where we believe earnings have been above normal, such as energy and utilities.

Overall, we are positive on the outlook for the market based on three factors: lower interest rates, attractive valuations among many individual stocks, and the prospect for improved earnings in 2002.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Growth Opportunities Portfolio

Volatility was prevalent throughout much of the economic landscape in 2001. With unemployment rising to a six-year high and earnings by U.S. companies increasingly dismal, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates 11 times to 1.75 percent. This influx of liquidity helped consumer spending hold up surprisingly well despite the terrorist attacks of September 11. In this environment, the SVS Growth Opportunities Portfolio underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

Among our top performers was Microsoft. While it may be surprising that a technology name gained ground during the year, the software giant is often considered a safe haven in the industry with its dominant market share and solid cash flow. Investor perception aside, the company reported a number of positive developments, including its antitrust settlement with the U.S. Justice Department. Though there are still pending lawsuits with nine states, the issue seems to be finally nearing a close. In addition, Microsoft launched Windows XP and gaming console Xbox.

Elsewhere, one of our more defensive holdings, General Electric, ended the period in negative territory. Nonetheless, CEO Jeffrey Immelt said the company expects to grow earnings 17-18 percent in 2002 during a recent meeting. Furthermore, GE plans to launch an aggressive acquisition campaign as a result of its strong balance sheet and weak economic conditions, which should enable it to take advantage of some excellent buying opportunities.

Going forward, the economic outlook continues to be uncertain. With that in mind, we will maintain our balanced investment approach. That is, weighing a company's risk against its reward while being valuation sensitive.

1 Average annual total return and total return measure net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments over the periods specified, assuming reinvestment of all dividends. Average annual total return reflects annualized change while total return reflects aggregate change. Performance is net of the portfolio's management fee and other operating expenses but does not include any deduction at the separate account or contract level for any insurance or surrender charges that may be incurred under a contract. Please see the prospectus for more details.
The investment advisor has agreed to either limit, waive or reduce certain fees temporarily for this portfolio; see the prospectus for complete details. Without such limits, waivers or reductions, the performance figures for this subaccount would be lower.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Returns and principal values will fluctuate so that accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Index 500 Portfolio

The first half of 2001 continued one of the worst periods U.S. equity markets. After declining 11.86 percent in the first quarter, the S&P 500 rebounded in the second quarter rising 5.85 percent. Through the end of the first half, the index was down 6.70 percent.

After the sharp decline of the first quarter, equity markets rebounded in the second quarter for the first positive quarterly performance since the first quarter of 2001. Equities performed better as the Federal Reserve continued its policy of monetary easing in an effort to stimulate the economy.

The second half of 2001 saw the almost unprecedented shutdown of U.S. markets after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. This coupled with a growing awareness of economic weakness resulted in the third quarter (down 14.68 percent) posting the worst quarterly performance since 1987. After markets reopened in late September and selling subsided, equities staged a rally throughout the fourth quarter finishing up 10.69 percent for the quarter.

The attacks resulted in falling consumer confidence coming on top of increasing job cuts and falling manufacturing. Even before the attack, expectations for any economic rebound were being pushed further out in time. The Federal Reserve continued its policy of monetary ease as it attempted to offset the economic slowdown that started in the technology and telecommunication sectors at the end of last year and spread to most other sectors of the economy. The index was down 5.56 percent during the second half and finished the year down 11.88 percent.

1 Average annual total return and total return measure net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments over the periods specified, assuming reinvestment of all dividends. Average annual total return reflects annualized change while total return reflects aggregate change. Performance is net of the portfolio's management fee and other operating expenses but does not include any deduction at the separate account or contract level for any insurance or surrender charges that may be incurred under a contract. Please see the prospectus for more details.
The investment advisor has agreed to either limit, waive or reduce certain fees temporarily for this portfolio; see the prospectus for complete details. Without such limits, waivers or reductions, the performance figures for this subaccount would be lower.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Returns and principal values will fluctuate so that accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Mid Cap Growth Portfolio

The eight-month period from the inception of the SVS Mid Cap Growth Portfolio on May 1 to December 31, 2001, was not at all beneficent to mid-cap growth stocks. The Russell Midcap Growth Index tumbled 8.64 percent. For its part, the SVS Mid Cap Growth Portfolio lost 11.80 percent, underperforming the index by 3.16 percentage points.

The weakness in mid-cap growth stocks reflected investors' belief that the earnings prospects of mid-cap growth companies weren't bright enough in the short term to justify paying a premium for their shares, so the stocks fell hard. As for the portfolio's holdings, three of 10 sector positions outperformed their corresponding index sectors.

Throughout the period, we continued to pick stocks according to our time-tested principle of buying companies with earnings that are likely to exceed expectations. Of course, no investment approach, including ours, always generates strong results. But we believe our investment approach has merit over the long term, and we are remaining true to our discipline.

Indeed, our approach did generate strong returns in the fourth quarter: the portfolio was up 12 percent, but that wasn't enough to compensate for the losses suffered earlier. The fund's performance pattern was typical of that of our growth-stock portfolios, which have tended to perform strongly in rising markets and underperform in falling markets. We buy the stocks of companies whose earnings are expected to exceed expectations, and those tend to be the stocks with relatively high price/earnings ratios, which are hardest hit in a bear market environment.

Contributing the most to performance were our health-care holdings: they amounted to a 24 percent weighting and rose 8 percent, compared with 4 percent for the Russell Midcap Growth Index health care sector. Our technology holdings detracted most from results by far; under performing the technology sector as a whole. Specifically, they declined 40 percent, versus a 28 percent drop by the sector.

Going forward, we continue to emphasize stocks of companies that we think have the strongest earnings prospects, especially those that do well after the initial stage of an economic upswing, such as data-storage, enterprise-software, electronic-manufacturing, wireless-communications, and financial transaction-processing companies.

1 Total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments over the periods specified, assuming reinvestment of all dividends. Performance is net of the portfolio's management fee and other operating expenses but does not include any deduction at the separate account or contract level for any insurance or surrender charges that may be incurred under a contract. Please see the prospectus for more details.
The investment advisor has agreed to either limit, waive or reduce certain fees temporarily for this portfolio; see the prospectus for complete details. Without such limits, waivers or reductions, the performance figures for this subaccount would be lower.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Returns and principal values will fluctuate so that accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Strategic Equity Portfolio

By all measures, this has been an interesting year for the SVS Strategic Equity Portfolio and us all. When the turn in the economy comes, we expect earnings to grow disproportionately to revenues due to cost cutting and productivity improvements being put in place today. New technologies historically take years to show their true productive benefits. And in many cases, technology shifts have coincided remarkably well with economic recessions and recoveries. Economic slowdowns give management teams a little more breathing room to make decisions that would be tougher to make during the good times.

The path to long-term growth for most companies will continue to rest with innovation: developing new products, expanding into new markets, and creating more efficient delivery mechanisms. In this sense, the environment hasn't changed. Following the Gulf War and the recession in 1990, the same challenges prevailed. We had just come off a decade when Japan had dominated the business headlines. They were more "efficient" than the United States in just about every measure according to many. We were "permanently" behind, some said, and uncompetitive.

Our concentrated portfolio strategy helps us to increase our return potential, at the expense of greater short-term volatility. We increase our potential by zeroing in on only those industries and companies with the best long-term growth prospects.

The technology, health care and financial services industries still have the greatest growth opportunities ahead. Typically, technology and financial services outperform the market in an economic recovery and expansion; while more defensive industries like health care somewhat lag it. As a result, in the short-to-intermediate term, tech and finance may have greater upside. Over the long term, we include health care to achieve a more balanced, growth portfolio. Health care is a growth sector but offers some diversification in that its moves are often insensitive to the economic cycle.

This year was particularly tough for our clients. Fortunately, we believe the stage has been set for a strong rebound in 2002 and that our accounts are positioned to participate. We look forward to it.

Management Summary and Performance Update December 31, 2001


SVS Venture Value Portfolio

During the period from May 1, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2001, the SVS Venture Value Portfolio outperformed the major value indices as well as the broader market as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Despite overall performance that was negative, some positions performed well in 2001. These tended to be shares of companies whose strong financial positions allowed them to better weather difficult economic periods or companies whose shares were poised to recover from previous declines. The most notable contributors to our overall performance at the sector level included capital goods, consumer cyclicals, and financials. The capital goods positions that contributed to performance included Tyco International and Sealed Air, while the consumer cyclical positions that contributed to performance included Costco Wholesale and Masco Corp. Financials, predominantly the high quality insurers Progressive Corp., Transatlantic Holdings, and Berkshire Hathaway also contributed to performance. Price weakness during the period was experienced by a diversity of sectors and industries within the portfolio in conjunction with weakness throughout the stock market. The biggest contributors to our negative performance came primarily from technology, consumer finance, and pharmaceutical companies including Tellabs, Providian Financial, American Express, and Merck.

The SVS Venture Value Portfolio continues to reflect strategic allocations to financial, capital goods, consumer products, and select pharmaceutical companies. Our allocation to technology, by contrast, declined over the period as a result of active paring and declines in technology shares. These allocations reflect long-term investment themes, based on the strong influences of demographic trends, globalization, consolidation, and business capital spending trends. It is important to recognize that we have chosen to maintain exposures to businesses that we believe will fare better over full market cycles rather than attempt to rotate from sector to sector in the short-term.

We maintain a realistic long-term view for the U.S. stock market. At the current time, inflation remains muted, consumer confidence is relatively strong, and both the Federal government and Federal Reserve are striving to invigorate the U.S. economy. However, these positive factors are balanced by the fact that many stocks remain at high valuations, and quality of earnings for many public companies is poor. Our Senior Research Advisor, Shelby M.C. Davis, concludes that the U.S. stock market may remain in a trading range for a protracted period.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder Variable Series II (the "Trust"), formerly Kemper Variable Series, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Effective May 1, 2001, the Trust commenced offering four additional portfolios: SVS Dynamic Growth Portfolio, SVS Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, SVS Strategic Equity Portfolio and SVS Venture Value Portfolio. The Trust offers twenty-seven portfolios (the "portfolio(s)").

The Trust'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 Trust 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. Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which the security is traded most extensively. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation.

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 Zurich Scudder Cash Management QP Trust 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.

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

Repurchase Agreements. The portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the portfolios, through their custodian or sub-custodian bank, receive 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 is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest.

Options. An option contract is a contract in which the writer of the option grants the buyer of the option the right to purchase from (call option), or sell to (put option), the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. Certain options, including options on indices, will require cash settlement by the portfolio if the option is exercised.

The liability representing the portfolio's obligation under an exchange traded written option or investment in a purchased option is valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices or at the most recent asked price (bid for purchased options) if no bid and asked price are available. Over-the-counter written or purchased options are valued using dealer-supplied quotations. Gain or loss is recognized when the option contract expires or is closed.

If the portfolio writes a covered call option, the portfolio foregoes, in exchange for the premium, the opportunity to profit during the option period from an increase in the market value of the underlying security above the exercise price. If the portfolio writes a put option it accepts the risk of a decline in the market value of the underlying security below the exercise price. Over-the-counter options have the risk of the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The portfolio's maximum exposure to purchased options is limited to the premium initially paid. In addition, certain risks may arise upon entering into option contracts including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the portfolio's ability to close out an option contract prior to the expiration date and that a change in the value of the option contract may not correlate exactly with changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged.

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).

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 contract) is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at the settlement date at a negotiated rate.

Forward 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 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 contract to buy and a forward 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 contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Additionally, when utilizing forward contracts to hedge, the portfolio gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable exchange rate movements during the term of the contract.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Scudder Government Securities Portfolio may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Portfolio sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities on a fixed date. The Portfolio receives compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is paid in the form of a lower price for the security upon its repurchase, or alternatively, in the form of a fee. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price and a cash settlement made at each renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities. Several of the portfolios 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 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.

Federal Income Taxes. The portfolios' 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 and tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the portfolios paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At December 31, 2001, the following portfolios had an approximate net tax basis capital loss carryforward which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until the following expiration dates, whichever occurs first:

As permitted by tax regulations, the portfolios intend to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Distributions of net investment income, if any, for all portfolios except the Scudder Money Market Portfolio, are made annually. All of the net investment income of the Scudder Money Market Portfolio is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the portfolio 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, a portfolio may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the portfolio.

At December 31, 2001, the portfolios' components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are as follows:

Portfolio

Undistributed Ordinary Income ($)

Undistributed net long-term capital gains ($)

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

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 net of foreign withholding taxes. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the portfolio is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes (see Note H).

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios of the Scudder Variable Series II at December 31, 2001, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
