Dear Shareholder:

To provide you with an update of holdings, on the following pages you'll find the Cash Account Trust's semiannual report for the period ended October 31, 2002. Also included are the financial highlights for the Premier Money Market Shares of the following Cash Account Trust portfolios:

Money Market Portfolio

Government Securities Portfolio

Tax-Exempt Portfolio

For the period ended October 31, 2002, the Cash Account Trust's portfolios registered favorable performance and achieved their stated objectives of providing maximum current income (exempt from federal income taxes for Tax-Exempt Portfolio) while maintaining stability of capital.

Economic Review and Outlook

Over the six-month period ended October 31, 2002, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee ("the Fed") held interest rates steady. However, shortly after the period ended, the Fed reduced the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.25 percent on November 6, 2002. We think this rate cut will serve to bolster consumer confidence, give the economy a chance to work off excess and begin to grow again. In the near term, we believe the Fed will continue to maintain rates at their current levels.

The US economy grew slightly, as a result of strong consumer demand for housing, housing-related items and automobiles (helped by zero-percent financing). By contrast, disappointing corporate earnings and continued questions concerning corporate accounting plagued the equity markets and led to sharply lower stock prices. The unemployment rate remained between 5.5 percent and 6.0 percent. The nation's modest level of GDP (gross domestic product) growth was widely described as a "jobless recovery" and kept consumer confidence at slightly depressed levels.

In this environment, fixed-income securities - including tax-exempt money market securities drew investors disenchanted with other areas of the financial markets. While yields of short-term taxable securities held steady, longer-term yields fell substantially, flattening the Treasury yield curve.

The tax-exempt money market yield curve at the close of the period described a different situation: Due to the slowing national economy, and resulting slow growth in tax revenues, states and cities facing a revenue shortfall have issued significantly more short-term tax-exempt securities since August 2002. This considerable increase in the supply of short-term municipal securities has driven up yields on short-term municipal securities and made variable-rate demand notes (VRDNs, consisting of daily- and weekly-reset floating rate securities) much more attractive to hold. It's also worth noting that at present, tax-exempt money market securities are attractively valued compared with similar taxable money market issues.

Notes

Current annualized yield is the 7-day annualized net investment income per share as of the indicated date. The equivalent taxable yield allows you to compare with the performance of taxable money market funds. For the Tax-Exempt Portfolio, the equivalent taxable yield is based upon the marginal income tax rate of 38.6%. Income may be subject to local taxes and for some investors, the alternative minimum tax.

Like all money market funds, an investment in the portfolios is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the portfolios seek to preserve your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolios.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers only through the end of the period stated above. The managers' views are subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Account Trust (the "Trust") 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.

The Trust offers three portfolios: Money Market Portfolio, Government Securities Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio (the "Portfolios"). Money Market Portfolio offers four classes of shares: Institutional, Premier Money Market, Premium Reserve Money Market and Service. Government Securities Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Premier Money Market and Service. Tax-Exempt Portfolio offers four classes of shares: Institutional, Managed, Premier Money Market and Service. Certain detailed financial information for the Premier Money Market shares of each Portfolio, the Institutional shares of the Money Market Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio, the Premium Reserve Money Market shares of the Money Market Portfolio and the Managed shares of the Tax-Exempt Portfolio is provided separately and is available upon request.

Each Portfolio's investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain Portfolio-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 of that portfolio, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution service fees, shareholder service 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 Trust have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

Each 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 Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

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

Federal Income Taxes. Each Portfolio'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 and tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Portfolio paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At April 30, 2002, the Money Market Portfolio had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $875,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until April 30, 2008 ($2,000), April 30, 2009 ($14,000) and April 30, 2010 ($859,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

At April 30, 2002, Tax-Exempt Portfolio had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $2,430 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until April 30, 2003 ($370) and April 30, 2005 ($2,060), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

In addition, from November 1, 2001 through April 30, 2002, Tax-Exempt Portfolio incurred approximately $1,630 of net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Portfolio intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2003.

Distribution of Income and Gains. All of the net investment income of each Portfolio is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. For the purposes of the daily dividend, net investment income includes all realized gains (losses) on portfolio securities.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences for the Portfolios.

Expenses. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Portfolio are allocated to that Portfolio. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Portfolio are apportioned among the Portfolios in the Trust.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

2. Related Parties
