Dear Shareholder:

Also included are financial highlights for the following share classes:

Managed Shares

Briefly, for the year ending March 31, 2002, the Portfolio registered favorable performance and achieved its stated objective of providing maximum current income while maintaining stability of principal.

Economic Review and Outlook

The calendar year 2001 is unforgettable and is best viewed as a platform for renewal. In this regard, during the past few months the Fed lowered rates by an additional 75 basis points, for a total of 475 basis points for the year. This places short-term rates at their lowest level since 1961.

The questions have shifted from uncertainty about the start of an economic recovery to the actual strength of the rebound. There has been across the board improvement in most economic data series. This development most likely marks the end of the easing cycle for monetary policy. As a result, the yield curve has steepened significantly and the forward yield curve now implies that the next movement by the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be to raise rates, perhaps as early as mid-year.

In this context, we have maintained a longer life policy, especially if maturities and liquidity requirements permit it. The reasons for this were that the market offered value for extension, and there was little likelihood of any Fed tightening prior to the second quarter of 2002.

The recession probably ended in November. We were expecting that the first quarter of 2002 rather than the fourth quarter of 2001, as reported, would be the initial period registering positive growth. Nevertheless, inventory rebuilding will occur and be followed by positive developments in regards to consumer expenditures and capital spending. Unfortunately, the unemployment rate is expected to rise, and the Fed's historical record shows it is very relevant to tighten monetary conditions prior to an improvement in this measure. As a consequence, we favor longer maturities because any tightening will be delayed and not as significant as the market currently anticipates.

Notes to Financial Statements


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Investors Cash Trust (the "Fund") 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 Fund offers two series of shares (portfolios) - the Government Securities Portfolio and the Treasury Portfolio. The Government Securities Portfolio offers multiple classes of shares that include Service Shares, Institutional Shares and Managed Shares. Certain detailed financial information for the Service Shares of the Government Securities Portfolio is provided separately and is available upon request.

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, 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 Fund have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

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

Security Valuation. 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. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, 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 market value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest.

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

Distribution of Income and Gains. All of the net investment income of the Fund 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 Government Securities Portfolio except for the dividends payable of $702,259 at March 31, 2002.

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

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 discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

2. Related Parties

On April 5, 2002, Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc., ("ZSI" or the "Advisor") was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG. Deutsche Bank AG acquired 100% of ZSI with the exception of Threadneedle Investments in the U.K. Upon the closing of this transaction, ZSI became part of Deutsche Asset Management and changed its name to Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM"). Effective April 5, 2002, the investment management agreements with ZSI were terminated and DeIM became the investment advisor for the Fund.

Management Agreement. Under the Investment Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") the Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Fund pays a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets.

Until July 31, 2002, the Advisor has agreed to waive and reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund as follows:

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

3. Expense Off-Set Arrangements

The Fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the Fund's expenses. During the year ended March 31, 2002, the Government Securities Portfolio's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $4,700 and $187, respectively, under these arrangements.

4. Line of Credit

The Fund and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $750 million revolving credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, pro rata based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Investors Cash Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Investors Cash Trust (comprising the Government Securities and Treasury Portfolios) (the "Fund"), as of March 31, 2002, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended for the share classes indicated. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.

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 respective portfolios constituting Investors Cash Trust at March 31, 2002, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended for the share classes indicated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
